Description

Description

Designed for all players seeking performance and wanting to break free from the keyboard, mouse, or gamepad or improve their skills. The Thrustmaster racing wheel has official licenses for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 and is compatible with PC.

The T248 features more than 20 different displays on its built-in screen: manual adjustment of a range of settings (selection of Force Feedback type, rotation angle, etc.) or user selection of telemetry information (gear ratio, RPM, best lap time, etc.).

Force Feedback Dynamics

The T248 features 3 types of force feedback (including presets), compatible with all games and adjustable during operation directly on the wheel:

  • FFB 1: 100% force feedback proportional to the force requested by the game.
  • FFB 2: enhanced force feedback, for better control of skidding.
  • FFB 3: enhanced force feedback, allowing users to clearly feel all racing effects from the track (curbs, off-track skidding, etc.).

Next-generation hybrid drive system

Providing players with extra power (up to 70% more than the previous hybrid racing wheel from Thrustmaster, the T150), the T248 dominates the tracks thanks to its intensity.

The excellent driving behavior made possible by this hybrid system avoids the unsightly sensations and friction issues typically encountered in wheels without a belt-driven motion element.

25 action buttons

Including the 2 dual-position encoders (up and down) located at the ends of the central spokes of the steering wheel, the T248 features almost twice as many action buttons as previous Thrustmaster steering wheels.

This extensive range of physical and virtual buttons allows users to always have plenty of options when it comes to assigning racing controls, in every type of game.

Magnetic Gear Shifters

Thanks to H.E.A.R.T. magnetic technology, the T248's gear shifters allow for extremely fast gear changes, with a clear and precise activation feel (response time of 30 ms) to avoid driving errors.

This technology, based on a contactless and frictionless magnet system, also allows for unprecedented longevity even under the most intense gaming conditions.

Magnetic Pedal Set

Providing truly exceptional millisecond precision, the T3PM magnetic pedal set also allows for 4 pressure modes on the brake pedal.

With perfectly smooth movement and avoiding the loss of precision over time observed in standard pedal sets that rely on potentiometers, the T3PM represents a huge, impressive leap forward in terms of both versatility and in-game response.

    Overall, a very good steering wheel for its price, however it has some negatives. Some of them:
    1) It makes quite a lot of noise in all areas, pedals, buttons, paddle shifters (mainly those), so keep in mind that you will be disturbing others while using it.
    2) It needs to be tightened very well either on a rack or on the desk, but even then in some cases it loosens.
    3) Although the wheel is (relatively) small, I feel the buttons on the wheel are far from my hands, so sometimes I find myself searching for the buttons on the rest of the wheel.
    4) In some cases, the whole construction of the wheel feels like it creaks in your hands.
    5) I think its price could be lower.

    Overall, it is a very good product and relatively affordable to offer you a "realistic" driving experience in a video game, so I highly recommend it, especially if you also buy a rack to secure the whole system better.

    Perfect driving sensation. I play it in F1, Dakar Off Road, and it's awesome. It has countless adjustments, and the good thing is that you can make them on the spot while playing the game from the steering wheel buttons. The brake is quite hard, and the steering wheel has moved a couple of times on difficult tracks (Monaco). I think it just needs a gaming/driving chair.
