Definitely worth the money. It’s exactly what i wanted

Good quality wheel and great pedal set! Definitely worth the money in my opinion

Good works well csnt complainabout it works seamleslly

Good wheel full 900 degree but feels really bad tbh not realistic

I did not like this wheel, I took it back. It feels cheap and made of cheap plastic.

Does not work for PC at all. Followed the instructions to a T. Not sure if I needed some sort of software, but ended up returning it for a logitech wheel.

I have the Logitech G923 wheel for my Xbox and PC but I always use it on the Xbox for Forza. It does not work with the PS5. So I got this to be able to play with either PC or PS5 since it works with both. The wheel is very easy to setup right out of the box. There's a few wires but nothing crazy. Connecting it all is not any issue. The only issue you will likely have is just the best way to route and hide the cables. After about 10 minutes of being under my desk sorting cables, I was able to get it all routed and ready to play. Firing it up for the first time and it works just fine. However the first game I attempt it with, an older game, it does not recognize the wheel. A reboot and firmware update and the game then works. I believe it was Wreckfest I tested that with at first but I'm not completely sure. I do know that I fired up Need for Speed Unbound, my currently most played racer, and it was amazing to play with the wheel. The feedback is excellent, although not as heavy duty, hard whipping the wheel out of your hands as the G923, but that is to be expected. It has excellent feedback for the wheel size, which I might add, is also a little smaller than the G923, which is nearly the size of a real steering wheel. The clamping system to clamp to the desk is pretty good if you're not a maniac with the wheel. I was able to race a few times without issue but when I asked my wife to test it, it wasn't about 10 seconds before it came off of the desk. Subsequent mounting attempts using the lock system were a bit better but I never trusted it to be completely stable when she was using it. I had no issues however as I am a bit lighter of a hand on the wheel. I went on to test several other racing games and had no issues with being recognized. I also didn't have to run any special software (other than the Logitech software of course) or do any special configuration with the games. The wheel just worked. The pedals are plastic, light but seem not to move much at all on my carpet. There did not seem to be any spears or anything to angle downward into the carpet but however they designed it, it didn't move hardly any. I will say I did rest the ends a bit against the foot stool I had but surprisingly the thin, cheap, light pedals aren't much of an issue, other than perhaps you not liking having thin, cheap, light pedals, which seemingly is maybe where some of the money was cut to make this more affordable. All in all no real issues and I'd easily recommend this to anyone looking to get a wheel for PC or PS5 (there's an Xbox/PC version as well so make sure to purchase the right one). I recommend it for anyone but the most hardcore racers. Hardcore racers would likely want something starting around the Logitech G923 but this wheel will be a great, affordable wheel for anyone.

Overall, this racing wheel is a pretty great piece of hardware and a worthwhile addition to my gaming setup. However, there are a few quirks I can think of that should be pointed out before buying. First off, the wheel itself is a bit smaller than I realized it would be. It's more like the size of a go-kart or a golf cart wheel as opposed to a full-size car wheel. Second, you should make sure to mount the foot pedals or at least put something heavy in front of them so they don't slip (I spent an embarrassing amount of time not realizing I couldn't go full throttle because the gas pedal kept getting stuck on the crossbar of my desk). Third, configuring the wheel on PC is more of an involved process than it is on PlayStation since you do need the drivers, and it won't play nicely with all games (particularly older ones). Not every game will automatically map the controls, especially on PC. Finally, you have to make sure you fine-tune the settings - out of the box in Forza Horizon 4 it felt like the wheel was fighting me every step of the way. It's a bit overwhelming, since I have ADHD, but once I got everything adjusted to my preferences using the wheel was a much better experience. That aside, this is some pretty good hardware. It took me a little bit to get used to it (particularly because of the shrunken scale and my rather large hands and feet), but once I got the hang of it I definitely felt a lot more immersed in the games I was playing than I usually do with a controller. The clamp was pretty firm and kept it attached to my desk without scratching it or coming loose, even with the feedback from wrecking my car or going off-road. I said earlier that it was go-kart sized: it also *feels* like a go-kart wheel. This isn't to say, though, that build quality is bad or the wheel is uncomfortable - it was pretty easy on my hands once I adjusted to the small size. I am, however, less sold on the pedals - they feel especially plasticky. I think my favorite experience using the wheel was just aimlessly driving about in Forza Horizon 4. I find aimless drives rather relaxing, but I'm not a fan of the gas costs. Using this setup to drive about in-game scratched that itch in a way using a controller never really does, thanks to having an actual wheel that behaves kind of like the real thing instead of a joystick. Honestly I'd say it's worth it just for that, but I'll admit that's kind of a weirdly specific and personal taste. So, overall. I imagine there are better wheels out there you can get; particularly if you aren't willing to put up with the smaller scale of the thing. Again, the closest real-world steering wheel I've found is on a golf cart. However, if you're just starting out with a wheel, and you have something to keep the pedal board locked in place so it doesn't slide about while you use it, this isn't a bad choice. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends (with those caveats, at least.)

I love to play racing sims and I jumped at the opportunity to try out this Thrustmaster T128 Racing wheel. I play all of my games on my PC and this racing wheel was a good addition to my set up. I tried out this Thrustmaster T128 on three of my favorite racing sims: Assetto Corsa Compitizione, F1 22 and BeamNG drive. I say that this wheel is a good entry level starter because it has a slightly smaller wheel and pedal board which is mainly made up of hard plastic. I set this wheel to my PC and it is was quiet easy to do and took very little time. The clamp is very easy to adjust and provides a good amount of clearance. The main reason why I really liked this wheel is the main reason you should consider when purchasing a racing wheel, responsiveness. The force feedback is fairly decent. You can feel it as you transition from one surface to another. A couple of other details that I liked about the wheel are the paddle shifters and the buttons on the wheel. The nice thing about the paddle shifters are how responsive they are. The buttons are positioned in a very accessible location on the wheel. The main reason why I gave this Thrustmaster T128 4 out of 5 stars are the pedals. They are way too small and are too close together. Just like anything new, I thought I would adjust it, but even after using it for days, I had a hard time with them. Overall, there are more positive than negatives. I think if someone younger was using this as their first wheel it would be ideal for them.

I don't like it. I wanna return but it doesn't let me.

We had to return it, not compatible with PS5 as it said

I couldn't connect it to my ps5 after several attempts

The Thrustmaster - T128 is a great choice for the casual to serious gamer. My 21 year-old son and I are {not surprisngly} very competitive. And while he smokes me in shooter type games, we are pretty neck-and-neck on racing games. This was SUPPOSED to give me an advantage, but I'll get to that later. First off, set-up was pretty straight-forward. Any experienced gamer should be able to have it set up in no time. Basicly plug, load drivers (at least for PC) and you're off and running. As for use, the "feel" is great. The wheel adjusts relatively well to the nature of the environment. The haptic feedback is fun and accurate. The overall feel is good, but for maybe more advanced/serious users, there may be better (and by better, I also mean more expensive options) but for a casual user, this is a nice option. The one item that I will note, is the pedals take some getting used to. Probably more-so for me and my 36 years of "real driving" as compared to my son, who has considerably more years behind a virtual wheel. He seememd to adjust to them much quicker than I did. As mentioned earlier, this was SUPPOSED to give me an advantage in our gaming... Well, he ended up taking this to his dorm at the US NAavy Nuclear Engineering dorm! So he now has the advantage! I will probabky need to get another one to even us up!

The Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel used while playing Gran Turismo on my PlayStation 5. Build Quality and Design: The T128 Racing Wheel is made of hard plastic and well-built with a sturdy construction that feels durable. The wheel has a comfortable grip and is ergonomically designed, allowing for long hours of gameplay without discomfort. The pedal set is also solid and provides a realistic feel. The only thing I would’ve like to see is if the steering wheel had some texture or grip to it. The controls are also plastic feeling, the paddle shifters were placed perfectly and easy to shift. Compatibility and Setup: Setting up was a breeze. It is designed specifically for the PlayStation 5 and I used the disc version of Gran Turismo. Connecting it to the console was straightforward, and the provided instructions were clear and easy to follow. I set up my wheel on a table and looking to get a frame. The only issue is the cord from wheel to PS5 is short, would loved for it to at least be 15ft long. Realism and Precision: The T128 Racing Wheel truly elevates the driving experience in Gran Turismo. The force feedback is excellent, providing realistic vibrations and resistance that make you feel every turn, bump, and acceleration. The precision of the wheel and pedals was precise. Adjustable Settings: One of the standout is its adjustability. You can fine-tune various settings, such as force feedback strength, sensitivity, and pedal response, to suit your preferences. This level of customization enhances the overall immersion and caters to different playing styles. Compatibility with Other Games: While I primarily used the T128 Racing Wheel for Gran Turismo, it is also compatible with other racing games on the PlayStation 5. This versatility is a big plus for those who enjoy a variety of racing titles. Overall, the Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel is a great racing wheel at an affordable price. Its build quality, realistic feedback, and adjustable settings combine to create an immersive and authentic racing experience. Whether you're a casual gamer or a dedicated racing enthusiast, this wheel is definitely worth considering for enhancing your gameplay. I gave 4 stars mainly because the wheel could have had a little grip or less plastic feeling.

The Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel and Pedal package is a steal at retail price and I am going to tell you why I feel that way. I was able to compare this wheel to my 2 current setuos which include the Thrustmaster T300 Ferrari setup and a mid-tier direct drive wheel setup with a very expemsive pedal setup. First, install is easy with the desk clamp if you do not have a sim rig like myself. I tested this wheel in both my sim rig and attached to my kids desk where it still stays as they now have their own wheel amd pedal setup. I also found the Thrustmaster 3 pedal setup from my T300 plugs in and works great as well as the Thrustmaster Shifter. Knowing the T129 uses/accepts many of the TM add ons is a hige positive as you can upgrade as your budget allows. First, the steering wheel, it is a great piece of hardware for what you pay. Is it anywhere near Direct Drive? No, because in drifting and hard racing cknditions with a lot of jumps or bumpy race tracks, i was able to may the wheel slip off axis multiple times. Please take into consideration, I sim race for more than a hobby, I race series against very good drivers across the world in many games. The wheel performs fantastic for what it is though, the kids can actually race against me now from the backup sim PC and they have yet to complain as they are used to only using the T300. The T129 has some dead zones towards TDC of the wheel, it feels like I have to turn a little early so the wheel knows to start the turn in time and start exiting turns and apexs a little early as well. The Force Feedback is ok, nowhere near the Direct Drive wheel but on par with the T300, really not that far different, the T300 is just stronger. Sexond, the pedals are good enough for the kids, not for me. Yes, the magnetic sensors are much better now than the earlier styke 2 pedal setup from TM, like night and day, but, they are not linear at all when tested. At 10% throttle, measured with a ruler, I was showing 16%, 50 was 52% and 100% did get 100%. Do they work, yes, they do, and do just fine for beginners and kids. Make sure to download the TM software to setup and update the wheel and pedals as well, it can save you a ton of headaches. I highly recommend this setup for any beginner or any kid out there on a birthday budget

The Thrustmaster T128 is an awesome entry level steering wheel, and it is priced right as to not break the budget, especially if you catch it on sale. For me, this steering wheel is just what I was looking for. It is packed with features, and I think for the price you are given a ‘bare bones’ experience, but it’s not that bad in my opinion. Sure, it’s mainly made of plastic and there are no soft touch surfaces, but it does get the job done and I found that I was very happy with it. I wasn’t in love with the layout and design of the buttons and controls, but after some use, they have grown on me, and I now find them easy and intuitive to use. The buttons are laid out well and are responsive to the touch. It won’t take long for you to get used to where they are placed either. Just about my only complaint with this steering wheel is the paddle shifters, they are a little small, and they do make some noise when you use them, I wish it was more of a quiet experience with them, but when all’s said and done, it is not a deal breaker. The Force feedback is great with this, and I found it to accurately portray the road and crashes as I played around with RaceRoom on Steam on my PC. I also tested it out on Project Cars for my PS4 and it handled that pretty well too. It’s nice to have one wheel that can be used on both of my gaming devices (PC and PS4). The pedals are basic and do not provide any adjustments, and they do have some rubber feet, but I found that they did move around a bit on me on my carpet. The USB type A cable is only about 6 feet long and I do wish it was a bit longer. I did have to update the firmware when I first hooked it up and I found it on the Thrustmaster site. I did have to use my PC to install the firmware. They also send out updates every so often to make the wheel compatible with games coming out and the Thrustmaster website has a current list of what games currently work. The current list only shows about 50 or so games that are available so be sure to check it out first if you plan to use it. You can find the list under the Support section of the website and select the Racing Wheels tab then scroll to the T128. The website is a bit clumsy though. Over-all, this wheel is a good value and provides a good time racing.

This Thrustmaster T128 is my first experience with a Force Feedback wheel. Thats right...force feedback. This isn't the steering wheel you get when playing those old school arcade games. This steering wheel is made for simulation! If you blow a tire, the steering wheel will let you know. Go over rumble strips? Yep, you are going to feel it. If you are explodes...good luck to you and your occupants, but you guessed it, the steering wheel will let you know. I used this steering wheel over the last couple weeks while playing Beamng.Drive on PC. This wheel does not natively integrate, however after downloading the latest drivers from the Thrustmaster website and about an hour of navigating in-game menus, I was ready to go! As I said, this did take me about an hour, however I had to assign each button on the steering wheel (which there are a lot of them!) and I had to invert the gas/brake input to make them work properly (YouTube is your friend!). After setting up the steering wheel, it did take some trial and error adjusting steering and gas/brake characteristics to a point that I liked. But after initial setup, it was time to actually play! First impression is that the steering wheel is comfy in the hand, but it is obvious that its entry level and very plastic. I am not sure if this is a design issue or if mine was roughed up a little bit in shipping, however when I turn the steering wheel or the force feedback kicks in, it almost sounds like shaking a box of tic-tacs. Its very apparent that something is loose or broken inside the steering wheel, but it does not effect gameplay. However the input feel on the steering wheel is pretty good! Something that isnt all that impressive, however, are the pedals. They definitely feel cheap, and they do not like to stay in place. I have placed items behind the pedals to keep them in place, however unless you get something sturdy but short, the top of the pedals will hit the object when pushed and limit your travel and input. Overall, this is a very fun, but entry level driving simulator controller. Did I enjoy using it? Definitely. Do I think it needs improved? For sure. However if you want to get a taste of the driver simulator experience, this would be an acceptable starting point.

When it comes to racing games, every millisecond counts. You want anything to give you an advantage. Also, as racing games become closer and closer to real driving, you want anything that gives you the feel of actually driving the car. With the Thrustmaster T128, you get this feel and so much more. Looking at the system out of the box, it is solid enough. I wouldn’t drop it or bang it off walls, but the plastic design is solid enough for your racing needs. The system comes complete with a two pedal foot controller and racing wheel with paddle shifters. The system needs power so you will need a setup that has an outlet close by. Additionally, the wheel will need to be somewhat close to the gaming console to connect via USB. Getting started on a PlayStation system takes a bit of work. Since the T128 system is ready to go on the PC, you will need to place it in the PS mode. The instructions aren’t very clear on this, and you will likely have to look up how to do it online. It involves holding down the MODE button and waiting and then pressing other buttons while not letting go of the MODE button. It is just a little confusing. It would be so much easier if there was just a switch on the wheel to take you from one mode to the other. Fortunately, you likely will only have to do this once. One more part of the setup, you will likely need to have a racing chair or at least some type of desk to mount the wheel to. The wheel needs a few inches of clearance on the bottom as well to grab on to. Otherwise, the wheel may move around while playing. Once you get set up, you are ready to go. When you power on the wheel, it will go through a brief calibration to get everything centered. Then you are ready to go. There and basic PS type buttons on the controller as well as a direction pad. You can use this one the PS to navigate to select games or menus in game. Moving up from a controller steering to the T128 is amazing. The wheel has such a true feel. There is also rumble feedback which makes it really feel like you are in the car. The racing pedals are adequate. I felt the pedals were a little stiffer than I would have liked. Also, when I wore shoes, I would bump the side of the brake pedal when I would try to apply the brakes. I found it better just to wear socks. Also, the pedals are close together. I became move of a right-foot-gas/left-foot-brake driver. In the end though, results are what matter in racing games. In GT7, I struggled to finish off some of my Super Licenses. Once I got the wheel and started, I was getting through the race sometime on the first try. Having the wheel made a huge difference. I only wish I had had this sooner. It would have made a world of difference. I was easily able to shed second off my course times. This is what matters most. Overall, I love the Thrustmaster T128 Racing Wheel. It gives me a true racing feel and improves my overall game play. There are a couple of little things that I wish were different, but I can overlook those. The T128 definitely improves my gameplay experience. I would recommend the T128 to people looking to get a more immersive feel for their racing games.

The steering wheel provides very good feedback and resistance and is generally smooth to operate. The wheel itself is mostly hard plastic so if you’re into long races it might get uncomfortable. I’m more of a casual racer so it wasn’t that much of an issue for me. The shifter control paddles and buttons all had a decent tactile feel and seem like they will hold up well over time. With the steering wheel unit being a good experience, the pedals unfortunately were much less so. The resistance level was not too bad but there is not very much travel. The pedals are also too close together so if you have big feet or are wearing shoes it may be a problem for you. The most frustrating aspect though is the small base of the pedal unit. It is nearly impossible to press a pedal without the back side tilting up unless you are pressing firmly down with the heel of your other foot. Also, the unit moves around a lot. It wasn’t as bad on a hard floor as on a carpeted surface, but it was still hard to keep it from moving around. During any mildly excitable racing the pedals are all over the place. I game on a PC and after downloading and installing the drivers along with a reboot I was up and running. The wheel and pedal controls worked flawlessly for several different styles of racing games that I tried. My recommendation, however, would be to get the Xbox version of the T128 for gaming on PC. Many of the games on PC are geared towards Xbox style button control. I could usually figure out how to get the ones on this wheel with PS style buttons to work, however, it wasn’t always intuitive and sometimes frustrating hacking around on the buttons to navigate game menus.
