A well-made wheel for a reasonable price.

Sim racing is expensive . Finding the right wheel is agonizing. Especially with stipulations on what platforms they can be used on. And having bought two wheels prior wheels before, getting one for PS5 was yet another headache. That said, this wheel works, and more than delivers in doing the job.
Overall build quality is great, including the pedals, which can make or break any wheel. The wheel is rubberized at "10 and 2", while the top portions are have a great matte, textured finish. The pedals have excellent resistance, but lack anything to keep it in place. The steps for getting the wheel to work on PC should be streamlined. Took about an hour as the first installation did not work, but it works on PC. It does not work with Game Pass, however...(Sim racing + compatibly restrictions + money = ( -_-).
Notable mentions
1. This is a force feedback wheel. To simulate real driving, the wheel will turn on its own during play. It can be weird, but can be adjusted or turned off on PC by adjusting the "Overall Strength" forces to "0" in the Control panel. Force Feedback is meant to be part of the experience, however. For consoles, it is on a per game basis.
2. This wheel can go a full 1080° degrees. For the price, that is a nice feature.
3. For PC, switch it to PS3 mode. For console, switch it on PS4. The Playstation button directly above the Thrustmaster logo is how you activate the wheel.
Overall, or a starter wheel, this a great buy.

I was looking for wheel that could work across as many systems as possible. This one came the closest without breaking my wallet. I enjoy racing games on both my PS4 and Hyperspin arcade. I upgraded the standard 2 pedals with a 3 pedal setup and added the shifter. Together with a driving rig, I own a driving arcade that works on all my racing games. The force feedback is reliable on PS4 and the ability to play arcade classics like Crusin' USA on MAME on PC is the absolute best. The TMX wheel works on Xbox One, but I only own Forza 7 and haven't purchased that wheel yet. Love my T150!

The force feedback is terrific, super easy to use and my PS4 recognized the pedals and wheel without issue. I'd say it is a good value at this price point, seems to be sufficiently robust and has all the features needed for racing sims. The package combines to make for a very immersive sim experience. I've combined it with an economy racing stand and an old flat screen TV on a budget table.

Hello, thank you for your feedback! Using a steering wheel with a stand allows you to personalize your gaming experience, but please make sure that the stand supports the steering wheel. Sébastien from the Thrustmaster team.

The wheel itself is great. Very responsive. Works perfectly with the PSVR. The pedals are great, except they are kind of close together. They have a little cheaper plastic feel, but work fine. You might want to weight them down or mount them. When I’m driving hard, the pedals sometimes come off the ground.

I paid $200 for this racing wheel after reading many reviews about this type of controller. I like the looks of this specific brand but it has it's short comings.
It is made entirely of plastic aside from the shift paddles, which gives it a very generic feel. It looks WAY better in pictures.
The mounting clamp already broke after only four uses, it is made of plastic! I started to regret this purchase at that time.
I made due with the broken mounting system and brushed it off as clamping it down to tight, UNTILi realized that the shift paddles were starting to rust right through the paint!
This unit had not ever seen a spec of water as it only has ever been inside it's own box and my living room. Where the rust is coming from I could not even speculate.
Aside from the issues which make it nearly unusable, it happens to be a very responsive controller with plenty of force feedback. In fact, the wheel has ripped itself out of my hands a few times.
I took a leap of faith and bought this controller based on other peoples feedback. Obviously all the reviews I saw were from before anybody actually spent time with this cheap piece of overpriced trash.
Do yourself a favor and save up a little more for the Logitech then thanks me later.
Best Buy seems to sell some shady merchandise.

First off I paid $129.99 for this on sale and at that price it was a great deal. The wheel itself is 90% plastic but still feels pretty good in the hands, something I was surprised about. The force feedback, at least for project cars 2, is pretty good. It needed lots of tweaking but every game will be a little different in that dept. Its also kind of loud and a little rough, but considering the price that's to be expected, nothing even remotely game breaking (quite the opposite in fact). This is my first FF wheel but I can already tell the pedals are the weak point here, very little connection with what's on screen and zero progressive resistance, so it's a little harder to feather the throttle for instance, not horrible but not great either. There is a "pro" version that has the t3pa 3 pedal system which is supposedly worlds better, but that retails for $250. For that price I got this and a GT Omega race stand so I will deal with the pedals for now, I can always add the t3pa pedals later. Also there is more competition at the $250 and above mark but next to nothing as good as this if you catch a sale. All in all I'm very happy with the T150, I love racing games but gave up on them because I hated using a controller and I couldn't bring myself to invest in a racing set up (even a set up this "cheap"). I waited for a good sale and bit the bullet and I'm glad I did, It got me back into one of my favorite genres again. This is an entry level wheel make no mistake but for those on a budget, or are married with kids, it definitely gets the job done and brings a whole new level of immersion to racing games. Highly recommended!!!!

This is not a high-end wheel but for the price paid I think it's a very good value. The force feedback works pretty good and it seems to be compatible with almost every game I have that uses a wheel.
A few sore spots: I wish it had a few more buttons on it. Some of the games use a lot of different buttons. Also, the clamp that fastens it to the table works pretty good but I was concerned about overtightening it. A few times when I was driving rather aggressively, it moved out a bit and I had to loosen the whole thing up and seat it back against the desktop and re-tighten. The pedals slide a little on the floor too, probably depends on what kind of floor you have.
Since I purchased this I bought a Wheelstand Pro so that I can leave it mounted to the frame and then just move it out of the way when it's not needed. The clamp seems to hold on well to the wheelstand.

I bought this wheel to use with racing sims in VR using the Oculus Rift, and it works great for its intended purpose. It lacks some of the polish of the more expensive Logitech racing wheels, but gets the job done, feels sturdy, and comes with pedals. It took some tweaking to get it to work correcly with Assetto Corsa, but once configured, it gives good control, useful force feedback, and gives more immersion in the game, as well as being easier to use than a standard game pad.

The T150 packs quite a few features into a package that is just the right price for someone like me, who isn't too crazy about racing games, but still wanted to be able to play with my brother while I'm away for college. It's not too loud, however the pedals are sub-par, and I recommend upgrading them if you want a better experience.

Would give a 4.5 star rating if that was possible. Fun wheel! Force feedback is cool, but sometimes when you turn the wheel it feels like it's grinding. Wish the pedals didn't slide. Overall am very pleased!

Looks exactly like image plus it’s light weight. Never used because I purchased the wrong fit for console. I would suggest getting the stand to go with it.

This wheel is fantastic for its price. Force feedback is excellent. It makes Gran Turismo Sport a much more enjoyable experience playing it with a wheel instead of a controller. Only downside is the wheel itself is not removable to upgrade with a different wheel. The stock wheel feels fine though so it really isn't necessary. Also found out the T3PA pedals that came with the TMX Pro setup for the 1X will work with this wheel so that saved $100 not having to buy the T150 Pro. Overall an excellent wheel for the price.

I've been looking for a wheel to use on my PC for awhile. I found this one on sale at my local Best Buy for under $150 and with rewards, had a final price under $125 - a great deal for a wheel and pedals! This is my first steering wheel, so I don't have much comparison, but I've really enjoyed using it so far. The only thing I don't like is that it seems a little noisy when turning, especially when turning quickly. It self-centers pretty well. I also really liked that it came with a set of pedals. There is no clutch, but my main game (Farming Simulator) couldn't use one anyway, so it's fine for me.

Missed the point for easier control

There is no fixture to the pedal, which will move sideway when stepping on it. The wheel is adding disturbance to driving -- the turn of the wheel is not consistent: sometimes it turns the car with the expected angle, sometimes it does not, like the car is out of control. -- which does NOT making the drive easier than the game pad, totally miss the point of having a wheel, unless you are looking for adding charllenge to the game experience by adding an out-of-control wheel and a petal turning sideway after pressing. The wheel is only supported by the driving games, not just any game, i.e. NOT supported by GTA nor War Thunder nor World of Tanks. Come on -- manufacturer, how hard it is to map all the wheel control buttons to the 14∼16 game pad buttons so that it can be supported by any game-pad game?
