Thrustmaster F1 Racing Wheel (compatible w/ PS5, PS5 Pro, PS4, XBOX Series X/S, One, PC)

I mainly bought this because I like having lots of buttons. This thing does not disappoint in that area. I've used it regularly for about 8 months and it seems to be holding up well. Everything works very precisely. I only use this one wheel, so I have not swapped it out with others with the TX base... no idea about the viability or durability of that feature.All of the dial-type switches that you see in the picture that are in the "hub" part of the wheel are just fakes/decals. Which is a little cheesy and unfortunate, IMO. I'm a real tifosi, so I appreciate the Ferrari logo, but I think this thing would look less like a toy without the fake switches.The wheel is also, like every other game controller I've ever come across, smaller scale than real life.All in all, if you have this base and need a controller with lots of buttons, I think this is your only option. It works great for me, though and ironically is one of the less expensive wheels for this base.

This is a great wheel. The paddles are metal and give a satisfying click. The switches and buttons are nicely located and easy to reach with your thumbs. It's got rubberized grips and a good weight to it. Yes, it's a bummer that the dial switches are fake and the stickers around them are, well, just stickers. But for the price, this wheel is still very pretty and feels great in your hands. When mine's not mounted on my wheel base, I display it on a shelf because it's a great piece of art as well.I've got mine mounted on a Thrustmaster T500rs base. I predominantly play F1 and Project CARS on PS4. I Own multiple rims for my T500rs and this is my go-to for most open wheel racing. It works very well with the games I play and transmits the T500's force feedback very nicely. In fact I think it's lighter than all the other Thrustmaster rims so you definitely feel the most FFB with this.This wheel has enough buttons to give console players all the functionally they can get out of a wheel. There are enough buttons to correspond with all the buttons on PS4/XB1 controllers. PC racers might find that the fake dial switches hinder their experience with this wheel though depending on how many buttons they need to assign.For casual and even semi serious sim racers, this wheel offers plenty and will do the job nicely for you. Hardcore sim racers might find this wheel to be more of a toy though and opt for something more realistic. But the price jump between this wheel and a more realistic F1 style wheel is quite steep.

I have owned this wheel for over 3 years and the Thrustmaster-VG-Open-Wheel for 2 years. This racing wheel does not look as good a the Thrustmaster F1 racing wheel but its is sturdier and less play and more realistic that the TM VG Open wheel. This wheel is more precise by far that the TM VG open wheel. There is an adherent turn lag in the overrated TM VG Open Wheel that is obsolete in this showy wheel.I have several wheel s but this one stays in my servo.You need this wheel

Just recently picked this up (12, 2020) and so far its been a good wheel. Kinda nice to have a Formula 1 replica wheel for racing in Formula One games.Overall I like this wheel. Its a nice change of pace from the standard I've been using over the last 4 years. Grip feels good and not sticky like I've seen in a lot of reviews. The buttons do require quite a push unlike the buttons on the standard wheel, so its taken some getting used to.A couple of things I don't like about this wheel that I think Thrustmaster could have been more keen on. The two rotary knobs, left and right take multiple turns to register one click on the ps4. This makes using them rather moot to change things like brake bias, diff locks, and fuel on the fly in the game F1 2020. So for me they're just there and not really usable.I'm also not a fan of the three switches at the bottom center of the wheel. I would have preferred buttons. The switches just feel as though they could easily break if you're not careful. The center switch is used as your, 'PS', button, and the other two are your, 'options'. If the center switch ever goes out, I'll effectively have no way of turning on the wheel for the ps4 to recognize as a controller.That being said I'm certainly enjoying the wheel for what it is. Should that center switch ever go out at least I still have my standard wheel to hook back up to the t300 servo.

Uses it every day

This is a must have if you play any f1 style of games as it puts all of the controls right at your finger tips. I have played f1 2017 with both a farrari spider (replica wheel that came with my base) and then this wheel the difference is vary clearly night and day for me preferring this wheel. The build quality is what you would expect from thrustmaster (it is durable plastic with minimal metal parts). I will never be able to play any f1 game with my old steering wheel but that is fine with me cuz I love this wheel and it dose look vary nice on my base. If you have a thrustmaster wheel base and having fun with any f1 game this is a must have.

The wheel feels great. Feedback is even better through this addon wheel than the one that came with the Thrustmaster T300. (YES! IT WORKS WITH THAT BASE!)As noted in other reviews, the 5 center dials are purely cosmetic. They are actually molded plastic, part of the wheel casing and do not turn at all.There are PLENTY of other controls that give you exactly what you want, where you want it. For instance, the two thumb wheels are positioned within easy reach to make adjustments to brake balance, fuel mixture, etc., while racing. One of the best purchases I have made.
