Thrustmaster T80 Racing Wheel PS4/PC

Purchased this wheel used with Amazon warehouse. It was labeled like new, and they were right, no signs of use at all not a scratch not even on the pedals. So I guess I lucked out. Works right out of the box on my PS3. Purchased this for my PS3 while planning to purchase a PS4 in the near future, it's nice with no need to update my wheel once I make the switch. I've done my research with all the available wheels in the market at the moment. For me, at $69, this was the most practical and sensible option compare to the much more expensive options. I was willing to sacrifice a clutch pedal, H shifter and FFB to save a hundred bucks or so. Especially since I'm not even sure this is something I would invest time on. The wheel itself is very nicely built. Few creaks here and there being made out of plastic. The wheel itself is pretty small, got used to it after a while though so it doesn't bother me as much. Pedals offer sufficient resistance. Shifters give off a satisfying "click". Played it on GT5 and GT6 so far, sensitivity is fine after a few googling to get everything set up. Right now, I have it mounted on the folding table, but I plan on constructing a dedicated stand for it. Really need one especially for the pedals which keeps on slipping even on carpet. I find the bungee cord system to offer enough resistance, but definitely no where near what a FFB would offer as far as realism is concerned. Overall, a good purchase at $69 with free shipping. If I invest more time in sim racing, will definitely upgrade to perhaps a T150. And it wouldn't hurt too much to part with this one. But if you're on the fence dishing out any money, this T80 is a good way to try out racing wheels.

My 12 year old son loves it. It worked perfectly with his "Need For Speed" game on PS4 once we changed the wheel to controller mode (as opposed to wheel mode). This is *not* an issue with the wheel, it depends on the *game*'s ability to recognize a true wheel controller. Wheels have much finer controls. Read the manual on the Thrustmaster website for full info, but to save folks trouble, you can toggle wheel/controller mode by: 1) HOLDing the PS button on the while WHILE you plug the USB into the console 2) let go of the PS button on the wheel 3) press and release the PS button once again. You'll know you're in controller mode if the led blinks intermittently.

BLUF: I know this isnt what a cost conscious consumer wants to hear but..... Just get the G27. Just do it. Stop wasting time and $80 for the T80. Either you can pay $240 for a G27 of you can pay $320 for the G27 after you have purchased the T80 against my suggestions. Cant afford a G27? Then you cant afford to waste $80 on the T80. Your choice.Pros: There isnt a lower priced halfway capable racing wheel on the market. Its universally recognized in any game.... blah, blah, blah.Cons: This thing is seriously chintzy. I busted the wheel out and tested it in MAME and a few other PC games. Then I put it away after making sure it worked. I picked up a G27 (for me of course) and relegated the T80 to player 2 duties. Ok. Not lying here. After getting the wheels plugged in I started working on 2 player split screen games for my arcade. Let me stress: I'M NOT LYING!!! The gas pedal stopped working. I hadnt even completed ONE LAP in any game. The gas pedal stopped working. No worries (I guess) because the gas pedal is mapped to a button on the wheel. Set everything up and ensured my two player games were in fact 2 player games. I put the wheels away. Fast forward 2 weeks. Now its time to map controls and fine tune the arcade cab. Nope. The T80 was no longer recognized in most of the games it had worked in just 2 weeks earlier. Insult to injury: the connector that attaches the pedal system to the wheel no longer stays put. It requires something to keep it put. I dont know what to say. I havent even really used the damned thing. The G27? Still worked.Additional notes: I am pretty much done setting up my arcade cab. All the systems. All the hyperspin wheels. All the 2 player local coop split screen PC racing games. Ipac 2 player arcade joystick set up. 2 gamepads. 2 light guns. Now 2 wheels. I have learned ALOT. I have been hopeful. I have then been disappointed. Then I spent hours in the forums and on Youtube making things work where they can work. I have learned alot.Trust me: Just get the G27. Dont take a chance thinking the forums and Youtube will save you when it comes to the T80.

I've owned a half-dozen steering wheel controllers for various platforms and hands-down this is the best one I've ever driven. The wheel has the perfect amount of action without feeling too loose or stiff. The pedals are very responsive; importantly and significantly in this price point, they're also independent, so you can do fancy stunts that require you to accelerate and brake at the same time! I've put almost 100 hours on this bad boy since December and it hasn't given me an iota of trouble.

This wheel is okay. I mean you get what you pay for, if you want a a realistic force feedback wheel save up for something better. If you just want a casual wheel to hold you over until you can afford the more expensive ones. I like the wheel but the reason i gave it three stars is, it claims to work for ps3 and ps4. This as far as i can tell is false it does not work on any of my games on ps3. But on my ps4 it works with The Crew and Driveclub. Quality wise its okay, obviously its plastic. The paddle shifters are nice and responsive. Often when steering i feel the wheel understeers and when you try to correct it 7 out of 10 times you will overcorrect and spin. Overall its worthy of its $100 dollar price tag

Update***if you hold down the PS button and unplug the cord and replug it while keeping the PS button pressed the red light will change to orange and work with more games. To switch it back to red (other games)you just repeat these steps to switch it back. Some work on orange, some on red. Be patient, sometimes it will just blink orange but retry and it will work.Original:Works great but not as many game as I thought support the wheel. My 3 year olds pick up the concept quickly. Good feel on the steering and pedals
