The reviews are pretty terrible for this product. The three biggest issues are the overall build quality with lots of plastic, how lightweight the pedals are which can cause them to easily tip while braking, and that Thrustmaster's support is basically nonexistent. The last is the most telling. Make sure that you check out the reviews on their other steering wheels and you'll see a very disturbing pattern.

After reading all the reviews on Amazon, I've decided to not only give this racing wheel a pass, but everything that Thrustmaster makes until I see that they've decided to start taking customer service seriously again.

Everybody knows that amazon reviews are worthless and you should promptly ignore them. If you go to sim racing websites and sim youtube channels you'll find that they usually say it's a really good wheel for the price... and that's them assuming it's full price. At a sizeable discount like this it's a no-brainer to get. The only real issue is anyone who wanted one just bought the tmx (no pro) last week and got stuck with the crappy pedals.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll wait for the next wheel to come out.

5-star reviews on Amazon are usually sham reviews. I go straight to the 1-star to 3-star reviews to learn if there are real problems with the product. Of course you instantly discount all of the bad reviews because of delivery problems.

No different than the G29 if that's the case.

I lost interest when I read "900 degree force feedback system"...

I can't tell if I'm going to burn my hands to a crisp, or spin the wheel endlessly trying to make a turn.
