Amazon has this entry level force feedback wheel for the lowest price it has ever been. This is a great deal if you are on the fence about trying out a force feedback wheel. Of course it will feel cheap compared to every other force feedback wheel, but it beats by miles the linear spring ones that do not have force feedback. If you have never tried one out in the past, this will feel amazing and it makes racing games way more immersive. Usually the HORI (non force feedback) wheels go for around $80-$100, so this is an incredible deal in my opinion for a force feedback wheel. Once again, note that this is an entry level force feedback wheel. You should not even compare it to those that cost $500+ (most of them).

GameStop also has it for the same price.

Just a word of caution regarding the force feedback. The G920 and this one should never feel like one is stronger than the other. If you feel that this TMX is stronger, it is because you are clipping the force feedback and overworking the wheel and reducing its lifespan. What is clipping? Clipping is basically the point where you reach the maximum force feedback that the wheel can interpret from the game before all future force feedback data is lost. Basically, if you are taking a turn, you want the force feedback of your wheel to feel the greatest when the car/tires are experiencing the greatest forces in game. For clipping wheels, the maximum force feedback will be reached quite early in the turn, meaning that literally everything else (let's say you go over a kerb hitting the apex) will feel the same as the clipping point. This in turn means not only that your wheel is overworking, but also that you are losing wheel sensitivity and won't be able to react to what is actually happening at the racing surface. You can begin to lose traction and you will not realize it since it will feel exactly the same as if you were simply braking or your normal turn. This is something that usually gets ignored when configuring a wheel for a game and it is definitely a must if you want to maximize the lifespan of your wheel and have the most authentic experience in games.

On the opposite, if you feel one is weaker than the other, it could be that one is configured incorrectly in the game to have less force feedback, meaning you never reach the clipping point and all data values are now reduced to a tinnier portion of the capability range of the wheel. That will cause you to not feel enough what is going on with the car, similar to clipping, but instead of your wheel overpowering all future data, it is underpowered now and it will feel like no matter what happens, the wheel feels featherlike.

Basically, make sure you calibrate for clipping so that the maximum force feedback you get from the wheel occurs when your car is experiencing the highest Gs under normal driving conditions. (obviously it will clip if you are crashing into a wall, just like in real life, lol).

The PS4/PS5/PC version T150 is the same price right now aswell. T150 also has 1080 Degree Rotation vs the 900 this offers. Great if you only play PC and PS5/PS4. I'd rather get that for when Gran Turismo 7 comes out. https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmast...th=1&psc=1

Great deal. Definitely cheapest ever. Got this few months ago at regular 199 price and it's worth it for the casual sim racer. Great force feedback (I read it's stronger than Logitech's comparable product). Pedals can be upgraded (once in stock again) if needed.

I've been reading reviews and they both have pros and cons. G920 is supposed to have a more premium feel to it but the steering wheel is gear versus the hybrid gear/belt on the Thrustmaster. Thrustmaster can also be upgraded in the long run.

I initially ordered the G920 as a bday gift for a friend, but I want him to have the option to upgrade / add on in the future if he wants.

If you can afford the G920 or even the G923 go for it. Otherwise, this is an incredible deal. I have the 920 and I can tell you I rarely use the clutch since most modern cars have a sequential gearbox. Even the Next Gen NASCAR cars will be sequential.

I would say shell out the extra for the g920. The feel on this is gonna be really cheap, it does use belt drive for the ff which is stronger than the g920. But, it also makes it less reliable you can just search thrustmaster wheel issues. Gears drive is more reliable not as strong FFB its a trade off. I have a T300RS with the pro pedals and th8a shifter it was good before the wheel crapped out.
