Product Description:
- Official Racing Simulator for Xbox One and Windows. 900 Degree Force Feedback racing wheel. Realistic 11"/28 cm wheel. Large pedal set included. With its official embedded software, this racing wheel is automatically recognized by the Xbox One console and is compatible with the console's menus. PC compatibility (Windows 10/8/7/Vista) is ensured thanks to the THRUSTMASTER drivers available for download from our website. The drive system with adjustable Force Feedback lets you feel every detail while you're racing (the road or track's relief, loss of tire grip, braking, bumps and impacts, and more). The rotation angle is adjustable from 270 to 900 degrees. A mixed belt-pulley and gears system is smoother, more fluid and less noisy than helical gears, with a metal ball-bearing axle for enhanced sturdiness. The THRUSTMASTER TMX comes along side some very impressive technical specs: the end result is a high-performance wheel that is both solidly-built and precise, delivering unrivaled flexibility for gamers of all levels - from beginners to experienced racers - and on all types of racing circuits.

It's been awhile since I used the Logitech and the Thrustmaster so I'm not going to remember the little details on why the Logitech is bad. But it centers around how the force feedback motor works. When you're put in a semi-rough environment like the offroading in Dirt or Forza Horizon, the feedback is kind of slow and doesn't feel right at all. You're going to easily lose control even when the conditions aren't crazy hard. Again, it's been too long so it's hard to think of very specific examples of how the wheel feels in specific situations. But I do remember the vibes. And I do remember that the Thrustmaster felt much better and allowed me to drive much faster and much more aggressively.

So probably a decent deal.
No, I think he's looking for the other kind of comments, comments about the brand nameā¦

edit: sorry I didn't realize this is perhaps a better wheel than the logitechs. Still might be good advice if you are pinching pennies.
As someone who grew up driving stick and still does sometimes, having a set without a clutch would only be a stopgap
The Thrustmaster won't feel super premium. But it feels good in racing games and feels fairly precise.
Now for people new to wheels, you do have to tweak them. You have to tweak them for every game. Settings for Forza Horizon won't match settings for Dirt. Just spend half hour, hour getting the wheel to feel correct. If you're not of driving age yet, then it'll be harder to know but the rest of us, you know how steering is supposed to feel.
They didn't even have them displayed, I just saw a yellow clearance sign at the electronic dept.
If you ever try a good direct drive wheel like the Logitech G Pro, the cheaper options like this will all feel like toys. Very different price point, but if it's something you enjoy I recommend going direct drive.
