ive had this wheel for a year now, while using it almost every day. still works very good!

[@lorent0591]

Still works?

[@jeffrey_george]

Any update?

[@lorent0591]

@@jeffrey_george i think he died...

[@jeffrey_george]

@@lorent0591 lol. I'm so confused between t150pro and the g29. Almost similar price. What about you?

[@lorent0591]

@@jeffrey_george Lmao. me too, i actually got to a store today to try them both out and i gotta say go for the G29, the leather feels just like a real car steering wheel unlike the t150 wich is just hard plastic . then i started driving, the G29 just feels more premiun, it is 10 times more durable than the t150, and the G29 already has a clutch paddle and the shifter is way cheaper . And there are way more G29 vids out there then t150rs vids so that says enough. Do youreself a favor and go with the g29 you wont regret it. If u have any questions ask me

[@pmzk3425]

Anyone here because they are bored from coronavirus looking for a wheel to buy >>>>

[@garrettklein5833]

Yup😂

[@speedyjohn9152]

Is it compatible with Windows 10? Because I have F1 2018 and Race Room

[@pmzk3425]

Johnny's Music yes it is compatible with windows 10 but you must keep the switch on ps3 rather than ps4

[@azure-shadow9467]

Yeah

[@phillipgomes6912]

Yup waiting on my wheel looking at others lol

[@putter9198]

i use this wheel for sim-trucking and really love it... use the manual shifter and pro pedals and it's a joy to drive the big rigs with!

[@Aj85234480]

Great review as always. I especially want to compliment you guys for the final comment that you made John about the dead zone. That was the decider for me.

[@mmoradiointeractive]

My radio station is getting into IRacing and I have been on the fence with the entry level wheels. This review just nailed it down for me. Especiall as I am on a fixed budget as a veteran. Thanks for the review. Just earned a sub.

[@wheresmycloroxbottle2220]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!

[@seanwong8636]

Will you guys be making a new review testing this on the 3 platforms and the same or different games with new updates installed?

[@PratikParija]

This convinced me to get it. I was thinking about getting this as I am a semi-casual/semi-avid racing gamer as I play quite a bit of Gran Turismo. But I needed some convincing to really jump on it & this review hit it out of the park for me, going over everything I wanted to know. Thanks!

[@J-Square83]

Boy am I late to the party, but thank you for the in depth review. I've now decided to pull the trigger on this as my first racing wheel in preparation for Gran Turismo Sport next week.

[@STEELERS743]

I would have liked a price to performance comparison comment between this and the g27 also because they are about the same range and g27 is close to g29 proformance

[@billwilmington8284]

I must have not payed attention to the sim racing community because I haven't heard about this wheel until today...

[@fetB]

+Jordan Little it came out like last month or so

[@simracingtonight]

+Jordan Little You need to watch our weekly show "this week inside sim racing" or listen to the podcast ;-)

[@gazzathegamer1372]

Just brought this not had chance to try it but looking forward getting on it soon

[@NewBlast]

I just bought it off amazon and should be arriving on Monday before my birthday

[@toaddawet]

Thanks for a thorough, concise review. Really appreciate the info.

[@EluciaDeLuteIma]

Thanks. Picking one up for project cars on PC tomorrow. I have more than 200 hours on it. I've only decided to get a wheel now because of the high entry price required.

[@wavealip8059]

Me and the kid wanted to get into sim racing. I think this would be a first good step to ease into it.

[@charlesjacob6611]

How does it compare to the T300RS?

[@DiegoSpider88]

This video helped me a lot. Hugs from Brazil ✌

[@7heFloridaDude]

great channel, I've subbed now. thanks for this great review!! just got mine and it's so good!!!! love using it with GT6

[@jraybay]

Great review guys! This ultimately helped my decision to buy one :D

[@Xbot4Life]

man i used to watch this channel when i was a kid.

[@steelpulsing]

Just got mine thanks to this review! Thank ISR

[@jasondp3546]

Does it work with mudd runner game?

[@crazybaconboy8671]

Very helpful. Thank you so much for the review

[@arixcy7181]

i had a T80 red legends edition and when i finnaly got my T150 it felt like a night and day. I got the pedals and shifter and it is a realy good trucking wheel. 10/10 would recomend. My T80 mounting bracket broke off

[@Nikolai1995]

Truckers are here lol

[@WaveOne11]

awesome review guys! Thanks!

[@arkuel86]

Simple and informative rewiew. I like it!

[@stebennett3453]

Just got this wheel for £109 and it really is good for the price, loving it on project cars.

[@tgreg9542]

Best review for this wheel I’ve watched finally sold on it. I never had a sim racing wheel in my life. Now I need a stand 😂

[@Eduardo-up8tn]

what things should i check when buying it used, how's the long term use of it?

[@batman8293]

Hi guys, thanks for the review. Decided to finally take the leap and buy this and it feels great to play Project CARS on the Vive with a decent quality wheel. However, I noticed when I took my headset off that there's a massive buzzing sound coming from the device. It seems to happen after a few minutes of play and only gets louder and louder. I unplugged it for half an hour or so and the buzzing was still there, although much quieter. Tried it again this morning, started off quiet and then a slight buzz that only started to get louder. Is this normal of the wheel, or do I have some fault in my device?

[@dnmoscato92]

I've had my t150 for 2 years and the t3pa pedals and race iracing and American trucker sim everyday and it works great still. Great wheel to get you started or casual sim racer

[@notknown5421]

Does the plug only work for UK? Or can it be used in America too?

[@joelou]

Super informative! Thanks guys.

[@freaky672]

Would this be a great wheel for a new wheel user like me. im really looking to get this because i have a PS4 too and a pc. But on the other side i want the G27 because it got a clutch and a shifter. what should i get

[@giddou63]

Should I get this or Logitech G29? They are the same price where I live

[@pitkilla]

Thanks for the review. Got one for my son for Christmas. What chair is that though?

[@KennyZoobs]

Hard mount is possible with Ricmotech Hard Mount Plate made for T150

[@NyoMurdi]

In GT6 will this wheel be recognised as a T300? And if so will this effect Force Feedback or the way it functions?

[@oli4740]

I have one of these that i use with my pc, when i plug it in it calibrates like normal but there is no ffb in games or anything and when i go into the wheel settings the ffb doesnt work aswell even if i change all of the settings

[@anotherone10]

Just got a T300 GTE for £187 which is only £17 more than a T150 which is £170 on Amazon. Happy days :D

[@ttbawa1]

+anotherone10 New? Where from? Cheapest I can find in the UK is £227.

[@anotherone10]

ttbawa1 I got it new, it was from Ebay when they had a code for 20% off everything around 2 weeks ago. Also got a new TH8A shifter for £81 during that sale too.

[@Prestige_00]

lol the t150 was £110 when I ordered it

[@LVJANISLV]

+DeathPrestige it was £45 when I ordered it :D

[@Prestige_00]

+LV What a load of shit

[@ChefofWar33]

Just ordered it. Thanks guys.

[@RacingNL]

Great vide! T150 is the one I use, I like the wheel great deal for its price!

[@x1an]

What's the chair your using? It seems to have feedback!

[@andysmith2894]

good review guys,i might be tempted by this,looking to upgrade from old driving force,but finances a bit tight,this could sway me tho

[@TomVanDerPasch]

I got it the t150 in may 2017 and after a couple of months is tarted to here some sound with the ffb on 100% when i turned the wheel hard and when i turned "against" the ffb. Like it was 'skipping' the ffb gears or belt. Is there anyone who has this as well or who knows a solution??

[@JustinOhio]

500k shifts might seem like a lot but if you do the math, that only comes out to a few hundred sessions of lapping/racing. You could go through that in a year.

[@SajuGraphics]

I think that Is just guarantee

[@AlphaXY13]

That's a guarantee. My brother has a wheel that was rated 250K and he's probably shifted about 2 million times (he's had it since 2008).

[@Carson_MM]

JustinOhio bro its not just gonna fall apart after 500k

[@Carson_MM]

Tristan van Heest dude its not gonna be fine at 499999 and at 500k it just falls off do you think? Either that's the warranty or that's the estimated amount of clicks it will last, if you're gentle and nice it might last 600000 and if you're a genocidal freak it might not even last 5

[@Carson_MM]

Tristan van Heest dude I saw someone say that it'll only last like a couple hundred sessions but I don't think you click like 200 times a session plus manual is helpful when going in corners, especially in a game like the crew or forza, and even if you do break the paddle shifters it wouldn't cost more than 50$ to get it fixed

[@jhsvensktyte179]

I have a T300 running the Ricmotech adapter for my modified G27 pedals. I saw this wheel on sale at Microcenter for $160 and jumped on it without even thinking as I wanted a backup PS4 wheel and a dedicated PC racing wheel. The T150 far exceeded my expectations and is way better than the jerky G27. As they stated, it is a hybrid with partial gear and partial belt drive. In some ways I actually like the hybrid better than the pure belt T300 in DiRT Rally and DiRT 4. Rally games also are easier to race with the smaller rim T150 for fast movement and constant rapid reverse steering. However in road racing games like Project Cars and Assetto Corsa where there are less demanding steering input needs and smoother roads, the pure belt drive of the T300 gives a more realistic feel. Cresting over a hill at high speed for example, you can practically feel the wheels trying to leave the pavement. It's hard to describe the realism. I'm also not a fan of the T150's half-ass plastic wrap at the 3-9 o'clock positions with the remainder of the rim being exposed cheap plastic. It's distracting when the wheel is free-spinning in your hands. I'm looking into aftermarket real racing rim wrapping to cover the rest of the rim. Seriously Thrustmaster, it would have cost what, another $2.50 to fully coat the rim in the rubbery grip? FYI it's the same type rubber as the fully covered T300. In any event, another thing I do like about the T150 is that the button assignment mapping of this is exactly the same in PS4 games as the T300. It's even recognized as a T300 in PS4 games. When I swapped wheels on the PS4, I didn't even need to change any game assignments (I have not tried it on PC racers which is where my T300 now stays). This is the only wheel I'm aware of in the $150-$200USD market. Logitech quit making the Driving Force GT which was the only other wheel in that price range. And that is a far inferior wheel. Don't bother wasting time and money with anything less in the sub-$150 market like the T80. Not worth it.

[@timeoffun5468]

You using t150 instead of t300?

[@SF.Automotive]

how to set it up for Gran Turismo 6

[@thismeanswar5880]

I need help, im tyring to hook this up for PC on a racing game called GRID, the game doesnt seem to recognize the controls. Do i need to download any softwares for this wheel to work for pc????

[@FreedomForce100]

Great review. Thank you guys!

[@seyiri30]

How can I use T150 with Logitech pedals and gear box?!

[@xpdatabase1197]

You have to get an adapter to change the shifter and the pedals to usb.

[@sulemankhalifa241]

So Question after 500 thousand times using the shift peddles does it stop working?

[@chrisjenkins1]

Thanks great review

[@SpatialDragon]

Hey John Sabol, are you any relation to the Sabol NFL announcers? I know it is off subject. Just wondered.

[@nickyb-cn4qi]

What do I do if in project cars my steering wheel doesn’t want to turn?

[@MrBeseiden]

Great review guys. I owned a G27 and in comparison with it, how much disappointed will I be if I decide to purchase a T150, in terms of feel of the wheel since the pedals I can imagine have no possible comparison? I'm on a tight budget for wheels and this would be a great buy for me. Thanks.

[@Aprikuusi2003]

Hi there i need some help. i have t150 the same wheel but when i use it on pc it starts to get off centered to right. when i disconnect it and reconnect it gets centered back but after while starts to get off centered again what can i do?

[@atyne_mar]

ISR, if you would compare only wheel itself, i mean ffb and accuracy, how does it feel compare to g27? you said it has no deadzone so + for thrustmaster, then what about accuracy, smoothness and overall feeling, and which one is faster?

[@carscoffeeandcannabis-634]

I sell Thrustmaster products at my shop. I chose not to carry Logitech, cause at the price point, the T150 is much better. G27 is still a great option, but G29 is a rip off. Pedals aren't the best on the T150, but you can upgrade/mod them,& the Ffb on the t150 is pretty top notch considering the price

[@carscoffeeandcannabis-634]

check out gtaprosims.com if you're interested.

[@wilkeso2123]

I want to buy this wheel but i have a question,is there delay between your movement irl and in-game car?

[@select20]

Christmas is coming up and I'm wanting to upgrade my from g27. I'm looking mainly at a wheel that will be compatible between PC and XB1 and from my knowledge, that means I'm looking at the Thrustmaster TX and one of the Fanatec wheels. Suggestions?

[@mtomasd]

I just bought one, and i'm trying to play GT5 on PS3..only the commands in the wheel work...but the wheel or the pedals don't work...I need to do any setup first?

[@gamingwithswe6203]

If you buy a really expensive wheel now is it conpatable with ps5 when it comes out

[@jimmie48fly]

Hey, is there anyone that can help me out? On GT6, the Thrustmaster T150 is not listed in the steering controller list. I have tried to set it up as a T300 and T500 (both of which are listed) and it still does not work. What do I need to do?

[@techtipsuk]

Great review thanks. I know I can trust you guys.

[@OutlawFarmersRC]

+Inside Sim Racing Would this be a good replacement for my aging G25. I'm thinking of getting a PS4 in the future, but mostly PC race.

[@Xo_FoX]

How did you use it for gt6? The game cant recognize my wheel

[@naveedrauf1223]

I Have a question,Can you turn off or lower the force feedback?

[@nashialittle6274]

How do you keep the wheel from spinning when going fast and driving in dirt

[@mom-yj3vi]

Please help me. I bought a T150, I installed it and did everything, but it turned on its own and it didn't activate on the Playstation.

[@anthonynobilo3136]

If i get it i would most likely get the add on pedals but i noticed that you didn't use the clutch. Is that because the clutch isn't recognized at it doesn't come with one stock or you didn't fell like using it.

[@Alexgmx5]

The pedals are pressure sensitive? Like how much i press not i press 1 cm and full trottle

[@Tripokaridos22]

Darin T150 Pedals have foam inside like your mod in T300RS pedals, But not so stiff.

[@lukasstrom1735]

i can't steer with this wheel on race room only shift brake and accelerate do u guys know the problem?

[@sarahkennelly7255]

On farming simulater does this work with a side panel

[@V10ViperSRT]

So is this the best option for the price for PS4 if I want force feedback? How does this compare to the Thrustmaster T100?

[@euroslushie.]

As a Beginner Looking for a Steering Wheel That's Multi platfrom, Does Anyone Recommend It?

[@CheesyTornado]

how glossy is the plastic if i want to grab the plastic will my hand slip off?

[@tloughyourbro5204]

So this is the best wheel for the price correct. How is the dead zone on it? What kinda adapter do I need if I wanna connect g29 pedals and shifter?

[@MarkoVuckovic32]

Is this wheel a good budget choice if I would use it with the regular pedals (without clutch) and the paddle shifters. Th8a and t3pa are just too expensive for me

[@riverrat6105]

Do you have to use the petals or can you use the buttons for gas and brake?

[@Steve30x]

I got this wheel six months ago for €154 (I saved €45) and its FFB feels a whole lot better than my Fanatec CSR wheel FFB which cost more.But I do plan on changing it for either a TX orT300 GTE in september. I am using a basherboard CPX with this and my Fanatec CSR elite pedals which is a huge upgrade to the pedals that came with the T150

[@akospal6708]

Is there any kind of gain if i can get my hands on a t300rs pedal over the stock wich comes with the t150? (obviously if i can get it for much less than a t3pa)

[@manoli1406]

Does the t150 needs a external power supply to play in the PS4, us version, if yes how can I purchase one

[@drive-the-roads]

hi, can you do a video how to setup on the pc with the t3pa pedals? i got the 150 today but it doesn't work! thank you ExtreemVirtualDriver GT The Netherlands

[@bg11211]

What type of computer

[@yvceo6187]

Hey, I broke the twist bolt for the clamp, I was just wonder where I can get that one piece, I need the clamp and the twist to tighten it

[@kyrslowly4253]

Etsy had a few there

[@somethingcreative2795]

what pedals or accessory shifters are compatible with it?

[@TeoJunHao]

Was satisfied with my T150 Pro, no regret with it

[@pianocovers119]

is it just the same?

[@sheldonneville709]

i know this video is old, but i was wondering if i could use this wheel with a pair of fanatec v3's? i know that seems weird but i just bought the v3 pedals only and had a certain budget. all im gonna need is the wheel only. it should work if they're both connected independently via usb right?

[@pt_trainer9244]

Just ordered mine :)

[@anthonymarun1687]

Def getting this wheel. Will let people know how it works in 2022 for beginners to sim racing(such as me).

[@nintendude794]

Sweet!

[@Charlie-qd8zi]

Update?

[@high_gaming2514]

It still working and hasn’t been damaged as I have taken care of it. I am looking to get a new wheel tho as after time you want one that looks more realistic. Just my opinion tho. Everything is good with my setup right now tho.

[@MadelnMachines]

What are the T150 pro pedals like? Is that a better combo than the G29?

[@superjavi9820]

Feels like my 95 civic without power steering and vibration when going off-road is insane lol how do I turn it down

[@flyingdutchman3237]

Is it compatibele with mac os? Because I play ets2 and fs17 on my mac.

[@gfaj4076]

It says in the buying website that its only ps3 and ps4 how can it get connected to pc?

[@user-rr9nn7ht7d]

what screws should I use to hard mount the pedals?

[@notknown5421]

I’ve seen most of the reviews for this and they say it has plugs only for the UK.. can anyone confirm that you can use it in the USA too?

[@stijnbrandsen8817]

How much better it the t300 than the t150? Or is the biggest difference the pedals and that the t300 has more metal? What is the difference in force feedback?

[@Lazerkid14]

Should I get a T150, TH8A & T3PA or a G29 with the force shifter? I can get the G29 and shifter combination much cheaper than thrustmaster's offerings but I keep seeing bad reviews about it.

[@theichytype]

what are the difference between this and tmx? if they're essentially the same besides platforms, how come tmx only has 900 degree?

[@Prof.Mokster57]

cos thrustmaster decides to be a bitch to xbox one owners. or xbox one racing games doenst need that 1080 dor? i'm not sure man personally i did rather have 900 dor wheel than 1080 but its always good to have more =). Besides i think u shuld get a tmx if u are only going 2 race on pc. The t150 is really good

[@LegoNemo10]

Andy Lee most Xbox one games only support 900 degrees, except FH3 that is the only one I know of that has 1080 support

[@iddekinge]

I'm looking for an upgrade from a used TM F430 FFB wheel. This or G27 ? (excluding the price)

[@bluexephos2255]

T150 because of PS4 support

[@sysakPL]

Great wheel. Got it cheaply on sale at one of British electronics retailers, and was going to put it on ebay, but when i gave it a try it was so much better than the Logi Driving Force GT and Microsoft Sidewinder FF i used to own before, which i found disappointing at the time. There is very little (if any at all) dead zone on centre and the FF feels really good. There are no major downsides to it, it just works really well and predictably. If i was to do some knitpicking, the FF motion feels a bit notchy (not smooth) and the pedals could be better and i'd appreciate if the whole wheel was "leather" or rubber wrapped, but it's still perfectly fine and i guess thats why the higher end models exist. :)
