Review on 🏎️ Thrustmaster T150 Pro Racing Wheel: PS4/PS3 and PC Compatibility for PS5 Games by Brian Rogel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great performance at a great price

Note. I bought a used set for 180€. I'm new to racing and after buying Gran Turismo 5 for a few dollars I wanted to try my hand at sim racing. I connected everything to my PS3 and everything worked fantastic. Just keep in mind that some older GTs require you to start racing and depress the brake/accelerator pedal to the max to activate the full range of motion. The force feedback is great but the conical brake mod on the pedals didn't feel as good as I was hoping, I wish it was a little softer but I understand this change could have introduced some durability issues so I will don't go too far complaining about it. The T150 supports Gran Turismo Sport on PS4 just fine (as far as I can tell) and I'm enjoying going through driving school, time lapse and gradually getting good enough to want to compete in online events with other players. On a PC running Assetto Corsa, the linking of the throttle, brake pedals and shifters works fine, but the D-Pad buttons cause problems. You'll need to do a workaround using a third-party program like Joy2Key to bind the D-Pad buttons to the keyboard so the game can read the input. This is a common problem in niche genres like racing sims, where developers are usually small and can't support EVERY wheel. So if you are looking for a plug and play experience on PC. EVERY game is different, so check what type of wheel support the game has before you buy. Also remember to put this wheel in PS3 MODE if you use it on PC. This is the manufacturer's recommendation. Overall I'm very happy with this setup. It can be modified if I want to upgrade to a load cell brake in the future and fits on my desk where I keep my PC and consoles in a small area. The gear/belt system on this model doesn't make the rattling noise of the Logitech G27/29, which is nice. If you're looking for your first bike and pedals this is a good place to start, and if you're racing then you usually only have yourself to blame for mistakes. (Last tip: if you don't have a mock chair like me, use those cheap non-slip kitchen mats to keep your pedals from moving.)

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
