Great "Affordable" Force Feedback Wheel
I have previously owned a non-force feedback wheel: Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider. It was a great wheel for the price, but my driving lacked precision. Thus, I decided to upgrade to Thrustmaster TMX. Trust me, the TMX wheel is a huge step forward in the world of sim racing for those of you coming from non-force feedback wheels like I did. First of all, your driving will become more precise because you actually feel the track (or the front tires). Moreover, the adjustable rotation of the wheel (270 - 900 degrees) helps to adjust to different racing games. It is also PC and Xbox One compatible, which is a huge plus too.Of course, a $200 price tag could be scary, but the wheel is very well built and driving with a force feedback is a completely new experience. In my opinion, this wheel is great, but I wish its surface was fully covered in rubber/leather just like on the sides. In addition, I have heard that a lot of people are not fond of the standard pedals. In fact, the same pedals come with the Spider wheel. In this case, you can upgrade to the new pedals and a shifter/stick from the same brand if you wish. Nevertheless, I believe that Thrustmaster TMX is worth the $200 because every other force feedback wheel is much more expensive.I have already tested this wheel on Xbox One: F1 2017, Dirt 4, Forza Motorsport 5, Forza Horizon 3. Unfortunately, this wheel is not compatible with all racing/driving titles. For example, it was not recognized by Need for Speed 2015 or GTA V (not sure why I wanted to test it on GTA).I have also tried it on ETS 2 and it works great.Overall, I highly recommend this wheel for anyone looking for a force feedback wheel for an "affordable" price.

Read it all.
Just want to start with Im not disapointed with my decision to buy this particular sim wheel. What im disapointed about is the lack of honest straight forward descriptions. So the weel itself is plastic or at least a plastic housing. Ok yeah it is just a toy. Wait a toy that if i place my hand wrong the force feed back could injure me? With plastic. So id say at least 98% of these sim racing wheels say there metal of somekind you know like a real car stearing wheel. Um the paddle shifters feel like there bending just from use. not to be cofused with overuse. The plastic break and gas pedals, (no clutch?) Actually feel really good theres no real sence of presure but there is restance so its not to bad but you cant really use one foot cause the adjustable plates on the pedals are wierdly big. Its almost like they had no idea what they where doing. The base of the wheel feels real sturdy and has a fair amount of weight to it. I guess its dual band and mabye a gear for the stearing and force feed back. It feels not at all like what i thought. In fact i kinda think i got a defective one. I mean it works as far as i can tell, but feals dry and like a out of aline gear. Kinda like half working power stearing. So this is probably the most important bit. Button maping? Yeah well no. Only if the game doses it in there options. As far as Assetto Corsa goes kinda as long as you use the buttons they allow but dont tell you. Its trial and error. So your left with 4 buttons that are double duty for the options menu and shifting up down. Why why why. This is only being used on xbox one s. Even though i hooked it up to my laptop to see the setting and was able to kinda get it to work good until i unpluged it from comp cause the save files dont go from comp to xbox. Or something like that. Blah... Problem is i cant fine tune it and i cant remap the buttons. For $299.99 you would think you would get these features since a 40$ controller can. Now you can set levals of options like ffb, cerb ffb, road ffb, (as far as asseto corsa) and none of witch really help you with a discription so you have to look it up on you tube, then it wont be for your exact wheel+game so youll round up/ down the values and hope for the best. If you have a family or roommates and you need to use headphones? You have to plug in to your controller and set it to not turn off. O wait i have yet to find this setting. so every few minuts itll shut off and lag your game. Unless you listen to music at same time you race. Oh and and probably the worst is there is secret" or hiden" settings. Now to me theses should be praised not hidden. You can download this info from thrustmaster. How to work the menu that chnges on the fly: like the degrees for the stearing. 270, 360, 6??, and 900 and the other is a sensativity setting. default, low, mostly low, and really superlow. Let me end this by saying all in all if you can get it right it plays really good and i would suggest this for a sim driver that is new to wheels but not new to sim games. Oh i almost forgot. The add ons, a choice of 2 triple pedal set ups with a forth as long as you can get the adapter plug. A shifter again same as pedals. And a handbreak except that one a mod and its going to be expensive. Not unlike the other 2 and the usb hub for conections cauae this wheel dosent have enough holes to plug these add ons in. And they actually cost more then the wheel peddle combo i paid for. So there it is in my words a proper discription.

Bad pedal springs, bad design for the clamp, no recommend for entry level wheel, horrible durablility and integrity.
***UPDATE*** This is an update to the Thrustmaster TMX wheel. This is definitely an economy, entry level wheel. This really needs to be taken into consideration. This wheel/pedal set will last you up to 6 months, maybe a year. I bought the T3P-A pro pedals, which are awesome btw, to replace the very cheap plastic pedals that failed due to the problem described below. However, shortly after receiving the TH8A shifter and the new pedals, the clamp for the base snapped off completely. The small threaded cylinder that the tightening peg screws into on the base of the TMX Wheel completely snapped off. I can assure you that I did not at all over tighten this screw. I am still overall impressed with the other items I purchased. I do believe I will get a better base and wheel combo here eventually. However Thrustmaster, you need some better Q and A with your TX/TMX Series of wheels. This is way to common of a problem for you as a company to dismiss this as a "user error/ you guys are tightening the screw down too much" excuse. Even for entry level, this is an expensive piece of hardware, I expect a little better.So, I me had this for less than 4 months now, and I use this moderately as I work full time and don't have time to race all the time. So I load up Project Cars on my Xbox One, and I start up a race(shifter-kart 125cc series) and upon coming around the third turn, and pressing on the throttle, I hear and feel a snap. I take my foot of the throttle and the throttle is now DEAD to the floor. I can lift it up but it will not stay up. It just drops back down, dead, limp...Upon further inspection I found the spring had snapped that provides the resistance in the throttle(see pic). I am not happy, the slightest bit. I have barely used the TMX since purchased new, through Amazon. I just ordered the TH8A shifter, and I planned on ordering the T3PA-Pro pedals with in the next month. But I am honestly considering returning the shifter, and not ordering the pedals. I do hope they can resolve this issue for me. Until then, I can only rate 3 stars.As far as the wheel itself, Spot on. I am very pleased eith the handling and feel of the FFB, and the 900° rotation. The respond for the shifter pedals are fantastic and I would highly recommend this for a beginner setup, but be warned, the pedal spring has broken on me, under light to moderate use, and only after less than 4 months. Works great with Xbox, using a powered USB 3.0 block. I use it for iRacing and Race Room Experience as well for my custom built PC, fantastic, until it broke.What sucks now, is my shifter arrives tomorrow, and I can't enjoy it.
