Thrustmaster TMX Racing Wheel with force feedback and racing pedals (Compatible with XBOX Series X/S, One, PC)

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.

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.

So Ive been wanting to get a racing wheel to play all of my car games and honestly, this might be the best feeling starter racing wheel. Its very easy to install and easy to take off and tuck away for later use. When first testing it out in forza I was instantly impressed by the force feedback. Obviously it wasnt perfect out of the box, it needed some settings tweaks but that wasnt hard to do at all. The only two complaints I would have wouldnt be about the wheel itself, but the pedals. For the price I obviously wasnt expecting very high quality. The pedals are made out of plastic that easily tips over if you dont use both feet to use the accelerator and brakes. The other thing about the pedals is that they are very creaky. it didnt start out this way but maybe a day or two after use i started to hear the noises coming from them. I dont think that this will be a big issue because I am sure WD-40 could get rid of the noise. Overall an extremely good starter racing wheel.

Great product and price, thanks!

I only have experience with one other driving wheel, but it wasn't force feedback. This one gives you a much more realistic experience. It does a good job with Forza 6. You can feel the rumble strips, or when you drop a wheel off the track, and even when a tire breaks traction. Its very difficult at first, but after a while you can really push the cars to their limits. I tried the shift paddles once. They feel great. A very positive engagement when shifting. It is stressful to race with the manual tranny though. The only thing I can complain about(and this may be the case with even the best wheels....not sure) is that when driving perfectly straight, the wheel has about 1/4" of slop. You can turn ever so slightly and feel the motors engage the feedback. It gives the feeling of a loose pitman or idler arm. I'm still giving it 5 stars, because I think that's unavoidable. The finish is plastic. That is the number one complaint I read about, but I'm happy with it. If you don't like it, buy a sew on leather steering wheel wrap from walmart and do it yourself. Overall this was well worth the money if you think you be using it often. Also, I made my own stand to hold the wheel and pedals out of an old computer desk and aluminum angle. You'll need something to hard mount them too. You don't want the pedals sliding away from you or the wheel slipping off the table when you turn. It does clamp on to a table well.

***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.

10 years late on this review but its still being used and abused and works like it just came out of the box. Only issue is it is a belt drive and i am getting slipping but thats also after 10 years of hard usage... still love it though!! It has a really good use for if you are just getting into wheels and sim hardware. For the price point. Absolutely amazing starter product

I bought this as a replacement to my Logitech G27, which broke after many years of use. I want to outline some pros and cons of this wheel as well as make some comparisons to the G27. The games that I mostly play using the wheel are rFactor 2 and Asetto Corsa on a Windows 10 PC. Pros • The overall performance of the wheel including control, FFB, responsiveness, and feel are excellent and completely on par with the G27 • I really like the button layout (10 buttons excluding shifters). I actually prefer this to the G27 • The paddle shifter feel is very nice. They are much nicer to the touch than the ones on the G27 and give a much more satisfying click when shifting Cons • My biggest gripe is the pedal set. It’s very light and flimsy; it slides around on the carpet with very little effort, and tends to tip over when pressing the brake pedal, making it essentially unusable. The set that came with the G27 is above and beyond this crappy thing in terms of quality. I will probably have to get different, more expensive set from Thrustmaster separately • The steering wheel itself is made out of plastic with rubber material on 10 and 2 positions. While it’s not terrible, it definitely doesn’t have that solid metal feel that the G27 had. • I am not a big fan of the clamping mechanism that holds the wheel down on a desk. It sticks out a bit on the bottom and every once in a while I scrape my knee on it. The G27 had a much more elegant solution of putting 2 clamps on top. Overall, this is a pretty decent alternative to Logitech that I would generally recommend it with some reservations. I understand that for $100 less than the new G29, some reduction in quality is to be expected and I fully accept the lack of metal and leather wrapping on the wheel and a few other shortcomings. However, building a slightly heftier and sturdier pedal set would not have cost that much and I feel that it was a major oversight by Thrustmaster.

Great wheel. It gives Amazing experience in racing games. Also you can use this wheel in GTA 5 pc game using mods.

Excelente producto más sercano a lo real

I've had the TMX for a few weeks now and am quite pleased, using it with Forza 6 and Project Cars. I upgraded from the 458 Spider wheel so don't have any direct comparison to other Thrustmaster FFB wheels. The build quality is quite good, although it's plastic with rubber grips vs. the leather and metal of other wheels. I compared it side-by-side to my son's old Logitech G27 and, while the build quality of the G27 is better, the feel is quite similar as far as smoothness of operation. The pedals are the exact same pedals that ship with the lower priced non-FFB 458 Spider wheel. They're adequate - smooth feel, progressive resistance on the brake, and adjustable angle on the pedals themselves. The knock against them is that the base is not heavy at all and must be anchored somehow to prevent sliding. I attached mine to my home-made rig with screws so no I have no movement issues. The wheel clamp is again the same as the lower priced 458 Spider. It works like it should - nothing else to say. When connected to the XBox the wheel does it's calibration thing and is recognized without issue by the console. It does not show up under "Devices" in the XBox settings menu but functions properly regardless. Force feedback is quite strong and defaults to 100 in Forza. I turned this down to 75 and it's much more manageable for me. Not sure how the FFB compares to a TX, but I assume it's similar. I believe the TX has a fan but I haven't seen nor heard one on the TMX. I've also read that the TX has a "sensitivity" setting; the TMX does not. Rotation defaulted to 540 in Forza and I played around with this, from 180 to 900. The wheel responded as expected, and I left it at 540 because it felt right for me. I haven't played long enough yet to notice any issues like the "pull left" problem that TX owners report in Forza. I also tried both Simulation and Normal steering settings in Forza and the wheel definitely performs better under the Normal settings. Overall, at this early stage, I'm impressed and pleased. The wheel feels good in my hands, the shifters provide a good "click" and the pedals are adequate. The entire wheel assembly feels solid, not "toy-like" as per the 458 Spider. The price ($269CDN) hits the sweet spot for me because I couldn't spend $500 or more on a wheel. I've also just upgraded to the Thrusmaster T3PA pedals which are a huge improvement over the stock pedals that come with the TMX, but that's for another review. Thrustmaster definitely put money into the wheel, not the pedals. I highly recommend this wheel. At this price it can't be beat.

I have purchased this product last year, after a lot of deliberation and research on the internet. I was previously using Thrustmaster Ferrari challenge, which is a very basic wheel without any force feedback. I can say after using this wheel for about an year, that it is worth every penny. It has enhanced the gaming experience, and the force feedback is comparable with the high end wheels like Logitech G29. I have played F1 2016, Forza Motorsport 6, Project CARS on Xbox One. It integrates seamlessly to Xbox One. Just plug and play. Connect to PC is also straightforward. You just need to install a driver from the Thrustmaster website. I have played Euro Truck Simulator 2 on PC, where It's 900 degree wheel rotation is very helpful. The pedals could be better, but you can live with them. Pedals can be mounted using screws on driving cockpit. They have standard screw threads. But the wheel is table mount only. I have managed to mount using it on a driving cockpit. It mounts very well on both. Thanks.

This is my first sim racing wheel and it exceeded my expectations. I don't have the ideal set up unfortunately, with the steering wheel attached to my desk and the paddles underneath. A sturdier desk would make for a better experience. Ultimately, though, a solid frame would be better or a racing sim seat. The wheel is great though. The force feedback is really fun, but the drivers were hard to find on Thrustmaster's site. The pedals are the weak link; no force feedback on them and the base is too light. At least the TMX is compatible with higher end pedals to upgrade to. For now, I'll continue to rest my left foot on the base of the pedals so it doesn't tip forward.
