I've been using the Thrustmaster T248P Racing Wheel and Magnetic Pedals since January 3, 2022, and it's been an absolute thrill ride! This setup has significantly enhanced my racing game experience, offering realism and precision that I hadn't encountered with other wheels.
The HYBRID DRIVE system is a standout feature. It provides dynamic force feedback that realistically simulates the resistance and sensations of driving a real car. Whether I'm skidding around a tight corner or feeling the impact of uneven terrain, the feedback is incredibly immersive, adding depth to my gaming sessions.
The build quality of both the wheel and pedals is top-notch. They feel sturdy and durable, capable of withstanding intense gaming sessions without showing any signs of wear. The wheel's grip is comfortable for long periods, which is crucial for endurance races.
Magnetic paddle shifters are a game-changer. They provide that satisfying click with each shift, and their responsiveness is spot-on, allowing for quick and accurate gear changes. The difference in performance compared to standard shifters is night and day.
The pedals are equally impressive. The magnetic mechanism gives them a realistic feel, especially when it comes to progressive resistance on the brake pedal. This feature allows for more precise speed control, crucial in racing games where every millisecond counts.
Another aspect I love is the screen with racing information. It's a convenient way to keep track of important stats without having to look away from the action. The ability to customize what information is displayed is a thoughtful touch, allowing me to tailor it to my preferences.
The wheel's compatibility with different racing games and platforms has also been a huge plus. It seamlessly integrates with my gaming setup, and the process of setting it up and calibrating it was straightforward.
In conclusion, the Thrustmaster T248P Racing Wheel and Magnetic Pedals have been a fantastic addition to my gaming rig. After nearly a year of constant use, it continues to perform excellently, consistently adding realism and excitement to my racing game experiences. I highly recommend it to any enthusiast looking for a high-quality, immersive racing wheel and pedal setup.

THRUSTMASTER RACE DASHBOARD DISPLAYT248 features a selection of more than 20 different displays on its built-in screen: manual adjustment of a range of settings (selection of Force Feedback type, the wheel's rotation angle, etc.), or the user’s choice of telemetry information (gear ratio, RPM, gamer’s best lap time, etc.). |
DYNAMIC FORCE FEEDBACKT248 features 3 types of Force Feedback (presets included), compatible with all games and modifiable on the fly directly on the wheel: FFB 1: Force Feedback 100% proportional to the force requested by the game. FFB 2: enhanced Force Feedback, for better skid control. FFB 3: boosted Force Feedback, allowing users to clearly feel all racing effects from the track (curbs, skidding off-track, etc.). |
NEXT-GEN HYBRID DRIVE SYSTEMProviding gamers with extra power (up to 70% more than the previous Thrustmaster hybrid racing wheel, T150), T248 dominates racetracks thanks to its intensity. The outstanding drivability made possible by this hybrid system avoids counterintuitive sensations and friction problems commonly found in racing wheels without a belt drive component. |

25 ACTION BUTTONSIncluding 2 dual-position encoders (up and down) located on the ends of the wheel’s central spokes, T248 features nearly twice as many action buttons as previous Thrustmaster racing wheels (T150 series). This extensive range of physical and virtual buttons allows users to always have plenty of choices when it comes to assigning racing controls, in any type of game. |
MAGNETIC PADDLE SHIFTERSThanks to H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology, T248’s paddle shifters allow for super-fast gear shifting, with clear and precise activation feel (30 ms response time) to avoid driving errors. This proprietary technology, based on a contactless system of magnets without any friction, also allows for an unprecedented product lifespan over the long term — even with the most intense gaming sessions. |
MAGNETIC PEDAL SETProviding truly exceptional, thousandth-of-a-second precision, the T3PM magnetic pedal set also allows for 4 pressure modes on the brake pedal. With completely smooth motion and avoiding the loss of precision over time experienced by standard potentiometer-based pedal sets, T3PM represents a huge, striking leap forward both in terms of versatility and in-game responsiveness |

Customer Review: Paddle shifters are not durable

Decent racing wheel with some flaws
I am not a huge racing game player, but I will from time to time get in the mood for some racing. The biggest challenge for me has always been racing with the controller. I have always wanted to get a good wheel and found that this had some decent reviews. It works well with Gran Turismo 7. I do, however, have a few complaints with this set. Below are my pros and cons for the Thrustmaster T248:Pros:- I really love the pedals. They work great and, in my opinion, look great.- I like the feel of the wheel. The wrapped wheel makes if feel closer to the wheel in my personal vehicle.- There are plenty of buttons to program. I've had the chance to mess around with this and really love having so many to set up the way I like it.- Being my first wheel, I really like the force feedback. You can make some adjustments to how strong it is, though in GT7, I usually use this method. But I can say this, with it adjusted up pretty high, you can feel just about everything in the game. Example: When the car begins to get a little loose on the turns, I can start to feel it as it is happening.Cons:- I do not like that you have to unplug everything and hook to a PC to update. It would be nice to be able to run updates on the hardware through your PS5.- Setup was not as easy as I expected. It took an update and some messing with the setting through the wheel before it would work with GT7.- Not all games are compatible with this wheel. While this really isn't really Thrustmaster's fault, it is disappointing that other games, such as Need For Speed Hot Pursuit or Hot Wheels Unleashed are not supported. Be sure to check your games for compatibility with racing wheels before purchasing.- The brake pedal is super stiff, even with the softest spring. If you are using this on anything but a stand, be ready to have it start slipping away from you after a while. This was the worst part about the pedals. You pretty much want a mount for this, or you will constantly be trying to hold it in place with something.- I'm not a fan of the built in menus. I started to get really frustrated trying to figure out how to make adjustments- Paddle shifters are way too noisy. Be ready to wake up the house when using them. I plan to get a shifter to avoid dealing with them. It is too bad too. I had a car that had them and loved being able to shift on the wheel. The noise from the paddles are just unbearable in my opinion.My overall opinion is this: if you want a decent setup and do not mind dropping around $400, then this might be for you. Would I purchase these again? Maybe, but I am not quite as happy with them as I had really hoped I would be. These have worked for the intended purpose and has made the one racing game I love much easier and immersive, but for the price, I think that it was a bit high for some of the flaws that are in this setup
