Thrustmaster TMX Force Feedback Racing Wheel
Thrustmaster
- Belt-pulley force feedback system
- Strong, realistic feedback
- Popular with PC and console racers
- Included pedal set
A great alternative to the Logitech 920 is the TMX Force Feedback Racing Wheel from Thrustmaster. This racing wheel is extremely popular with PC gamers and console gamers can quickly see why with its strong force feedback and unique belt-pulley system. The wheel delivers feedback that does a great job of mimicking the experience driving in a real car.
This racing wheel from Thrustmaster does not have the same thick, leather feel as the Logitech controller. Instead the racing wheel is a bit thinner and has a slightly more plastic feel to the touch. Since this wheel is also heavily targeted at PC gamers the buttons do not exactly mimic the xBox controllers placement. For instance, the colored buttons are separated along the top of this racing wheel instead of placed near each other.
The Thrustmaster has an adjustable rotation angle so that gamers can customize how much their wheel can turn - from 270 degrees to 900 degrees (the same as a race car). The wheel has an 11 inch diameter. The floor pedals on the Thrustmaster have good resistance and adjust easily but the pedal set does not include a clutch pedal. Thrustmaster produces an entire suite of products and they have add-on pedal sets that cost a bit more money but introduce a clutch pedal and other features like metal pads and individual pressure settings.
