Both pedals and the steering wheel base are susceptible to defects. The force feedback gets progressively weaker over the course of a session and soon disappears completely. If you don't want to race much, you'd better go down a price range, if you play a lot, you have to go up a level.

I need this steering wheel now for about 10 months and never had another before. Initially, the joy was great and I could quickly improve driving. The advantages over a controller were clearly shown to me. (Quick info: I drive with a Playseat Evolution and exclusively Gran Turismo Sport).
However, with growing ambitions, after less than a year I can say that my choice would be different today. The 2 main reasons are as follows: 1) Even at less than 50% FFB the servo motor overheats after a very short time, which leads to a drastic loss of FFB. Constant lap times are impossible with this. 2) The fan turns out of round and is therefore very loud -> a moderate flap from the right helps, but is not a solution.
After a short research in various forums, I unfortunately found that many buyers are affected by these problems. Therefore my conclusion: If you want to make sim-racing your hobby for a longer time, you can save the 300 Fr. and invest directly in a more expensive model.

I had the Thrustmaster T150 steering wheel before and was already satisfied with it.
But this one is a whole lot better.

Super device for ambitious gamers.
Pedals are very comfortable.
A lot better than T150.
Add-on Open Wheel should be considered! Especially for F1 games.

So here the manufacturers must urgently about the books. Nowadays, everything would have to work wirelessly and a software standard be introduced for the setting in the games.
If you don't have a pure racing simulation corner where the PC with stand is always standing around, but also want to play other games, you quickly lose the desire to constantly assemble, assemble and disassemble.

Very good quality product, works perfectly on my PC with Project Cars 2
I've been waffling back and forth between the Logitech G29 and the Thrustmaster T300 for a long time. Have looked at various reviews / comparisons and read. Price-wise, the Thrustmaster T300 is well above the G29, so I guess the G29 would have sufficed. In the reports, the better force feedback of the T300 was emphasized compared to the G29. As another advantage, the possibility was mentioned that you can exchange the steering wheel of the T300 (eg against a F1 steering wheel). These two reasons made me choose the T300.

See the summaries here and there which give a lot of indications. For my part, for a first steering wheel it's really a great system. I use it with F1 2020, Dirt Rally 2 and ACC and frankly we wonder why we waited so many years to buy it! The only little flaw is that the wheel is a bit too small. You might as well buy other wheel models for the most demanding (e.g. F1 SF1000 or other Sparco models). Of course it's not Fanatec but it's not the same price ! I highly recommend (and don't get discouraged during the first 2 -3 hours)
I absolutely love it. Granted I am not a professional driver, but this item + the TH8A + VR, I feel exactly like in a real car.
My only wish concerns the pedals : I would have prefered a better option for the addon on the break pedal. This feels very cheap and I could bend it with my noodly arms, I can't imagine what the strength of an emergency brake would do it (and me, not being a professional, makes those emergency braking happen a lot!).

Is ideal for players who gamble more than just once a month. Price performance is already good here.
I move that thing already a few hours a week and it still holds😂.
You can always complain about something if you are looking for.
The second wheel to own. Previously I owned a Logitech G25 and in comparison, I very much prefer the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT. Aside from feeling more responsive, I loved the fact that it is belt-driven (instead of gear-driven) as it barely makes noise when in use instead of the never-ending loud clunk-clunk-clunking.
The built quality seems solid and somewhat understated, which looks good and not too flashy. The only thing that I miss is a gear-shifter (it comes with paddles of course), but that can be bought separely if you are planning on using it.
I have been predominantly using it with RaceRoom Racing Experience and it seems to be set up very well for it. It is a joy every time.

I use the steering wheel for truck simulators. The steering movement can be adjusted exactly to the truck by configuration. The force feedback is very powerful and transmits vibrations, shocks and steering resistance very well. The steering wheel is a bit small for trucks, but doesn't diminish the function in any way. Even with intensive and long use, neither heat nor noise are unpleasantly noticeable.
The body and the steering wheel are made very high quality and robust, there's nothing to complain about.
The cables are long enough. Unfortunately, an on/off switch is missing, which is very useful when the steering wheel is put away and the PC is used elsewhere - if you forget to pull the cable, the steering wheel clears the table.
The pedals are very resilient. The included rubber end stop for the brake makes the braking feel much better. The pedal plates are very easy to adjust in height and spacing and adjust well.
After hundreds of hours of use, the part still works to my complete satisfaction.

Good driving wheel.
It's a very good mid-range product, which offers more than decent sensations. The crankset remains the weak point of the device, with a brake pedal that doesn't offer any feeling without the plastic stop, and a limited braking hardness with the stop. It's far from Fanatec quality, but for small and medium budgets, it's a safe choice, to be completed with the new Thrustmaster pedalboard with "load cells".

Static charge and otherwise it works very well
Very satisfactory for the money. Force feedback is great and sufficient up to the professional equipment that costs several hundred francs more. Very authentic feeling. The gearshift paddles feel valuable. The pedals for the feet make a good impression despite plastic parts. I am satisfied with the PC so far. Use this combo with VR goggles

I have been using it for a good year now and I have nothing to complain about. Price / performance can't be beaten. Force feedback sufficient.
