@@Shinobi33 thanks those look great but I’m not sure the orange or blue Crystal packs go well with the Forza color scheme on this awesome controller. Too bad cause I’d love to switch out those slick side grips for what seems like grippier ones in the replacement packs.

I'm watching this video in 2024, because I'm on a hunt for a controller to play driving sim video's. This looks very interesting. Mind you, I'm a novice when it comes to driving video's and controllers. Thanks.

Pre-ordered mine and had it the first day. I have an XBox Elite 2 and a Razer Wolverine Chroma. The TM controller blows them away. Best part is that my lap times improved noticeably as soon as I started using the TM.

Thanks and kind regards for a very informative and helpful review

Man, this continues to remind me of how much I wish Thrustmaster would make a controller that was the same silhouette as a ps5 controller.

I really want them to release a flight sim oriented one with a little throttle module. One that has no spring return to center.

More rotation definitely seems like the ideal upgrade. Not sure about 270, but even juts 180 degrees. They may as well make a separate module for the wider rotation variants, so it can resolve the analog input easier (and no worries about stoppers that prevent overturning). Biggest thing I think it needs are replacement wheels, similar to replacement sticks at different heights. You could definitely make the whole wheel a little bit larger, while also having some more stylistic choices.

HKS was probably best racing controller for PS2 back in the day. It was very ergonomic. It had a self centering wheel that was basically a mouse wheel turned horizontally. It also had a gas pedal and brake pedal on the front for your thumb that had resistance.

The Gamester wheel controller for the original xbox was my favorite racing peripheral. I used to spend countless hours on Project Gotham Racing with that thing.

Very cool idea, and it looks awesome, still wish it had usb c, great vid!

Fantastic controller love it 😍

Looks good but more rotation would be great. Totally agree with the rubberised side grips, that would have been cool AF. Id like to see the wheel module slightly larger and positioned centrally in the controller so could be used with both thumbs and also made to look like a real steering wheel. They could sell branded wheels that way. Id buy them all for sure. Ill prob still buy it tho as ive been looking for something like this for years.

Great video, slick montage, missing some nice Rocky music though. Would be nice tohave someone explain why palette are fundamental on a pro controller

I will get an updated version of this controller for the next Forza Motorsport, provided they increase the turn range.

Man if not for the hot pink color I'd buy it immediately. A blue or orange variant would've been amazing. I got the wheel module though

Dude. I just got the racing wheel module and I cannot believe how much it changes Trackmania for me. Until now, the game always felt kinda “off” to me. Steering with a keyboard felt awful. Steering with a thumbstick felt worse than it should have no matter how many times I messed with it in the settings. Then the steering wheel module arrived and BOOM the game just clicks now. It just feels right. I didn’t expect it to make this much of a difference. And the wheel movement is so nuanced that I don’t feel like it needs to be able to turn any more than it already does.

I'm really worried that I won't be able to use separate stick and wheel on the left, no one has covered it. I thought you or the farm sim reviewer would be the one to say, but I guess not. I'm really looking forward to trying to build my own wheel module with a multi-turn pot.

Awesome review as ever! That 90° range is really bad, I am using gyro on Dualsense for steering, and the difference just between 90° and 180° (max for gyro) is huge, seriously. So they wouldn't even have to make it 270°, 360° or whatever, just increase to 180° would make it so much better (although the more the better obviously). Also, it is very important how you set the deadzone and steering gamma. Unlike with thumbstick, you want deadzone set to 0 (which is impossible to do in some games), and increase the gamma so small movements give you more precision.

I want one so badly but lack of wireless combined with perhaps the worst form-factor (Micro) USB for wired connection, particularly since it's at the "business end" is an instant nope from me. I'll wait for another version. Amazing idea though.

Lock to lock only 90 degrees? Same with the joystick. Unless I'm wrong. CMIIW.

Wow, thrustmaster invented the pong paddle. Sarcasm aside this looks like a really cool controller that I am now itching to buy. I was worried that the wheel module only worked for Forza games specifically. I'm relieved that it just shows up as left and right stick movement. That should mean it would work with any driving game. I thought it might be cool to use in grand theft auto where you use the regular layout to control your character on foot and swap over to the steering wheel module when you get in a car.

What is your wheel settings that work best for you. Maybe do a video of detail how to adjust or help me understand how i should be doing it. I did get one today..

I want this for American Truck Simulator but I can wait for an improved version with more rotation.

Just got this at a fantastic price - £100 (plus a £50 voucher for the store I got it from, usable in February)!

Does the racing module work with the eswap pro playstation version of the controller? It doesn't seem there's an "unbranded" version of this racing wheel module and I have the Playstation version of the eswap.

Does the wheel component function work by normal potentiometer or did Thrustmaster actually go with the better optical reader?

Does it have full rumble/vibration effects as in the Xbox Elite series 2 controller?

Can you map one of the back buttons to be a bumper?

How do you get menu button to work on xbox version of this controller? Just got one of these.

Nice videos man. Love how you talk sh*t , always crack me up 😂

Can Thrustmaster eSwap "wheel module" for Forza work on eSwap for PS4 version? I had the impression that maybe so, because the dock design is (apparently) the same on both controllers. Do you know if it works?

is it posable to make the wheel a scroll wheel through like rewasd or something (fn scroll wheel reset for those wondering why I ask)

Hey! Would you recommend this controller with the racing wheel to a casual F1 player? I can't decide...

why does no one cover the trigger swap feature or what the RSB and LSB mean in the remapping software and that they are also remapable

What type of Kontrol Freeks work on this roller? PS or Xbox?

I have a question for the host...If i have an idea for the controller who do I talk to at thrustmaster? Is their a link I can go to to talk to the team? I think it is a good idea that people that play horizon or any racing game for that matter would be able to sink their teeth into as well as make the experience more realistic and that much more enjoyable. I would also like to give some feedback to Forza.

That's what I want😮

Yo that looks legit

I wonder if this would work on games like assetto corsa

Ok controller king. Can that work on a PS5 on GRAN TURISMO 7 with a brook adapter??

The only possible way this would be worth forking out for a dedicated controller or even paying a good bit extra for jus the module, is if it had no centering spring, and was an actual DD motor with FFB. Thats the only genuine upside this format could possibly have over a traditional analogue input. Do you want more resolution to your steer input from lock to lock on a thumbstick? Simply hold the thumbstick forward and roll it from side to side to get a L/R input thats more granular, and basically lets to use the same thumb movements as you would with this module, input is functionally the same. Its very very securely sitting in "Gimmick" land for me. And unless they do come out with some DD FFB module for it. I'll never give it a second glance.

I'm very much not sold on this controller for a few reasons. I've been playing racing games somewhat competitively for about 10 years now on a controller, from sim to arcade games. First, this just doesn't look ergonomic at all or seems like it does anything different from a thumbstick that is placed in the same location. One thing I keep saying is how thumbsticks on the lower position are better for left and right inputs while in the higher position they're better for up and down inputs. I've never had issues with the stick placement on PS controllers for racing, can't say I like their shape though especially how upright the sides are, which seems to be a problem with this controller too. The idea of a slider that only moves left or right is great, but I feel like the implementation here leaves a lot to be desired. I think if they had something like the PSP thumbstick but with more range of movement (and that doesn't immediately die with a few hours of use) it would be much better than this. Just a slider that can be dragged left or right on a slight diagonal for better ergonomics would be ideal. Ultimately I feel like nothing is gained from this module spinning around, if anything it actually takes precision away versus an actual slider. Finally, arcade games usually have pretty aggressive steering filters in place and I can totally see this being far too unresponsive for the majority of games. I play Horizon 5 a fair bit and the cars already are on the unresponsive side, to me this would just add to that and make the driving feel even more disconnected. There are other games with different styles of steering filters, some with none at all like simulators, but I feel like a slider would be simpler and work as good if not better for all racing games.

1:53 If you got a controller for free, that's payment. Why is this so hard for KZreadrs and "influencers" to understand? You did the correct, legal thing in disclosing the free product but that doesn't mean you weren't paid. You were. Imagine if I said I wasn't paid by Porsche to review their 2023 911 GT3 RS, they just gave me a free one. Now do you get it? Note: this comment was not paid for by Porsche to mention their all new, amazing 2023 911 GT3 RS, their gift to car enthusiasts, special and rare automobiles that make driving-slowly or quickly, on the road or on the racetrack-a soul-stirring experience... but they did give me a free one.

"If you don't have money for a wheel" For another 50 you can get a decent wheel in fact you can get 3 Xbox thrustmaster Ferrari no frills whell with pedals for the price of this when they go on sale for 60-70 which is going to give 10000% more control than this. In fact you can buy their brand new 900 degree Xbox wheel for the same amount. The truth is it's a horrible value for niche gimmick
