Versus: Thrustmaster T128 vs Logitech G29

Two of the cheapest active force feedback sets out there and certainly worth looking into from a budget perspective. An in-depth comparison between both these starter steering wheel sets.

    I bought the t128 last Black Friday for BRL1000. It was a discount of BRL600 and that's a lot around here. G29/920 costs BRL 1600 ~ 1900... For someone who had made their own steering wheel and pedals, using Arduino, then I think it was a good deal. I am competitive, in due proportion, in online AC/iracing

    Will the t128 be a big (or at least decently noticeable) upgrade from t80?

    Yes. There is the difference in technology. The t80 does not feature force feedback while the t128 does and that makes a world of difference. If there is a bit more budget, I would advise to look at second hand sites, you can get a T248 for around 30-40€ more. The steering wheel feels much better in hand, the ffb is much stronger and the pedals are absolutely 10 times better than t128

    Hey dude. would you be able to do a video on the Moza R3 situation? It was announced 8 months ago and was supposed to go on sale last year. The release date keeps moving and the official line is Microsoft certification. But no one seems to be willing to actually talk about the situation not least Moza themselves. So many people are sitting waiting for this thing to come out as its a huge upgrade from a logitech g920 or Thrustmaster tmx for Xbox.

    Your reviews are coming at a really good time for me, gathering info for my first set up. I had considered these, but I'm gonna go for the T300 Rs Gt. I think that'll be more than enough for me, i can't justify paying for DD. Not yet, anyway. I'll see how hard the bug bites 😂 great video, sir!

    The T300 is at this moment the most sensible choice for a starting wheel budget/performance wise for console. You made imo the best choice. Thank you for the kind words! 💙

    But even after months of using the t128 I was unable to configure the FFB. Either it becomes very weak and I can't feel much of the car and the track, or it becomes very strong, shaking everything, making a LOT of noise and tiring my hands in some laps.

    Thats a bit of an issue when you have a limited force feedback strength and the major reason why people upgrade. While the T128 is very good to get a "taste" of sim-racing for a limited budget, the difference with the more higher end bases is significant due to the differentiation in force feedback.

    Those Thrustmaster pedals are revolting. why did they not just use the standard 2 pedal setup that comes with the t300 / TX? They have been around forever, so surely cannot be expensive to make

    They needed an overhaul anyways to add the hall sensors but indeed. The design of the old T2pa just with hall sensors would have been better.

    I had the g29 and it was horrible. It had TOO MUCH power and the center on the wheel was awful, it would just drift left/right and not dead center, too loose.
