Pros and cons

According to our racing wheel expert

The special Direct Drive Axial force feedback ensures the most realistic racing experience.
The wheel is removable, so you can easily replace it with an F1 steering wheel.
The metal raceline pedals are adjustable and can be set up to your liking.
The pedal platform doesn't have a clutch pedal, so you can't manually shift gears.

Description

Replace your controller or mouse and keyboard with the Thrustmaster T598 Direct Axial Force Feedback Racing Wheel and race to the finish line in your favorite games. You can easily connect this racing wheel to your PlayStation or PC. The Thrustmaster T598 racing wheel has Direct Axial Drive force feedback with a 5-newton-meter maximum torque. You can easily overshoot this 5 newton-meter to 10 newton-meter for even more power and sensation. This means that the motor is directly connected to the mechanical units in the racing wheel, without a belt or gearwheels. With Direct Drive, the force feedback is more accurate and you'll be able to feel all bumps, sand grains, or kerbs in your hand. The Axial technology was designed by Thrustmaster themselves. It provides feedback without resistance, which makes it more accurate. Rather use a different steering wheel? Effortlessly take the steering wheel off. The metal raceline pedals are adjustable and can be set up to your liking.

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

For a nice upgrade

Driving is an experience
You feel every bump in the road
You even feel the shifting
Clumsy base

You really have to get used to it, and any wrong steering movements are punished harshly! It's fantastic! Now we're waiting for the pedal upgrade. #patience

Review is 8,8 out of 10.

All good, with minor drawbacks that only apply to me.

Good ffb
Good table clamp.
The steering ffb and pedals are silent.
Not compatible with logitech playseat unless you want to do some heavy drilling.

Perfect wheel, but you have to connect the pedals to the correct port, otherwise it won't respond. I find the table clamp quite sturdy.

You can adjust it to increase small forces, so you can still feel all the forces fairly well at a low setting, but it's easier to leave it at the default setting, set it to 100%, and then simply increase or decrease the FFB in-game. For Logitech PlaySeat compatibility, I had to drill a lot of hardened steel. My old Thrustmaster T-GT 1 is compatible with the Logitech PlaySeat, without drilling. But it's also a Thrustmaster, not a Logitech, so that makes sense from a Logitech perspective.

The shifter paddles make a lot of noise unless you press gently, which is a bit inconvenient if you don't want to wake someone. But with frequent use, the paddles can gradually become quieter after a while. And otherwise, it's remarkably quiet.

The steering base is heavy, but given the small adapter, it's much more economical on electricity and therefore more efficient and effective. However, I haven't checked that.

Recommended, but not for racing

Many options for assigning buttons
Light steering, calibration is automatic
Sturdy table mounting
Quite heavy

There are certainly better wheels for racing games, but they come with a price tag. I don't use this wheel for racing, but for driving a truck. And for that, I highly recommend it.
