Thrustmaster  T300 RS GT 

The Thrustmaster T300 RS GT is a mid-range racing wheel known for its build quality and high-performance features. 

Brushless Servomotor. 

The T300 RS GT is equipped with a brushless servomotor, providing more precise response and greater durability compared to conventional motors. This translates to better force feedback simulation and overall wheel longevity.

1080-Degree Resolution. 

The wheel offers a 1080-degree resolution, meaning you can turn it three full rotations from lock to lock. This allows for very precise control during driving.

Adjustable Sensitivity. 

The force feedback is fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the feedback intensity to match your driving preferences and the type of vehicle in the game.

Buttons and Rotary Dial. 

The wheel features a wide array of buttons, a D-pad, and a rotary dial that can be used to quickly access in-game functions without needing a separate controller.

Cooling System. 

The T300 RS GT has an internal cooling system that prevents overheating during intense gaming sessions, ensuring consistent performance.

Metal Pedals. 

The included pedals in the set are made of metal, making them sturdy and durable. The brake pedal is progressive, simulating the feel of a real brake.

PC Compatibility. 

In addition to compatibility with PlayStation consoles, the T300 RS GT can easily be configured to work with a PC, allowing you to enjoy racing games on the Windows platform.

Mounting Compatibility. 

You can mount the wheel on dedicated gaming stands or a custom racing cockpit for a stable and comfortable driving experience.

Acoustic Feedback.

In addition to force feedback, the T300 RS GT provides acoustic feedback, allowing you to perceive the sound of road details, such as surface type and tire grip.

Description

This T300 RS GT model costs a little more than the T300 RS model, but basically has the same characteristics in the steering wheel. The pedalboard is different as it is much better and has 3 adjustable metal pedals.

The construction of the whole set is quite well cared for, very different in quality with the T150 models and this concerns both the steering wheel and the pedal board.

The steering wheel offers 1080 degrees of rotation and a Hall effect electronic device that improves driving precision.  It has a very good grip due to the good quality rubber coating although, at first glance, being completely smooth can give the impression of slipping, but this is not the case.

The mapping is very complete and contains all the buttons oof the PS4.

Unlike the footswitch, there are not many holes to attach the base to a desk or cockpit.  There is a plastic clamp and two holes for M6 screws not included, but it does its job well.

The steering wheel is removable from the base which is heavy enough and gives a feel of steadiness and safety. The removable steering wheel is convenient in case you want to replace the supplied steering wheel with other compatible steering wheels.

The feedback system is very efficient and much better than the T150 series as it has a brushless motor and a double belt system that ensure a rather realistic movement. After a few hours of play, probably due to a little overheating, the feedback effect tends to decrease. Between T300 RS GT and T300 RS there is a minimal quality difference in favour of T300 RS GT.

The pedalboard, apart from the aluminium pedals, is all plastic, and the sensitivity is lower than that of the Logitech G29 or G920, but the sensitivity of the brake can be adjusted by fitting a rubber tube, which improves braking. 

The pedals are height and distance adjustable with a screwdriver.

• the throttle pedal has 6 positions
• the brake pedal also has 6 positions

Conclusion.

If you plan to spend a few hours on gaming, and you don't want to spend a lot of money I recommend the T150, but if you decide to spend more time on gaming, both T300 RS GT and T300 RS will give you a lot of satisfaction.

The only weakness is the pedalboard, which is inferior to the G29 or G920.
