Thrustmaster  T300 RS 

The Thrustmaster T300 RS is a mid-range racing wheel with force feedback, known for delivering solid performance and a realistic driving experience. 

Brushless Servomotor. 

The T300 RS features a brushless servomotor that provides precise and consistent force feedback. This high-quality motor ensures a realistic simulation of driving force.

1080-Degree Rotation. 

The wheel offers a maximum rotation of 1080 degrees, meaning it can be turned three full rotations from lock to lock. This wide range of rotation allows for precise and detailed driving.

Progressive Pedals. 

The set includes progressive pedals for throttle, brake, and clutch. These pedals offer a realistic response, with the brake pedal requiring more pressure compared to the accelerator, similar to a real car.

Construction Materials. 

The T300 RS is constructed with high-quality materials, providing a premium look and feel. The wheel itself is wrapped in hand-stitched leather.

Multi-Platform Compatibility. 

The wheel is compatible with a variety of platforms, including PlayStation and PC. It can be used with the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Programmable Buttons. 

The wheel features programmable buttons, a D-pad, and paddle shifters, allowing for customization of the gaming experience and easy access to in-game functions.

Sound Feedback. 

In addition to force feedback, the T300 RS offers sound feedback that allows you to hear the noise of the road and driving conditions, enhancing immersion.

Mounting Support. 

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

Mid-Range Price. 

The T300 RS offers a great balance between price and performance, positioning itself as a mid-range option suitable for both beginners and driving enthusiasts.

Description

This T300 RS GT model It's a little cheaper. 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.
