THRUSTMASTER RACE DASHBOARD DISPLAYT248 features a selection of more than 20 different displays on its built-in screen: manual adjustment of a range of settings (selection of Force Feedback type, the wheel's rotation angle, etc.), or the user’s choice of telemetry information (gear ratio, RPM, gamer’s best lap time, etc.). |
DYNAMIC FORCE FEEDBACKT248 features 3 types of Force Feedback (presets included), compatible with all games and modifiable on the fly directly on the wheel: FFB 1: Force Feedback 100% proportional to the force requested by the game. FFB 2: enhanced Force Feedback, for better skid control. FFB 3: boosted Force Feedback, allowing users to clearly feel all racing effects from the track (curbs, skidding off-track, etc.). |
NEXT-GEN HYBRID DRIVE SYSTEMProviding gamers with extra power (up to 70% more than the previous Thrustmaster hybrid racing wheel, T150), T248 dominates racetracks thanks to its intensity. The outstanding drivability made possible by this hybrid system avoids counterintuitive sensations and friction problems commonly found in racing wheels without a belt drive component. |

|
---|---|---|
25 ACTION BUTTONSIncluding 2 dual-position encoders (up and down) located on the ends of the wheel’s central spokes, T248 features nearly twice as many action buttons as previous Thrustmaster racing wheels (T150 series). This extensive range of physical and virtual buttons allows users to always have plenty of choices when it comes to assigning racing controls, in any type of game. |
MAGNETIC PADDLE SHIFTERSThanks to H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology, T248’s paddle shifters allow for super-fast gear shifting, with clear and precise activation feel (30 ms response time) to avoid driving errors. This proprietary technology, based on a contactless system of magnets without any friction, also allows for an unprecedented product lifespan over the long term — even with the most intense gaming sessions. |
MAGNETIC PEDAL SETProviding truly exceptional, thousandth-of-a-second precision, the T3PM magnetic pedal set also allows for 4 pressure modes on the brake pedal. With completely smooth motion and avoiding the loss of precision over time experienced by standard potentiometer-based pedal sets, T3PM represents a huge, striking leap forward both in terms of versatility and in-game responsiveness |

The HYBRID DRIVE system is a standout feature. It provides dynamic force feedback that realistically simulates the resistance and sensations of driving a real car. Whether I'm skidding around a tight corner or feeling the impact of uneven terrain, the feedback is incredibly immersive, adding depth to my gaming sessions.
The build quality of both the wheel and pedals is top-notch. They feel sturdy and durable, capable of withstanding intense gaming sessions without showing any signs of wear. The wheel's grip is comfortable for long periods, which is crucial for endurance races.
Magnetic paddle shifters are a game-changer. They provide that satisfying click with each shift, and their responsiveness is spot-on, allowing for quick and accurate gear changes. The difference in performance compared to standard shifters is night and day.
The pedals are equally impressive. The magnetic mechanism gives them a realistic feel, especially when it comes to progressive resistance on the brake pedal. This feature allows for more precise speed control, crucial in racing games where every millisecond counts.
Another aspect I love is the screen with racing information. It's a convenient way to keep track of important stats without having to look away from the action. The ability to customize what information is displayed is a thoughtful touch, allowing me to tailor it to my preferences.
The wheel's compatibility with different racing games and platforms has also been a huge plus. It seamlessly integrates with my gaming setup, and the process of setting it up and calibrating it was straightforward.
In conclusion, the Thrustmaster T248P Racing Wheel and Magnetic Pedals have been a fantastic addition to my gaming rig. After nearly a year of constant use, it continues to perform excellently, consistently adding realism and excitement to my racing game experiences. I highly recommend it to any enthusiast looking for a high-quality, immersive racing wheel and pedal setup.
1. You’ll want to have Windows 10/11 on a PC, even if you’re an Xbox gamer, so that you can download essential firmware updates. Do not overlook this, even if it means bringing the wheel to a friend’s house to perform the update. As long as you have a Windows computer, it is an easy update to perform.
2. It is well worth experimenting with the built-in FFB settings (1, 2 and 3) so you can have a great set-up for the driving feel and responsiveness you want with minimal in-game tinkering.
3. On console, you have to go with Thrustmaster accessories if you’re going to add-on an H-Shifter or handbrake, so look those up and keep that in mind if you think you’ll want to upgrade your setup. It’s the same deal with other manufacturers like Logitech—accessories have to be from within the same ecosystem unless you’re playing on PC.
That said, it is tough to beat for the price. It has a good amount of torque with its gear/belt hybrid system (you’ll get far less if you settle for the gear-driven T150 or Logitech G923), and configuration through its digital display is convenient, especially as settings carry from game to game. It is not perfect, especially as it bugs out like everything else on XSX from time-to-time. However, it is an overall satisfying wheel to drive, and will probably make you want to own a full-blown sim rig at some point in the future.
