ThrustMaster T80 Racing Wheel (4160598)

The ThrustMaster T80 Racing Wheel is designed specifically for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Sony Playstation 4 game consoles, but it cannot be connected to a computer.

Keys

For comfortable gaming on consoles manufactured by Sony, the steering wheel is equipped with all the necessary set of keys (similar to a gamepad), the total number of which is 11 pcs. They allow you to quickly respond to the gameplay without being distracted from the situation on the virtual road.

Convenience

The device consists of two separate parts: steering column and pedal block (gas and brake). I am glad that the angle of inclination of the pedals can be adjusted to suit you and the fact that a rubberized structured coating is applied to the steering wheel of the manipulator for a more secure grip. But the small angle of rotation of the steering wheel (180 °) and its tight travel are disappointing, but do not interfere with getting used to the control — this is just a matter of habit. Moreover, the steering wheel and brake pedal are equipped with a feedback system for a deeper immersion in the race.

Installation

The game manipulator is installed on a table or cockpit, which is not included in the delivery package and must be purchased separately. The device is connected to the set-top box via a 3 m long USB cable. This distance allows you to feel comfortable even in front of large screen TVs.

Optimal choice

The manipulator is often the choice of beginners who want to replace their gamepad with a full-fledged steering wheel. And it really can be safely honored to be called the best choice for beginners for little money.

Reference. In racing cars, the cockpit is considered to be the entire place where the pilot is located (for example, the cockpit of the car). In the world of gaming wheels, this concept implies the location of the steering and pedal unit, as well as the gearbox within the framework of a one-piece structure.
