Thrustmaster 458 Spider Racing Wheel reviews

I have just got this and it is very good. There is no force feedback like my old 360 MS wheel but that's what you get for $199 these days-(I am sure my 360 wheel was $220) And the upgraded TX is around $800 bucks! The sensitivity has 4 settings and messing around with these last night I found a sweet spot with Forza 5 and started to break my lap records(after bolting it down). The only downside for me is the based is too small and if you have it on your lap the wheel brushes hard up against your legs .Full lock leaves the base spinning around while the wheel stays still in your hands due to lack of a flat base to brace on the top of your legs. So I would recommend pulling out the ironing board and locking it onto that or a table etc . Forza it pretty epic with a wheel and I am looking forward to whenever F12014 come out . I found a better peddle configuration to how it's comes boxed .The peddles can be unscrewed and reversed if you prefer the camber that way- The wheel is well made and the grip and buttons are excellent .The flappy paddle gears are metal.

This steering wheel and pedal set is great value for money. Hard to get used to as there is no force feedback, but after a bit of practise it's brilliant. I will say that force feedback is not be a feature I would pay the extra $600 for. So overall I am stoked with this product.

This is an awesome wheel which provides hours of fun. Best used on simulator games like Dirt 4 to get the true experience. To start with it took a bit to get use to, but when you get used to it, it is awesome. I really like the paddle shifters as this adds to the realistic experience. All you need is a table at the correct height for it to be clamped down to. Highly recommend to all that love racing games and like a change from using a controller.

Purchased this for my son's birthday. Arrived promptly & in perfect condition! He's very pleased with it – it's good quality & sturdy. Clamped it to an old computer desk – perfect!

I was surprised to find that this felt and functioned a lot better than I had assumed. But for its price, and how solidly built it is, I say it's a great start into racing simulation. Four stars for two personal opinions; no stick shift or clutch.

This looks amazing cant wait to use it tomorrow when it arrives fast shipping and am expecting to be here tomorrow good work mighty ape

Awesome product arrived super quick. Thanks very much

If your a starter, Getting into sim racing/racing with a wheel then this is the perfect wheel for you

Great for gaming, but I did find that the rubber on the wheel started to peel… But apart from that it's a great wheel!
