Does it have force feedback
I just took the plunge, and picked up the T150 Pro and plan to pick up a T300 later with out the pedals 😉
@@edvardgaare-olstad8545 yes, it does have force feed back with a hybrid gear and belt drive system, the newer t300 is dual belt wielding brushless motor,
for my first PC racing game and wheel I am struggling to decide between the t150 and the t150 pro (I am looking for cheap options)
or any other cheap wheels, recommendations?
The first wheel i owned. Wife purchased it as a birthday present, for the money it's excellent. Passed it onto my dad lol!!!!
Your dad told you: "That would be a great gift for my grandson... If I had one right?" Stop the free practice xD
Does it work on f1 2021?
@@j8d968 yes, just set max steering angl too 400
My first wheel as well. Got it as a birthday present and still use it
My first one is also a birthday present from my father I don't know how he knew I wanted one
uploaded 2 years ago, but its about 2023. something is not adding up
Probably he didn't want to make a new vid, since he would be just repeating himself
He probs just edited the title
Yup. Didnt want to make a vid so changed the title.
Welcome. To the Twilight Zone
at the entry level i think T150 is such a great wheel that deserve more coverage
i got the t150 pro in mid 2019 for 70 usd and it was "used" but essentially brand new. Was a monster deal and still works really well for me.
70usd os basically the other paying you to have it. What a great buy!
I just got mine for $60 with a broken gas pedal(doesn't come back) and i have just ordered a new spring for it ($12).Very nice deal
70 dollars Jesus mother of God. Thata a freaking STEAL
Now just get the t3pa pro pedals they are fantastic
Ol chippewa stoner going to try one of these biotchs and re- attack dirt rally.peace.
Had this for years, great little wheel. The stickyness of the rubber is just when its new out of the box put some hours and weeks on it and it settels in nicely. Now have the T300 with the same peddles as this pro and they are idd brilliant. Another up side to this compaired to logitec is if you want to buy an H- shifter with it the Thrustmaster one is miles better than that little plastic crap thing Logitec sells. And it will all be 100% compatable with other Thrustmaster stuff. So if you chose to upgrade later on the peddles and shifter will just carry over to your upgrade.
But the T150 is a great little wheel, show in the times he was setting straight off the bat. Offcourse if you are used to a €2000 wheel you'll notice the differince but coming in to sim racing this thing is a delight to race with. Do get the PRO tho, the standard peddles are shit.
I bought a T150 a year ago. It was my first wheel. It’s a decent first wheel. Just get the 3 pedal set. The only thing I have a issue with is that it started missing shifting on the down paddle. I recently ordered the GT DD Pro from Fanatec. Can’t wait for those to deliver in march.
its nice to revisit older hardware, cool to see where many of us started, i purchased my 6 year old a t150 to get him off my simucube 2 and my god its awful, feels like its full of wet sand but the smile on his face and not a care in the world about the wheel except it allows him to have fun is a reminder why we all do this.
is it really that bad?
@@only-legitness nah lol, I actually picked one up today and it’s pretty awesome
@@only-legitness it probably feels awful when you have a really good wheel but it's very good for your first wheel.
@@only-legitness this nerd is using $4000 rig or something like that so either he rich or need to reevaluate things… get a miata and hit local track for 4 grand lol 😂
Another real plus for the T3PA pedals is that you can use them inverted like the T3PA pro (if you're not afraid of dismounting it of course) never had a single issue since i did wich was about a year ago but the experience is way better !
what is the thing that you used inverted, the pedal order ?
Now that’s a review. Thanks, Random. My G29 is awesome, but I really would like to try Thrustmaster. I had one T80 (Ferrari Edition) but without FFB, of course.
i got this set for a steal on offerup. $60 and it still running strong. it didnt have the brake mod but ordered it from thrustmaster and its a game changer. def recommend this wheel set if youre getting into sim racing.
I bought the regular T150 yesterday for €50,-, with a wooden handmade playseat included that is actually surprisingly decent and similar to what I would've build. It's an absolute steal
I have the TMX Pro. I agree with everything said, the wheel rotation is slow and I have a lot of trouble catching oversteer. The force feedback is definitely a bit lacking, sometimes it feels very vague, especially with oversteer and understeer. The T3PA pedals are brilliant, especially since they don't use a LC brake pedal. It took me a while to get the brake pedal setup to how I like it but now it's spot on and helps with consistentcy.
I love this wheel even now. I think the force feedback is very underrated and much better than my Logitech wheel. I actually prefer this wheel with newer pedals over my Logitech G29.
I’m subscribing just bc u broke ur screen for the love of what you do ❤
I used a g920 for 2 years before switching to a tmx pro and it was such an improvement, I had massive issues with my g920 going off centre when I tried to save a slide which hasn't happened since the change but my tmx has much worse reliability as it has broken twice in the year and a half I've had it
How did it break twice? So that I know what to look out for on my own tmx?
@@JayKayX71 1st time it had to go back because the shifter port on it broke and broke with no warning it just stopped. And the 2nd time I had been doing a lot of drifting and some of the teeth on the gear inside had broken so the rim wasn't connecting to the ffb motor
i have the wheel for about two years now. Bought it cause i wanted to see if i will like sim racing in the first place. Well after all the time i still love it! my friend bought the g920 and we built identical wooden rigs with my old car's seats. the g920 feels smoother and more well built but it is noisier especially at drifting.Built quality isn't quite here with the t150 but after being abused heavily with a lot of drifting(i could smell the motor burning sometimes) it is still working fine.Both are great for entry level gamers like me and dont worry you can be fast and competitive too, i my self have some world records on rsr in ac and many wins on acc,ams2 etc (its all about practice). pedal wise the t3pa worked great for me but sounded squeaky after a while.(opened them and greased them no prob at all) a lot of heel and toe,clutch kicks and heavy braking and they feel great. I will definitaly upgrade sometime in the future cause i tried a dd1 once and i could never believe the difference...long comment but definately go for it if you are a newcomer
It would be interesting to see a comparison with T150 Pro, T300 GT RS (same pedals but different pedal plates), G29 and G923 as four entry level wheels. Of course with T300 it's possible to grow in the Thrustmaster eco system.
i found a "used" t150 pro with a th8a shifter for 130 usd last year but it was practically new and i love it especially with the shifter
I have the TMX Pro, I personally think that it’s great. The TMX is the Xbox version of the T150, so they are pretty much the same.
Have got this wheel and pedal setup - always great fun, and yeh - the T3PA pedals make a massive difference compared to the 2 pedal option.
And the T3PM pedals are another step above even that!... (Uses magnetic 100% contact & wear free Hall effect sensors to determine pedal position faster & more accurately vs the "inevitably wears out and starts working worse, & then eventually not at all" potentiometers in the older T3PA).
That said, I'm still waiting for Thrustmaster to actually bundle the T150/TMX wheels with the newer T3PM pedals for ≈$250-$300, as it would be BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR the best all-around single "introduction to sim-racing" wheel + pedal package for the price in the entirety of sim-racing. 🤷 Seems like an absolute no-brainer to me anyways.
Why do the tp3a pedals have tk cost more than a t150 wheel with regular pedals
I used a TMX Pro for just under 2 years before upgrading to a T300 while carrying the T3PA pedals over to it and using them for another 2 years. It is a very solid wheel to dip your feet into simracing, obviously not as good as more expensive options but that is all okay.
But if you put a sizable amount of use through it it will wear out, which I mean you should probably upgrade anyway. Case in point, as the video mentions the rubber on the rim being a bit flimsy, it literally wore out like a racecar tire within 1.5 years, having to glue the rubber back to the plastic too. While My T300 with the simple Ferrari GTE rim (the 100€ rubber one) has in a longer period of use zero signs of wear.
The T3PA pedals are a good kit, but I am not a fan of the conical brake mod, it limits the brake travel immensely while being effectively a bump stop with no progression. Perhaps you get a tiny bit of progression out of it with a full rig, but a T150/TMX is not a wheel for people with a rig, and the T3PA are also only a temporary prior to getting the T-LCM pedals or something like them. Though the jury is out on those still in terms of tear and wear, as for the T3PA, I had to replace the springs in them once fully, and in the end before the new pedals arrived I had only one none broken spring in the brake, the throttle was using the clutch spring that was broken (I had used the clutch in the brake, because the 3rd party spring were stiffer and when I first replaced the first failed spring the brake was too stiff) but still fully reset the pedal.
Again, I put a boatload of use through mine, if you drive for 2-6h a month you won't see those, if you drive 10h per week then you will, when in the market for a T150 you most likely won't know that yet, so when you buy one and realize you ended up in the later camp then you still have a set as spare as you should probably upgrade to something better in the near future.
I love the T150. Great low budget wheel, great for truck sims!
It's a great wheel for the price - Fullhouse Gaming has a T150. Granted he drives like Stevie Wonder, but it's not cos of the wheel.
Hey jackals it's changes w 5 stages of rotation by hitting the mode button and hit left on d pad 5 blinks is 1080 4 720 3 540 and so on..
I originally gonna bought this wheel but i found t300rs gt edition and it in my budget range so i bought the t300rs gt edition instead and I've never been this happy than before.
That's what I did too. Originally was planning on getting the T150, but got some extra cash and figured, might as well go for something nicer, so I got a T300RS GT.
Yup. If you can find a T300 for $50-100 more than this (fairly typical) i think it's worth the extra money. It's just a better wheel overall.
Just got the base version of this for like 130ish
Definitely gonna pick up the pedals when I get the chance
This video convinced me to pick up the T150 Pro Bundle with the intention to upgrade to a T300 wheel only at a later time.
Did you?
If you buy the t150 and the pro pedals separetly is it the same as i buy the t150 pro or is the steeringwheel not the same?
Better it’s bundled with the T3PAs than the POS 2 pedal set.
i have the normal t150, the pedals are absolutely hideous but im looking to change to a used t3pa or t3pa pro pedal set, adding the th8a shifter and maybe an ebay handbrake. all later down the line of course. i have to say the wheel is really really good if its your first (which it is for me) but you should save up for the pro version or get some money down the line and get a t3pa or t3pa pro pedal set
I picked mine up for 125 bucks, I'm very happy with it so far, just wish the grips didn't become sticky, I don't get why you said the g29 has better force feedback. it doesn't? it's alot better, especially with the bearing mod, which costs 5 bucks and is easy to do
And the regular pedals are great can't wait to get the 3tpa pedals
I have used this the last 2 years and get top 100 laptimes on Gran Turismo Sport aswell as Top 100 FIA ;)
I bought one and covered it in alcantara. It's amazing.
I want to get this wheel, I am choosing it over the logitech g29 because of the pedals.
Owned one, it is good.
But, sometimes, I don’t fell the car sliding, when I fell, it is already losing and spinning.
Hi there! I heard you say that this racing wheel is compatible with the PS5. but the real question is... does it work on ps5 games?
I have a HORI RWA apex, it works on PS5 but as long as im playing a PS4 game. it doesn't work on ps5 games
I got one of those for 50 euros in perfect condition and boy is it a nice wheel, I really like since I don't wanna spend a lot of money on a wheel but still want decent FFB
My first wheel since 4 years! Very good wheel to start with! Only thing that keeps me sad is that its a plastic wheel and it feels kinda weird and makes crackling noises after a few years lol. Pedals are really good, i just wish that i could keep the pedals and upgrade the wheel only lol
The pedals are too high up I have to hold my feet in the air the whole time when using it the wheel also starts acting weird now after using it for a few years so I race with my controller all the time.
Currently thinking of buying a new wheel and get rid of this one
I bought my t150 pro new at $200 a long time ago and I still have it today and works as new.
that quality content is gorgeous, love it
So I'm at the point where for $250, I am looking at the T150 Pro OR the Logitech G29, thoughts?
just bought one used for 110 usd. Best decision ever. The belt & gear system makes for smooth ffb tho not the smoothest compared to T300. But hey it's cheap and, coming from logitech wingman formula force it's just great. Tho i could use some more wheel rotation speed for drifting
I can use T3PA pedals in every game right?
Paris Reuen epic choice of music this one is a classic.
This wheel is currently going on sale in AU for $290 AUD (183 Euro), shall I get it as my first wheel? Or Pay double for T300RS GT
My t150 paired with my t3pa pedals works awesome!!!
Im still on t150 since 2019, I just replaced pedals with tlcm and opened the base upper case bc it was overheating and ffb was fading. I get into 17s in spa on acc so it's good until it dies
When I was 15 I bought myself a fanatec csr, with the car elite pedals and the two shifters. When I was about 17 I sold it, and have regretted it since. Currently have this wheel, and find it fairly lackluster. But thats coming from a wheel that was twice the money almost. For the money, this is a great wheel. My biggest con is the plastic wheel rim, as it flexes fairly easily. If you're just wanting to see if you're going to enjoy the hobby, without spending over $1000 for a fanatec wheel or higher end Thrustmaster, this is a great wheel.
Also, nice Forza Motorsport 4 music in the background of this video 😅
I got the TMX a year ago for 90euros brand new which got me into simracing, now I have it paired with Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals and TH8A with H-pattern 3drap tactile feedback mod, Ricmotech sequential mod, and I have to say that the wheel is still holding up well. Some games work better, some worse, but overall it's a great entry wheel, especially considering the T300RS costs 300+ EUR nowadays.
Could you please share where and how you got it for 90 euros? It's minimum 220 euros in the Netherlands...
@@ugurdorukkrbeyi5840getting it used probably
Hi does anyone know why my t150 pro steering wheel not centerd wen i play a car game and its in the middle it says its a bit to the left
This makes me want to get a new wheel
I got my T150 a couple of years back lightly used for 75€ with a copy of Gran Turismo 6, later on, I bought a shifter and pedals from a g25 for if I remember correctly around 30€.
I got 2 Arduino nano clones and USB Cables for around 10€ to make the pedals and shifter standalone and that's it, so I'm still easily under the 150€ mark and I have a decent low budget setup.
Recently I also got myself a used Wheelstand Pro for around 70€ basically just for the ease of setting it up.
For those interested, I mainly use it for drifting and I can definitely say that it could be a faster wheel for transitions but if you are mindful of that and drift/drive accordingly it could be worse.
Great review! Actually, I recently bought this wheel for the ps4 but when I connected it's not being recognized by the console. Anyone can help about it?
I have a TMX for over a year now and I'm really satisfied... Configured the FFB in AC with a lut file and it's very good.
The stock pedals are the lesser part in my case, I had to activate the warranty for them because the spring on the accelerator gave in and lost strength.
The wheel itself is very sturdy, reliable, has more buttons than the T150 and has 900 degree range. Now I just need to be able to get those pedals and the shifter 😎
Two times thrustmaster have sent me a replacement spring for free even though my pedals were out of warranty.
I have that wheel I used it for a few years
After a while the blue rubber does stick to your hands. I used a white pair of gloves with the wheel and the palms and fingers of the gloves turned blue. Also the rubber eventually starts to peel off the wherl.
But I'm using a T300 now which feels so much better with FFB.
I wrapped my t150 and t300 rim in a $10 leather strip off of ebay. Much better than the factory finish.
Just picked this up for 130 with the crappier pedals unfortunately. But the wheel is way better built and feels nicer than I was expecting. I'll get the better pedals later if I end up playing a lot. Apples to apples I wanted the Logitech but this was almost 100 bucks less so it was a no brainer. That 100 bucks will buy a nice entry level cockpit. This hobby gets pricey quick. Thanks for the review.
Used?
T150 is an incredible wheel for it's price. And with 3 pedal T3PA's it's as good as G29
Honestly I would probably lean more towards this because I've heard so many stories of the G29 breaking. I have two friends with one, both of them are damaged in some way, and I hear so many stories about them breaking on reddit.
As someone with 600+ hrs on my G27 I feel like Logitech is just destroying their line up by making every generation cheaper then the last while offering less and less.
Definitely. I've got the TMX, and I have used the G920 at a friend's house. I personally hugely prefer the TMX over the G920 as a wheel itself. If you can get the T3PA pedals it's 100% better
But you can buy a shifter for the g29 for $60 vs the $200 shifter for the t150
@@henrye561 u can use Logitech shifter for t150
@@smp219 yeah but don’t you have to buy a $20 dongle and program it
Ive had mine for a few months and honestly the only complains i have are that the wheel itself feels a bit small and sometimes in the first 2 months i had the wheel i would plug it in on my PC and it didnt work so i had to do some troubleshooting to get it to work
Got mine for 56 bucks, that was a steal for that price, then i installed some mods on the Wheel, like the Ball Bearing mod, which in my opinion is a must have mod for a T150, TMX or even a T300, it makes the wheel feel a lot smoother quicker and precise, and you're getting more detail through the FFB, then I've installed a Magnetic Paddle Shifters mod, that improve the feeling of those Paddle Shifters by a lot, but they're a little noisy with the mod installed 😅
Then I got a T3PM pedal set for 79 bucks bearly used on eBay, and the improvement was insane, I'm now pretty happy with my rig, planning to get a cockpit cuz i got an H pattern Shifter and a Handbrake, so i made a custom table support for both Shifter and Handbrake but i know is better to have a proper cockpit to fit all your hardware in.
Love the Forza Motorsport 4 music
If I didn't know how you broke the monitor I would say you did a summit.
@randomcallsign, how would the Thrustmaster T80 compare to the Thrustmaster T150? Is it worth a look as an alternative to buying a used t150?
t80 is much worse
Just from a personal point of view I much prefer the Logitech pedals over the T3PA. Particularly in the G923 set now that they've included the progressive spring in the brake pedal as standard.
Coming from g29 to t300rs gt. I am 100% agree with you. Logitech pedals has more quality and heavier even after t3pa conical brake mod applied, i still prefer logitech's pedal set.
I had issues with overheating on this wheel, but to be fair at the time of the issues it was 3/4 years old.
😂😂😂
Got mine in 2018 and used it for thousands and thousands of hours. Really reliable, broke because the X button Got pushed in messing up all the other buttons
Thats great to hear.
Im actually browsing up comments in here to see if there are durability issues and none so far. The buttons seems to be an easy fix
The best budget wheel, much better than g29/g923
I'm running the wheel with the standard pedals, got it two Christmases ago. And I have to say, it's not THAT unimpressive when you consider that the one I really asked for, because of how tight our budget was at the time, was the Ferrari-branded TM wheel that doesn't even have force feedback and actually feels like a toy, so consider my surprise at getting the actual better one. Is it a direct-drive wheel? No. Is it made of high-quality materials? Also no. But does it do what I need it to do? Yes. Except for have a clutch pedal... hopefully these pedals are available separately.
And yeah, the standard pedals are BAD.
Yeah I bought the t3pa pedals separately. They are available. And quite a step up from the 2 pedal setup
Can u play with a normal t150 and a gear shifter ?
so this video was made in 2021..... be read into the future of 2023.....
Exactly what I just said 😂
Button placement is WAAAY better on G29. I've owned both. L3 and R3 on the wheel base in stead of the wheel itself? Why?
What’s the name of game that you played it when you use the steering
I prefer the force feedback of the T150 over the Logitechs, it just feels...smoother.
I agree I have the Logitech G29 its a very popular wheel but I still prefer to use my old 5 year old T150 for some reason. The force feedback feels much more realistic and the wheel turns more smooth (in my opinion)
I went from TMX to T300, noticable upgrade. But still TMX (T150's brother) is a good wheel for the price. I had two pedal set that was meh, upgraded to fanatec CSR LC pedals, boosted my experience to a new level. This combo is probably the best entry level gear you can get, and you can go a long way with it, especially if you have no rig and limited space.
Is there a chance you still have the tmx base I’m trying to find a base to get off someone since mine is damaged
@@joziahcastaneda3544 Gone long time ago.
Hi! I use the "normal" t150 and just tried it on my ps5 in gt sport. It appears there is an inputlag of I would say around 0.25 or more seconds. I did not meassure it but it is strongly recogniseable so I can not race with the wheel. Is it maybe a setup problem I can solve by my own? Or is this simply a compatibility issue?
Maybe its the problem with the ps5. It was originally made for the ps4. It maybe lost some functionality with the ps5 that it need to be fast on the input
Best cheap wheel in my opinion and its worth the extra $50 for the pro pedals (azeto cortao ,sport 6,exc....)
They are 200 sometbing now
how does it compare to the T248?
The forza 4 music in the background is making me nostalgic
My first wheel but I'll try to buy a better one still looking which one. I'll probably give the t150 to my young cousin. Because I'm a good cousin eheheh thank you for the review. Unfortunately I have not the pro bundle the plastic pedals are really bad but hey it was my first time in contact with Sim racing and my budget at the time. Love be with you. Obrigado
is worth it to change a t150 for a t500rs?
I have the t3pa pedals, but i lost my brake mod... Is it worth it buying the brake mod for 10 bucks?
My paddles died out, all the buttons died out, rubber grips pilled off, but the wheel it self still going strong!💪👴
im going to susbcribe right now just for that monitor!!
Had mine for around 5 years and I still use it and abuse tf out of it , I'm surprised on how well it's holding up and works like brand new
can I buy a separate base for my t150pro wheel?
Just found the T150 Pro wheel/3 pedal for $6 at thrift store. 😊
It’s not working on my gta 5 how do I do it
I have this for over a year now... And now i pair it with TLCM.. 😅
Thats what i did as well, I even converted the old pedal set into a handbrake for rallying/drifting! Such a good combo for the price
I move from g29 to this wheel is because of t3pa pedal
ive used my thrustmaster t150 pro for about 5 years, ive played at least 3 or 4 hours a day since I got it. its fucked up, the faux leather is tearing off at the edges, the rest of it is worn and it squeaks under heavy load but god damn it it is still kicking, id honestly reckon its THE best entry level wheel for noob to semi serious sim racing
In 2021 should I still buy this over the t300gt ...
Can you do a video with the new F1 22 plus thrustmaster t150 pro wheel and the setups as well. I still have my thrustmaster t150 pro and I need a setup for the new f1 22. I pre-ordered the championship edition so I will get a 3days early access so probably tomorrow
No, I cant
I got really lucky on amazon as one was on sale (regular not pro) for only £119
I can’t not remember the guy who’s t150 smoked up mid stream
Can you play open wheel racing with it?
How do I connect it to my PS4 so I can drive
I can get one for 100 used on marketplace but don't know if I should my g27 died like to get t300 but wallet said no lol
Does it work on the Ps5?
This or g920 I have a g27 but it fi Aly broke but I'd I get one it would be the base t150 and I'll probly use g27 pedal and shifter as I have a mod box that connects them to it
