Pros

  • after a ton of research, I chose the Thrustmaster T598 with the Ferrari 488 GT3 Wheel and the T-LCM pedals
  • T598 is great. Check Beat Buy. I paid $350 for my open box that was brand new unused.
  • T598 is a good wheel with 5 nm!
  • I like my t598. I can only compare it to g29.
  • Or the t598 is amazing aswell for 500

Cons

  • I moved from a Thrustmaster t598 to an RS50 and while the Logitech FFB feels far nicer, I do miss the choice of wheels I had with Thrustmaster.
  • the t598 is risky to get as the power cord issue is very common and the base is too big
  • I have the t-598 and think it’s pretty great and it’s more affordable than the fanatec. That being said I’m frustrated they still haven’t released the load cell pedal upgrade kit for the bundle wheels. But the wheel and base itself is...
  • Not the Thrustmaster(!), and if you can afford the Fanatec I think on PS5 it's better to get something that natively work.
  • Parent context: Thanks for the recommendation. I might get the t598 because it was Thrustmaster's new-gen wheel. Thanks! Reply: Npp I have a friend who has it I was at his house and it’s unreal although it feels a bit plasticky and hard...

I have the t-598 and think it’s pretty great and it’s more affordable than the fanatec. That being said I’m frustrated they still haven’t released the load cell pedal upgrade kit for the bundle wheels. But the wheel and base itself is great. Just be aware you need a PC to update the firmware which makes a huge difference

Parent context: Thanks for the recommendation. I might get the t598 because it was Thrustmaster's new-gen wheel. Thanks! Reply: Npp I have a friend who has it I was at his house and it’s unreal although it feels a bit plasticky and hard to clamp sort of but it’s still amazing and Thrustmaster ur aldready used to so it’s perfect for you
