- Is the T248 a good first force-feedback wheel?
- Yes. It is a clear step up from gear-driven budget wheels, with smooth feedback and pedals included. It suits players moving up from a controller who do not want to spend on a load-cell set.
- Does the T248 work on PC and Xbox?
- It works on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC over USB. It is not compatible with PlayStation consoles.
- Are the pedals load cell?
- No. The magnetic pedals use Hall-effect sensors for response, but the brake is not a load-cell brake. Racers who want a stiff, pressure-based brake should look at the T-LCM pedals.
- Can I add a shifter or clutch?
- The box includes two paddle shifters but no clutch pedal or separate shifter. A Thrustmaster shifter can be added separately where the game supports it.
- How much space does it need?
- The wheel is heavy at about 95 oz and the pedals need floor space. A desk clamp or wheel stand is recommended; a flimsy table will flex under force feedback.
- What is in the box?
- The wheel base and rim, the magnetic pedal set, a desk clamp and a USB cable. No shifter or clutch is included.
