- Is the T598 a direct-drive wheel?
- Yes. It uses a direct-drive motor, unlike Thrustmaster's belt-driven T300 and gear-driven T248. That means faster, more detailed force feedback with less mechanical slack.
- Does it work on PS5 and PC?
- Yes. It connects by USB and supports PS5, PS4 and PC. Console and PC users get the same force feedback features.
- What is included in the box?
- The set includes the direct-drive wheel base, a wheel rim and a two-pedal set. A clutch pedal and load-cell brake are not part of the standard bundle.
- How does it compare with the Thrustmaster T300?
- The T598 is direct drive, so feedback is quicker and smoother than the T300's belt drive. The T300 is lighter and has a longer track record, while the T598 is the newer design.
- Do I need a rig or stand for it?
- A solid desk clamp or wheel stand is strongly advised. Direct-drive torque and the set's weight put more strain on mounts than a belt-driven wheel.
- Is it wireless?
- No. It has no Bluetooth or wireless mode and connects only by USB. The built-in battery is not for cordless play.
