A great way to break into the big leagues.
Unrivalled: Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Edition
Thrustmaster T300RS
The G29 killer
- precision and power
- A competition brushed motor
- The Thrustmaster ecosystem
The T300 RS is THE benchmark for PS4, PS5 and PC racing bikes for under $400. This GT Edition, in the colors of the game, exclusively for PlayStation platforms, includes a 3-pedal pedal set with metal finish and brake stopper. What sensations you can gain at the level of the feet.
For the rest we are dealing with a powerful brushless motor that avoids bad vibrations to transcribe the game’s force feedback data in the best possible way, with an interchangeable wheel that allows you to access the entire Thrustmaster ecosystem. Compatible with a wide range of games, the T300 is a reference for both gamers and game developers. It is therefore usually perfectly adjusted as soon as it is connected.

It’s the latest in the Thrustmaster range. This model is inspired by the T300 for the quality of the sensations while adapting its engine to control its price.

With a very wide compatibility on PS4, PS5 and PC, the T248 offers us the advantage of a high quality pedal set, superior even to that of the T300 and T-GT, thanks in particular to an adjustable tension brake. It can also accommodate an external shifter, like the brand’s most prestigious models.
The cheapest shuttlecocks for a good start
A small motor for a good mood: the T150 from Thrustmaster
Thrustmaster T150
Small but strong
- Good level sensations
- Compatible with PS4, PS5 and PC
- The end a little further down
If you needed to start without breaking the bank, we highly recommend this model. The T150 is equipped with a healthy, smooth engine for good racing feelings. Admittedly, its plastic processing is not at the level of the T300 and T248, but its ergonomics are good and suitable for both adults and children. This model can accommodate a 3-pedal crankset and is originally equipped with two pedals that must be fixed on a support or on a board to prevent them from slipping.
The T150 ensures compatibility on PS4, PS5 and PC and allows you to play many racing games without having to be in a good mood on a specific setting.
A high-quality workmanship: the G29 and the G923 from Logitech
Logitech G923
A nice ending
- The heir to the G25 and G27
- The flawless finish
- The 3-pedal pedal set
If they didn’t win us over in terms of sensations with their previous generation engine, we have to admit that the G29 and G923 are the best in terms of finish. Leather for the wheel, metal for the frame and a foolproof 3-pedal crankset. G29 and G923 are PS4, PS5 and PC compatible and will be instantly recognized in most racing games on these platforms. They can also accommodate Logitech’s H-Shifter and generally come in at a much lower price point than the base price. And between the G29 and G923 simply take the currently cheapest model, the difference between the two does not justify a price difference.
Lowest price: T80 from Thrustmaster
Thrustmaster T80
Without motor
- Good ergonomics
- No danger for the youngest
- No dynamic engine
Attention, here is a model without dynamic force feedback. So it is not recommended for racing game drivers but ideal for truck driving simulator and other farm simulator players. Its ergonomics are good and its PS3, PS4, PS5 and PC compatibility make it a model of choice for the youngest beginners.
