Intricate racing and a more realistic gameplay experience

If you want to enhance your racing experience while gaming by making it more life-like, the Thrustmaster T248 racing wheel and magnetic pedals are a fireproof way to achieve this feat.

In our Thrustmaster T248X racing wheel review, Ben Wilson (who happens to be our gaming accessories savant at Windows Central, particularly when it comes to racing wheels) gave it a 4.5-star rating, citing negligible shortcomings compared to wins. More specifically, he praised it for the super simple setup, in-depth settings, and excellent force feedback experience. Simulation enthusiasts will really get to feel the grip and burnout of the racing tires in the best Xbox racing games like Forza Motorsport, right in the comfort of their homes.

What's more, the Thrustmaster T248X supports multiple platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. No one is left out of the racing fun. If you need more convincing, though, listen to an actual customer:

Customer ratings

With a 4.3 star rating on Best Buy, this seems like a worthwhile deal that will blow your racing gameplay experience out of the water. According to buckbabes, who presumably bought the entry over a year ago from the outlet:

"If you like playing racing games the Thrustmaster T248 is an awesome and fun accessory for taking your racing games to the next level. It added an immersiveness that I never felt with a regular controller. Setup and teardown are simple. The steering wheel attaches to any desk or table surface with an adjustable clamp and the pedals just sit on the floor. The only Issue I had with setting it up was because the pedals slid around on the floor. Luckily, I was able to use the box as a brace between the pedals and the wall. The steering wheel is specifically meant for use with the PS4/PS5. However, it also worked great with the Xbox app on my gaming PC. There is no software download or anything else necessary to use it. But I was a little disappointed because it doesn't work with all racing games. So, before buying you may want to check the Thrustmaster website to see if it is compatible with any specific games you intend to play. In my use I was able to play DIRT 5 and Forza Horizon without any issues. The steering feedback was good and when I was coming out of turns the wheel would automatically center itself. The pedals on the other hand were just okay. They were very responsive, but I would have preferred if the brake wasn't so hard and if the pedals were spaced a little farther apart. Because after about an hour of playing my legs would cramp up. Overall, Like I said in the beginning of this review, it is an awesome and fun accessory for taking your gaming to the next level and it receives my recommendation."
