Thank you for your support!!! - Hry
5:11 I have owned the G29 for over 4 years and the only damage I have is the paint on the little blue strip at the top of the wheel has rubbed off. Apart from that, the wheel is still good after 900+ hours on racing games. pretty good wheel in all honesty and does the job
Same here after 4 years of having the TMX
@@Blown_engine been thinking of getting the tmx pro cus I just returned my t80 and wanted to upgrade. The t80 worked well for 6 months never broke or anything no issues. Hoping better for the tmx
@@zoofl8947 If you really want an upgrade, you should definitely go for the T300 RS GT Edition. It's much better than the tmx
@@vilshe7449 on a budget, $250 lol
@@zoofl8947 Alright dude, the tmx is still a good wheel in my opinion
My Thrustmaster T150 has served me well the past 5 years, and it would still serve me good. But i decided to upgrade - The rubber grip has gotten very sticky, and the table mount screw isn't the most stable but the quality of the internals is solid for the price. The plastic grip of the screw is easy to break when installing the wheel on a table, especially if you want to really tighten up the wheel on your desk. - After it broke two times, I've been pretightening the screw into then mount and just slid the wheel onto the table.
The Force Feedback definetly isn't the best, far from it. But for beginners or casual Sim-driving/racing the wheel is perfectly good. I played on 60-70% force feedback strenght most of the times, because i had a wobbly desk, but also because the force feedback didn't clip as much and preserved detail. Even though it lost strength because of it, it made much more fun to play with more details.
The Thrustmaster eco-system also comes in handy if you're having fun in the long run, because you could get the three pedal set and the shifter as you mentioned. And if you want to upgrade the wheel base, it isn't a problem because the eco-system also works on other wheel-bases. That's a way to save a little bit of money if you want to upgrade to more serious stuff.
The buttons after five years have shown it's age though, at least on my t150. - Some of them were double-clicking or even triple-clicking on some occations, which made it really annoying to do actions (for me, turning on lights in Euro Truck Simulator 2). It still was usable, but with the other issues i had (sticky grip and damaged screw), it made it somewhat annoying to use. - Put some kind of bicycle grip tape on the wheel to prevent that, or use it when it's needed. Another solution would be to get sim-racing/driving gloves, although it deminishes the already weak force feedback of the wheel.
All in all, it's a solid racing wheel that could last 10 years, if handeled properly and having the luck on not getting a faulty product, which can happen to anyone, if we're being real here.
I personally had more issues with Logitech-wheels with the quality side of things. My Driving Force GT started smoking after the FFB-motor died, and friends of mine had software-problems with the G27 and also the G29 on the PC. - But I've also had some other friends around me that are very happy with the Logitech wheel.
In conclusion, if you can get the g29 for 200€ (new), go for it. The build quality is better compared to the T150, and the force feedback seems even or a tad bit stronger than the one of the T150.
On the other hand, if you can get the T150 Pro (with the 3-pedal set) for around the same price, I'd personally go for that one, simply because of the upgradability path and my previous experiences with both companies' wheels.
I hope i helped you guys with that. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Do you have experience with T300?
@@pasztorferenc6741 No I'm sorry, I don't have any experience with it. I got myself the Thrustmaster TS-PC Racer used in new condition for 350€. - You can compare it to the Thrustmaster T-GT or the Thrustmaster TS-XW.
will swapping the t150 steering wheel to different steering wheel affect the ffb too? seems like the most common complains is the steering became sticky after some times
@@marcocretella9348 Thank you for answering
@@zl_390 I haven't tried it, but I've heard that the force feedback feels weaker when going for a bigger steering wheel rim. - If you do that, I'd get a similar sized wheel in your case.
Other than that, I'm not sure how the force feedback gets affected when swapping the wheel.
Found your channel the other day. Man, I wasn't expecting this level of quality from an 8,000 subscriber channel. Well done!
Welcome aboard! :)
8k?! Whaaa?
I have had my G29 for 6 years now without any problems and I use it quite frequently. Best purchase I have ever made
For what games do you use it?
@@victor_734 Mostly Euro Truck Simulator and Beamng
Some G29 advantages you didn't cover:
-although the force feedback is loud on rough terrain, the actual spinning of the wheel is smoother and quieter when driving slowly or on smooth surfaces
-the force feedback can spin the wheel much faster than the T150 can, very noticeable when drifting
-the G29's base is low profile and flat on the top, if you have an adjustable screen you can set it up so you can see your gauges through the wheel itself, just like in a real car
-the stiff brake pedal is a feature, it only gets hard to push at about 65% of the travel, simulating the feel of the hydraulics in the brake pedal of a real car, it feels really good when you get used to it
I own a TMX pro and the T3PA pedals have a conical rubber stop that's very similar to the G29 pedals. When the G29 was $400, the Thrustmaster wheels were a bargain but that's not the case now when the G29 is much more premium feeling and has more buttons.
I did a pretty common ball bearing mod to my TMX/T150 which replaced the plastic belt rollers and greatly reduced friction. The FFB feels more detailed and spins faster than stock, almost comparable to the G29 speed. But again, for the same price the G29 is a much better deal
Also, you can't use a handbrake on the g29 if ur on ps5 or ps4
kirkumii why is that?
@@cassiusbramley8829 because it just doesn't support one
@Gustav have you ever driven a real car?
I'm not here so i can buy either the g29 or the t150, I'm here because of the level of production that you put in your videos, keep it up bro! 💯
Thank you Moh! :)

I’ve had the t150, absolute great wheel for the price! Soon gonna upgrade to the thrustmaster tx leather edition. Going to install magnet padel shift mod on that one
The tx leather edition is worth all the money I can say
fuck
I cant use a logitech wheel because i spin it so fast the wheel it always gets misaligned
@@kingofclean1983 i had one for 4 years and the list of problems goes on, going to a TM belt driven is worth it! i have the t300rs gt and ordered the csl dd, im ready for another huge jump in quality
@@SSmallwood best affordable wheel T300RS I have one no problems
3:37 I wont let that mis shift go unnoticed
I was looking for this comment
Yesss this is perfect i was wondering which was better to buy. Thank you
Glad it was helpful :)
Pls tell me which is better t150 or g29?
Awesome, I was waiting for this one! Great video!
Thank you! Hope it was helpful :)
@@OCRacing it really was, I think I'm gonna go with the t150 for the better ffb and since you can buy it for 140€ here. I'll probably pick up a used set of t3pa pedals since the pro isnt priced that well
The torsion spring in the brake pedal of my T150 snapped after just 2 weeks of use. Luckily, my local hardware store had some. I walked into GameStop and found the T150 for 150 bucks and bought it on impulse in 2022 and thus began my sim racing career. I love it for the cost.
Me and my heavily modified G 920: hmmm
I've been looking at racing wheels for a long time and have just not been able to pull the trigger on buying one. This has to be the best, most comprehensive, comparison that I have seen.
My vote is for the TMX Pro.
I have a Thrustmaster T150 basic model, I agree that the pedals are poor quality, but I like the feel of the wheel. I mounted it on a playseat challenge and have been quite happy with the setup for starting out on sim racing.
I have the T150 pro model it's definitely worth the extra 50$
Well done! This video really helped me make a final decision so much appreciated.
I've been waiting for you to make this video for forever now. But Its finally out now about to watch it for the first time. Thanks OC
Hope you enjoyed Reagan :)
@@OCRacing you actually replied wow. That's dope
@@rz6634 I reply as often as I can 😅
@@OCRacing ok sick. That’s double now
My favorite part about the Thrustmaster is cross compatibility. I started on a TMX (Xbox version of T150) and slowly started to get a shifter, new pedals, and I didn’t have to get a whole new wheel. And when I had the cash, I could just get a new TX base and it worked with all my old stuff
I think this is my plan.
yeah the fact that thrust master literally has universal parts that can be used for all of their wheels is the main selling point for me 😂
im gonna definetly do your route, the shifter and new pedals are just ridiculously expensive 😂😂 wish i got the pro with the clutch pedal
I was also considering both but ultimately went with the T150 mostly because it costs 46% less in my region (while the G29 costs as much as the T150 Pro model).
Me too
It's the opposite for me, the Logitech one is 200 while the thrust master is not even sold as much so the price can go up, plus I get a discount so it's. even less than 200
@@SpecterNeverSpectator how did you get discount?
same, i got one for 119 pounds which was lucky
Same
Nice work! The little humor inserts were right up my alley.
Liked and subbed
Thanks for the informative video! Really helped me understand some more about choosing an entry level wheel for a drifting sim 🤘 brotha
Another great upload. I just recently bought the G920. Thank you for the awesome quality content you're putting out. I'm looking now into purchasing a shifter.
What shifter are you looking for?
@@OCRacing I was thinking about something better than the Logitech add on. Your videos could probably point me in the right direction. The th8a is an option but I was also looking for any other H-pattern shifter that wouldn't cost as much.
@@OCRacing I see based on your videos that you tend to lean towards sequentials, any particular reason? Just curious... Keep up the great work!
@@manuelhernandez2017 I would actually prefer an H-pattern shifter over a sequential any day. I got sent a sequential shifter from Thrustmaster, hence why I use it. lol
Had a T300 which crapped out after about a year.
Since I didn’t have much faith in Thrustmaster after that, I bought a G29 as a replacement .
Couple of years later it’s still going strong.
I pretty much only use it for Gran Turismo and Dirt Rally 2.0 on my PS4 Pro, so it’s perfect for my needs.
the thrustmaster belts have issues - logitech is build to last
Appreciate the comparison as I'm looking into getting a setup for GT7.
Hey man, I'm brand new looking at steering wheels to drive. I just wanted to let you know that I've watched like 6 of your videos lol, you're the best youtuber for this info. Thanks homie.
You know its gonna be good when you get my attention before the video starts 😅
My first ever wheel was a Thrustmaster T80, and it lasted me like 2 years (pretty good for the quality lmao), but the plastic pedals were the first ones to have problems on it. When I upgraded to a "beginner" T150, I intentionally chose the T150 Pro, and it was well worth the extra $50 for the T3PA pedals!
I returned the T150 Pro after a week specifically because of the T3PA. Lots of wobble. Squeaks constantly. Of course you can take it apart and lube it but that's something I refuse to do with something that's 3 days old and is under warranty.
And there are no spikes for carpets. It's ridiculous at any price point. But you get the same pedals with the T300RS as well...
G29 has wheel wobble and the brake pedal clicks. Returned that too.
I tried to upgrade from a Logitech DFGT and I honestly think there are no wheels worth considering under 300 dollars. Which is an issue because I don't use a wheel enough to justify buying a more expensive wheel.
@@ast5515 smthn wrong on your end bro my brakes fine and wheel doesnt wobble
@@ast5515 probably because your Force feedback is high asf, its a big problem with the G29 series and TMX/t150
@@Evosti his setup is just wrong bro wasted mad money, if you're getting a beginner cheaper wheel like the tmx or G29 dont have high ass ffb cuz it will wobble no matter what, plus the pedals arent that bad other than the fact they look like they wont last a while 😂
@@sheddy22 You're making assumptions.
I never maxed out the force feedback on my DFGT and I certainly didn't come close do maxing out either the T150 Pro or the G29.
Both the wheel wobble and the clicking brake pedal are known issues on the G29.
The squeaky pedals are a known issue with the T150 Pro.
Just because yours is fine (or more likely you're blind and deaf and don't notice obvious problems), doesn't mean none of them have issues.
The effort put into these videos is unreal, keep it up bro
Will do 👍
Thank you! This was very helpful!
I have had the the T150 for .... like 2 years now and it's a pretty good wheel I have a friend who has a Logitech and he said that its pretty good all depends on what you like
Having owned the G29 for many years I can recommend it as a started wheel as it has everything you need out of the box with a good pedal set bundled in and the FFB is not bad at all, but if you are into sim racing in any big way, try to stretch to the Thrustmaster T300RS GT which is sometimes on sale and it a great step up from both the G29 and T150 etc...In fact a huge jump up...Good video...
Or the TX Leather edition, the rim itself feels alot better than the T300RS GTs rim and its the same price. Obviously the Leather edition is for Xbox or PC while the T300RS GT is for PS and PC so ye.
@@AceYoPro bit the t300rs has 1080• degrees rotation
@@Wolviest Doesn’t really matter all that much if im honest, You don’t pretty much ever need more than 900 degrees.
@@AceYoPro Ik but the TX leather edition cost almost 2x more than t300 😅
@@Wolviest When did it do that lol? Either you live in a really unfair country or I haven’t been paying attention. It’s basically the same price here in Norway.
Thank you good man ive been looking for a sim racing setup for around $1000 which includes the rig and everything i couldnt decide what wheel to get and you helped me decide to get the g29
Glad I could help :) thanks for watching
i have the g29 ive had it almost four years was thinkin a tmx would be an upgrade but with the quality of your video im most likely going to stay with it and switch to a different wheel on the base like an nrg or something thanks man i really appreciate it
I just ordered a G920 last night! Super hyped to get it in, only paid 150 and it has the shifter!
Sheeesh
G920 is good and i removed that black rubber and feels better
WHAT HOW WHERE
@tml where did you ordered it from? 😳
Where?!?
long time TMX Pro owner here:
i really love my TMX but my friend owns the Logitech G920 and the modability keeps it alive way longer
I'd say another thing going for the Logitech are additional buttons. Not necessarily as far as racing goes, but in ETS2/ATS it's nice to have the little wheel for cruise control, or the +/- buttons for the retarder. And the FFB is not as important in those either.
A demonstration of both wheels' noise levels would've been nice, that's the main thing I'm worried about - hearing "BRRRRR" every time I turn
Nice comparison ! Personnally I don't own any, I still rely on my old Logitech G27, but the G27 being the predecessor of the G29, and having used the G29 for a few minutes at a demo stand a few years ago, I prefer Logitech
I have had my T150 for well over 5 years and it's been a fantastic wheel. Someday I will upgrade to a T300 wheel but that someday might be in the far future
Have mine for over 5 years too. Only issue is the rubber on the wheel almost completely gone.
Yeah, about the rubber, I ran with gloves, and my holds up pretty well.
skip the T300 and move to direct drive directly
I decided to go with the G29 because of the overall quality. I don't find it noisy, when I was experimenting with gain and damping settings the only time it sounded like grinding gears was when the ffb signal was actually clipping. Yes, gears. They have small end play and friction. I get the best experience when I turned everything damping-related to 0 and upped the gain to the point of near-clipping. The pedals were ok-ish, they are sturdy and withstand abuse. Default brake spring could use an upgrade and there third party upgrades available. Bad thing about pedals is the potentionmeters and their lack of resolution. Default potentionmeters hooked to the wheelbase get 8bit resolution. If you purchase an adapter that let's you hook up the pedals directly to the usb port the resolution is amped up to 10bit = 1024 points from 0-100%.
Man your just amazing, i hope one day I will be able to afford such wheels, I'm just watching them cos ur reviews are down to earth and honest.
Can you make a video where you rate all the driving games you played with the wheels and put them in a ranking list?
The Logitech G29/G920 is by far the best entry level wheel. The leather rim looks great and even after a year of daily use its still looks like new. In fact, it still smells like rich leather. The FFB is pretty good and even a bit stronger than the TMX/T150 (2.2NM vs 2NM). If you don't have any experience with other wheels you will be blown away with the feedback, even with the slight notchy feelings of the gears. I was completely happy with my G920, untill the CLS DD came out. Just 4 weeks and I will finaly get mine.
the Logitech is a rattling low quality pos to be honest. I bought it and returned it within hours. The rattle would not subside even if I decreased the force feedback in ACC, clunks a lot and the tiny wheel just makes it feel like a toy. Fanatec with the BMW 1:1 ratio replica wheel is fantastic, or the thrustmaster 1:1 F1000 wheel too.
@@DTFFP did you get another wheel
@@f9oeks965 I went with the thrustmaster ts-xw with the sparco steering wheel. Big difference and you get a replica steering wheel so it’s full size. Logitech is 2.2 nm force, while this thrustmaster is 6.4. Great wheel for entry level.
Definitely. When the G29 was $400 and the TMX/T150 pro were $250, it was a bargain. Nowadays they cost the same and the G29 just feels more premium and has more buttons
@@DTFFP Bro u comparing a $150-250 wheel with a $500-1000 wheel.
Shathefakap 💀
Just watched three of your videos, you produce some great content. keep it up man , subbed
I appreciate it :)
My first setup was a t150 with a logitech g29 shifter. You just need some wires, soldering stuff, and an arduino microchip. The code is very easy to find.
I use a Playseat Evolution GT with a G29, Logi h-shifter, and TM Handbrake(drifting). In my point of view, I would def take the Logitech wheels. And besides, it IS pretty hard to drift with 1080 degrees, even with all the force feedback.
tbh, on sim racing it's not about the looks it's about the performance, also personally i prefer the rubber on my t150 and i feel like i have better grip with it. And the better ffb is a huge thing for me
thanks for the comparison i was on the fence about them
👍
This is a great video, you really helped me to choose! :)
As for the build quality and sturdiness of Logitech wheels, I have owned a Logitech G25 since it's release and used it heavily and it still works perfectly. Only issues I've had have been with the shifter. I've had to take it apart and tighten the inside screws few times and once I had to solder a piece of wire to the switch that controls reverse. I have heard that some G27s and G29s suffer from overheating when playing for long perioids, but this can be fixed by cutting fer holes to the case or even adding fans.
As for what you said about the Logitech pedals and the "too stiff" brake pedal, I see that as an upside and have even replaced the springs so that the pedals are even stiffer.
Finally, Logitech pedals can be disassembled and mounted upside down (which I have also done) very easily.
one big reason i’m getting tmx is cause with thrustmaster later on after having t3pa pedal and shifter i can upgrade just the wheel and not have to get a whole new setup
Isn't it possible to use the Thrustmaster peripherals with adapters while using the Logitech wheel?
I've since upgraded to a TS-PC base from TM, but when I owned a G29 I had a blast with it, however, one major gripe I had with it, was the paddle shifters, the way they're designed meant I'd slam my finger tips off them anytime I'd try to drift.
Must do Mod on the Logitech Pedals: remove the rubber block inside the break spring, replace it with a cut flipflop (3.5cm) piece - exchange the clutch spring with the throttle spring - reverse mount it = best low budget pedals u can have
Using T150 using the T3pa pedal for 3 years and it still working well, just little cosmetic damages like the rubber grip on the wheel after hours of uses and i have tape it to improve my grip, I glad that previous PS4 wheels will be compatible with PS5 as well
good to know
I've had the Logitech Driving Force Pro for over 20 years now and apart from the wheel being loud(which I don't remember if it has always been or if it got louder) and the force feedback not being great(which is to be expected). I have had 0 issues with it
You actually can use the logitech shifter as a standalone. It just requires a dongle.
yes true
On console?
@@festa289 I don’t believe so
i will be doing this to my t150
Fact check, true,
I really like using it with my keyboard
Thanks bro helped a lot and fixed the issue
great vid mate, keep it up bro
Thank you God I wish companies would post stuff like this. Like just simply stating how each model differs slightly from the others. So insightful 👏 thanks
I have owned both. I started off with the T150 when i was getting into iracing before i was sure it was something i would continue to do for a long time. after i fell in love with sim racing, i upgraded to the g920 simply mounted to my desk with pedals on the floor. today, the g920 is mounted on an Obutto Revolution cockpit and i have a machined wheel adapter and 35cm deep dish wheel on it, deep dish paddle shifters, I have mods for improved feel h pattern and sequential modes on the driving force shifter, and i also have modded the brake and clutch pedals for improved feel. even umodded, my vote would be logitech because it has less of a "toy" look and feel about it even though the "genuine leather" wrapped around the wheel definitely feels like plastic.
You modded literally everything XD
You are the best CZcamsr ever! You answered all my questions on these steering wheels and I have bought the G29! THANK YOU!
I'm currently in no state to get myself a new set and I'm working with an old trustmaster Xbox360/PC wheel (2 pedals no force feedback, or any feedback for that matter) what kinda works good enough for now, I'm here for the amazing content
though and for whenever I'm able to get me a nice new Logitech or again trustmaster one. Awesome vid dude.
About trucksims, the buttons on G29 are far more important than the extra 90 degrees rotation on both sides on T150. The two biggest issues with G29 are the deadzone in the middle and rattling which comes from loose gears
the g29 and g920 sounds like its breaking under load of the FFB especially if you try to counter steer or such. it sounds like there's gears in there and its making ratatatatatata sounds everytime and feels really jagged in ur hands.
Because there are gears in there
That feel is horrible to me, didn't like it at all, along with the central dead zone
Great job on 8k subscribers!
Thank you! We're getting up there... :)
You deserve more
MY Thrustmeter Tmx Stripped the pully gear only after 6 months of use. I just recently picked up a Logitech g920 Wheel and its holding up great.
The t150 is good if u race a very generalized car list like something from every type of series, it’s thin rim makes it surprisingly good for formula cars, when I upgraded to a 300 I was honestly shocked at the difference in thickness, although those rubber grips can wear away so I recommend gloving up, the rubber is much MUCH thinner than the t300
4:20 wrong with a adapter the Logitech shifter will plug directly into the PC allowing you to use it with a thrustmaster or any other wheel, I know this because I bought the Logitech shifter with my t150 and later upgraded to the thrustmaster shifter.

So is the shifter usb?bc I'm on ps4 and want to know if it'll work?
@@xanderledford1401 the Logitech shifter has an adapter to turn it into usb, idk if it will work on PS4, you have to do some more searching
@@xanderledford1401 If you have the g29 the shifter will plug into the wheel base then the wheel base plugs into the ps4 via usb as normal, but if you are using a t150 im not sure it would work with the adapter on ps4.

Great vid earned a follow ! :)

Awesome review... thanks!
Thanks for the review :>
I’m looking for my first wheel, ultimately for me it’s about price range. Also deciding if I want a more expensive one from the get go, because I may feel inclined to replace a cheaper one at some point
If price is the main factor, try and find a second hand G27 in good condition. I did this and it has been very good. Spring upgrades (pedals) are available too at a reasonable price. There is one potential weakness - there is a small optical sensor wheel which can fail after a lot of use, but there's a guy on the net making a nice brass replacement for this, so it's repairable. If you want something really good from the start - probably get the new Fanatec CSL-DD. People seem to like it (I have not tried it) and it's fairly cheap for a DD wheel base. Still going to cost a bunch for the whole setup though.
I’ve recommended 3 people to this channel already, the quality is out of this world. CZcamss algorithm has gotta favor quality over quantity. Because even on the 99$ wheel you give it all you got. Thank you so much for making such great content!
Yess I have been waiting for this
Before worrying about 4k res, how bout some 60fps? The chop in this is REAL lol
One point regarding shifters: you can get adaptors that allow the Logitech shifter to be used as a USB device, so it doesn't plug directly into the wheel, but into the pc. Currently using one with my Thrustmaster TX and it's worked without a hitch since I upgraded
Yup, I forgot to mention that. Although last time I checked, the adapter was going for $40? Not sure if that’s still the case.
@@OCRacing Idk if they offer an offical one (at least where I live), but I got one on eBay for £20 (Equates to around $30 or so). My thought process is that with the adaptor you can get a more budget shifter that can be made better with those mods from gmod. Great video, you're making content that's on par with Chris Haye's (Ik you probably get that a lot, but it doesn't make it less true).
Does this work on Xbox
@@georgesims4112 It doesn't unfortunately. From memory though I remember seeing something called Drivehub that allows you to mix and match gear, could be worth looking into.
@@georgesims4112 i hate millwall
Was a bit late to the premiere but nonetheless a great comparison video.
Thank you! I may consider premiering more videos in the future, I think it was a lot of fun
Great video dude keep it up🍕
Very professional. Keep it up man. Try to get ahold of a t248 to compare with other wheels. It’s in between beginner and novice. Cheers
If you are going for a better wheel than t150, you should buy t300 instead, because its much better with belt driven ffb, and it costs almost the same as the t248
everyone: _fighting over who’s better_
me who uses a g27 knowing i can get twice more buttons if i upgrade to a newer logitech wheel: *laughs in god mode*
He’s too powerful
(me on console so it doesnt matter anyway)
I raise you my Driving Force GT
Is the g27 still worth it? I'm planning on picking one up for my first wheel
@@alexanderstormdahl2562 yeah but the dfgt doesn't have the clutch so you'd need to also replace the pedals while i'd need to only replace the wheel base
so *HA*
As a thrustmaster fan whos owned a Thrustmaster T80, TMX, Tx leather edition, T150. I can say the force feedback and feel of the wheels feel amazing another thing to note is you cant compare a standart t150 to a g29 you have to compare the t150 pro. Thrustmaster has been amazing high quality good racing feel and realistic ffb.
Having used both, I would say that the ffb on the logitech wheels are better than the tmx, although I have had my tmx for about 3½ years now and wear might have affected it
I have the G29, and from my experience, the TMX and the T150 has better button placement. On the G29 I have to reach for the buttons and in F1 this is crucial because there is so much buttons to press in a race, where I feel the TMX and T150 has much easier button placement and reach.
I think I'm gonna get the logitech one as my first wheel ever
Get the tmx pro and a pair of driving gloves. Then you won’t care about the lack of leather on the wheel. The belt driven FFB alone trumps the Logitech.
Gavin gets it. The only reason to buy a ffb wheel is for the ffb!
a lucid man.
It's not even fully belt driven and the force feedback is stronger on the g29. I have the t150 btw.
it's all about the precise response of the FFB, for me, the Strength doesn't really matter primally for circuit races (F1, GT3 etc)
@@Kirito2058. that still goes for the g29 since the gear driven system gives you faster and more precise ffb.
Really helpfull. Big thanks.
Glad it helped ☺️
I bought my T150 six years ago and it works but the cable for the pedals stopped working recently, overall very worth it and back then it costed 160$
I haven't used a Logitech wheel. But I've had two thrustmaster wheels and they both crapped out within a month. One even lasted for just one f1 race weekend (100% event length). It worked fine for the first hour or so then it started registering split second left turns at full lock at random. I noticed it was also spewing alarming amounts of rubber dust out of the back of the wheel itself. So I am extremely weary of getting another thrustmaster. In a world of electronics designed to fail I'll take the Logitech any day.
Also, if I didn't know any better I'd think "Thrustmaster" was an elaborate sex toy. I imagine some sort of jackhammer mechanism with several attachments that let you select the level of girth you'd like to recieve. Maybe a gimp suit comes with it. Do you think there was a mix up at the trademark office headquarters? And now there's a dildo out there called the Race Wheel 9000? And do you suppose it craps out after 1 use like their sim racing counterpart?
Seems I got a little off topic. Fuck it. I'm posting anyway. I gotta quit using the youtube comments section as a convenient creative writing/journal entry platform. And POST
So that's what she meant when she told me to buy her the Race Wheel 9000 😳😳
I absolutely love the chaotic energy in this. It’s what I call fucking brilliant
Great comment mate
I don't know what I just read...
BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!!
i died after reading the first sentence of the second paragraph. I had the same impression when i first heard of thrustmaster
Thrustmaster should send you a T248. Would love to see how that stacks up against the Logitech series, especially since it price matches the g923
‼️‼️‼️‼️
Great review. I had the Red Legend Thustmaster with the jumpcord "force feedback" a while ago. The clamping mechanism seems to be the same as the T-150, as well as the new T-248...
This failed way sooner than i excpected it to.
Recycling parts, and not including better quality pedals was what retered me to buying a G29.
again a wonderful video man! :)
Thanks Sri :)
i got the thrustmaster t150 and it broke the same day i got it and even before it broke it really wasnt that great of a wheel , i got the g29 now and im much happier with the g29 then the t150
it's 2021, the fact that there are still gear driven wheels is sad. Let's hope Fanatec's CSL DD spurs more competition for DD wheels.
Dude, it is cheap and realiable, good for beginners.
The gigachad move would be combining the T150 with the Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Throttle Quadrant
Great comparison. You helped me a lot. I choose the T150. :)
Would recommend the T150 PRO. Do get the pro the pedals and the other version are shit. Yes the Logitec might be nicer to look at but thats not what you'll be doing. You get a better racing feel out of the Thrustmaster hardware. If you end up loving simracing you might end up buying add on's. The shifter for example on the logitec is a toy. The Thrustmaster is heaps better. If you end up upgrading over time you can bring the pedals and shifter along for any othter thrustmaster wheel you buy as it all interacts. As i read here before if you got a bit more money to spend the T300 GT edition is a great bundle. But the really isn't anything wrong with the T150 pro. At certain discounts i've seen through the years its an absolute steal.
I will get Logitech thank you for the tip!!!
And thank you for watching 😊
@@OCRacing looking forward to the next video you make 😁
@@Team_SpaceX there are quite a few waiting in line 😉
@@OCRacing yay!
The tnx has way better ffb
My first wheel (and the one I use) is a Logitech G923, which I won in a giveaway. I love it. It's been a great introduction to sim racing, and I hope to upgrade to a better one on a few years.
Imagine you win another giveaway for a better wheel
@@OCRacing My luck was insane, 1 of a hundred thousand other people. If I win another I'd be over the moon.
Thanks for the comparison video, I like the t150 more, I feel that the design is cleaner. I'ma get one
