What customers say
The Thrustmaster T248R is highly regarded in the mid-range market, primarily for its immersive performance features. Users consistently praise the Hybrid Drive system for delivering significantly stronger and more detailed force feedback than previous models, greatly enhancing immersion for both PlayStation and PC racers. A key value point is the included T3PM magnetic pedal set, celebrated for its precision and superior braking feel. While the integrated telemetry screen is a welcome addition, some users note that the wheel base construction feels less premium than expected. Despite minor build quality concerns, the overall consensus is that the T248 offers excellent feature value, making it a strong upgrade choice.
