I got a t150 cause I read that the g29 had a lot of dead zone and a lot of rattle. That was the deal braker for me.
So I got a t150 pro, that was on sale on black Friday.
I previously have had 4 t300 that just broke in the first 5 days (no, I didn't had the strength at maximum. Not even close) or came broken out of the box. Or the pedals came broken. Just awful reliability. And we all know it's normal with these t300.
The wheel feels great when it works. But it will stop work sooner then later.
And it's not normal in every company like some people say.
How many of you had to send back to replace any other appliance? Tv, console, computer, fridge, washing machine. Imagine having to replace 4 washing machines from the same brand in a month.
And for the price of a t300 gt, cause you'll end up getting the t3pa, cause the normal pedals are horrendous, you put I bit more money and you'll get a Fanatec csl and you end up with a proper wheel and pedals.
With t300 you're buying a Fiat almost at the price of a Audi.
T300 is a expensive gambling and a no go and you can get a much better product for a bit more.
If it didn't broke so much, it would be a awesome wheel.
The t150 worked flawlessly out of the box, so that was a extra point.
The t150 is made from cheap plastic with cheap assembly. It feels like a cheap toy. When you drive, you feel the plastic vibrating all over the place, the buttons are cheap and loose and the D pad needs some strength to register presses.
It feels like a 2 dollar game pad. The buttons are really loose.
The rubber is too sticky, wish feels like it will wear out quick.
We are lucky they didn't build the wheel from cardboard boxes.
The clamp won't fit tables with more than 2 fingers thick. Thrustmaster being thrustmaster...
And we are talking about a 220 euros product more or less. So it's still a expensive cheap toy.
You get a ps4 almost for the same price with much more technology involved.
The ffb it's nice though. You feel the cogs a bit and it's not that smooth as the t300 but it's nice.
I tested with project cars 2 and with f1 2017.
It feels that the people designing the mechanics at Thrustmaster are really good, but the materials, assembly and quality control are awful, like some third world country plastic toy factory making cheap copies of some cheap toy.
The t3pa pedals are OK. The brake mod didn't fit properly and had to make some effort to put it in the right place.
The pedal set although being plastic it feels sturdy and heavy and the brake mod feels really sturdy. I don't think it's made by thrustmaster. It's solid build. Weird. But nice!
I still didn't have time to test the pedals with the mod.
The pedals plate it's made from some cheap metal league.
If you buy the standard version with the same pedals as the basic t300 like I had, it's awful. The brake is abysmal. But with a bit of yoga bed, you can make a mod. It's a shame they sell such toy with a so expensive wheel. And that the costumers can make it a better product with a bit of foam.
For a quick wheel till you move to some nice wheel, the t150 is OK.
