ISR – Thrustmaster T150 Review for PC, PS3 & PS4

Darin Gangi and John Sabol of Inside Sim Racing present their review of the Thrustmaster T150 entree level wheel and pedal set.

This little brother of the Thrustmaster T500 and T300 is primarily aimed at the budget side of the steering wheel market.  Darin and John take a detailed look at the wheel and pedals before trying it out on both the PC and the Consoles. As usual, the ISR team share their personal opinions and end the show with the Pro and Cons list.

The new T150 wheel is aimed at the PlayStation 3 and 4 consoles but is also fully compatible with PC systems (PC compatible with Windows® 10/8/7/Vista/XP). Thrustmaster already provides the drivers at the http://ts.thrustmaster.com website.

The wheel is available in two versions. A blue T150 Force Feedback version and a red T150 Ferrari Wheel Force Feedback version that will only become available in Europe. The T150 Force Feedback and T150 Ferrari Wheel Force Feedback is available at a suggested retail price of €199.99 / $199.99 / £169.99 (taxes included).

Even though the T150 is marketed as a budget priced force feedback wheel, the new T150 is equipped with an impressive set of features.
