This is it folks, I decided to lift the curtain and direct compare the offerings of Logitech and Thrustmaster with the Thrustmaster T248 and Logitech G923 all having their highs and lows described, as well as compared to the T150 the T300 and the G29 and G920 force feedback wheels.
Sim racing, casual racing, you just sit in a cardboard box making vroom vroom sounds? All are welcome.
No punches held back, just an honest review to help you decide what force feedback racing wheel set is the right choice for you. Race you to the finish!
Buckle up!

if its g923 vs t248, i think the t248 has more pros. better ffb, magnetic sensor on the pedals, the pedals are also well built. not to mention on the fly settings (ffb levels, rotation) with the lcd. but for the price, i think the g29 is still great. the t248 is in a tough spot lacking swappable wheels. i guess thrustmaster isn't planning to discontinue the t300 anytime soon, or at least they may have plans releasing an update to the t300.

@JukaVW 2 года назад

This is such a hard call. Why couldn’t Thrustmaster make the wheel leather then it would have been a done deal. I’m after a wheel and pedals for GT7 and I’m guessing the T248 was designed for the PS5 and future proof. More on the fence than I was now! Ha

@barefootgaming6265 2 года назад

I'm glad I could help add to your confusion JukaVW...lol. I never said I'd make it easy, I only promised honesty :D

@MikoYotsuya292 2 года назад

Yeah, weird decision. Thrustmaster could've just wrapped the plastic wheel with leather and changed those noisy plastic shift paddles with aluminum then called it a day. Would have been an instant buy over G29 for most beginner driving sim. Its just saving couple of bucks on their end

fantastic review ! g923 is currently $250 and t248 is $340 while t300rs is $440 - is g923 the best deal pit of these or is the t248 or 300ra worth the extra money ?

@Vakich 2 года назад

Too bad Logitech makes almost the same Wheel basically since g27 at least.

@barefootgaming6265 2 года назад

You're not wrong Vakich! Although the G27 is definitely louder (or mine was at least)!

@mrcrowley1977 2 года назад

Based on this comparison video and others I've watched I just pre-ordered the t248 Xbox version. It seems the bottom line is the t248 has better ffb which will make for more enjoyable driving and better gameplay. While there are other pros and cons it's impossible to overlook that one.

@barefootgaming6265 2 года назад

That's always the trick. Rarely is one a runaway "this one is the best" product, but hopefully the video did help you with what you were looking for. I hope you have a blast with you T248 Jamie!!

@taylorbertrim7625 Год назад

Funny iracing states 2.2nm for G923 and only 2nm for T248. Even if they were both 2 I don't know... Pretty close to be the difference maker, my reason was build quality and feel so I went opposite g923 T300 has 4nm of ffb

These are the two I’m stuck between. Lol. I have a ps5 so will be playing on there, I like both wheels but I feel like I’d prefer the leather of the g293 instead of the plastic of the thrustmaster.. Which one would you think would be better for ps5, the g293 or the thrustmaster?

@RyokoVT 2 года назад

I returned my T248 after two weeks. I despised the paddle shifters which I'm surprised you didn't show a recording of. The feel of the wheel was also just not what I expected for $500 CAD. The cheap feeling materials and the pedals lacking a solution for carpet really put me off. FFB felt.. fine, I guess. Not fine enough to make the other cons worth it though.

@ltwlof4967 2 года назад

i got the t248 for my partner since it was 100 dollars more than buying the upgraded pedals for my t300 and its better than the t150 it replaces.

G29/G923 torque: 2.1 nm T150 Torque: 1.9 nm T248: 3.23 Those are peak numbers, holding the peak is another thing… the T150 is pretty bad on holding the peak and speed, also fails to deliver details. The G29 was better at this. Never tested the T248. Sold my T150 a while ago and got a stronger wheel. CSL Elite .

@barefootgaming6265 2 года назад

It REALLY depends what you're looking for in a wheel Con James - as well as which model of each. For me personally, the Thrustmaster T300 scratches all of my itches, but mileage will vary depending on what is most important to you. In these wheel reviews I do my best to just list highs and lows of each, and hope that helps you decide which is right for you :)

As to the wheel I myself settled on? Honestly, I use the Thrustmaster T300 the most over either of these, but between the two I spend more time with the G923. I hope that helps Parsash2!

I was choosing between the TX and the 248. The TX is the Xbox version of the T300. I won't say you're wasting money on the 248. It is a good setup but for a $100 more, you can get the TX or T300 and be able to upgrade the steering wheel. You can't on the 248. Just thought I would throw that info in there. Great video!

I’m after my first wheel for gt7, I could not bear the noise of the flappy paddles on the t248 and the shifter puts the price WAY up… I also hate the design, much prefer a t300, the FFB and belt drive is a pro though…. the pedals seem better on the Logitech now, but is a noisy wheel, yet the H pattern shifter can be had for pennies… now they have sorted the pedals i am swaying more toward the g923… but they both seem toy like… and I don’t really have more than £300 to spend on a racing wheel for a game 🤷‍♂️ I’m seriously considering getting a used t300 off eBay 😕

@timothyjudsontaylorofficia9786 2 года назад

I bought a surplus unused g923 and am awaiting the AXC upgrades for the pedals along w mag shifter upgrade and h gate. having driven it stock, the wheel feels really quite good. the leather and metal feel good. The stock pedals do not shine, and the upgrades are cheap. You do the upgrades and you have a good solid platform. Maybe not the best, but very good.

@samuelchan9501 2 года назад

Imo I would say get neither. For the same price, you can find a T300 or TX in good condition and those are better in every way. I really wish that Thrustmaster would've just kept making the T300 and TX instead of spending resources on making an inferior wheel in the T248

Depends on what the person wants. Just stating and getting into it or going hard core and wanting the best. I think alot of people forget some just want to fave fun with a decent wheel and not have to bolt it to a dedicated rig.

But when it comes down to it all budget setups are crap. I can't wait to get the moza r9 and either the moza pedals or the vnm pedals but prolly moza.

@CirqueAlvis 2 года назад

Thank you for this comparison video, and the most important part of this is the build quality comparison, that a lot of videos (specifically G923 vs T248 comparisons) seem to neglect on talking about it. You saying that the T248 feeling like a toy compared to the G923 confirmed my suspicions on whether or not the T248 feels great-had suspicions because of how it's built mostly on plastic-and with that, I think I'll go with G923 for my first sim-wheel, I'd rather go for quality build than feedback accuracy because whenever I hold something that feels like a toy, I always worry that I might break it, especially with that kind of peripheral that makes you go full ham on and fight against a powerful motor. Again, thank you for this, I decide on getting a G923 in the future-or maybe an updated version of it, because it'll take a long time for me to get that amount of money haha. Edit: Also, that beauty and the beast intro was awesome lol.
