It does not matter if you have the coolest or the most affordable racing simulator seat and stand because, at the end of the day, it is the wheel and pedals that matter. Speaking of which, if you are thinking of refreshing your wheel/pedal setup for PlayStation or PC, well then you are in luck because Thrustmaster has just the right gear for you.
The Thrustmaster T598 Racing Steering Wheel and Pedal Set, as it is called, offers the next level of racing immersion enabled by a Direct Axial Drive motor. This new generation of Direct Drive boasts a unique zero-cogging technology that allows for perfect, clear wheel rim motion. This results in high-fidelity Force Feedback that lets you feel every detail instantly with greater precision and intensity. Translation: ultimate level of realism.
It further touts 5 Nm constant torque and super-boosted effects with ultra-low latency of 5 ms. Other notables include high-frequency vibrations technology, a race dash screen for race info and adjustment of settings, a detachable 11.8”/30 cm sports car wheel rim with mag-shift paddle shifters, and a 2-pedal metal pedal set that’s upgradeable to 3-pedal version.
If you ready up your driving simulation game, the Thrustmaster T598 Racing Steering Wheel and Pedal Set is ready for your taking if you have US$499.99 to drop. It is available from Best Buy. The wheel and pedal set is compatible with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 as well as PC.
