What customers say about "Key Specs"

Thrustmaster T80 Officially Licensed Racing Wheel for PS4/PS3 (also works on PC)

Overall the steering wheel feels great, it has paddle shifters, controller buttons, directional arrows, options and share button, etc.
Love it, great feel, nice sensitivity, good button layout. Great wheel for the price.
The buttons are remappable in some games, which is great because I'm used to using O for e-braking.
Buttons on the wheel are good and the wheel feels very smooth.
The other buttons feel a little on the cheap side and don’t really have the greatest feel but work fine.

Thrustmaster T150 Force Feedback Racing Wheel for PS4/PS3/PC

The wheel is belt driven along with gears for the force feedback. This wheel feels much more realistic and less choppy than the Logitech wheel.
Excellent force feedback and steering feel. It is noticeably smoother and more realistically that Logitech's wheel.
The force feedback mechanism in the T150 feels like it is directly out of a $400+ wheel.
The arrangement and layout of the buttons on the steering wheel are intuitive and easy to use -- even when using this wheel with PS VR where you can't visually see the buttons.
The pedals are nice and responsive and the feedback from the wheel is strong.

What customers say about "Connection"

Thrustmaster T80 Officially Licensed Racing Wheel for PS4/PS3 (also works on PC)

This is my first racing wheel. It was easy to connect but required more patience to update and use.
Connects instantly to the PS4, really no setup required other than plugging in the supplied five foot undetachable USB cable.
It might also be helpful to note i was using usb 2.0 instead of 3.0 but i have yet to try it on 3.0. Easy connect.
There's no wireless connection to the PS4.
The USB cord to the PS4 is also too short, considering most people have a large screen HDTV. The USB cord is only 7 or 8 feet long.

Thrustmaster T150 Force Feedback Racing Wheel for PS4/PS3/PC

Connected the steering wheel and the light was on and I was able to play it with the free Dirt 2.0 demo.
I just connected it to the PC and it worked fine, then tried on the PS3 worked fine too.
Great wheel, very accurate and has a ton of movement. Force feedback works fine, connected to my pc and needed no setup to work in forza horizon 3.
Never worked. I tried connecting to several PS4s and it never picked it up.
Sent it back. Would never connect with the PlayStation.

What customers say about "Features"

Thrustmaster T80 Officially Licensed Racing Wheel for PS4/PS3 (also works on PC)

Good responsiveness, solid feel, and appropriate resistance.
Wheel have the features that most steering wheels should have.
Can run in controller mode with different sensitivity settings or as wheel with sensitivity and other parameters controlled from in game menu.
Very effectively attaches to most table surfaces.
Works great with most of my driving games, lacks some standard controller features.

Thrustmaster T150 Force Feedback Racing Wheel for PS4/PS3/PC

The pedals, though plastic, have a very solid construction.
The paddle shifters are metal and they have a very responsive "click" to them.
The only thing that you are sacrificing at this price point is the pedals. They seem decently built, but the brake pedal is a little weak.
The biggest con is that there are no "hard mounting" holes on the wheel or the pedals.
The steering wheel, though it is very rigid and firm, is clearly made of hollow plastic with two cheap rubber grips on it.
