Thrustmaster has announced the T150 Force Feedback Wheel which will be compatible with the PS4, PS3, and PC. There will be a standard edition and a Ferrari version, with the price for each being £169.99. The wheel itself measures 11 inches in diameter, a rotation angle adjustable from 270° to 1080°, and two sequential peddle shifters that are five inches tall.
The wheel is expected to release in October, though an exact date is unknown. Full details of the wheel can be found at the official site here.

11 inches of thrustmaster for £169.99 not ‘wheely’ a bargain i’ll stick my my traditional controller thanks.

The wheel should be good but the pedals look the same as the ones bundled with the TS300 which aren’t the best. The add on T3PA-PRO pedals, with the conical rubber brake mod, are tons better but cost about £150, worth it though.
I think the brake mod comes with the cheaper T3PA pedals (£90).

You can actually DIY mod the T300 pedal set yourself with a few purchased odds and sods in a DIY store for around a tenner, check YouTube.

I tried the mod but found the peddle too stiff, even after trimming the width of the rubber block. Definitely worth a go as it costs less than £10 for parts needed.

It hits a bit of a grey area doesn’t it. For 60 more you can get a T300RS, yet go down a model and you’ve got the T80 at 120 less. I’m not seeing the middle ground covered much. If they hit 100 – 130 they might be talking, but 169 is still pricey.

You’re comparing the T150’s RRP with the prices of the T300 and T80 – T100 would be a better comparison, as it has FFB – once they’ve got to the retailer. The T300 is £299.99 from Thrustmaster themselves and £270 on Amazon.

sounds like a terminator convention in here!!

True that its RRP yes, we can only hope the retailers price adjusts appropiately. A few retailers had the t300 for around 230 a short while back.
But as for the T100, it barely exists at any retailer from what I’ve seen, so I barely consider it an ‘available’ wheel anymore. Hopefully TM will actually bother to shift some T150s to UK retailers.

This is Thrustmasters answer to the Logitech DFGT simples. It’s not high end with the inclusion of induction motor force feedback with the T300 Thrusty or G25/7 Logi, but it’ll do a damn fine job and satisfy the majority

I’ve been looking for a mid-range wheel and this seems to tick most of the boxes considering the T100 has been seemingly discontinued. £160 is still a bit steep for me, but I’ll certainly keep an eye on it.
