Using in-game settings to make the brakes more sensitive and adding a bit of deadzone to avoid my resting foot doing any unwanted braking made the world of difference too. Thankfully, even with my apparently less than optimal setup, I eventually managed to find that sweet spot of being able to rest my foot on the brake and getting a better angle on it as to not require as much force. But if you have the space and enthusiasm to do so, then the Thrustmaster T248 is shaping up rather nicely for a proper setup. Realistic? Perhaps, but very tricky to get right without dedicating a huge space at home purely to a racing rig. Another spring is included if you want to go even harder (!), but that's one for proper racing chair users only for sure. There is an option to make the spring a little softer by removing a circular block, but this only made things slightly easier. You can flip them around, but that would only make the angle even steeper. The angle of the pedals exacerbated this situation and that's on the default setting. So much so that using a regular wheeled chair at my desk saw me getting pushed away from my desk every time I used the brake unless I was pulling myself into the desk via the wheel - exhausting. I needed to get closer mainly because sitting at a higher angle (than a racing rig chair), meant the amount of pressure required to use the very stiff brake pedal was pretty extreme. I found the best option was to put a small but sturdy box behind the pedal base against the wall in order to bring the pedals closer to me. If your desk has a rear rail near the floor, or is against the wall, that will help. It can be screwed into a racing rig if you're going for the all-in enthusiast setup though. On hard floors, the rubber grips are no help at keeping the pedals in place - you might fair better if you're on a carpet. Getting the pedal base to sit still is an altogether different story though. You can forget about trying to rest this on your lap right now thanks to the sheer power of the Force Feedback system.Ĭlamps under the wheel do a great job of securing it to a flat surfaces and I just about managed to maneuver past the metal frame near the edge of the underside of my own desk, but it was a close one. The Thrustmaster T248 clearly wants to be enjoyed in a proper racing-rig seating position, but we've tested it at a standard desk as that's how most players use a racing wheel. (Image credit: Thrustmaster T248) Setting up Otherwise, the corner displays on the game screen itself might be less risky to take a look at. How useful you'll find it all depends on your seating position, as you'll need the wheel to be quite high up on your line of sight to make it easy to glance at while driving. You can adjust it to show various items like speed, race position, lap times, RPM, and gear number. The LED telemetry display is a feature that you won't find on cheaper gaming steering wheels and supports a range of in-race features. The rest of the wheel is all plastic, but it looks and feels seriously robust and far from cheap. The wheel is covered with a nice leather material that feels grippy and solid enough to really wrestle with - and you'll need to do just that on more chaotic racers like Dirt 5. The pedals themselves are metal, but the arms and base are all plastic. The update will arrive soon for Google Stadia.Instead of a standard two-pedal setup you're getting three here, giving you the option of clutch control in addition to the accelerator and brake.
