The Thrustmaster T150 is a racing wheel released by Thrustmaster in October 2015.
An entry-level force feedback racing wheel within Thrustmaster's racing wheel lineup, the T150 has a hybrid belt-pulley-and-gear-driven force feedback powered by a 2Nm motor. As with other Thrustmaster wheels, it has Thrustmaster's proprietary wheel quick release system and hall-sensor-based steering position tracking. There's an additional Mini-DIN port on the back for accessories.
The T150 is availbale in three packages. The base T150 comes with a wheel base, a steering wheel and a 2-pedal T2PA pedal set. The T150 Ferrari Wheel Force Feedback, which was released alongside the base T150, comes with a Ferrari-branded version of the standard steering wheel.[1] The T150 PRO, released in 2018, replaced the T2PA pedal set with a 3-pedal T3PA pedal set.
It has a Xbox-compatible model in the form of the TMX.
On PC, the T150 is compatible with games that support it, but requires the wheel to be in PS3/PC mode and have Thrustmaster's driver to be installed to work. The wheel's settings can be adjust within the control panel (See Thrustmaster Control Panel).
