Opinions about Thrustmaster TMX Pro
Yandex.Market data
Advantages:
The steering wheel is fully consistent with the declared functionality. Among the main advantages: Rotation angle up to 900 degrees with range adjustment. Compatible with Xbox One. Steering system with a combined system with a belt pulley (which ensures that there is no play when turning the steering wheel). 12 different force feedback functions (quite realistic). Metallic paddle shifters. 3 metal pedals (Thrustmaster T3PA block) are already included (only in the "Thrustmaster TMX PRO" version, do not confuse with the usual "Thrustmaster TMX" with 2 plastic pedals !!! Take the PRO version right away). The block is quite large, legs are comfortable on it. Convenient steering wheel calibration program (I connected to a computer). In general, it is felt that the thing is of high quality.
Disadvantages:
1. Price. In the previous comment, they wrote that this is a plus. It's still a little expensive for me. But for such functionality, from modern models of steering wheels available on sale at the moment, perhaps not cheaper. If you want a good feeling, you have to pay. :-) 2. Lack of a gear lever. Very disappointing. Could at least screw the sequential lever on the side, because usually it is even on very penny steering wheels. In this model, gear shifting is carried out by paddle shifters. You can buy and connect an 8-speed box (Thrustmaster TH8A), for which, however, you also have to pay a considerable sum. 3. Rubber braiding is not all over the steering wheel, but only in the grip points. As an alternative to this steering wheel in this price category, I was looking for a Logitec G27, a gearbox (albeit a 6-speed one) is included in the kit, but its steering system is worse: without a belt, purely toothed. And on sale it can no longer be found. Is that second-hand.
Comment:
In general, I am happy as an elephant. I enjoy playing NFS 2015. Handlebars from a more expensive price category, probably only for completely maniacs with racing seats and 3 monitors. :-) I highly recommend this steering wheel. Despite minor flaws, I got pleasure and a lot of positive emotions from a quality item. :-)

Advantages:
Assembly, high angle of rotation, rubber braid, fits comfortably in the hand.
Comment:
In games, convenience just went to a different quality level and was a little surprised when you sit behind the wheel of a racing car in the game and if you left everyone behind from the gamepad, to put it mildly, you need to learn and tame some cars. After a big track with sharp turns, you get a little tired. Force feedback is powerful, you can feel any irregularities on the track, super great feeling.

Advantages:
- New cool feeling from the game, for the person who switched from the keyboard. You can ride more accurately and faster. The steering wheel partially transmits information about the road and the grip of the front wheels with it. - Nice and grippy rubber in the grip of the steering wheel. - Paddle paddles made of metal, well finished and painted, conveniently located (but move with the steering wheel), click clearly and pleasantly. - The fastening is reliable. - The pedals are comfortable, they don't slip too much. You can change the position of the overlays - move left and right or up and down by about a centimeter. You can remove the spacer under the gas pedal so that it is below the brake.In the model without PRO, the pedal set is noticeably worse and is prone to overturning (judging by the look and reviews).
Disadvantages:
- The base (can be forgiven) and steering wheel (can not be forgiven) are made of rough cheap plastic. If you squeeze the steering wheel from above, it will crunch. - The diameter is too small. - Outside the usual grip zone, this very plastic, besides the fact that it is not very pleasant to take, hands slide on it. - Buttons on the steering wheel, which you expect to see on the cheapest Chinese gamepad. The same hard plastic, the crosspiece clicks loudly, the other buttons are also not very pleasant to press. At the same time, in the race I can normally only reach two - yellow and red. Whoever has longer fingers will probably reach blue and green. - Feels some "grain" in the recoil. Apparently this is due to the use of a gear transmission. - A rather high mounting clamp may interfere with attaching the steering wheel to a table with a keyboard shelf (like mine). You have to hang it on this shelf, but it is not very reliable for sudden steering movements.
Comment:
Restricted the steering angle to 270 degrees like on cheap models. Due to the flimsy of my desk, the small size of the handlebars and poor grip on top and bottom. In general, I am satisfied, but I think that such a device should not cost so much. There would be normal alternatives .. Played so far only in Race Driver GRID. Later I will supplement the review with feelings from other games.

I have never used wire rudders before, only joystick used. I thought I would figure it out with the installation, but I was wrong. Everything is simple, it is attached conveniently and does not dangle. I was pleased with the quality of the case - a lot of metal. Even the pedals are so heavy, sometimes I press sharply in the game, but they don't fly up, it's okay. It seemed to me that the pedals are too high, as I adjusted myself, this is not a problem. The base of the wheel is quiet and does not get warm even if I hover for half a day in the game.

I have long wanted a steering wheel, but the price tag is mostly transcendental. Looked at the reviews, read the reviews, decided on the trastmaster. In general, the rules are worth the money. 1- there are all the necessary buttons on the steering wheel and you do not need to switch to the joystick. 2- quality is on par. No creaks or backlash. 3- this is my first wheel with such a powerful ffb. If the steering wheel just knocks out of the way from the road, this is an unreal feeling. 4- the pedals stand steadily on the floor, and I press sharply and with all my might sometimes, but I have never had this so that they fell over or something. Everything is fine. Recommend.

Advantages:
I love everything from the quality of the steering wheel to the pedals. To begin with, the steering wheel is rubberized, it is convenient to turn, my hands do not actually slip off and fall on the plastic part. The paddle shifters are made of metal and the body as a whole is sturdy, you can't find fault with the assembly. There are enough buttons on the steering wheel and not only in the same color as on the joystick, but also signed. The base does not make noise, even if I play for several hours in a row and does not heat up.
Disadvantages:
The cost if only, but I have not found a better quality at this price.
Comment:
I advise fans of racing. I never regretted that I took it.
