Surely many of you have ever wished to drive yourself on the legendary Monaco `Circuit de Monaco` racetrack or want to roam with supercars to see the beautiful scenery in Forza Horizon.

The steering wheel has a white-tone case combined with a very standard blue border, signaling to us that this will be a product designed to be perfectly compatible with Sony’s famous PlayStation line.

Opening the ThrustMaster T248 box, we will receive a full set of products including the steering wheel (Wheel) and pedals (Pedal) with two extremely flattering metallic tones of black and silver gray.

To provide the most realistic experience, ThrustMaster designed the steering wheel to be a size corresponding to real life.

Most especially, the steering wheel will be equipped with a small LED screen displaying parameters such as: Connected device (PS or PC), Km/H speed or RPM (Rounds).

Design overview, ThrustMaster T248 has a rather aggressive appearance, true to the steering wheel design language of current racing cars, but in reality, the product is not too heavy.

The ThrustMaster T248 steering wheel has an RJ12 port to connect to the TH8A gear lever or TSS Handbrake, a USB TypeC port and a 48W charging power port.

The part below the steering wheel will be the place to contact the table or racing chair, compatible with almost all products from popular brands at the present time such as APC Racing, OBUTTO… Part

Regarding the pedals, this can be said to be one of the best quality pedals available today.

You can place this `pedal` in many ways such as under the table or better yet, on the steering wheel stand of APC Racing / Obutto gaming tables with 4 different pressure levels.

The contact part of the T3PM pedal in the THRUSTMASTER T248 steering wheel product set is equipped with many layers of friction rubber, however if you fix the T3PM to steering wheel brackets such as PXN A9 or Obutto / APC Racing seats with screws

First impression, this steering wheel is easy to adjust with the buttons right on the steering wheel.

With games that support the display screen like Euro Truck on the computer or GranTurismo on the PS4, you will see all the parameters appear from the RPM of the wheel, the vehicle speed… I was really confused.

With PS4 games, the LED display will be more limited when you need to buy the exact game that ThrustMaster currently supports such as GranTurismo or Dirt, F1 2020, WRC 10…

With the launch of the ThrustMaster T248 steering wheel, the company has been extremely confident that its product can compete with the Logitech G923 (not yet launched in Vietnam) in the near future.
