Thrustmaster T500 RS
with a Clutch Pedal, for PS3 & PC
The Thrustmaster T500 RS is the most sophisticated clutch-inclusive steering wheel for PS3 one can lay hands on. Why is it so? Well, aside from the hundred-percent-adjustable clutch, gas and brake pedals (it’s up to you whether they should be floor-mounted like in an F1 car, or suspended - like in a GT car), the T500 RS features a 65-watt, 3000-rpm motor producing faster-than-the-speed-of-sound force feedback responses, which will make you fully aware of what’s happening on the circuit, and a HallEffect AccuRate Technology™-based contactless magnetic sensor, which guarantees larger-than-life precision. In addition, Thrustmaster’s 30-cm-wide masterpiece of a wheel offers a colossal 1080-degree rotation (three full turns lock to lock). The fact that the T500 RS is the official Gran Turismo 5 steering wheel will hardly surprise anyone.
T500 RS plus the TH8 RS Shifter
an 8-Speed Shifter (Manual/Sequential)
Thrustmaster’s life-size, 8-speed TH8 RS shifter was invented so that all T500 RS users could change gears manually using a gated gearbox and a clutch pedal (the T500 RS includes one by default). Even those who’d rather shift gears sequentially can take advantage of the TH8 RS shifter. All they have to do is replace the default H-pattern (7+1) plate with a sequential (+/-) plate, which is available as well. Being a T500 RS add-on, the TH8 RS gear shifter employs the same super-mega-precise H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology™ and works great with Gran Turismo 5 in combination with the T500 RS, the latter being the official GT5 wheel. What’s more, you can also use the TH8 RS shifter as a standalone gear-switching device while playing your favorite PC racing simulation games in combination with any wheel at all.
Logitech G27
with a Clutch Pedal, for PS3 & PC
Of all the wheels presented on this website, the PlayStation 3 and PC-compatible Logitech G27 is the only one that includes by default both a clutch pedal and a gearshift module, which is not attached to the wheel platform. The G27 is, indeed, a very interesting model - it features completely adjustable clutch, brake and accelerator pedals, an external six-speed, H-gate manual shifter, two powerful force feedback motors driven by helical gears, which guarantee an almost noiseless operation, two wheel-mounted metal paddle shifters and even shift indicator LEDs that flash when the current gear should be changed. What’s more, the 28-cm-wide Logitech G27 wheel can rotate up to the incredible 900 degrees (two and a half turns lock to lock), so a true-to-life sim racing experience is guaranteed.
RGT Force Feedback Clutch
with a Clutch Pedal, for PC only
We haven’t forgotten PC racing game players who want to change gears manually using a clutch pedal and a gear lever either - the PC-only Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Clutch wheel includes totally adjustable clutch, throttle & brake pedals and a life-size sequential shifter installed on the dashboard to the right of the 25-cm-wide wheel. You can up- and downshift using two wheel-mounted digital paddles as well. There are also two analog paddles, which can be used for accelerating and braking purposes, so you have quite a bit of choice here. The best part is that the RGT Force Feedback Clutch model is equipped with an immensely powerful, yet smooth and noiseless, belt- and gear-driven force feedback mechanism, which even allows you to regulate the actual amount of force feedback. The RGT FFB Clutch wheel, whose maximum steering angle is 270 degrees, also features a highly precise ball-bearing steering mechanism. Plus, you can decide whether to re-center the steering wheel or not during the race itself.
