Steering wheel with dashboard and 28 buttons for PC and PlayStation

Thrustmaster announced the launch of a new high-end steering wheel, the T248, which stands out for offering a small dashboard screen that allows you to see numerous details when adjusting the steering wheel (angle of rotation of the wheels, the force of Force Feedback, etc.), although it can also be used to display information in the games, such as speed, grid position, number of laps we have, etc.

The steering wheel features a dynamic Force Feeback vibration system, and this implies that the force exerted by the steering wheel can be set instantly. This system has three modes: lineal, where the user feels that the force he feels is 100% proportional to the force requested by the game; a enhanced mode to control skidding: and a enhanced mode that promises to offer the greatest possible realism by transferring all the track effects (pìanos, track exits, etc.) to the wheel.

We have gearshift paddles with magnetic contactless HEART technology that promises an activation time of 30ms. The pedals that accompany the steering wheel, the T3PM, also have this technology, and we have 28 buttons to move through the menus or perform specific actions.

Thrustmaster T248 steering wheel goes on sale October 21 at a price of 349.99 euros.
