Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Edition (PlayStation/PC)

Belt-driven, officially licensed Gran Turismo wheel with 3 pedals for PS5/PS4 and PC

A long-running belt-driven base with 1080° rotation, Thrustmaster's quick release and the T3PA three-pedal set. Its smooth belt feel and add-on rim ecosystem keep it relevant, but entry direct drive now beats it at similar money.

AI rating

Fine, with caveats for a wheel base at this price. Best for: A PS5 player who finds it discounted and wants a belt wheel with an upgrade path in the Thrustmaster ecosystem.

Pros and cons

Smooth belt drive with no gear notchiness
Thrustmaster quick release: upgrade later to SF1000, Hypercar or 32R rims
Internal power supply and a huge aftermarket of mods and parts

Loud fan and belt hum; force can fade as the motor heats in long sessions
Basic rubber GT rim with few controls
The direct drive T598 costs about the same

Watch out: The fan is loud and the motor can heat up and soften force feedback in long summer sessions; price-check the T598 first.

Forces are firm and clear at the desk, but they stay modest next to direct-drive bases.

The belt drive feels smooth. You will hear some motor and belt whirr during hard cornering.

The pedals work, but the brake feels soft and springy.

A solid daily driver: it handles the basics well but isn't a track-day machine.

Our take

AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.

The T300 RS GT Edition is the long-running entry point to belt-driven force feedback on PlayStation and PC. You get a brushless-motor base, a detachable 28 cm GT-branded rim with 13 buttons and paddles, and the T3PA three-pedal set. Thrustmaster doesn't publish torque; owners and reviewers commonly cite roughly 3.9 Nm. Its H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensor gives 16-bit resolution, and the wheel rotates up to 1080 degrees. The belt drive is smoother and quieter than the gear-driven wheels below it, though the force feedback is less detailed than direct-drive bases. The pedals are the weak point: the brake has a soft, spring-like feel, and many buyers upgrade them later. The base uses Thrustmaster's quick-release rim system, so other T300-compatible rims fit, and you can clamp it to a desk or mount it to a rig. It is an older design, and Thrustmaster's own price is $449.99, so check whether it's on sale before you buy. It makes sense if you want a licensed, plug-in setup for console games. If you plan to grow into a full rig, a newer base may be a better long-term purchase.

Questions buyers ask

Does it work on PS5?

Yes, in PS5 games that support PS4 wheels, including Gran Turismo 7. It also works on PS4, PS3 and PC. It does not work on Xbox.

Can I use other rims or pedals?

Yes. Thrustmaster's T300-compatible quick-release rims fit the base. The pedals connect to the base through an RJ12 port, and the T-LCM and other Thrustmaster pedals can be added. Check each pedal set for compatibility with this base.

How do I mount it?

You can clamp it to a desk or table with the built-in clamp, or bolt it to a wheel stand or rig. A rig is more stable at full force.
