Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel Leather Edition (Xbox/PC)

Belt-driven Xbox/PC wheel with leather rim and 3 metal pedals; dated but proven.

The Xbox counterpart of the T300: a belt-driven 900° base with Thrustmaster's quick release, a leather Ferrari 458 Italia replica rim and T3PA pedals. Pleasant and upgradeable, but dated and expensive now that Xbox has affordable direct drive.

AI rating

Fine, with caveats for a wheel base at this price. Best for: An Xbox player who finds it discounted and wants a belt wheel with swappable rims.

Pros and cons

Smooth belt-driven force feedback
Leather-wrapped 28 cm Ferrari 458 Italia replica rim feels premium
Quick release opens Thrustmaster's rim range, including the SF1000

Loud fan and some belt hum
Price is close to entry direct drive bundles on Xbox
Hardware design dates from 2013–2014

Watch out: Xbox/PC only (the PlayStation equivalent is the T300 RS GT), and at full price the direct drive T598-X costs only about $100 more.

Force feedback is lively but not heavy, easy to hold at the limit.

The belt drive is smoother than gear-driven wheels, with a faint whirr under load.

The rim feels solid and grippy, but the base flexes on a desk.

Like a good power-steering car: firm and informative, but not a heavy truck.

Our take

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

The TX Leather Edition bundles a TX servo base, an 11-inch leather-wrapped Ferrari-style rim and the T3PA three-pedal set. It is one of the few belt-driven wheels that officially supports both Xbox and PC. The base uses a dual-belt system and a brushless motor Thrustmaster lists at nearly 25 W. Position sensing is 16-bit magnetic (H.E.A.R.T.). The company does not publish a torque figure, so strength is best compared with the T300 class: lively and smooth, but well short of direct drive. The rim is detachable on the Thrustmaster quick-release system. That makes it a handy way to swap rims later, and the base accepts the TH8A shifter and TSS handbrake. This is an older design, though. The wheel is plasticky and its desk clamps are modest. A cockpit or sturdy stand makes it much better. Thrustmaster's own list price is around $500, so check current street prices against newer, cheaper options from other brands. It makes sense for console racers who want a leather rim and the TM ecosystem. PC-only buyers can get more force for similar money elsewhere.

Questions buyers ask

Does it work on PlayStation?

No. This version is licensed for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The PlayStation version of the TX line is the T300/TX-style PS-licensed variant, a different product.

Can I upgrade the rim or pedals later?

Yes. The rim uses Thrustmaster's quick-release, so other TM rims fit. The pedals plug into the base through an RJ12 port, so TM pedal sets such as the T-LCM also work.

Do I need a separate power supply or special mounting?

Power is a wall adapter into a single outlet. It clamps to a desk, but a wheel stand or rig is more stable. The mounting holes work with a rig plate.
