Thrustmaster T248X Racing Wheel World Edition | Magnetic Pedals

Thrustmaster T248X Racing Wheel World Edition | Magnetic Pedals

Dynamic Hybrid Force Feedback: At the core of the T248X is Thrustmaster’s advanced Hybrid Drive system, which combines the smoothness of a belt mechanism with the direct power of a gear system. This eliminates the “notchy” feeling of older gear-only wheels while delivering 70% more power than previous generations (like the TMX). It offers three distinct Force Feedback presets-ranging from 100% linear translation of the game’s physics to boosted modes that enhance the feeling of tire slips and curbs-which can be changed on the fly during a race without diving into software menus.

Interactive Race Dashboard display: The center of the steering wheel features a built-in LCD screen that serves as a highly interactive racing dashboard. It offers more than 20 different displays depending on the game being played. You can view real-time telemetry data such as your current speed, engine RPM, race position, best lap times, and current gear. Alternatively, the screen allows you to manually adjust wheel settings, including the rotation angle and Force Feedback levels, directly from the wheel interface.

Magnetic Shifters and T3PM Pedals: The T248X utilizes Thrustmaster’s proprietary H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) magnetic sensors. The steering wheel features two magnetic paddle shifters that allow for lightning-fast, highly tactile gear changes with a clear, satisfying click. More importantly, this bundle includes the heavy-duty T3PM 3-pedal set. Because the pedals use magnetic sensors instead of traditional physical potentiometers, they suffer absolutely zero friction or wear over time, ensuring infinite precision. The brake pedal also comes with four interchangeable spring setups to adjust the braking pressure to perfectly match your desk or rig setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the “World Edition” or “Type-C” mean? The World Edition simply refers to the SKU that includes a modern USB Type-C connection and includes regional power adapters. The core hardware, wheel performance, and included T3PM pedals are identical to the standard T248X.
2. Will this wheel work on a PlayStation 5? No. The T248X (denoted by the “X” and the Xbox guide buttons) is specifically designed for Xbox and PC. If you are looking to play on a PlayStation console, you will need to purchase the standard Thrustmaster T248 (which features PlayStation face buttons).
3. Do I need a separate power outlet to use this wheel? Yes. Because it uses a powerful Force Feedback motor, the USB connection to your console or PC alone cannot provide enough power. The wheel comes with an external power supply brick that must be plugged into a standard wall outlet.
