Product Information
Full details
The Thrustmaster T128 SimTask Racing Wheel and Steering Kit is designed for racing and heavy equipment simulation enthusiasts on PlayStation and PC. Its key benefit is an immersive, dynamic force feedback system that lets you feel the virtual track, complemented by responsive magnetic paddle shifters and an adjustable steering setup for maximum realism. A potential caveat is that while powerful, the hybrid drive might not offer the absolute highest end force feedback compared to more expensive, direct-drive wheels.

FAQs
What is the rotation angle of the T128 wheel?
The Thrustmaster T128 features a rotation angle of up to 900°, which is adjustable and suitable for a wide variety of vehicles and simulation games.
Is the T128 compatible with Xbox consoles?
No, the Thrustmaster T128 is designed for PlayStation consoles (PS5/PS4) and PC only. It is not compatible with Xbox consoles.
What technology do the paddle shifters and pedals use?
Both the paddle shifters and the T2PM pedals use Thrustmaster's patented H.E.A.R.T (Hall Effect AccuRate Technology), which is a contactless magnetic system providing excellent responsiveness and a long lifespan.
How do I adjust the steering wheel's position?
The wheel features a 3-axis adjustment system allowing you to modify its height, tilt, and angle to find the most comfortable and realistic driving position for your setup.
What is the maximum desk thickness the clamp supports?
The robust 100% metal attachment system supports desks and tables with a thickness ranging from 15 mm (0.6 inches) to 50 mm (2.0 inches).
Does the T128 have force feedback?
Yes, the T128 features dynamic force feedback, allowing you to feel the track surface, tire grip, and other driving sensations for a more immersive experience.
Can I use the rotary spinner knob for non-driving controls?
Yes, the rotary spinner knob is designed to allow for one-handed driving, freeing up your other hand to simultaneously operate other in-game equipment controls or a shifter, enhancing realism in simulations.
Troubleshooting
Wheel is not detected by the PC/console.
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the wheel and the device. Try a different USB port. For PC, download and install the latest drivers from the Thrustmaster website. Restart your PC/console after connecting.
Force feedback is weak or absent.
Check that force feedback is enabled in the game's settings and that the wheel's power adapter is connected and switched on. Ensure the correct profile is selected in the Thrustmaster control panel on PC. Verify that the wheel is not set to the 270° rotation mode (intended for simpler games) if you expect strong feedback for simulations.
Pedals are not responding correctly.
Verify that the pedal connector is securely plugged into the wheel. Check pedal calibration within the game or Thrustmaster control panel. Ensure the pedals are not obstructed and can move freely.
Paddle shifters are unresponsive.
Confirm the paddle shifters are enabled in the game's input settings. Check the connection of the wheel to the console/PC. If the issue persists, consider checking for firmware updates for the wheel.
Attachment clamp is not secure.
Ensure the desk or table surface is flat and within the specified thickness range (15-50 mm). Tighten the clamp firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could damage the clamp or surface. If the surface is uneven, consider using a temporary shim.
