Good budget steering wheel

NotABigGamer · September 21

I have been considering a wheel for a while now since I started playing some car games like Beamng. I was considering the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 but then herd it is not compatible with pc. Another option I was considering was the Thrustmaster tmx. Do you recommend anything else? I dont really want to spend over 110$.

I honestly wouldn't recommend the Thrustmaster 458 even if it did work with PC (it does actually work with forza games like Horizon 4 on PC). I got one of those, and it broke in less than a year. It's apparently a very common problem for the part that detects how much the wheel is turned (I forget the name of it) to become faulty, causing the wheel to constantly reigster you turning in one direction.

Unfortunately, unless you can find something on the used market, your budget is much to low for a decent new entry level wheel.

A Logitech G29/920 or a Thrustmaster T300RS should be the lowest I'd start with.

The Thrustmaster T150 RS is the absolute lowest level I'd go if it's the only option.

Thanks for the fast reply!

@WaggishOhio383, I'm looking at getting a second hand wheel myself after discovering the joys of Forza Horizon 4. Do you know if a G25 is compatible?
