When you're dealing with tough roads and crucial maneuvering, you need an edge over the competition. The T500RS Racing Wheel from Thrustmaster is a force feedback racing wheel that allows you to immerse yourself in your racing games on your PC, Playstation3 or Playstation4*. The T500RS offers several realistic features, all metal construction and weighs in at a massive 36.4 pounds. In addition to the wheel you will find three pedals, two gearshift levers, a D-Pad, and 13 buttons including a home button for your PS3 console.
The angle of rotation of the wheel is adjustable up to 1080° (three full turns), and it automatically calibrates when the power adapter and USB connector are engaged. Adjust the pedal height between four possible positions for the accelerator pedal, two for the brake pedal, and two for the clutch pedal to accommodate your personal gaming style and ergonomic needs. Spacing can be adjusted using the included allen key between three possible positions for the accelerator, three for the brake, and three for the clutch pedal. Using the included allen key you can also adjust the tilt, choosing from two positions for the accelerator, two for the brake and two for the clutch pedal.
The pedal set will have the Ricmotech LC500 load cell upgrade kit pre-installed which will increase the pedal resistance to over 70lbs (31kg) and provide the feeling of a real brake pedal. You can install it according to your preferences and position it against the upper or lower wall for different amounts of resistance.
The T500RS pedal set features a unique design that allows for a choice of two positions, a floor position (F1 type) and suspended position (GT/Rally type). You can also attach it to a table or desk for ultimate stability during gameplay using the included table clamp. So whether you're gaming on your PC, PS3 or PS4, this wheel and pedal set has what it takes to keep you immersed in the race and take control of the road.
