Thrustmaster T598 Direct Axial Drive Racing Wheel Bundle for PS5, PS4 & PC
Unleash next-gen racing realism with the Thrustmaster T598—a complete sim racing bundle featuring cutting-edge Direct Axial Drive Force Feedback, ultra-responsive controls, and a modular pedal set. Designed for competitive sim racers and enthusiasts alike, the T598 delivers precision, immersion, and high-performance customization.
Introducing Direct Axial Drive – A Sim Racing Breakthrough
At the heart of the T598 is the revolutionary Direct Axial Drive motor, based on advanced axial flux motor technology — a breakthrough in the Direct Drive space. Unlike traditional radial motors, the axial flux design delivers superior performance in a compact footprint, producing constant 5 Nm of torque with virtually no cogging. The result? Smoother, clearer, and more powerful Force Feedback across all driving scenarios.
This new-generation motor architecture enables:
- Ultra-low latency (5 ms) for real-time responsiveness
- High-fidelity effects with crystal-clear detail and instant feedback
- Overshoot capability that briefly pushes beyond the base torque for enhanced realism in crashes, curb hits, and collisions
- Consistent 98W output for uninterrupted performance during long racing sessions
HARMONY™ Technology – Precision You Can Feel
Experience every nuance of the racetrack with Thrustmaster’s HARMONY™ technology, built into the T598’s next-gen Force Feedback system. Unlike traditional feedback systems that only replicate major forces, HARMONY™ delivers high-frequency vibrations that reveal the smallest racing details: from textured asphalt and engine rumble to tire scrubbing and curb contact.
Combined with the T598’s ultra-responsive Direct Axial Drive motor, HARMONY™ creates a dynamic and layered feedback profile that enhances your ability to react and stay immersed. Every bump, gearshift, and surface change is amplified with stunning clarity, pushing the limits of what sim racing feedback can offer.
