None of the TM (or Fanatec) wheels use a pure gear drive such as Logitech. From there you are looking at the T300 and up which all have pure belt drives, brushless motors, higher resolution sensors and at least 900 degrees rotation. The next step is the TMX/T150 which use a hybrid belt & gear drive. This is a good summary of the basic points of note for all the different brands/models.īut the key difference between the TM models comes down to 3 things:įor example, the T80 is a non-force-feedback wheel with a bungie cord for resistance. I agree that the TM website is trash, it can be extremely difficult to work out what's what. I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as some of the hardcore racing sim enthusiasts but I've spent a lot of time evaluating and testing different hardware over the years. If you can afford it (and again, especially if you're into racing), the Thrustmaster or Fanatec shifters are light years ahead in terms of feel and quality. They're also quieter and more precise to use.Īs for shifters, the Logitech h-shifter is cheap for a reason. These wheels use belt drives which have the best and most powerful force feedback of anything that's not direct drive.

If you want to use the wheel with other games - especially racing games - then you should seriously consider a mid-range wheel such as Thrustmaster T300 (or better) or anything Fanatec. If the G29/920 is significantly cheaper then by all means consider it but the Thrustmasters will give better performance. If buying new, Thrustmaster T150 or TMX have a hybrid belt & gear drive which will give smoother, more precise and quieter force feedback than any of the Logitech wheels. If you only want a wheel for ATS and ETS2 then look for a secondhand Logitech G27.
