Overall, the Thrustmaster T300RS is praised for its strong and smooth force feedback, making it a great choice for sim racing enthusiasts who want a realistic and immersive experience.

The pedals on the Thrustmaster T300RS Racing Wheel are made of plastic and are not adjustable. However, they provide a realistic and immersive gaming experience, with a brake pedal that has more resistance than the throttle. The wheelbase is usually sold with either a 2-pedal set or a 3-pedal set, with the latter being preferred due to its better stability.

The T300RS is also compatible with a wide range of Thrustmaster-compatible pedal sets, including those from other manufacturers, allowing for customization and upgrades. Overall, the Thrustmaster T300RS is a great option for those looking for a high-quality racing wheel with responsive and strong force feedback.

The Thrustmaster T300RS wheel is praised for its excellent build quality, with a metal construction topped with rubber for a high-friction, rugged surface. The wheel feels substantial and sturdy, with rubber grips on each side for comfortable handling. The use of brushless motors with Hall sensors also makes it potentially less prone to long-term wear.

While there were some reported reliability issues with the first batch of production, Thrustmaster has since addressed these issues and improved the build quality. Overall, the Thrustmaster T300RS wheel is a durable and well-made product that is designed to last, making it a great choice for serious gamers and racing enthusiasts.

The Thrustmaster T300RS Racing Wheel has a total of 13 action buttons, including 2 on the base and 11 on the wheel. The button layout has been improved over the T500, with the L2, R2, Select, and Start buttons moved closer to the thumbs for easier access without having to remove your hand from the wheel.

The buttons are programmable using the Thrustmaster Control Panel software, allowing for customization to suit different games or simulations. The wheel also features more traditionally-mounted paddle shifters, rubber grips on each side, and loads of calibration options. The buttons are designed to be accessible and user-friendly while gaming, with backlit buttons placed directly on top of their corresponding levers and a comfortable D-Pad for games with lots of menus.

Overall, the Thrustmaster T300RS Racing Wheel has a well-designed button layout that is intuitive and user-friendly, making it a great choice for racing game enthusiasts.
