I have this steering wheel here for 2 weeks. It's not as described by some. It's calm (doesn't move much), the pedals are perfect and have an immediate response in the game, it has many details and also has the feeling of a real Ferrari.

Well, I have been the owner of the steering wheel for a month now and I feel ready to express my opinion about it.
This product is aimed at people new to simracing or people who are tired of playing racing games with a controller and want a more realistic experience on a budget. However, even someone with little experience in simracing can enjoy the Thrustmaster T80 Ferrari 488 GTB edition. In my opinion, this steering wheel is the best in its price range as it offers a satisfying experience for only 100€. I have not used any other product of this kind, so everything I have said and will say comes from research and my experience with this steering wheel.
Now, I want to talk about my personal experience. After the first time, I was very impressed. The build quality is very good. I expected it to be cheap plastic, but they have done a decent job with the quality, table-mounting, and design. Of course, don't expect to see something extraordinary. Another concern of mine was the size of the wheel, but it was fine. It's 28cm, by the way. The pedals are decent but not perfect and not very sturdy. However, if you lift your foot off the brake before pressing it, they don't move. Also, the compatibility with almost all the games I tried was good. Especially in Gran Turismo and NFS Heat. Something bothered me in The Crew 2. It's probably the driving system of the game. However, it is compatible with The Crew 2 as well. Finally, the steering wheel is very quiet when turning, but the shifters make quite a bit of noise.
Now it's time to talk about the negatives. Firstly, the rotation of the steering wheel is 270° (135° right and 135° left) and not 900° like other higher-priced steering wheels. Also, the pedals do not have a clutch, and there is no gear lever in the box, nor a cheap one compatible with the steering wheel. However, we must not forget that this is a low-budget product. Personally, 270° is enough for racing games, but if you play games like Farming Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator, you may need more degrees for a better experience. The steering wheel has paddle shifters to manually change gears, but if you feel that you need a clutch and a gear lever, you will have to go for a higher budget (200€+). Another issue is that it does not have force feedback. Due to lack of experience, I don't know how much of a difference it makes in detail. One problem I encountered is that when you let the steering wheel return to the center, it doesn't go exactly to the center, resulting in the car turning slightly right or left. I didn't experience this in all games. Over time, you get used to it and center it yourself. Also, if for some reason the accelerator and brake don't go all the way in the game while you are pressing them all the way, try completely disconnecting the steering wheel from the console and reconnecting it. Your problem should be solved now.
Overall, this steering wheel is incredible for its price, and I believe it is worth it and more. On the PS4 with GT Sport or NFS Heat, I have had a great time and it has never disappointed me. Do not hesitate to ask any questions. I hope I helped!

I would like to clarify initially that each product serves a specific purpose and is judged based on the money one spends to acquire it.
So, I bought this steering wheel while I had never had a similar gaming accessory before, so I cannot compare it to others. However, for someone who wants to try if they like playing racing games with a steering wheel or just wants to have fun and their budget cannot exceed 120 euros, this is by far the best choice. I literally played Gran Turismo Sport without ever feeling that something bothers me.
Of course, as time goes by and someone gets more involved with the object, they will seek more capabilities, which is normal. In such a case, the budget should increase.

Since I put it on and it didn't work... The steering wheel didn't turn from the second use while the buttons were giving commands normally... It has been returned and I will wait 2 months to find out if the warranty covers me... Run and search, wasted money

This steering wheel is very good. It has a quick response and attaches well to the desk. The only thing that bothers me is that it makes a little noise and I don't have the resistance I want to feel the car better. I recommend you get it. It's worth its money. I've had it for 4 months and it hasn't presented any problems to me.

Attention, not supported by all racing games and most importantly, it does not have force feedback. It is not the best for racing sims as it lacks detail.
If you want a cheap solution with many compromises, then okay

Well guys, the steering wheel is very good with a nice sound. The pedals are hard at first but then they're okay. The steering wheel starts to shake but you need to adjust it so it doesn't shake

I was looking at it and searching if it would be good for a PC, finally after installing the drivers on the PC it works perfectly, in project cars, F1 2019, dirt rally and Forza 4 it works perfectly along with the pedals. It's worth its money

Generally, it is a good steering wheel (in terms of construction and functions), but I hadn't noticed that it is not on the list of supported devices for Forza Horizon 4 (which I mainly play on PC). I use it with this specific game with custom settings, but the sensitivity disappoints me. You barely touch the wheel and the car takes a larger turn (keeping straight is very difficult). Even in the steering wheel's utility, I see a significant difference between the steering angle shown on the display and what is actually happening (according to the utility). I read that it performs better on PS4.

I only changed the steering wheel rim from the spare parts of my car for 15 euros (I worked hard but it was worth it) and now I have a really good steering wheel. It is very small (only 28 cm) for my fingers, but otherwise it is a good steering wheel for PC.
