I give it 5 stars so as not to ruin the score since the steering wheel is great.

Simply now you can easily find direct drive wheels in Greek stores like mozaR5 and next month R3.

I write this because it's a shame for someone to spend so much money and then realize that they could have gotten something much better.

At the moment, I search for R5 and R3 on Google and I find them for 575 and 455 respectively.

Better pedals, by far, better steering wheel, better base, all metal instead of plastic and much more reliable.

We are finally in an era where better equipment is being released and replacing the old one instead of having a much higher price.

I have had the steering wheel since December 2021, so about 9 months as I write this review. I bought it second hand with a warranty until February 2023. It is my first steering wheel and I wanted something quite good. I have tried the Logitech G29 before, but I don't have much experience overall to compare. I initially wanted to go for a Fanatec Direct Drive, but of course, they are quite expensive. However, I can say that as a new product, this price may not be worth it considering that you can now get a Direct Drive for a similar price. Personally, I got this TS-PC for €370 (without the pedals) as a new product, literally without any scratches or anything. It is very powerful and a good steering wheel, it really gives you a great feeling on the track in sims. I have tried it with games like Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and Automobilista 2 (and F1 2021/2022, although it's not as much of a sim). Everything is great with this wheel, and if you can find it at a good price like I did, then you are lucky. If you want to stay within the Thrustmaster ecosystem, you can just get the motor of the steering wheel, it's worth it. However, at this price as a new product, I wouldn't recommend it because, as I mentioned before, you can now get Direct Drive wheels for similar prices. One good thing I have noticed with this wheel is that the power supply is connected with a cable, unlike other Thrustmaster wheels like the T300/TX/T150, which have the power supply built into the motor, resulting in slightly more overheating. Overall, I can say that the quality is quite good, it has a very strong and nice force feedback. This specific base, like other Thrustmaster bases, has a mechanism where you can remove the wheel from the base and attach any other wheel you want from the same company, for example, the Thrustmaster Formula Rim SF1000 and all the add-on wheels fit perfectly onto the base/motor of the steering wheel. So far, I haven't had any major issues with it, and it seems very reliable with good construction, without too much plastic making it look cheap. I would also recommend having a stand or a full cockpit, as it would make your life easier. Although it sits stably on a desk, I had some experiences where it moved slightly during driving due to the force feedback.

It is a very sturdy construction compared to the T300, which I had before. It has the power supply externally (the T300 has it inside and heats up after some hours of use). It has dual fans and is completely silent.

Now, in terms of price, that's where the big problem lies. You want the TLCM 170 pedals, but then you have a proper package to enjoy playing some games, etc.

For simple use once in a while, the T300 is a great steering wheel, of course

What to say about this machine, simply incredible. And don't listen to some gentlemen who say it's not value for money because we also saw what rubbish Logitech produced with 300 euros

It is the most premium feeling package of the company until 2019 that I am writing this review. The steering wheel feels amazing, and for those who do not drive in VR, the LEDs are very useful. Also, there are too many buttons on the steering wheel, although a little difficult to reach while driving due to its large size.

Of course, I recommend gloves for driving with alcantara. The TSPC base is more than enough to enjoy sim racing, and only for Direct Drive it is worth giving (a lot) more money in my opinion. It is not so much value for money compared to the T300, but definitely more premium on all levels.

I highly recommend it.

Edit 2024:
Nowadays, Direct Drive steering wheels have advanced a lot, and I would not recommend someone to spend so much money on a new TSPC. It is worth it for a used one, of course.

Similar to the TSPC racer F1 rim, its own rim is perfect. Alcantara 32cm, amazing feeling, very good adjustable buttons, paddles, and the LED lights are simply superb. Lastly, it also has the advance mode for additional functions, which is activated through the Trustmaster profile. 10 out of 10 for this wonderful steering wheel
