Steering wheel and pedals Thrustmaster T248R Black — USB, hybrid drive, force feedback, LCD display, leather wheel

The T248R is an all-in-one racing wheel and pedal set designed for realistic sim racing. It combines an 11.0″ (28 cm) perforated leather-wrapped wheel rim, a magnetic three-pedal T3PM set with Hall Effect sensors, and a T‑HD hybrid Force Feedback system producing 3.1 N⋅m of torque. The unit includes a color LCD and LEDs for real-time telemetry and a sporty design with imitation carbon finishes.

Advantages

The hybrid T‑HD Force Feedback delivers strong, responsive torque with three BOOST levels to adjust intensity quickly. The built-in color LCD screen and four LEDs display speed, engine RPM, lap times and other telemetry without leaving the game. The T3PM pedal set uses zero-contact Hall Effect sensors for durable, precise input and offers four adjustable brake pressure levels. Ergonomic layout, 25 action buttons and two dual-activation encoders provide extensive control options, while Mag-Shift paddle shifters ensure fast, precise gear changes.
