Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

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.

Key specifications

  • Wheel rim diameter: 11.0" / 28 cm
  • Force Feedback system: T‑HD (Hybrid Drive), 3.1 N⋅m torque, 48 W continuous power
  • Pedal set: T3PM, magnetic pedals with Hall Effect (H.E.A.R.T.) sensors
  • Brake: 4 adjustable pressure levels
  • Interface: Built-in color LCD with 20 displays and 4 LEDs
  • Controls: 25 action buttons, 2 dual-activation encoders, Mag-Shift paddle shifters
  • Compatibility: PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
  • Connection: Wired USB
  • Color: Black

How to use

Connect the racing wheel to your platform via the supplied USB cable and mount the wheel and pedal set securely according to the included instructions. Use the wheel’s LCD menus or software on PC to configure force feedback strength, pedal calibration and button mappings. Adjust the brake pressure on the T3PM pedal to one of four available levels to match your preferred resistance. During play, change BOOST levels to modify Force Feedback intensity and consult the LCD for live telemetry.

Recommendations

For best results, mount the wheel and pedals on a stable rig or a dedicated stand, keep firmware and drivers up to date, and calibrate pedals before first use. Use the MAG‑SHIFT paddles and encoder controls to customize in-game controls for quicker access to essential functions.

8/10

Verdict: While the T248 does not bring about a revolution in Thrustmaster build quality or force feedback, it does level-up the entry-level experience with fab pedals and an advanced new on-wheel telemetry display. Reasons to buy+

Pros
  • Solid force feedback strength
  • Neat display with telemetry data and on-wheel customisation
  • Great pedals for a wheel of this class
Cons
  • Loud and clunky gear shifters
  • Hybrid force feedback is not ultra-smooth
  • Logitech wheels feel better-made

Verdict: Both the steering wheel and the peddles are very well made and feel solid. The steering wheel feels very responsive and is comfortable to use. You will need to clamp it to something to use – you might want to consider the various racks and stands you can...

Verdict: The Thrustmaster T248 doesn't offer the racing wheel progress we were, perhaps naively, hoping for. But it is a solid alternative to the Logitech G923 for PS5 gamers. It also fixes the most common complaint of older affordable Thrustmaster bundles by incl...

Pros
  • Better pedal set than older Thrustmasters at this level
  • Easy to use
  • Engaging force feedback when matched with well-programmed games
Cons
  • Somewhat limited torque and continuous resistance
  • Wheel is slow to re-center
  • Hybrid FF system results in granular rotation feel
  • Noisy, kinda nasty, gear paddle controls

Verdict: If you're looking for a next-gen steering wheel on PS5 and PC, then the Thrustmaster T248 will make you a better driver thanks to the stellar Force Feedback helping you feel a deeper connection to the road...

Pros
  • Powerful force feedback
  • Premium build quality and design
  • Strong support from a range of titles
Cons
  • Overly stiff braking pedal
