Thrustmaster T598 Direct Axial Drive (PS5/PS4/PC)

The Thrustmaster T598, compatible with PS5, PS4, and PC, is a high-performance simulation racing wheel that delivers a fully immersive driving experience. This wheel represents Thrustmaster's latest innovation in simulators, with its Direct Axial Drive motor providing high-fidelity Force Feedback for unmatched precision and realism.

From its advanced features to its ergonomic design, the T598 promises to elevate racing simulation to the next level, making it the ideal choice for gamers seeking precision, control, and realistic sensations behind the wheel.

Direct Axial Drive Motor: Next-Generation Precision

At the heart of the T598 is its Direct Axial Drive motor, an Axial Flux motor that offers exceptionally precise response, eliminating the cogging or jerking that can affect other wheels on the market. This motor delivers a constant torque of 5 Nm, which can be boosted with the Overdrive function to reach an ideal power level for intensified effects.

With no friction or contact parts that could wear down, the motor guarantees a long lifespan and smooth response in every turn. Featuring ultra-low latency of just 5 ms, the T598 allows for instant reaction times, providing a crucial edge in competitive racing scenarios.

Realistic Sensations: High-Frequency Vibrations

The T598's HARMONY technology lets you feel high-frequency vibrations that capture every detail of the game's physics. From the sound of tires screeching to the impact of each gear shift, these vibrations recreate real driving sensations at an impressive level.

This makes the T598 a critical tool for those seeking intense, realistic experiences behind the wheel. Every turn, brake, and acceleration feels like a true racing experience.

Race Dash Display: Real-Time Information

The T598’s Race Dash display is an essential feature for those seeking extra control and the ability to adjust settings without interrupting the race. This display allows you to modify over 10 different settings and save customized profiles, adapting to various driving styles and personal preferences.

The innovative GEAR JOLT adjustment adds another layer of realism by simulating gear shifts directly on the steering wheel. Additionally, during gameplay, Race Dash provides key information such as speed, lap time, position, and race flags, helping players keep track of their performance and positioning on the track.

Detachable SportCar Wheel Rim: Built for Competition

The 30 cm detachable SportCar wheel rim boasts a sporty, ergonomic design with rubber grips, making it ideal for all simulation styles. Its lightweight build, at just 811 grams, allows for greater power transfer from the motor and immediate responsiveness in every maneuver.

The mag-shift paddle shifters deliver sharp, precise activation for a smooth, fast shifting experience, similar to that of a sports car. Additionally, the multifunctional encoder lets players customize up to 12 actions, putting key functions at their fingertips for easy access and control during gameplay.

Scalable Metal Pedals: Customization and Realism

The T598 includes Raceline Pedals LTE, a set of two metal pedals that can be upgraded with an optional third load cell pedal, soon available through the Raceline Pedals Upgrade Kit. These pedals feature H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) sensors, ensuring exceptional precision and durability while minimizing wear.

Users can adjust the firmness of the pedals with the included springs and three adjustment positions behind each pedal. The non-slip pads ensure the pedals stay securely in place, avoiding unwanted movement during gameplay. This customization and stability provide an even more realistic feel, offering total control over acceleration and braking in every race.
