Works great, tested on PC and Xbox One. The pedals leave a bit to be desired as mentioned elsewhere - no clutch pedal, and the braking is not progressive. But the wheel feels fantastic.

I wanted to get myself a decent sim racing setup at home and after doing a lot of research, decided that this was the best option currently on the market for a price I was willing to pay. I say currently, because Fanatec will soon be launching a direct drive wheelbase at a price point fairly competitive with Thrustmaster's belt-driven lineup of wheels. If you're willing to wait, you could pre-order a Fanatec CSL DD right now. That said, I don't want to wait months, and so for $500 I bought this Thrustmaster TX RW Leather Edition which includes base, leather-wrapped wheel, and T3PA pedals. In terms of overall value, this is likely the best deal you're going to find currently or for the foreseeable future.
Force feedback is good. It's belt-driven and you can hear a bit of that, but it's not like a car's steering is necessarily silent either. It's not a bother to me, may be a bother to you if you're extremely sensitive to outside noise. I have never felt the need to turn force feedback above 75% (the default FFB intensity) in any game I've played like Assetto Corsa and beamNG.drive. Some games like Forza Horizon 4 have weak feedback, but that game is also notoriously mediocre with wheels in general. As long as the game has good force feedback you should have a good experience, and the wheel will quickly rip from your hands during spin outs and drifting. If you're worried about intensity compared to higher end belt-driven and direct-drive models, I wouldn't be. This is more than enough for the average sim racer and a league above many entry-level wheels that can barely spin with any speed or intensity. You really can feel the road through the wheel as well.
I would rate this wheel 5/5 for value with the caveat that cheap direct-drive wheels are coming to market soon and may offer better value. That said, there are two serious design/longevity concerns and one serious usability concern that I must address.
The biggest concern I have is that the USB cable is not detachable or user replaceable. If you were to damage the USB cable or plug on this wheelbase you would need to either buy a replacement wheelbase or pay potentially hundreds of dollars to a professional to solder a new USB cable to the device internally (assuming you don't have the skills/equipment to do so at home which most people don't). It also forces you to buy a USB Type A to Type C adapter if needed or a USB A extension cable if needed, rather than just a new cable. This is absolutely unacceptable. The (seemingly proprietary) power cable is detachable and user replaceable, why not the USB cable? There is no reason for this other than poor design and greed. I believe that Thrustmaster is expecting some customers will damage their USB cables and expects those customers will be more likely to purchase another wheelbase rather than pay for repairs. I believe this is a profit motivated design flaw and I'm disgusted.
Secondly, the pedals use a proprietary connector (also not easily replaced if damaged) by default. They can be converted to USB but you must buy an adapter to do so. Why? The proprietary connector is larger than a USB-C connector. I simply refuse to believe that Thrustmaster could not accomplish the same functionality using USB.
My usability concern comes down to the button layout which seems to have been designed by a lunatic. Despite the fact that this wheel has Xbox buttons and is an Xbox compatible buttons, those buttons do not translate as such on a Windows 10 PC. Instead, you get buttons 1-13. This WOULD be fine, if said buttons followed a sequential order. They do not. Buttons 10 and 3 are right next to each other. Buttons 5 and 9 are right next to each other. 4 and 6 are next to each other. 7, 13, and 8 are operated using a switch/button combo. Why are none of these in sequential order? The truly ridiculous button mapping for this wheel turns memorizing and setting controls into a nightmare. You might not think it's that bad but I assure you, it's bad.
Lastly, one final concern, there are only two mounting holes for mounting this wheel to a cockpit. This isn't necessarily bad, but my GTOmega ART cockpit doesn't support it out of the box (I've been using the included desk clamp until I decide if I want to drill holes or wait until potentially buying another wheel). If Thrustmaster could provide a few more potential fastening points without compromising the rigidity of the base, that would be a good thing.
I like the wheel and am relatively happy with it but it's certainly not a 5 star product.

Good force feedback, and a meaningful step above entry-level wheels. I still have some concerns.

I don't have a lot of experience with sim racing but I've used a few simulator cockpits using various levels of equipment from entry-level to higher-end. Don't take my opinion as expert, but at least take it as informed.By Wolffe on July 8, 2021

This is my first Sim racing setup, Quite happy with the initial product experience, the belt drive system results in quite operation unlike other gear driven systems, also the force feedback considerably stronger.
Hope I dont face any durability issues on the long run.
I did face few issues during initial setup, where Forza 7, Forza H 4 and Snowrunner did not detect the wheel. Checked the firmware on PC and did have latest firmware.
After fiddling with settings and mode button, finally wheel worked great on all three games.

Absolutely love this servo base. Solid, very effective and incredible FFB, so smooth. I stepped up from TMX, if your considering a mid level FFB setup, this is it!!! (If you can afford the XW w/Sparco wheel do it). Fantastic feel for the road and grip, super smooth, ensure your get the T-LCM add on pedals. Incredible setup. I have the TM Open Wheel & Ferrari 599XX Alcantara & Ferrari F1 & Leather GT28. TM open wheel is very versatile and solid. Love the whole system. Thank you Thrustmaster!!! I’ve found a company that does vinyl printing and they make amazing prints that fit all types of bases and rims. T-LCM pedals really set this combination off perfectly😃

Didn't work well with my Xbox Series S but five starts to Amazon
Reviewed in India on August 1, 2021
I ordered this product in July 2021 and this product didn't work well with my Xbox Series S. The issues that I encountered were that after the console woke up from standby the steering would loose all the feedback and then I will need to reboot the whole system. This would have not been a huge problem if this were the only problem or if it happened occassionally but it happened all the time. Moreover, my tv screen flickered on a number of occasions after connecting the racing wheel and also ghost inputs were registered. And this not just happened with original unit but with the replacement as well. Finally one time the racing wheel did not turn on after a couple of tries. That's when I decided I have had enough and returned the item. However it worked well whenever it worked. But, I am sure no one is looking for this sort of an experience. In this whole episode Amazon was super supportive and issued the refund without any problems. So five stars to Amazon.
