I have been using a T1 for about 16 months now racing almost daily for
1-3 hours. I thought $135 was a bit pricy when I bought it but I have
never regreted the purchase.

If you like car simulators, you must have a wheel and pedals to fully
enjoy the experience.

Many people complain about the durability of the T1. I have also had a
few problems, mainly the pots get sloppy and the pedal springs break.
Thrustmaster sent me new pots and springs for the pedals at no cost. I
just had to put them in myself.

It may not be the best wheel available, but it is the best for the price
in my opinion.
