What technology is inside? The T128 is like the little brother of the T248 steering wheel. This is evident in the fact that a similar technology is used. The new model also utilizes hybrid drive technology: it combines a belt and gear mechanism. The force feedback is said to be 20% stronger than in the previous T150 and TMX steering wheels from Thrustmaster.
- The force feedback is expected to be even more realistic, providing a more intense perception of bumps, impacts, and loss of control while driving
- A four-color LED display on the steering wheel symbolizes the RPM and blinks when you should shift
- Magnetic shift paddles that are quieter than those of the T248
- Magnetic pedals for precise braking and accelerating
