Best PS5 Racing Wheels of 2026

If the G29 is the sensible first wheel, the G923 is for the player who already knows they'll be racing every week. The step up buys TRUEFORCE, which reads the game's physics engine 4,000 times a second and turns curb strikes, engine vibration and tire slip into movement through the rim — detail the cheaper wheel simply doesn't produce.

Dual clutch is the feature we ended up using more than we expected. Assign it in a supported game and you get a launch-control bite off the line instead of a scramble for the throttle. There's a 24-point selector, a built-in LED rev indicator, and on-wheel controls for feedback strength and sensitivity so you can tune the feel without dropping into a menu. The hand-stitched leather rim and polished metal pedal faces are the nicest materials in this group short of the Fanatec.

The vibration has a downside, though. TRUEFORCE shakes whatever the wheel is clamped to, and a hollow desk turns into a drum under it — the noise is the thing we noticed most once the novelty of the detail wore off. A rig or a solid tabletop fixes most of that. Where the G923 sits for us is a refinement rather than a reinvention: you pay noticeably more than the G29 for feel and launch control, not for a different class of wheel.

Four five-way sticks sit on the rim of the Gran Turismo DD Pro, mapped to traction control, brake balance, torque split and fuel mapping — the adjustments GT7 players actually make mid-race. That tells you who Fanatec built this for. If you change brake bias between corners, the wheel is shaped around your hands rather than around a generic button layout.

Underneath is a 5 Nm direct-drive motor, which means no gears and no belt. The rim loads up linearly and lets go the instant the tires do, so small corrections come back through your fingertips instead of being filtered out on the way. We felt it most in how early you can catch a slide. Five newton-metres is enough for most people, and the platform takes an 8 Nm power supply later if you want more headroom.

The 280 mm rim is compact and wrapped in a tactile rubber grip with an OLED display and a diffused rev strip, and the two-pedal set is included — worth saying out loud, because plenty of direct-drive bundles leave you to buy pedals separately. It's also the most expensive wheel here by a wide margin, and we think it earns that only if GT7 is a hobby rather than a diversion. For a casual season of racing, the Logitech pair gets you most of the way there.

Magnetic paddle shifters and a hybrid drive are the two things the T128 brings to the entry level, and both are things you notice every lap. The paddles snap instead of clunking, and the drive mixes a belt stage into the gear train so the rim builds resistance more smoothly than a pure gear set. If the grainy edge of a cheap gear wheel is what puts you off, this is the budget answer.

Setup is straightforward: the clamp is in the box, the wheel runs on PS5, PS4 and PC, and 13 buttons is plenty once you've mapped them. Thrustmaster pitches this squarely at first-time sim racers and we think that's the right read. There's no shifter, the pedal set is a two-pedal arrangement, and the tuning options are thinner than what the Logitech wheels give you through G Hub.

The awkward part is the money, because it lands within a few dollars of our top pick. On rotation range and upgrade path we still prefer the Logitech, with its 900 degrees and add-on shifter. Pick the T128 for its smoother drive and its paddle action; pick the G29 if you want the most wheel for the same spend.

There is no force feedback on the T98, and that's the first thing to get straight. What you get instead is bungee-cord resistance with automatic centring, so the rim pulls itself back to straight and feels more alive than a plain sprung wheel. It never kicks, rumbles or fights you the way a feedback wheel does, and nothing you add later changes that.

For the right buyer, that's a fair trade. The 240-degree range suits arcade handling and younger drivers, the tool-free clamp fits tables up to 1.8 inches thick, and the three-position Manettino dial switches driving profiles without a menu. The pedals use Hall Effect sensors, which is a better arrangement than the contact-based pedals common at this end — smoother through the travel and less fiddly to modulate.

It's a Ferrari-licensed 10-inch rim for a fraction of what the feedback wheels cost, and for a kid's first setup or a household that races a few evenings a month, that makes sense. We don't recommend buying it hoping to grow into sim racing, though, because the missing feedback is the part you can't add later. Check the game list before ordering, too; support varies by title.
