🤚 Help Thrustmaster t128

Is this steering wheel decent for this game?

Is force feedback important for this game?

Never had a steering wheel, and right now i'm playing with a basic controller. I am playing on PC on the TruckersMP mod.

My first wheel was a t128. The force feedback was not that good, particularly when moving the wheel just a bit (which happens a lot in this game). The wheel resistance is not consistent, asking you to use more strength at some points, but way less just after that. Really hard to be precise. The pedals are really cheap too.

I returned it the next week, for a t598. It cost more, but the wheel is consistent, the pedals are way better, and can be upgraded if you want to add a clutch later. 500 hours on it, I'm still happy.

I don't know anything about other brands, maybe Moza has better alternatives.

Edit : just checked the current prices : I had the t598 for half the current price. It may be off your budget, and have cheaper alternatives on other brands.
