2. 3 dynamic force feedback options: linear, enhanced, and powerful to adapt to different types of racing games to achieve true track dominance
3.HYBRIDDRIVE The (hybrid) system's new force feedback drive system is optimized compared to the previous hybrid transmission, and the power system is enhanced by 70%!
4.H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology (with Hall effect sensor): The new magnetic induction technology of the shift paddles and the magnetic pressure pedal make this product not inferior to other mid-to-high-end analog brands currently on the market. device.
5. Up to 25 operation buttons: suitable for many different types of racing games, racing, simulation and even operational games. Truly more comprehensively compatible with a variety of games.
6. The external power supply design is adopted to better extend the life of the power supply and solve the problem of motor overheating when the simulator is running for a long time, making the simulator worth about 2,000 yuan more durable and stable. Play, can be used for long-term events.
7.

Thrustmaster Racing Dashboard:
There are more than 20 different pieces of information*** available on the screen:
Manually adjust a range of settings: steering wheel rotation angle, force feedback type, etc.
User-selected telemetry information displayed: gear ratio, speed, number of laps, driver ranking, fastest lap time, etc.
Dynamic Force Feedback:
Users can easily adjust force feedback levels in real time. T248 has three force feedback curves (including presets), compatible with all games:
FFB1: Linear force feedback, ensuring that the force felt by the user is 100% proportional to the force required by the game.
FFB2: Enhanced force feedback for improved anti-skid control.
FFB3: Powerful force feedback allows users to feel every racing effect brought by the track (curbs, sliding off the track, etc.) more delicately.
Next generation Thrustmaster HYBRIDDRIVE (hybrid) system:
The T248 is currently the only officially authorized racing steering wheel in its price range. In addition to the gears, it also has There are belts that make up its unique high-performance hybrid mechanism.
This hybrid system allows for excellent driving agility without the counter-intuitive feel and friction issues common when using racing steering wheels without additional belt drive components, which is why the T248 allows Players experience stronger power (power increased by 70%**) and can easily control various tracks.
H.E.A.R.T Magnetic Technology (with Hall Effect Sensor):
This technology is built into two key components directly related to gameplay, helping to improve player performance in all games accuracy while eliminating any possible blind spots.
The T248 comes with magnetic paddle shifters for ultra-fast shifting and a crisp and precise activation feel (response time of 30 milliseconds) to avoid driving errors. This contactless magnetic technology also maximizes the lifespan of the paddle shifters, ensuring no issues during long gaming sessions.
Comes included with the new T3PM pedal set - the icing on the cake, featuring patented and exclusive H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology.
The T3PM achieves extraordinary accuracy up to milliseconds and comes with 4 different spring configurations, allowing players to operate with the same accuracy no matter what type of setup they have (desktop/desktop, cockpit or WheelStand Pro). Enjoy the game with precision and comfort. The T3PM's operation is incredibly smooth and avoids the loss of precision that can occur over time with standard potentiometer pedal sets, making for a huge and amazing leap in adaptability and in-game response.
Up to 25 operating buttons: almost twice as many as the previous generation Thrustmaster hybrid racing wheel**.
