Comparison
Logitech G29 vs Thrustmaster T300
Quick answer
Both are entry-level wheels for PlayStation and PC. The G29 uses a gear drive (durable, but notchier feel); the T300 uses a belt drive (smoother, more detailed force feedback) and has a removable wheel rim system. Choose the G29 for the lowest price with pedals included; choose the T300 for smoother feel. If you are buying new in 2026, compare both with an entry direct drive base such as the Moza R5 bundle.

|---|---|---|
| Drive type | Dual-motor helical gear, 900° | Brushless motor (25W), dual belt |
| Platforms | PlayStation, PC | PC, PS4, PS5 |
| Pedals included | Yes, 3-pedal set | Depends on bundle (RS: 2 pedals, GT/Alcantara: 3) |
| Removable rim | No | Yes, Thrustmaster quick release |
| Best for | Lowest cost first wheel | Smoother feel, rim upgrades |
Force feedback feel
Gear drives transmit a characteristic notchy feel; belt drives smooth this out. Neither matches the detail and torque of direct drive, where the wheel is mounted straight on the motor shaft.
Upgrade path
The T300 accepts other Thrustmaster rims. The G29 is a closed system. For both, the next step up is a direct drive wheelbase — see our torque guide for how much power you really need.
Verdict
Tight budget: G29. Better feel and rim options: T300. Planning to stay in the hobby: consider an entry direct drive bundle instead.
