Thrustmaster ESWAP XR PRO CONTROLLER FORZA HORIZON 5 EDITION, Modular Wired Gamepad, Racing Wheel Module, Official FORZA HORIZON 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Precise Mini-Sticks, Tact Switches

If you love racing games like me and you can’t have a racing wheel for space constraints then this is a really fun alternative. I tend to have my finger to the right side of the wheel when turning right and move it quickly to the left when turning left. Once you get your rhythm and technique it soon becomes second nature. Highly recommend for any sim racing fan.

I have over a dozen higher end controllers from the best manufacturers. I play mainly racing sims. I have a good quality racing wheel and pedals but cannot use them do to ill health, so hand held controllers are a must for me. The new Thrustmaster mini wheel attachment to this controller is a real game changer. With minimal effort is is easy to control a car in a more precise and realistic feeling way than any controller I have ever had. No, this is not a gimmick. It feels so natural to steer and gives a similar sensation to an actual steering wheel by only using the edge of your thumb. I urge all driving game players who have tried everything but are still not satisfied to try this. I think all hand held racing controllers will be like this within a couple of years.

Best controller i have ever used as far as precision but i have to give it a 1 star review purely due to this being my 3rd one and within days the thumbsticks started to strafe. Its the worst build quality i have ever seen for thumbsticks breaking which is a real shame as its the best precision i have seen in a thumbstick. I had to send 1 back then got another 1 then got the forza edition. Out the 2 controllers 3 of the thumbsticks strafe. If they improved the build so the thumbsticks dont strafe within a few days of using and made the controller not break easy then id say 5 star but until they fix these issues its a 1 star from me purely because after days of purchasing the thumbsticks will strafe

Posting this an hour after receiving the control to record my initial thoughts, will try to provide updates at one week and one month. I'm mostly basing my 5 stars on the build quality. I feel that other aspects that determine how much you like a controller can be pretty subjective. What I want to give are my initial thoughts, the important things that strike me about the controller compared to others. First is that the controller is quite large. Xbox controllers are kind of known for their size, and Thrustmaster really heard that and said "Hold my beer" on this one. For me personally this isn't a problem because my hands are very large (the long, thin finger type) but it gives me the feeling that it's *borderline* a problem, which is remarkable since I've rarely met anyone with hands larger than my own. I think that if you have small hands, you will feel like an 8-year old holding this controller.

I saw this particular controller on Hoki Hoshi's channel and was immediately taken with the idea of it, especially as I wanted an Elite style controller for my Series X anyway. So I bought it, spur of the moment. By the way, in case you don't know, the main selling point of this controller is that it has a small wheel module that you can swap with the left analogue stick and use for controlling cars in racing games. It's specifically tailored towards Forza Horizon 5 apparently, which happens to be a game I've spent a stupid amount of time playing and am pointlessly, embarrassingly good at. So that's the selling point. A few things became apparent when I started using it however: - the amount of travel on the wheel is tiny. From videos I'd assumed that it would rotate at least once, maybe twice or thrice depending on settings, so you could have 1080 steering. 1080 steering is what you get on a proper sim wheel, and the idea of having a replica of that in thumbsize form was appealing(although not particularly workable - but still, I was curious.). The amount of travel it actually has? 90 degrees. A quarter of a turn of the tiny wheel. I'm being totally honest here: I don't think it has any more travel or sensitivity than the analogue stick itself. I mean it when I call it a gimmick. - it's wired. This is bewildering and obscene for a wheel that costs 170 quid. I'm awed at how good a job they did of selling it to suckers like me too, because it appears to be identical to the previous 'elite' controller by Thrustmaster, only with the(pathetic) wheel module and a hideous paint job. It doesn't look premium. It looks ugly. But the main problem is with the wheel module. It gives you no finer control than an analogue stick. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly the travel is almost indistinguishable in amount from the travel you get with an analogue stick. It just looks like more travel because the relatively large-looking wheel is sat on a much smaller plate, and it's that plate that controls things. The plate itself is invisible because the wheel is almost flush with the controller. You can only see the plate when you hold the controller side-on. Secondly the deadspots in the analogue control for racing games don't disappear when you use this wheel. They're still there. It could be a full-size wheel with 1080 steering, but if it's being filtered through the software(the software of whatever racing game you're playing) that's meant for an analogue stick it's going to ignore any extra sensitivity. Analogue sticks do not have much sensitivity, and this wheel just uses the software that analogue sticks use. People claim their lap times have improved slightly in certain games after buying this wheel. I am confident that this is a mental illusion. They're kidding themselves, because this really doesn't do anything the basic analogue stick doesn't already do. To sum this depressing experience up: do not buy this controller. It's an absurdly expensive, ugly, basic, wired item that adds nothing to the driving experience except the placebo effect of greater control. The Series X Elite 2 is out there and does everything this does and more, only without the pointless, plastic Oreo that is this controller's sole gimmick. I've given it 2 stars because it functions okay as a controller and the swappable elements are quite cool. Also you can reprogram it, possibly. Google that, it might not be right, I can't be bothered checking, I just want to write this review as a warning and move on. Pretend I never bought it. Maybe drive out to the countryside, somewhere quiet, hurl the thing into the bushes, then run.

Not a big fan of the special wheel so far, but perhaps will take more getting used to. Overall, though, there’s no doubt that this is a top quality piece of kit. Expensive, but I suppose you get what you pay for and I’m glad I bought it.

Ottimo joypad ,solido e robusto con modulo "volantino" utilissimo per chi come me piacciono i videogiochi automobilistici su console, ma che non hanno spazio per installare un vero volante e vogliono comunque avere maggiore precisione ed un immersività rispetto ad un normale pad con stick. Peccato sia solo in versione wired e non wireless.

the idea is fantastic, but within only a few months it has very severe stick drift :/ I even tried just removing the stick so it wouldn't effect the game, but that disables the controller fully. moving on from that, I loved using it, but the limitation of only 90 degrees of rotation is very limiting. The build quality is also very creaky... other controllers will creak if you stress them, but this does it instantly. Not to mention that the plastics look and feel very cheep :(

この手の変態ガジェットが大好きなもので、ネジコンやHKS Racing Controller以来のレース用パッド型コンと聞いて 欲しくて欲しくてたまらなかったものの、値段を見て流石にアホらしと忘れるよう努めてました。 レースゲーは好きなんですが、以前使用していたハンコンは同メーカーのシフトや高級ブレーキユニット購入、 折りたたみのコックピットチェアまで買ったもののやはり場所問題や未使用時の収納設置の面倒っぷりに嫌気が差し、 結局手放してパッド勢お気楽レースゲーマーとして、左スティックを延長して頑張っていました。 が、なんとなーく中古で安くなったりしてないかなぁと覗いてみたらなんとAmazonアウトレットで16000円以下！！の定価から約６０％引きで衝動的に購入。 質感や設計はどう考えても元が４万というぶっ飛んだ価格に似合うものではなく、マジでチープ。 トリガーストップもONOFFの差が非常に小さくてあってないような物。 通常のプロコンとして販売されているバージョンではスティックもイマイチな品質らしかったものの、 当製品はアップグレード版のスティックが付属とのことで、ソフトウェアによるデッドゾーン調整も可能で軽くFPSで試したところこちらは問題なし。 背面ボタンも主張しすぎず、しっかりグリップを握り込める絶妙な位置であるのも高ポイント。 しかし通常のゲームパッドとしては他レビュアーと同様、デケェし有線コンにしては重いと感じたうえ、 背面ボタンをガシガシ使いたい人にとっては軽く指をかけておける位置とは言えない場所にあるため、 単なるプロコンとして使うのなら絶対その辺の優良中華コン買ったほうが絶対幸せになれます。 メインのハンドルモジュールですが、まぁ左右でそれぞれ４０°づつの傾きとのことなのでこんなもんって感じですが、 実際にゲームを遊べばこの計９０°ちょいの角度は考えられてるなと感じました。 ハンドル的な動きで直感的かつ微調整のきくこの操作感は、想像以上にスティックとは別物。 ドリフト走行難易度はポジション調整のし易さもあって間違いなく下がりました。 当然のことながらハンコン同様慣れの為の練習は必要ですが、レースゲーパッドユーザーなら３レースでも走ればなんとなく感覚は掴めると思います。 ホームポジションの感覚を自分なりに確立させられれば、パッドでありながらこの自在感はクセになりますね。 アウトレットで格安で購入できたというのもありますが、多少はハンコンを手放した後悔の念も薄まるほどには満足しています。 トリガーストップの浅さも、レースゲーで使用する人はあまり居ないでしょうし、 私も使用するつもりもないのでここも問題なし。 と言いたいですが、そのトリガーに関して個人的大問題が一つ。 このパッド、何故かTストップOFFでもLRトリガーをいくら押し込んでも１００％押し込み判定になりません。 まるでトリガーの機構内部にゴムみたいなゴミでも挟まってるかのような感覚。 見るだけ見てみようと試しに背面シェルだけ分解してみると、どうやら１００％押し込んだときのカチカチ音を消すために薄いゴム板というかシールが貼り付けられて、これが悪さをしていた模様。 剥がしてやると静音性は犠牲になりますがしっかりと１００％押し込み可能となり満足満足・・・ ってこれはどう考えても欠陥でしょうが！！！ これもしかしてハンドルモジュール無しのバージョンで苦情を受けての対策でこうなったんでしょうか？。 レースゲーパッド勢にとってトリガー操作って超重要ですから、いくらソフトウェアでアウターデッドゾーン変更できるからって、 元が４万の高級プロコンで尚且つレースゲー用と謳っておいて、このお粗末さは流石にありえない。 この分解改修とアウトレット価格16000円で、個人的には満足行く結果になり☆４は付けてあげてもいいとは思ってたのですが、 24年5月時点でのAmazon価格約28000円となると、そもそもまず価格に似合わないチープさや大きさ重さ等問題だらけの製品ですし、 パッドレーサーにもFPS、アクションゲーマーにもオススメ出来るものではありません。 こんなものを気にいるかも不明瞭な状態で買うくらいなら、大人しくフリーク等のスティック延長系アタッチメントを試したほうがオススメです。

Nicht ganz billig, aber der beste Controller für Racing Gamer wie; The Crew/Forza Horizon/Need For Speed usw. es bedarf jedoch einiger gewöhnungszeit an das mini Lenkrad!!! ansonsten ist der Controller top für alles, der umbau zwischen Racing/Standard Controller geht ohne Probleme und die Auswahl wie man die ganzen Dinge darauf haben möchte ist einem selbst überlassen!!! <3

Muy cómodo la versatilidad y funcionamiento silencioso
