It has its target and it executes phenomenally well.
Whether that’s in design or features.
Thrustmaster, better known for its racing and flight sim hardware, has done just that, though.
The modules can be used in any of three slots on the controller.
But I’m here to tell you it’s anything but.

The rear buttons and trigger stops.
In both cases, you could hit up your local Amazon store to buy.
For those looking for a pro-grade controller, it ticks all the boxes.
The modules just pop out and pop back in where you want them.
A micro USB port in 2023? Sigh.
It feels high-quality and comfortable to hold.
The overall shape is reminiscent of the Xbox controller, and that’s good.
The first is that it still uses a micro USB cable and not USB-C.
The carry bag is a nice touch, but still too small really.
But it’s still micro USB.
And that standard should have died out by now.
There’s also the carry bag that comes with it.
The wheel module is a game changer for racing fans.
On one hand, I love to see this.
But on the other, it isn’t very big.
So it seems a little poorly thought out.
The wheel module is available separately if you already have a controller.
It’s unashamedly targeted at digital racing, and that’s OK.
Here’s how I had it set up.
I kept the two analog sticks in the preferred offset configuration that we Xbox gamers love.
Then I just replaced the D-Pad with the wheel.
Just working is a key part of this, too.
Racing games will recognize it, and you simply use it in place of a stick.
The dedicated controller is awesome, as seen here, but the wheel module is available separately.
So for a $30 outlay, it’s possible for you to upgrade your existing controller.
There’s nothing else like it right now.
It is unique and brilliant.
It’s available separately to buy to add into your existing setup.
