Besides the Torque, both wheels are Direct Drive and have a Standard Quick Release. Thrustmaster T300 RS GT (B) has a lower torque output but is compatible with both PC and PS5. VRS DirectForce Pro (A) has a higher torque output and is only PC-compatible. On paper, A seems to be the more capable wheel.
I've seen countless users struggle with the T300 RS GT's reliability issues. People complain about overheating, broken QRs, and a host of other problems. Users are reporting that it can be a hassle to switch between PC and PS5 modes, and some have even experienced spontaneous failures after a few months. The big problem here is that users often feel they've been left high and dry by Thrustmaster's customer support. One user shared their horror story about dealing with overheating issues, and I won't sugarcoat it – it sounds like a nightmare. If you value your sanity, stay far away from this wheel. On the other hand, VRS DirectForce Pro owners seem to have a vastly different experience. They rave about the wheel's responsiveness and build quality, but there are some caveats. Users report that setting up the wheel in certain games can be a chore, especially if you're not tech-savvy. And while it's great that VRS offers high torque output, the trade-off is a premium price point. Let me put it this way: I've seen some users grumble about the cost, but they all agree – it's worth every penny.
For casual sim racers on a budget, the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT is...well, not great. It might be affordable, but you get what you pay for. However, if you're serious about sim racing and don't mind shelling out top dollar, VRS DirectForce Pro is the clear winner. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end experience with minimal hassle.
