The Thrustmaster TMX is a racing wheel released by Thrustmaster in May 2016. It is the Xbox-compatible version of the T150.
Like the T150, it has a hybrid belt-pulley-and-gear-driven force feedback powered by a 2Nm motor. As with other Thrustmaster wheels, it has Thrustmaster's proprietary wheel quick release system and hall-sensor-based steering position tracking. There's an additional Mini-DIN port on the back for accessories. Unlike the T150 which has 1080 degrees of steering range, the TMX has the 900 degrees of steering range, similar to the TX.
The TMX comes in two packages. The base TMX comes with a wheel base, a steering wheel and a 2-pedal T2PA pedal set. The TMX PRO, released in 2018, is mostly the same as the base package, with the exception of having the T2PA replaced with a 3-pedal T3PA pedal set.
On PC, the TMX is compatible with games that support it, but requires to have Thrustmaster's driver to be installed to work. The wheel's settings can be adjust within the control panel (See Thrustmaster Control Panel).
