The Thrustmaster T300 is a racing wheel released by Thrustmaster on August 15, 2014. It is the PlayStation-compatible version of the Thrustmaster TX.

The T300 is essentially the same as the TX, and as such, most of the features of the TX were carried over, including a dual-belt-and-pulley-driven force feedback powered by a single 3.9Nm brushless motor, Thrustmaster's proprietary wheel quick release system and hall-sensor-based steering position tracking. However, what set the T300 apart from the TX is that it has 1080 degree of steering rotation instead of 900 degree on the TX. There's an additional Mini-DIN port on the back for accessories.

The T300 comes in several packages; The base T300RS package comes with a standard aluminum wheel with PlayStation buttons on it[Note 1] and a T2PA 2-pedal set.[1] The T300 Ferrari GTE, launched alongside the base package, has the Ferrari-branded wheel and a T2PA 2-pedal set.[2] The T300 Ferrari Integral Racing Wheel Alcantara Edition, released in October 2015, come with an Alcantara-wrapped Ferrari-branded wheel and a T3PA 3-pedal set.[3] The T300RS GT Edition, released in December 2016, has a Gran Turismo-branded version of the standard wheel and a T3PA 3-pedal set.[4] The T300 wheel base is also available for sale on its own .

On PC, the T300 is compatible with games that support it, but requires the wheel to be in PS3/PC mode and have Thrustmaster's driver to be installed to work. The wheel's settings can be adjust within the control panel (See Thrustmaster Control Panel).
