For those who are having problems with the brake pedal, What are the exact symptoms you are experiencing ? I got mine last week ( T300 GTE ) and both the brake and accelerator pedal have a very slight dead zone at the top of the pedals ( maybe 5mm )... This is on PC and PS3/4 so I am pretty convinced its just how the pedals are as once playing in game it really isn't noticeable to me and seems to function just fine.

Kind of the opposite for me but only due to fitting a GTEYE brake spring to my previous G25 set ( a must have mod btw!), The T300 brake pedal offer a touch more progression than a standard Logitech set but not by much... I am enjoying the longer throw of the pedal just wish the brake had more resistance towards the end of the pedal travel. I can see a small spring in mine so hope someone comes up with something decent like the gteye for Logitech, the T300 pedals would be perfect then if you don't require a clutch and shifter ( another £200 expense
)The very small dead zone doesn't bother me and is 100% unnoticeable once in game
The Wheel itself is a work of art and I am very very happy with it coming from using a G25 for 5 years...Can tell where the bulk of the money has been spent on the Package , Brilliant wheel with just about average pedals.

Talking of the 3 pedal set and shifter: here (EU) I got word from a retailer that early January is the likely earliest delivery date. But they were quoting early December a few weeks ago so i'll believe it when I see it...
Seems like Thrustmaster absolutely can't make enough of them. Factory production problems or completely underestimated demand?

Wondering if there's been a change of manufacturer for Thrustmaster with all the debacles they had the products this year. Seems like restocking from major retailers took so much longer than usual. Darin from ISR contacted rep from Thrustmaster and they said it will be next week or so for TP3A and TH8A. Makes no sense for them to miss Christmas period.

Okay great wheel really smooth. Don't like 1080 deg. My wheel has a d pad too far inside to reach comfortably with my thumb that's a bit annoying and i miss the DFGT ring of control. The GTE buyton layout could be easier but hey!
Great to use but rubber needs sanding down on the inside of the wheel rim where your thumb might go.

What are your honest impressions about the T300RS when you compare it to your DFGT?

Hi guys, took delivery of my T300 today, will be playing on playstation exclusively for now. Any reason to update the firmware or shouldn't I need to?

Ok so I didn't update anything I just plugged the T300 into my ps3. I have the dreaded pedal issue where I get no input until about 30-50% into the pedal travel. I then connected to laptop and downloaded the drivers, same there, no input until far down in the pedal stroke. Disappointing. Has anyone figured out the cause yet? Obviously a common issue so is there a fault in the manufacturing or a simple assembly issue that can be fixed at home?

Don't think there is any firmware updates for the T300 yet. I haven't got round to opening mine up, might quickly set it up and see if there is anything wrong with wheel and pedals so if anything is wrong, I can get the replacement process started.
Where did you buy it, Captain Roh? I wanted to buy from Amazon UK but they are out of stock with no ETA. I have found it other places but worry a bit about returns given the issues some people are having.

Good idea dude, I fired off an email to both my retailer and thrustmaster themselves. Let's see what happens
I got mine from box.Co.uk. However I just went to grab you a link and it says they've sold out now too! Sorry bud
I think one of the reviews on Amazon pointed at the problem being a potentiometer incorrectly set. If I remember, the guy took the pedals apart and played around with it. i'll try and find a link and come back.
Just to add Amazon and DPD have been brilliant with my return/refund.
