Steam doesn't recognize the Thrustmaster T150RS Racing Wheel
Hello,

since the Thrustmaster Support said i installed the drivers and everything correct, i will try here. I bought a T150 Wheel, but neither steam (big picture) nor any supported game (pCars, F1 2017, Asetto Corsa) are recognizing the wheel as controller. They dont even show up in the menu. Steam doesnt recognize any buttons or something, but the wheel is clearly working - since the FBB-Test do work.

I tried to reinstall the drivers, restart, use different usb, etc. Nothing worked.

Is there a specific setting for wheel/controllers?

Thanks for the help!

leave Steam out of the equation, disable every configuration support in steam controller settings. try again. the games you wanna play should have native support for a large variety of racing wheels, Steam interfering could be a reason it doesn't work.

OMG you are my hero! It worked. Thanks a lot!

Kinda stupid that the steam controller support was the problem.

I got a problem aswell and i cant get it fixed.

I got a t150 pro,FF, the wheel and gas brake pedals are working but my gear up/down aint.
Ingame the wheel is recognized. Also when im trying to bind it to other functions its not recognizing it.

Its not recognized in steam big picture and im not getting it to work properly.

Am i an idiot or smthing that i cant get it fixed. Wanna start raging because of this:D

As far as I remember the T150 needs to be set to the PS3 position for PC to work. I'm not at home so can't check. Unknown whether the RS is the same.

Secondly have you downloaded and installed the driver.

Finally disable all Steam inputs for the game you are playing. You only need the driver and the native support the game provides.

Hey, first of all thx for the fast responce.

Its on ps3, drivers are installed, firmware is 21(as stated on the tm website).
Again, everything is working just not the shifters+option button.

What do you mean with steam inputs? In big picture? If so, yes everything is checked off.

Nevermind, when im testing the buttons in the software shifters are not working:(

Steam inputs, yes via settings or big picture.

Which game is it?

You could look for a solution on the game forum.

This is off the top of my head as I am currently not at home.

Make sure Steam is closed. Next shutdown your PC and check all connections for your wheel.

Unplug the usb, boot your PC then connect wheel once on Windows.

Calibrate and setup the wheel via the Thrustmaster control panel which should be in the start menu. Check all buttons etc work.

Next open Steam, boot F1 2020 and check it detects the wheel.

Next choose the Thrustmaster config but do a custom configuration by checking all buttons etc register. If this checks out save the custom config as default. Now test in game

Everything detected ingame and it worked except for the shift pedals.
Anyway, i just tested it on a ps4 at my cousin's place and its tesame problem, cant blame steam now:).

Returned the wheel and ordering a new one.

Thx for the effort tho:) appreciate it:)
