Coming from a T300, their T818 gives feedback on slides before they even start.

positivedetailed force feedback

Has had the T818 since before Christmas and says it's a great base, preferring it to a CSL DD they tried.

positive

Very happy with their T818 after an SF1000 setup; preferred it over several other DD bases.

positive

Going from a heavily modded T300 to the T818 has been fantastic.

positive

Their T818 is a big step up from a TS-XW in power and FFB detail, and silent.

Really impressed with their new T818 in ACC: much clearer, stronger feedback.

Had to ship their T818 back to France for repair a few months after December.

Their T818 had the cursed power unit problem with its odd plug.

Owned a T818 and wouldn't recommend it: not bad but not worth the price.

negative

Upgraded from a T300 and the T818's FFB is on another level, but firmware updates and other issues hit out of the box.

mixedbad software

A month in, their T818 makes sudden turns mid-race despite trying every fix.

negativequality control issues

Races iRacing 2–3 hours daily on a Thrustmaster T818 and finds it works well and is strong enough.

positive

Has a fully functioning Thrustmaster T818 and finds it more powerful than they need.

positive

Has owned a Thrustmaster T818 since December and hasn't regretted it; at an expo it felt better to them than the Fanatec and Asetek bases they tried.

positive

Upgraded from a G29 to a Thrustmaster T818 bundle; it's silent and super smooth, and in iRacing they can control the car far better.

positive

Sent their Thrustmaster T818 back for friction and knocking noises and has only had good experiences with Thrustmaster support, including free replacement parts.

mixednoisy

Their Thrustmaster T818's power supply failed; the replacement failed again within two weeks, so they plan to move to MOZA.
