Thrustmaster T300 RS

Haven't used it much yet to be honest but it's pretty sturdy from what I can tell so far. It certainly wouldn't flip over or anything like that and it didn't move around at all when I did have a chance to use it.

My main concern with any seat will be how sturdy the whole assembly is. At the moment I'm fixed to a desk and it get's thrown around the place during a season, it's constantly moving so I can end up twisted by the end of a race, (not drunk) as the table moving means the pedals, wheel and chair can be at different angles.

The only thing putting me off the seats I see is the monitor will be miles away from the back of the steering wheel. Currently the monitor is pushed right up to the back of the wheel so the wheel appears to be part of the dash.

All those problems would disapear with the rift though, so I'm apprehensive about buying anything until the rift comes out. My initial attempts at welding a desk out of steel didn't go too well.

Well I'm clearly not as lively as you so I tend to not move much so the seat stays where it should I feel your pain on the monitor though, I move it right up to the edge of the desk when playing so its right beside the wheel which as you can see form the pic is right up to the desk, with the pedals underneath. I still need a bigger one though cos the oul mincers aren't as sharp as they used to be! That's my next investment. Defo like the look of VR too, we'll be taking a strong look at that myself at the time.

Mode light and button on my T300RS doesn't work. Don't know whether to return it or not. Seems trivial but then again it wasn't cheap so should work.Looking on GTplanet it seems loads have issues with this wheel and my issue is small in comparison! The wheel and pedals work fine so really the only thing I can't do is change the clutch and accelerator pedals around if I bought a T3PA and I can't change degree's of rotation on the fly. Annoying though.

If it's any consultation, that mode button is pretty much useless anyway. It generally gets reset every time you load into a new practice, qualifying or race session in most games, and in some games (such as PCARS), it won't work once you are in the garage.

Sound ta. Emailed them about it, might be a way to reset. Don't think I'll bother sending it back, the main functions work which is the main thing. Any idea if it's a one or two year warranty with them?
