Thrustmaster T818 Black Edition (10 Nm)
The Black Edition is the current retail SKU of the 10 Nm T818 direct-drive platform, carrying the same Thrustmaster quick release. It's the version to buy today for enthusiasts moving up to direct drive on existing Thrustmaster gear. As with the original T818, it's PC-only — console racers should rule it out.
