Plug in and drive
Out of the box the wheel shows up on the Mac in a limited mode only. WheelBridge switches it to full mode automatically when you plug it in – no Terminal, no password prompt every time.
In development · Macs with Apple silicon
Your Thrustmaster wheel. Finally on the Mac.
WheelBridge is meant to make wheels like the Thrustmaster T300 RS fully usable on the Mac: automatic mode switching when you plug it in, steering, pedals and paddle shifters – and force feedback you can actually feel. No Terminal, no disabling system protection.
Whether we build WheelBridge depends on demand. Registering is free and commits you to nothing.

What WheelBridge is meant to do
Thrustmaster doesn't offer a Mac driver for its racing wheels. WheelBridge is meant to close that gap – as a regular app you simply install.
Steering, pedals and paddles
Full steering resolution, throttle, brake and clutch as separate axes, plus paddle shifters and buttons – for every program that reads racing wheels and joysticks directly.
Force feedback
Self-aligning torque, road bumps and vibrations right in the wheel – for programs that request forces. We'll work out which programs are supported during development and list them here.
Settings like a wheel driver
Rotation range from 40° to 1080°, overall force strength and centering spring – set them once and WheelBridge remembers.
Safe, even when a game crashes
If a game quits unexpectedly, WheelBridge stops all forces right away. The wheel never keeps pushing when nobody is steering.
Through the Mac App Store
The plan is a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store: reviewed by Apple, automatic updates, no subscription and no disabling of security features.
Where we are
The technology already works: in our prototype, a racing game runs on the Mac with the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT – with steering, throttle, brake, paddle shifters and force feedback including self-aligning torque, bumps and vibrations. No Thrustmaster driver and no disabling of system protection.
The next step would be a standalone app that makes this available for your wheel in general. That's a big project, so we're asking first how many people would really use it – and with which wheels and programs.

With enough interest: building the app for the Mac App Store

A few short questions help us decide whether – and for what – to build WheelBridge. We'll get in touch when there's news, and only for that.
Frequently asked questions
Something else on your mind? Write to us.
Is WheelBridge available yet?＋
Not yet. The technology works in a prototype; we'll build the app if there's enough interest. Everyone who registers hears about it first.
Is registering binding?＋
No. You commit to nothing and pay nothing. The price question only helps us judge whether development is worthwhile.
Which wheels will be supported?＋
So far we've tested the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT; the T300 RS should behave the same. Related models such as the T248 or TX use similar protocols. Which ones we add depends on the registrations.
Which Macs are required?＋
We're planning for Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 13 or later. Whether Intel Macs follow depends on demand.
Will force feedback work in every game?＋
No. A game has to request forces itself, and many Mac games don't. Steering and pedals will work in far more programs than force feedback. Once we know which programs are supported, we'll publish a list.
Do I have to disable System Integrity Protection (SIP)?＋
No. WheelBridge is meant to work with macOS's security features, like any app from the Mac App Store.
Is WheelBridge a Thrustmaster product?＋
No. WheelBridge is an independent project by STG Ventures GmbH and is not affiliated with Thrustmaster or Guillemot.

What happens to your registration
This page stores nothing itself. Your registration only reaches us when you send the prepared email. The controller is STG Ventures GmbH (address in the imprint).
We use your email address and answers only to evaluate demand for WheelBridge and to keep you informed about the project. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). We don't share anything and don't send a general newsletter.
If WheelBridge isn't developed, we delete the registrations; otherwise at the latest after the app launches, unless you explicitly want further news. You can request access, withdraw your consent and ask for deletion at any time – a short email to info@stgventures.de is enough.
