Thrustmaster TM SIM HUB - Connect Up To 4 Add-Ons for Consoles

In this review the Thrustmaster TM SIM HUB is judged as a practical accessory for sim racers who already own a compatible Thrustmaster wheel base and want to expand controls. The bottom line: it is for console and PC racers who need to add multiple official Thrustmaster peripherals simultaneously; the single biggest reason to buy is the simple, reliable way it lets you connect up to four Thrustmaster add-ons to one wheel base so you can run a shifter, handbrake and more without juggling ports or adapters. The review highlights compatibility with PS4 and Xbox One and notes the mandatory role it plays on Xbox when more than one add-on is required.

Key Features

• Four-port hub: Allows up to four Thrustmaster add-ons to be connected simultaneously, making multi-accessory setups straightforward and tidy.
• Direct DIN connection: Plugs into the mini-DIN port at the back of compatible Thrustmaster wheel bases for a single, clean connection to your console or PC.
• Console compatibility: Works with PS4 and Xbox One and supports multiple accessories on consoles that allow them, with Xbox requiring the hub for multi-add-on use.
• Accessory support: Designed to host current peripherals such as the TH8A gearbox and TSS handbrake plus future Thrustmaster add-ons sold separately.
• Build quality: Customers report a solid, well-made unit that fits the Thrustmaster ecosystem without bulky external adapters.

Who It's For

The TM SIM HUB is best for sim racers who already own a compatible Thrustmaster wheel base and want to expand into a multi-peripheral cockpit setup - shifters, handbrakes and other Thrustmaster add-ons connect cleanly and stay recognized by the wheel. It is especially useful for console players on Xbox systems where the hub is mandatory to use more than one add-on at a time.

It is less relevant for casual players who only ever use a single accessory or for owners of non-Thrustmaster peripherals, since the hub is specifically designed to extend Thrustmaster wheel bases and their mini-DIN add-on ports. Buyers seeking generic USB splitter functionality should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Enables up to four add-ons to run simultaneously, so a full cockpit layout is possible without extra adapters.
• Direct mini-DIN connection keeps wiring clean and uses the wheel base's dedicated add-on port.
• Works with popular Thrustmaster accessories like the TH8A and TSS handbrake, and is forward compatible with future add-ons.
• Customers praise the quality and reliability for gaming purposes, noting it feels well built.

Cons

• Compatibility is limited to Thrustmaster wheel bases with the proper DIN connector, so it is not a universal adapter.
• Some users report mixed experience with connectivity depending on wheel model and game support on PS4.

Our Verdict

The TM SIM HUB is a focused accessory that solves a common problem for Thrustmaster owners: how to run a shifter and handbrake (and more) from the same wheel base. It represents good value for anyone building a multi-peripheral console or PC cockpit because it is simple to install, well built, and purpose-designed for the Thrustmaster ecosystem. Buy it if you plan to expand your controls; skip it if you only need one accessory.
