Thrustmaster TSS Handbrake
The Thrustmaster TSS Handbrake is a 2-in-1 rally control: a progressive handbrake for drifting and tight turns, and a sequential shifter for quick, controlled gear changes.
Inspired by professional equipment and built at 1:1 scale from 90% metal, it works on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
It is part of the Thrustmaster range.
Key features
- Progressive handbrake mode
- Sequential shifter mode
- Vertical Rally or horizontal GT position
- Lever inclination adjustment kit
- 90% metal: steel and aluminium
- German-made slide bearings
- Industrial flat coil springs, 4kg resistance
- H.E.A.R.T Hall effect magnetic sensors
- 1:1 scale with shaped knob
- Cockpit or TM Racing Clamp mounting
Two modes in one
Use progressive handbrake mode for better control through hairpins and drifts, or switch to sequential shifter mode for responsive up and down shifts.
The handbrake can be set vertically for Rally mode or horizontally for GT mode, and the included kit lets you adjust the lever's inclination.
Built from quality components
The TSS is made from 90% metal, in steel and aluminium. It uses German-made slide bearings and industrial-class flat coil springs with 4kg of resistance.
Magnetic precision
H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology uses magnetic sensors, so precision stays consistent and does not degrade over time.
The 1:1 scale lever and hand-shaped knob make it feel like the real thing. See our sim racing handbrakes for more.
Part of the Thrustmaster racing ecosystem
On PS5, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S the TSS Handbrake connects through compatible Thrustmaster wheels: T128, T248, T-GT and T-GT II, T300 series, TS-XW, TX series and T598. On PC it works with all racing wheels via USB.
Pair it with a shifter such as the Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter for a full rally setup.
Our expert take
"For rally fans the TSS is a proper upgrade over a button-mapped handbrake. Having it switch between handbrake and sequential modes means one device covers both rally stages and sequential-box race cars."
"On console it needs a compatible Thrustmaster wheel to connect through, and you need a cockpit or a clamp to mount it."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
