If you currently own the T500RS or even the T300 and have not yet done the latest driver and firmware update, you may want to delay doing so.
My T500RS steering wheel (with Ferrari GTE rim add-on) has been faultless since the start of ownership.
It has been functioning without a single hiccup on driver 4.TTRS.2016 (firmware 43) driver 2.9.1.0 prior to installing the new package 6.TTRS.2017 (firmware 46) and driver 2.10.6.0.
After a 'clean' install of the new driver and firmware, only the original chrome, static paddles are working correctly.
Neither one of the paddle shifters on the GTE rim and only a select few buttons on that wheel rim, respond in the TM Control Panel.
I am running Windows 10-64 version 1709 Creator edition (Build 16299.19). with all drivers throughout the computer up to date.
My previous driver package was removed using the add/remove feature in Windows.
The wheel had been left unplugged prior to starting the PC initially, in anticipation of the older driver removal.
The PC was then restarted and the newer Thrustmaster driver package installed...with the wheel reconnected only on request.
The firmware update was initiated after the restart on completing the driver install.
The firmware process was reported as successfully completed with all three green check boxes accepted.
I've submitted a report to Thrustmaster and will update the findings.
