These two do not quote torque the same way. Logitech G does not say whether the RS50 System's 8 Nm is peak, holding, or continuous. Thrustmaster states continuous for the T818 Black Edition. The figures are printed as published, and we do not rank one against the other, because that would be arithmetic on unlike measurements.
