Mario D. Zmaj ye i crashed mine yesterday and was shocked when no airbags popped out. Ive filed a few thousand complaints and I’ve been told to go away. Logitech cant admit that they’ve forgot a vital safety feature
a random callsign ye that is pretty stupid. I guess you can plug your playstation in but thats another unsafe feature as it distracts you from driving. Logitech need to work on their safety features
I got my G29 for £120 from Argos Black Friday sale last year. It's a pretty good wheel. For me the main advantage over the G25 is having all the extra buttons so you can adjust brake bias, pit strategy etc. without the distraction of having to reach to the keyboard while driving.
James Andrew Why reviewing this gear again, good low entry gear PS gear, PC too. Not as good as a real Car, cheap and good enough to play games, not needing anything pro.
I just got the wheel and for me is garbage compared to my old G25... Pedals suck with the rubber... I'm using G25 pedals and stupidly G29 still only reads only almost half pedal like if it had the rubber, the rest of the travel is always at 100%... After one hour of use for the first time with FFB set to like 80% on Assetto Corsa, now while turning to the left even without power the G29 makes a metallic whine noise. FFB works very bad and worse than G25, the new software is a 300mb+ of all-in-one garbageware from logitech when I don't even own anything else from them, it only uses more space, more ram and more processes on windows for crap that I don't care, they could have made a simpler wheels only driver... Also there isnt almost any settings and nothing to test the wheel like the old G25\G27 software had, windows devices read the wheel as a generic controller and can't reduce FFB anywhere other than on game settings while on G25 I usually used 70% max FFB power and could leave any game at 100% and the software kept the wheel with lower FFB output so that it doesnt wear the motors faster and so that they do not heat a lot too, now I have to keep setting up FFB for each game grrr... PS: Coming from G25, G29 is pure garbage, and the buttons on the G25 shifter were much better for like handbrake and shit, now I can't hard turn while pressing a button built-in the wheel for handbrake and the G29 shifter doesnt have a single button as far as I know, haven't bought it yet. with G25 shifter we could just use the semi-auto setting and use it as a handbrake (I'm probably gonna try finding a way to resolder the connectors of the G25 shifter to work on G29).
Ste's stuff People have said the same thing to me! I wanted a G29 because of the price, but now, people are telling me to either get a G27 or look elsewhere! I'm looking at a T300RS right now
This wheel is great. The force feedback is great for drifting and racing because the force feedback is powerful and detailed. The wheel itself is pretty comfortable. The shifter is very disappointing for it's price though. That's the only thing that's bugging me with this rig.
Good review. My T-150 (which I've had for the last 2 years) is a very good introduction to sim racing. The force feed back is good enough to understand what the car is doing and it responds to input very well, but wear and tear has taken its toll and I have been thinking about an upgrade for some time. The G29 has always been on the cards but the price has put me off. Today I went to a well known uk technology exchange outlet to see if the had any wheels and they said they had a T-150 so I thought I'd see what condition it was and asked to see it (as my current one is knackered) the sales person brings out an absolutely mint condition G29 with pedals. I look at him and I ask him how much is it..... £88 he says. I look at him to see if he realises his mistake and he just looks at me... I'll take it! He bags it up and off I leave with a used T-150 (which is really a G29 in mint condition) This is what happens when you employ staff who don't have any product knowledge!
Personally, I'm not a big fan of the looks. I prefer the Thrustmaster TMX (It's basically the same thing as the T150, just for Xbox). It's just my opinion
I'm working on it. One thing at a time. I guess the only thing missing after that would be a legit handbrake. There isn't one for the PS4 if I'm not mistaken.

I have had my G29 for the PC for over a year now for Project Cars 2 and F1 2017/18 and I have to say it has been perfect and is still in great shape. This is a really well made wheel that does not break the bank...Great review..
I have raced with a G27 for 8 years and liked it so much when they came out with the G29 I purchased a second wheel that never been removed from the box. I have had no reason to change to the NEW G27 sitting in my closet as the one I'm using with well over 100,000 laps on it. How competitive am I ? I have won the Daytona 500 and the Indy 500 I have won the championship in the TOUR-Mod division one, There are surely many better than I am but my point is no matter the wheel I have raced with drivers who are 6000 IR with mine being 4100 , I don't believe a $1500 wheel would rise my IR measurable amount. The fact is a wheel will not make a 3000 IR driver a 4000IR driver. Would it raise my IR 100 or 200 IR maybe but that would bring me little if any additional victories. If you have the money and just want a $1500 wheel I'd recommend buying one because you want it! But if you are looking to improve your finishes against the same competition that you can't beat now then you be wasting your money! I have beaten drivers with much more costly wheels and I have lost to them as well but over time the same drivers as in the real world come to the top more often it comes down to setup, skill and time you wish to dedicate.. One thing I noticed that like in the real world younger drivers over all tend to be faster! Age will play a factor no matter no injury worries my guess the reflexives of the younger simply show up... Anyway I have raced with the G27 for over 8 years and enjoyed it I don't feel like I have lost any of my races due to my wheel. I'd recommend up grading pedals before wheel the braking is critical and throttle response. My up graded pedals improved my lap time slightly on Ovals , while not much I do believe they would be a better choice for your first up grade. At 61 I'm enjoying every bit of this hobby and look forward to my next race and my next up grade maybe a direct wheel who knows but I will not do so in hopes it brings me more wins but just simply a better feel maybe more real.... race on a racing friend.
I tied out both the G29 and the T300 RS and personally I prefer the T300 wheel it's a lot smoother than the G29 granted it's more expensive but I would much rather wait to get the money to afford it than buy the G29
I've heard a few criticisms of the brake pedal feel and response - It feels pretty real to me - and I've owned a variety of sports cars for real over the years - a lotus 7 kit car copy (why the hell did I sell it, best and worst car I ever had), two mid engined Itallian sports cars (both rusty X1/9's - I know exactly why I sold them) and more recently a mid engined car with paddle shift - Ok it was just a Smart Roadster but handled great but needed 3x the engine power and better waterproofing - it was killed by a 8" deep puddle. I'm loving sim racing - so much more afordable - and my G29 wheel, H shifter and pedals have made me very happy. Makes up for the minivan needed by my band.
Just got mine few hours ago. Very good quality, packaging lets just say overprotected, overall service was amazing because delivery was faster that I thought. As for the setup was kinda hard due to cable management. As far as using it, I thought it would be easy but honestly controller is easier. I guess I need practice! My tip is to use a rubber carpet under the pedals cause it will move, also click open the carpet grip under the pedals. Works awesome!
I've had many problems with the throttle just spazing out on my g920on 2 units, both i used maybe 5-10 hours a week for 6 months and both were taken apart and thoroughly cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and compressed air, also long term issues with the wheel its self, tends to feel a bit rougher when turning the wheel and the wheel tends to wiggle maybe 2-3 mm from the hub. Definitely binning my g920 and going for a higher end thrustmaster set up.
My current setup is g29 + shifter + playseat evolution. The only problem i have with the g29 is that the force feedback is a little too weak for my liking. And as said in the video the brake pedal is a little weird
My first DFGT used to slip off the table with more heavy use. I would put rubber squares (cut out from an old bike inner tube) under the clamps, to stop the wheel from sliding around. This should work on Logitech G wheels as well, because they have the same clamping system. Interestingly, another DFGT I got some years later didn't have that problem
I got mine g29 for 170€ and i have modded flipped pedals to it and that is a Awesome deal! I got it a year ago and it has seen some better days for sure.. but only thing that does not work is the clutch because my clutch spring broke :( And i got the shifter for 60€ which is expensive but that is the price in here
I have this wheel for over a year now and no problems. It's good enough for me. Just missing a handbrake for dirt rally (I've told Logitech about it and they said they'd comment to their team)
i own both the g29 and t150 pro. I disagree that the T150 has a better force feedback or is smoother. The G29's wheel rim just feels so much better than the regular T150 wheel which feels cheap and plasticky. The T150 also makes unrefined noises and sounds like something may be breaking inside of it. I like the higher resistance that the G29 wheel provides. The pedals are no comparison. The T3pa pedals that the T150 pro come with are nice, but they have too little resistance. The G29 pedals are just as nice to look at and you get more feedback from them. The Brake pedal on the G29 took some time to get used to, but once you get used to it it is a better brake than the T150. To me it's not even close, the G29 is the better wheel, it feels like a higher quality product. My 2 cents.
I think it is the best "cheaper" Wheel for play ... i have mine since last summer, it still very new and works perfect even playing 1h/day almost every day... Since i setup a RasmusP's LUT it has improved a lot! it is like a new wheel.. much better... i recommend.
The g29 was my first (and still my only) racing wheel/pedal set. I've had good experiences with it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get serious into sim racing. I've had some hiccups trying to use it on older games, but I chalk that up to the games themselves, not to a fault of logitech or the g29. I do have the shifter, as well, and can say that while it works and does add a degree of immersion compared to not having any h-pattern shifter, it feels much more like a toy than the wheel and pedals themselves. I wasn't a fan of the 'two stage' brake pedal, myself, and removed the rubber block inside the spring. I think it makes the brakes far easier to control, myself...but your mileage may vary. Great review, RC.
@@ian260672 Appreciate your response. I did indeed download the aforementioned drivers but they didn't work, I also had compatibility issues with my other Gskill products (Logitech 801 keyboard & 502 Hero) - Logitech was frankly of little help - there's a workaround for this issues here on YT that sorted it. Excellent products suspect support & drivers. TBF the same can be said of many competitors.
i run the G920 on PC and Xbox, great wheel, i would advise A-Frame for better stability, and you are so right in regards to the leads being under the wheel, when setting up my Gear shift had to undo it all to plug it in, and i noticed i have squashed 1 of the leads, i just modded my gear shift duie to logitech not being sequential cost me like AU$1 lol. thats the only think that let me down, yes i know you can buy the mod kit online but 2 screws and a 40mm O ring done.
I love my g29, I use it for dirt rally and load a preset off the steam workshop which makes the ffb more realistic, I recommend getting it with the shifter, it's more immersive for rally games with the shifter
I've used G29 myself long time and say its really good but only downside is the rattling issue caused by the engines it runs with. it can be altered with modding work but no way I take the risk till I can afford direct drive wheel in the future or possible replacement ^^' with pedals I plan to get better springs there and alter some stuff, to see how it works out eventually.
I was inbetween the R29 and the T300RS, when i rad on the net how many People had problem with the T300, something like more then 50% had dying motors or other problems so i looked up the T500 it didnt had those problems but with H shifter it costed a lot more and im a casual driver, first how often will i play racing games, i play everything across and have phases where i play 1 week long just one genre of game. I rather got my self the G29 + H Shifter for 250€ and with the Difference to the T500 + Shifter i went out to the Theater and other stuff with my Wife. In the End i did not regret getting the G29, for how often i use it, the T500 would have been a waste of Equipment and my usage. If i really want to get into racing competive i would push everything out of my G29 till it dies and then i would get the T500.
I wish that we had more proper budget options. Even 100USD is quite an investment and when you're buying second hand, you always run the risk of having a dusty or worn-out hardware. Not that I'll ever see one being sold in my country.
I feel in asseto corsa the deadzone in the middle was really bad at first (maybe an inch of play), until I tuned it out. But theres a fine line between little, to no deadzone and clipping FFB on this wheel.. But I'm a just a casual sim racer so who knows..
Hey, I want to show my dad my wheel, but he is usually really tough on steering wheels, he likes to push and pull on them when he is driving, (last time I let him use a wheel he ripped it of my desk on accident). Should this wheel be durable enough to let him drive with it. He's a strong guy and I don't want him to loosen the stiffness of the wheel. Thanks.
That rubber could be replicating real car which occurs on real car you press down and the pedal without much resistance but still brakes (lightly)and untill you press harder you will feel it stiff.
Thrustmaster TMX is such a better choice at half the cost. There's a major dead spot in the wheel from about 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, only found out when I bought one, NOBODY wants to talk about this is reviews, TMX is WAY better.
If you can wait until black Friday, it always goes on sale, though if you want the shifter, you only save about £30, but £60 off without the shifter (if previous black friday sales are good to go on)
Thank you for this review, I'm sort of new to the racing sim scene and now that I got a VR head set I wanted to complete the package with a steering wheel with shifter. I got lucky cos i got this G29 with the Shifter for only £148. (Black Friday Yeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh!) One question tho. Do you need to download any other software programs to help with compatibility on PC?
Did you not notice the mile long center deadzone that the G29 has with AC? I was extremely disappointed with mine, once you center the wheel it’s like playing with a child’s toy.
very thorough overview on wheel, and some heads ups about the pedals. Thanks! I had 1 question I haven't found an answer for yet in a few of ppl's G29 vids - is the wheel calibratable to a certain degree you wish the tires to turn in-game? such as like I'd like 180-210 deg. to be full turn
Personally, I would take the TMX Pro (It's basically the same as the T150 Pro, but it's for Xbox) because personally I prefer the looks of the TMX over the G920* and I like the pedals a little bit more and the shifter, even if its way more expensive, it has 7 gears**, you can use it as a sequential shifter, the quality is better and you can easily change the gear knob *I'm on Xbox **You don't really need 7 gears, but it's still better:)
Id recommend geting the shifter as well ..it really feels good altho its a bit too easy to shift ..but on 3DRap.it you can get mods to modify the shifter to be: Harder to Shift, Equipped with better clamps or turn the Shifter itself into a Sequential shifter. G29 is my first Real Wheel i bought (Because my HAMA Thunder V5 is absolute garbage) and i am amazed how it feels. but im somewhat scared of wear and tear over time ..i heard that potentiometers can wear off and stuff but it should be easily replacable .. How long does the G29 last till parts have to be replaced?
I have the 920, and let me tell you... I wish I got a G29 instead. This thing has been trouble out of the box. It's so bad that it's been dropped as a compatible wheel on a lot of modern releases because the firmware on it is garbage. I love how every time I'm playing a game paused in a menu the wheel wants to rotate all the way to the left, that the brake pedal is stiff as a board (I took it apart and took the rubber block out. Much nicer now), some games can't adjust their sensitivity with this wheel.... The only thing it has going for it is it's stealth black.
For anyone with a G29 and suffers from the infamous wheel squeak, I can attest that this fix works (* Warrantee WILL be voided *): 1. Disassemble the wheel base so that the 2 motors are exposed as demonstrated in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DxT2UOmHN-I/v-deo.html NOTE: (there are A LOT of screws, make sure to keep them in a safe place). 2. Spray some WD-40 or any other comparable lubricant in the vent openings at the bottom of each motor (it's a bit hard to tell which motor the squeak comes from so I sprayed some in both). 3. Give the wheel shaft a few turns and make sure the squeak is completely neutralized. This completely got rid of the annoying squeak noise when turning left/right and made the wheel infinitely more enjoyable to use. I was contemplating sending my g29 back to get it repaired but I was confident that it was a simple fix and had the right tools for the job. Hopefully this helps someone out as this fix just isn't readily available.
I have the Logitech G920 and i have notice a delay in throttle and braking with the games i play: PC2 & AC Has anyone else experienced this problem and were you able to sort it out? there are videos where guys are taking apart their peddles and removing the rubber that is in the braking peddle. any help would be much appreciated. BTW i bought the Logitech today, was so excited then the braking and throttle delay happened Thank you.
@@sirius9108 not "they", just the brake pedal, compared to my car that i drive IRL. also i mostly play F1 so you have to be really smooth and gradual on the brakes to avoid locking up i'm happy with my G920, don't consider upgrading to anything else at the moment. pedals feel good, wheel feels good
Just wanted to point out regarding having a clutch without a separate shifter what's the use? Well if you want to drift without clutch it's almost impossible hence why even if you don't have a shifter you should use clutch and you can use the paddle shifts to shift, also the pedals are heavier so no sliding as much as a two peddle set. I have a t300rs with t3pa pro that I bought separately main reason why I prefer thrustmaster over logitech is due to the ffb like in logitech its had gears which means loud clunky and not very smooth and accurate ffb especially when you get gear skipping compared to a belt driven wheel l. When I had my first wheel which was thrustmaster f430 ferrari ffb wheel and then later got a g27 it was like night and day difference. Even though the f430ffb was only 270 degree wheel the ffb was miles difference to the g27 it seemed like the f430ffb was much higher quality and more expensive even though the g27 was higher tier wheel.
Not recommended to use with ps4 the wheel is too much noisy i dint try it with pc but look like setting on pc is much better but most of racing peoples like the thrustmaster since its more realistic than the g29.
Tmx pro seems pretty expensive so I think I’ll go with the Tmx since it’s the same wheel and then once I’m sure I like everything I’ll invest more in the th8a and the pro pedals
Tbh t300 is slightly better only slightly if U want a ch aperture deal that U can add mods to to made better then the g29 is the go I will be doing a review when I have build my simulator... It's going to be a driving/flight/motorsport style build so it'll be a hybrid which is rare
i notice it doesn't have an airbag, not really good for safety.

I've heard a few criticisms of the brake pedal feel and response - It feels pretty real to me - and I've owned a variety of sports cars for real over the years - a lotus 7 kit car copy (why the hell did I sell it, best and worst car I ever had), two mid engined Itallian sports cars (both rusty X1/9's - I know exactly why I sold them) and more recently a mid engined car with paddle shift - Ok it was just a Smart Roadster but handled great but needed 3x the engine power and better waterproofing - it was killed by a 8" deep puddle. I'm loving sim racing - so much more afordable - and my G29 wheel, H shifter and pedals have made me very happy. Makes up for the minivan needed by my band.
Dude, the plastic on the PS logo though!!!!!
Just got mine few hours ago. Very good quality, packaging lets just say overprotected, overall service was amazing because delivery was faster that I thought.
As for the setup was kinda hard due to cable management. As far as using it, I thought it would be easy but honestly controller is easier. I guess I need practice!
My tip is to use a rubber carpet under the pedals cause it will move, also click open the carpet grip under the pedals. Works awesome!
I found an anvil of all things and put that behind the pedals, not moving after that lol
@@thedarkshogun88 LOL! Well if it works go ahead.
An anvil... Will e. Coyote will be proud
@@danielalfred937 A non permanent solution until I get a new desk setup sorted and then I can put them close to the wall.
@@thedarkshogun88 wtf
I'm not even interested in using a wheel, but watched this whole video. Why am I here?
sim racing with out a wheels not racing.
Me don’t know
I've had many problems with the throttle just spazing out on my g920on 2 units, both i used maybe 5-10 hours a week for 6 months and both were taken apart and thoroughly cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and compressed air, also long term issues with the wheel its self, tends to feel a bit rougher when turning the wheel and the wheel tends to wiggle maybe 2-3 mm from the hub.
Definitely binning my g920 and going for a higher end thrustmaster set up.
Wheelgamers Jack yea i have the same issues as you honestly sick of it now
How is the thrustmaster now compared to the g29 i get lot of noise from the g29 and i decided to return it back am planning to get thrustmaster wheel
Mine lasted 1 year and a couple months and I got the throttle problem
thrustmaster is also garbage. plastic as fuck and QC hell. honestly there needs to be some fucking competition in midrange simracing equipment
My current setup is g29 + shifter + playseat evolution. The only problem i have with the g29 is that the force feedback is a little too weak for my liking.
And as said in the video the brake pedal is a little weird
How's the plays eat evolution I plan on getting it
Lol someone said the force feedback broke his metacarpal on Amazon rated it a 1 star because he thought it was too strong lmao
I have a conquer racing seat and a Logitech g29 with a shifter
@@pryvisee that's when you get an actual 350mm steering wheel. It'll be much better
if you need better brakes would 200% recommend a loadcell
I can just imagine me speeding overtaking cars on the highway ;D
My first DFGT used to slip off the table with more heavy use. I would put rubber squares (cut out from an old bike inner tube) under the clamps, to stop the wheel from sliding around. This should work on Logitech G wheels as well, because they have the same clamping system.
Interestingly, another DFGT I got some years later didn't have that problem
I got mine g29 for 170€ and i have modded flipped pedals to it and that is a Awesome deal! I got it a year ago and it has seen some better days for sure.. but only thing that does not work is the clutch because my clutch spring broke :(
And i got the shifter for 60€ which is expensive but that is the price in here
I have this wheel for over a year now and no problems. It's good enough for me. Just missing a handbrake for dirt rally (I've told Logitech about it and they said they'd comment to their team)
Use a joystick as handbrake
Look on AliExpress usb handbrake pretty good ones made of real handbrakes
i own both the g29 and t150 pro. I disagree that the T150 has a better force feedback or is smoother. The G29's wheel rim just feels so much better than the regular T150 wheel which feels cheap and plasticky. The T150 also makes unrefined noises and sounds like something may be breaking inside of it. I like the higher resistance that the G29 wheel provides. The pedals are no comparison. The T3pa pedals that the T150 pro come with are nice, but they have too little resistance. The G29 pedals are just as nice to look at and you get more feedback from them. The Brake pedal on the G29 took some time to get used to, but once you get used to it it is a better brake than the T150. To me it's not even close, the G29 is the better wheel, it feels like a higher quality product. My 2 cents.
I just got it for 200 eur with the shifter included on a Black Friday week offer, couldn’t be happier
does it work for pc on asseto corsa or with the vr on pc?
@@LilPimpSquare For pc asseto corsa, yes no problem, with a VR headset.. No idea honestly
I think it is the best "cheaper" Wheel for play ... i have mine since last summer, it still very new and works perfect even playing 1h/day almost every day... Since i setup a RasmusP's LUT it has improved a lot! it is like a new wheel.. much better... i recommend.
1h/day is nothing even if ur playing everyday
Nice review like the details you provided even though it was given to you. Keep up the good work RC
Small tip, if you grab it off amazon, you can get a shifter with it for £150 with shifter, not sure about us
Chappie’s Grandma I saw this but it says 1-2 months delivery ;(
The g29 was my first (and still my only) racing wheel/pedal set. I've had good experiences with it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get serious into sim racing. I've had some hiccups trying to use it on older games, but I chalk that up to the games themselves, not to a fault of logitech or the g29. I do have the shifter, as well, and can say that while it works and does add a degree of immersion compared to not having any h-pattern shifter, it feels much more like a toy than the wheel and pedals themselves. I wasn't a fan of the 'two stage' brake pedal, myself, and removed the rubber block inside the spring. I think it makes the brakes far easier to control, myself...but your mileage may vary.
Great review, RC.
Hi, do you mind if I ask whether you use this wheel on PC W10?
I'm having issues getting this wheel to work with any game on steam?
@@JustinMurray170fin have you downloaded the software from logitech. Need the drivers in the download for it to work correctly.
@@ian260672 Appreciate your response.
I did indeed download the aforementioned drivers but they didn't work, I also had compatibility issues with my other Gskill products (Logitech 801 keyboard & 502 Hero) - Logitech was frankly of little help - there's a workaround for this issues here on YT that sorted it.
Excellent products suspect support & drivers. TBF the same can be said of many competitors.
The clamps and carpet grips work great. The only issue is with the break because it’s stiff sometimes it moves as you push the break to 100%
where i live this cost up to 1 per month or 200€
I own this wheel. It's enough for the majority of players. Plenty of mod options too (sequential shifter, truck gearbox, handbrake).
the worst time for you to get a g series wheel is spring because the price in the uk would get to 250£ when you can get it under 220£ in other seasons
Now it's £160 with shifter and people bidding on ebay used one for £150 lol
i run the G920 on PC and Xbox, great wheel, i would advise A-Frame for better stability, and you are so right in regards to the leads being under the wheel, when setting up my Gear shift had to undo it all to plug it in, and i noticed i have squashed 1 of the leads, i just modded my gear shift duie to logitech not being sequential cost me like AU$1 lol. thats the only think that let me down, yes i know you can buy the mod kit online but 2 screws and a 40mm O ring done.
I love my g29, I use it for dirt rally and load a preset off the steam workshop which makes the ffb more realistic, I recommend getting it with the shifter, it's more immersive for rally games with the shifter
How the hell does this wheel not come with a shifter at the base package
I've used G29 myself long time and say its really good but only downside is the rattling issue caused by the engines it runs with. it can be altered with modding work but no way I take the risk till I can afford direct drive wheel in the future or possible replacement ^^'
with pedals I plan to get better springs there and alter some stuff, to see how it works out eventually.
I was inbetween the R29 and the T300RS, when i rad on the net how many People had problem with the T300, something like more then 50% had dying motors or other problems so i looked up the T500 it didnt had those problems but with H shifter it costed a lot more and im a casual driver, first how often will i play racing games, i play everything across and have phases where i play 1 week long just one genre of game.
I rather got my self the G29 + H Shifter for 250€ and with the Difference to the T500 + Shifter i went out to the Theater and other stuff with my Wife.
In the End i did not regret getting the G29, for how often i use it, the T500 would have been a waste of Equipment and my usage.
If i really want to get into racing competive i would push everything out of my G29 till it dies and then i would get the T500.
I bought it as a transition to Fanatec but it's not that bad. The real shame is squicking wheel when turning but I can live with that for now.
I wish that we had more proper budget options. Even 100USD is quite an investment and when you're buying second hand, you always run the risk of having a dusty or worn-out hardware.
Not that I'll ever see one being sold in my country.
Most of the parts can be repaires/cleaned/upgraded. Second hand is not a big problem if you have knbowledge of what goes inside.
I suppose so but still, not all of the places in the world has quick and convenient availability of parts.
Professionally Hunted 100 usd is an investment? What world do you come from
I feel in asseto corsa the deadzone in the middle was really bad at first (maybe an inch of play), until I tuned it out. But theres a fine line between little, to no deadzone and clipping FFB on this wheel.. But I'm a just a casual sim racer so who knows..
Upgrading from g29 to thrustmaster t gt this saturday, am happy with logitech but need an upgrade after a year of driving
I just got a g29 and had some problems right away with the windows 10 auto install but once I installed the ghub drivers it started working fine.
Works exceptionally well with Grid on PS4. Shame I cannot say the same for many other games.
Hey, I want to show my dad my wheel, but he is usually really tough on steering wheels, he likes to push and pull on them when he is driving, (last time I let him use a wheel he ripped it of my desk on accident). Should this wheel be durable enough to let him drive with it. He's a strong guy and I don't want him to loosen the stiffness of the wheel. Thanks.
Not 100% sure but i wouldn't recommened as if u turn too much to the sides on some games it will make a sound
Any one else wanted him to peel the plastic in the middle like if you agree
no
That rubber could be replicating real car which occurs on real car you press down and the pedal without much resistance but still brakes (lightly)and untill you press harder you will feel it stiff.
nice, detailed video, is it good for playing euro truck simulator on pc? and what is the name of the game with that cliff side road? thanks in advance
Thrustmaster TMX is such a better choice at half the cost. There's a major dead spot in the wheel from about 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, only found out when I bought one, NOBODY wants to talk about this is reviews, TMX is WAY better.
you never showed any of the gear noises :(
really worried about it.
I have the G27 not to worry ... if my G27 making noise I don't notice it at all while on the track.
It’s not bad on AC
I got mine for 120$ new. Never knew that they were 300$!
highway-starr 400 originally
Wow on Amazon it is already at £178 and an option to buy it with the shift stick for FREE 👍
If you can wait until black Friday, it always goes on sale, though if you want the shifter, you only save about £30, but £60 off without the shifter (if previous black friday sales are good to go on)
I have it and I love it every time I touch it i love it
Does the gearbox come with the package or do you have to buy it separately?
Nemyx PET unfortunately gotta buy it seperately
Thank you for this review, I'm sort of new to the racing sim scene and now that I got a VR head set I wanted to complete the package with a steering wheel with shifter. I got lucky cos i got this G29 with the Shifter for only £148. (Black Friday Yeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh!) One question tho. Do you need to download any other software programs to help with compatibility on PC?
no. just the software
Thank you again ^^
Did you not notice the mile long center deadzone that the G29 has with AC? I was extremely disappointed with mine, once you center the wheel it’s like playing with a child’s toy.
I want to use wheel so yah know I can feel like im really drivint
very thorough overview on wheel, and some heads ups about the pedals. Thanks!
I had 1 question I haven't found an answer for yet in a few of ppl's G29 vids - is the wheel calibratable to a certain degree you wish the tires to turn in-game? such as like I'd like 180-210 deg. to be full turn
Yes
I got mines for 200, I never looked back at the thrust master.
Which Thrustmaster
thrustmaster is soooooooo much better
@@vdvelde9686 yeah T300RS is better.. but i got the G29 for 170€ with shifter and the T300RS is like 300 € without clutch and without shifter
@@gepixelt7712 idk i really dislike the gears instead of the belt drive
vdvelde same but the price difference makes the winner easy for me
Personally, I would take the TMX Pro (It's basically the same as the T150 Pro, but it's for Xbox) because personally I prefer the looks of the TMX over the G920* and I like the pedals a little bit more and the shifter, even if its way more expensive, it has 7 gears**, you can use it as a sequential shifter, the quality is better and you can easily change the gear knob
*I'm on Xbox
**You don't really need 7 gears, but it's still better:)
Do you have to use the clutch to use the paddles?
Id recommend geting the shifter as well ..it really feels good altho its a bit too easy to shift ..but on 3DRap.it you can get mods to modify the shifter to be: Harder to Shift, Equipped with better clamps or turn the Shifter itself into a Sequential shifter.
G29 is my first Real Wheel i bought (Because my HAMA Thunder V5 is absolute garbage) and i am amazed how it feels. but im somewhat scared of wear and tear over time ..i heard that potentiometers can wear off and stuff but it should be easily replacable ..
How long does the G29 last till parts have to be replaced?
I have the 920, and let me tell you... I wish I got a G29 instead. This thing has been trouble out of the box. It's so bad that it's been dropped as a compatible wheel on a lot of modern releases because the firmware on it is garbage. I love how every time I'm playing a game paused in a menu the wheel wants to rotate all the way to the left, that the brake pedal is stiff as a board (I took it apart and took the rubber block out. Much nicer now), some games can't adjust their sensitivity with this wheel.... The only thing it has going for it is it's stealth black.
For anyone with a G29 and suffers from the infamous wheel squeak, I can attest that this fix works (* Warrantee WILL be voided *):
1. Disassemble the wheel base so that the 2 motors are exposed as demonstrated in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DxT2UOmHN-I/v-deo.html
NOTE: (there are A LOT of screws, make sure to keep them in a safe place).
2. Spray some WD-40 or any other comparable lubricant in the vent openings at the bottom of each motor (it's a bit hard to tell which motor the squeak comes from so I sprayed some in both).
3. Give the wheel shaft a few turns and make sure the squeak is completely neutralized.
This completely got rid of the annoying squeak noise when turning left/right and made the wheel infinitely more enjoyable to use. I was contemplating sending my g29 back to get it repaired but I was confident that it was a simple fix and had the right tools for the job. Hopefully this helps someone out as this fix just isn't readily available.
Lol 4hours ago and i searched It right now xd
This video was made for you
Like man likeeee
My dream!!!
Fucking Brazil, 600$ without the shifter while the minimum salary is 300$! Yay
For those who are wondering, The Logitech G29 will have PS5 support.
I have the Logitech G920 and i have notice a delay in throttle and braking with the games i play: PC2 & AC Has anyone else experienced this problem and were you able to sort it out?
there are videos where guys are taking apart their peddles and removing the rubber that is in the braking peddle. any help would be much appreciated.
BTW i bought the Logitech today, was so excited then the braking and throttle delay happened
Thank you.
the brake pedal is too hard but after 10-15 mins of playing, as the rubber and spring warm up, it becomes softer and more manageable.
Lmao my dude... these are probably the softest pedals you can buy. If they're hard for you now don't think about upgrading to fanatec or thrustmaster
@@sirius9108 not "they", just the brake pedal, compared to my car that i drive IRL.
also i mostly play F1 so you have to be really smooth and gradual on the brakes to avoid locking up
i'm happy with my G920, don't consider upgrading to anything else at the moment. pedals feel good, wheel feels good
Either that table needs changing or something.... the monitor is about to tip over everytime you turn the wheel!! Its shaking like mad!
If you like it constantly breaking and not being recognised is the G29

Help me! I'm about to buy a wheel. G29 or T150 pro?
How do u do a video call or wat that is that makes 2 screens
Just wanted to point out regarding having a clutch without a separate shifter what's the use? Well if you want to drift without clutch it's almost impossible hence why even if you don't have a shifter you should use clutch and you can use the paddle shifts to shift, also the pedals are heavier so no sliding as much as a two peddle set. I have a t300rs with t3pa pro that I bought separately main reason why I prefer thrustmaster over logitech is due to the ffb like in logitech its had gears which means loud clunky and not very smooth and accurate ffb especially when you get gear skipping compared to a belt driven wheel l. When I had my first wheel which was thrustmaster f430 ferrari ffb wheel and then later got a g27 it was like night and day difference. Even though the f430ffb was only 270 degree wheel the ffb was miles difference to the g27 it seemed like the f430ffb was much higher quality and more expensive even though the g27 was higher tier wheel.
Handbrake turns in dirt rally springs to mind. You would stall if no clutch drop
You gotta use the clutch to start a car with a sequential transmission
Got g29 without psu for £4 in almost mint condition at bootfair sale
MIne is really loud amd its not all that smooth, Should i take it back?
Can you send me the link where you showed the Whole set up and at the top left it said “G920/G29,” basically 2:45 pls
I'm thinking of getting a wheel in that price range, what's better the Thrustmaster, or Logitech?
Best wheel for price is probably a T150 or T300

How much would a sequential shifter cost for this wheel?
Idk it's me or logitech shifter does looks better than csl elite shifter
Not recommended to use with ps4 the wheel is too much noisy i dint try it with pc but look like setting on pc is much better but most of racing peoples like the thrustmaster since its more realistic than the g29.
This or thrust master Tmx or tmx pro
tmx pro
Tmx pro seems pretty expensive so I think I’ll go with the Tmx since it’s the same wheel and then once I’m sure I like everything I’ll invest more in the th8a and the pro pedals
G29 sits very very close to the t300 there are also mods to make them bother better but yea they are great I like to use the g29 tho
Which mods please? I am about to buy G29, interested to get it better (hopefully for PS4 as well).
Tbh t300 is slightly better only slightly if U want a ch aperture deal that U can add mods to to made better then the g29 is the go I will be doing a review when I have build my simulator... It's going to be a driving/flight/motorsport style build so it'll be a hybrid which is rare
