    As long as the price is right, the G29 will always be worth it. I used one for 6 years before finally upgrading to a direct drive, and I enjoyed every second of those 6 years.

    I traded my old switch (never used) for one and got a shifter for 30 bucks. Playing gran turismo 7 has been and absolute BLAST with a clutch and shifter and force feedback. Turned off all assists (I've never played this way since gt1) ...I have so much control over the car now. Awesome experience. Would recommend.

    Tbh, G29 felt like shit to me after i got the T300RS, I got both G29 and T300RS.
    T300RS it's a whole new experience, much better, ffb uncomparable imo, shift knob on thrustmaster doesn't feel as good as irl because it surely doesn't have the force feedback of the gearbox/transmission, so u cant feel anything, but it's not bad.
    Not to mention that the T300RS pedals feel amazing.
    (Logitech could be way better with the brake pedal)

    • @jamiemediauk
      @jamiemediauk  7 місяців тому

      I feel like the T300RS is a good step up from the G29! If someone was trying to get into sim racing as a beginner I'd still recommend G29 as it is £100 cheaper and not too gutting if they decide it is not for them!

    I'm just looking to race casually on FH5 and AC and so I bought a used setup with shifter and stand included for $200. At that price and everything included, it's worth it. I'm planning to tweak it a bit by removing the little rubber block in the brake pedal because I feel that the travel is too shallow, doing the M3 screw mod in the shifter to make it feel more tactile and less like a toy, and thinking of 3D printing the H shifter magnet mechanism and shift knob, total cost less than $20.

    Even with very old tech inside, Logitech G29/G920 is allways been one of the best start for entry-level simracing.
    Point is: unless the price is getting too high, this wheel and the T248 are probably the best options untill you wanna improve your equipment and move onto DD.
    Normally the G29/G920 price should go no more than 200-220€ and T248 no more than 250-260€.
    Also the PXN v10 seems a good product, with a lot of functions, but it may suffer lack of support.
    Sadly the G29 will go out of production soon so ppl will gonna have to make a choice between the T248, PXN v10 and the G923 (which I don't recommend because normally the price is too much high).
    So, after years of simracing, yeah. I can tell that is still worth in 2023.

    • @jamiemediauk
      @jamiemediauk  Рік тому +1

      Agreed! Even the second hand market is really good for the Logitech and T248! I’m sure you’ll be able to still grab on in 5 years!

      I also bought through the years a DFGT which I used to test and play on AC, DiRT Rally 1, DiRT4 and ETS2/ATS with good FFB performances.
      Just ppl normally don't know or trust second hand markets, maybe because they are more comfortable with brand new products, but yes the second hand market is a really good option too.

    The price make it worth. In my region G29 is $300 (with shifter), G923 is $400 (pretty much same shit as G29) and Thrustmaster 300 RS GT is $500 without shifter. Add the fact that T300 RS GT is not reliable due to poor built quality while G29 is reliable and well built.
    So here's the deal. I bought g29 to replace my G27 until I jump on some DD.
