    Can't forget the fact that the logitech wheels are so modifiable and allows for custom wheels for a cheap price without having to pay for hundreds for a brand new wheel style. Heck now since the pro pedels are out you can upgrade for better pedels so that adds for even more customization.

    I'm currently still using one with my Playseat Challange seat. It's a great living room setup that you can build up and remove quickly. I also just bought the shifter and an adapter for the playseat to have a stick shift for older cars or rally racing. But after some hundred hours of playing Gran Turismo, F1, WRC etc. on the Playstation the belt slowly gets annoying. The rattling just doesn't feel good and the settings differ highly from game to game. It's perfectly finetuned for GT sport and GT7, but in other games it's really hard to find the right settings.
    So now I'm playing with the idea of upgrading to a DD wheel. The CSL DD seems an obvious choice, but I've heard that the build quality is even lower than on the G29.
    Than there is the TM TGT2, but shelling out 700€ for belt-driven system still feels odd.
    Than there is the new Logitech DD set, but it's again very expensive, but lacks the ability to swap out your wheel. Like havibg one for GT and one for F1 would be great for this pricerange.
    Moza seems interesting, but I haven't heard much of it yet and I don't know how the support on PS5 is for that.
    Any recommendations for a 700-ish price range?

    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.

    you can modify the brake pedal to make the "stiff" portion of the travel much longer, making it feel much closer to an actual brake. you will have to press the pedal significantly harder however, so make sure you have the pedals secured well. i bought my g29 for 230 refurbished about two years ago and its stood up well so far. make of that what you will.

    I used to have the official Xbox wheel back in the early days of Forza and absolutely loved it although it was definitely a toy at £69.99 including the pedals. Still managed to set #1 in the world times and won numerous TORA championships. Great memories.
    So, any upgrade on that wheel should be great.

Oh yeh it’s a bit costly but this is how I’m looking at it, for myself, I love sim racing and am happy to pour money into it. So £600 for gt dd pro 8Nm is going to last years and wil in the end be great value.

    is there any other wheel that is same in quality and spec as this for same price
    or should i spend a bit more,since it would be my first wheel and im not sure how much i will play racing games,or simulator games
    it's main for euro truck,forza 4,asseto corsa and city car driving game,maybe i buy beam ng
    but it's going to be used 2 hours a day max,sometimes not for 5-6 months because i need to set up the wheel,pedals and then play for 1-2 hours because i will be tired from work and what's the point in spending 600+ euros on something i use 10 times a year

    I own one so im biased but id say yes. Its probably the best starter wheel and its regularly on heavy discount at sale times (black Friday and prime day in the uk mainly). Its compatible with consoles which is important for a starter wheel since users are most likely to either only have or want to use a comsole. Definitely a safe move to try out simracing before you go whole hog and put the money down for like an csl dd or something.

I only noticed its ware this time last year when the wheel itself started to feel quite loose and now I can easily move it up down side to side with minimal input. The pedals always felt meh but they got the job done. It's so damn loud and feels clunky and cheap as a result. Now I'm moving onto the Moza r12 dd, Moza GS GT wheel, and Fanatec’s CSL Elite Pedals and can't wait to compare my experience.

    There is a Logitech G923 Trueforce - in 2023 is still best option...its 2020 market release.
    So i don't know what's bad about that series.
    Full set + special separate steel mount rack for it (instead of mount it on table every time) +H gearbox shifter is still cheaper than many analogs...

    I'm in brazil. Setups better than a logith like a belt cost at least 2 times more, and a direct drive 5-10 times more expensive. So I started 1 year ago with a logitech 923, basic cockpit and some simple mods(inverted breakes, unite brake and clutch, magnetic shift and sequencial gear). This whole setup is cheapper than a cheap direct drive wheel , so I think the cost-benefit of a logitech is still good in some parts of the world.

    I've recently gotten interested in sim racing again and I'm still running an ancient Logitech G27. Honestly, a lot of the G29/G920 is basically the same, even the newer Logitech H-shifter still works mostly and connects to the same port in the wheel base (I had to replace my old G27 shifter years back from a break). I think the main thing about this racing wheel is that it's just a really solid, affordable package in a lot regions where higher end sim racing equipment is just a bit too expensive. I've got my money dedicated to other hobbies so upgrading the wheel and/or pedals isn't a high priority, and I think for a lot of people who are new and unsure, or don't plan to invest as much time and money into this hobby, would get a lot out of the Logitech wheel.

  • @HotSkorpion
    @HotSkorpion 7 місяців тому +4

    For full price, not really. But it is often found at under 250€ new. And for that price, it's unbeatable. Also, this rhetoric that DD's are so cheap now that the Logi and T300 are just not worth it anymore is simply not true. You need to consider that DD bundles dont come with clutch pedals and rarely come with desk mounting clamps, so you'd need to buy those separately and have either a very sturdy desk or very rigid wheel stand. Mounting a DD to a normal ikea desk is just not a good idea. Also, a Fanatec shifter costs almost as much as an entire g29 on sale. And because of course noone in their right mind will pair a Logi shifter with a Fanatec or Moza R5, The cheapest acceptable option is a TH8A, and that is 150€ alone on that, maybe the new TH8S at 70€. So there's additional cost already. And remember that people that are looking at the level of a G29 or a T300 are usually looking for something to mount and dismount fairly easy, and for something that is RTR without much faffing about. So can we stop misleading people into DD's without looking at the bigger picture and not just the price tag of two completely different offers?
