Well thought out review Carlos. Thank you and good to see your wheel and pedals have lasted well so far. Mine just stopped working. Have absolutely no idea why. checked under the hood but no sign of electronic stress or bad connections. Weird. Nice to know that they can last.
They usually last way more. The only careful thing is to avoid dust getting inside the pedal potentiometers. Now for the base itself, it probably has some controller PCB board and without the proper diagnosing tools it's very unlikely for us to find if any electronic component failed. It can look all fine and if a capacitator, resistor or inductor fails it can be really hard to detect. Even most technicians will just measure power readings in certain checkpoints of the circuit and if the circuit has failed they just ask to order a new pcb instead of looking for individual components. It can be very time consuming and the charge on hourly rate can make the process of finding the component more expensive or as expensive as the new pcb while some individual components can be insanely hard to find. Sorry for your wheelbase man. I hope you've found a suitable replacement.
You need to open them (unscrew the plastic) and use compressed air to blow the dust away. Then inside the potentiometer cylinders you want to be using a spray like the "kontakt" series ones (wich is the oposite of WD40). The spray must be made for audio equipment and circuits, without grease, alcohol based so it evaporates without traces. Then I would recomend taping with clear tape around the potentiometers as much as you can, but just be careful that dust might still find it's way inside and become traped, it will just take much longer. Good luck and have fun. I do miss having a G923 around that I could throw on a desk and have any guest of my GF just do some quick laps.
It took me a long time fiddling with settings and adjusting for my position but over time I got more and more fond of my G923. I sold it to a happy guy getting into sim racing but TBH if I had more room and income I would keep it just in case. (Even tho I have a DD1 and V3 lol)
I’ve got myself a Logitech g293 too! 🏁🏎️
It still one of the best starter wheels if the price is low 😁

Gr review thank you
How do you clean the pedals correctly? I recently got a G923 & I am loving it so far! 😁

Thanks for your thoughts on the G923 Carlos, I've just picked one up so should find your setting useful 😀
