The logitech g29 steering wheel is amazing i loved it from the first time i plugged in and ran dirt rally 2.0 when i was using other steering wheels i couldn’t feel anything at all the game itself felt lifeless but now with the g29 it’s like im actually driving i get feedback of the terain that i am driving on and everything is awesome but when you switch to another game thats not a simulator it’s back to being lifeless and also using the The G Hub app is kinda difficult for me so I can’t properly set up the wheel of other games but if i run simulator games like WRC , DIRT and Euro truck simulator it’s amazing once i had a taste of the g29 gaming I don’t think i can go back or will go back to the other steering wheels

I got this on the Prime Day sales specifically to go with Gran Turismo on the PS5 with PSVR2. I wanted to go that extra step in the immersion and felt a steering column was column. One thing that I was expecting was the sensation of driving a car with all the relative feedback you would get in real life. The steering is very light, much lighter than you would expect in real life. Also there’s no real rumble feedback that you would get when driving over uneven surfaces. These are the kinds of things you’d get in an arcade experience, but for under 200 maybe I was asking too much.
It definitely enhances a virtual experience but is just short of fully immersive. I see more expensive steering options and maybe they have that rumble and resistance feedback I was hoping for. However, they can be nearly 200 more and that may a step too far for only one game.

TLDR; Good product, irritating customer support — issue will be resolved if you stick it out!

Purchased the G29 (alongside a shifter) to use on my PC to play racing games. For 2 weeks, it was awesome. No issues whatsoever. Very good FFB, responsiveness & incredibly easy to setup.

Then an issue with the shifting appeared. Quick google search seemed to suggest that it’s quite common with G29’s & it’s just the button itself wearing down. While it is fixable yourself by opening it up, it’s recommended to contact retailer if item is still in its warranty period.

For 2 days, I got bounced backward and forward between Amazon & Logitech’s respective support teams. Each telling me to contact the other. After hassling them both consistently for 2 days, Amazon offered me a Partial refund (I believe it was 20%) & keep the item, or return for a full refund. No offer of a direct replacement/swap was offered, which is incredibly frustrating.

Luckily after many emails, Logitech offered to replace the product. I took their offer, it arrived in 2 days & I’ve been enjoying it ever since.

I’ll be comparing this to the Thrustmaster T150 which was my last wheel.

The Logitech G29/G920 are equally the same but different from the T150. The wheel material on the Logitech G wheels are made out of a leatherette material which is much more comfortable than the T150’s lack luster plastic and rubber rim. Both wheels have a little detail on the top middle of the rim to show if you’re centered or not (which is supposed to be as standard nowadays).

The G29 uses a helical gear driven force feedback system whereas the T150 uses a belt driven system. As a belt system uses less parts, it is more likely to be quieter and perceived to be more smooth. Unfortunately, after a few months of usage the belt will begin to louden up and slip during events such as a collision or under/oversteer. The G29’s gear driven system will be louder but more direct(ish) than the T150. Both are equal in force feedback.

Going on to the buttons of both entry level wheels, the G29 is immediately superior in that department. There are more button placed in more reasonable positions and are less loud, but in exchange for tactility. Only the +/- buttons, L/R buttons are quite tactile. The PlayStation/Xbox buttons and the d-pad is quite mushy. Additionally, you’re more likely to make a mistake with d-pad inputs as it seems to be inspired by the Xbox 360 d-pad (it’d be nice for camera functions I guess, but use a controller or a mouse?). The addition of a rotary encoder is very useful for adjusting things such as cruise control or electronic control of the turbo’s output, but it only likes to work when there is little to no information being fed by the force feedback system. The T150 lacks the +/- buttons and the rotary encoder but wins with button tactility and paddle shifter.

The ultra obvious is that the G29’s pedalbox has a clutch – the T150 requires a separate pedal set which would set you back another 100 for a clutch, metal plated foot platforms and high quality springs and potentiometers. All of this is what the base T150 pedals do not have, and those base pedals really suck. The brakes are first to give in as the little spring eventually softens up and doesn’t feel the same anymore. The potentiometers are prone to dirt and dust which is another fault point.
Now to the G29, the pedalbox is more robust and allows for more precise inputs if you’re driving in manual or with the automatic/dct.

About manual, the shifter. The G29 shifter is dodgy for the fact that you cannot really be aggressive when you put it into the reverse position (push down on 6th) as there is a button and a rubber/silicon cover that could rip when you force it in or out of position instead of holding the shifter and pushing up gently like a learner driver. However, it works for an entry level manual experience if you’re underage or learning how to drive virtually. The T150 doesn’t have a shifter included (the G29 can be bundled with one or bought separately for ~50) but the TH8A is available separately for 100-150 and is the superior shifter. Much more realistic feeling, more resistant for emulate an actual car’s transmission and has a separate reverse. However some may feel less comfortable with the gated layout of the TH8A.

If your G29 shifters reverse position fails, message the seller and present your case, they’ll be willing to send over a new one as they have done to me.

Overall for ~250, get the G29+shifter. It has more creature comforts, the better interface and better software.

The good:
The quality is very good!
I like the solid feel!
Sits on the table well
Makes car games much more fun
My son loves it!
The pedal base is great and heavy duty so it won’t move about much!
Bought in Amazon Warehouse for 117 and the quality was like new!

The cons:
It is expensive!
Force feedback is a little bit strong!
The brake pedal is way too hard!
Not the easiest to fit economically.
Not the easiest to store
Cables are everywhere!

Honestly great, personally i use it for games like Euro Truck Simulator 2, but it’s good for Forza and assetto

I had the G29 for years and used it on PC and sometimes PS4. Now I have a Series X and no Sony Console I just wanted a plug and play wheel. I paid 169 in a pre black Friday sale, which makes this great value. Obviously you’re not getting direct drive level precision and feedback, but for this money its a solid deal. The item is well build and robust and worked out of the box. Only used it on Dirt Rally 2 for now, but will be testing on Forza 5 and F1 2021 in due course. Buy this is you want a reliable tried and tested product which can be used on both console and PC.

Originally I gave these a four star review. I have no come back three weeks later to share my experience.
** = indicates an update.

Before purchasing these, I had read reviews about how poor someof the aspects of this headset were. I ignored them… and I really should have listened, so I am offering you, reader, a secondary warning – these have caveats.

Firstly, the pros:
The sound is great. As an audiophile who knows a bit about equalisation, these are a great low to mid-range sound – a bit of bass, and great fidelity, nothing mind-blowing but solid. It’s clear in games where players are walking and is acceptable for music. A bit crowded especially at louder volumes so be wary; these aren’t transforming your music experience but are definitely viable.

Latency is insanely good for wireless, Bluetooth is just as acceptable. I love how easily you can switch between BT and Dongle, so if I want to go for a quick walk, hold a button for 3secs, grab my phone and off I go.

Some people had complained about the comfort; but I personally found the headband very comfortable, it’s a snug fit so perfect for smaller heads. People who use every extension on their current headphones may find it difficult to use these.

Controls are clicky and responsive, mute button is a great add. No faults there.

And of course, they are extremely lightweight (like wow, good job on that front, Logitech) so portability and moving about is great. And they look great as well, I love the design (I personally went black and the accents of yellow look super nice).

Now for the nopes:

These earpads are distractingly loud…
**
UPDATE: I had commented before that you should be wary that something small like moving your jaw causes creaking. It was so distracting where even if I put it at a loud volume, I could still hear it.
I found that the earpads are creaking because my glasses are rubbing on the material. It’s annoying but not something to cry over. I did purchase replacement earpads and while they did make the sound go away, it just wasn’t as comfortable both in weight distribution and material. But I can confirm: three weeks of use has definitely worn in the pads to the point I hardly hear it now. Seriously: not the end of the world.

Next, and a killer for most (not personally uncomfortable but I see why it could be for others) is that these induce a lot of heat. Good luck wearing a jumper with these…
**
UPDATE: My head has acclimatised to the now, not an issue at all.

A minor problem but still important to highlight: the microphone is just bad.
**
UPDATE: I had said these are quiet and way too sensitive. It’s clear when speaking but when typing, it’s hard to be coherent. My friends have not found this to be an issue and actually because of the tininess of the mic, friends have commented how easy it is to hear me over the basses of the game. Not bad at all.

But the biggest problem, get ready for this… NO. GHUB. SUPPORT. WHAT?! No equalisation, no bass removal… I get the idea you don’t only use this for PC, but that’s a killer honestly. You are stuck with the soundscape you’re given, and although I praised it earlier, not being able to tweak EQ it is a comfort you cannot afford to lose for a “G-SERIES HEADSET”. This is what’s holding it back from being an insanely good headset that I would recommend, it’s just a gapping hole in an otherwise solid headset.
**
UPDATE: Three weeks later, still an issue. Come on Logitech, this is poor.

For reference, I got these in a bundle with the G305 (a fantastic mouse for the price), so I got them a lot cheaper than RSP. It’s worth waiting for a deal on these, don’t commit at full price I’d say.

Logitech, give these GHUB support. Please.

As a product the Logitec g920 is very well made. Personally I would have preferred a slightly bigger wheel but it feels premium and comfy for long racing sessions. I like the built-in controller inside the wheel and the feel of Force Feed Back is excellent. The pedals (acceleration and clutch) are have a nice feel but the brake is an absolute nightmare (read other reviews). It is actually painful to use properly you have to press it so hard so I reconfigure the clutch for the brake (a la carting) and drive automatic. I will at some point remove the rubber block in the brake pedal unit (see YouTube) but for games where I cannot swap the pedals over I increase the brake sensitivity to almost the max so I don’t have to stand on the thing to get a car to stop. A star off for this.
Another thing that leads to a lot of frustration is setting up the Wheel in whatever game you are playing. For instance in F1 2019 I cant use the same settings in F1 2020. It doesn’t feel the same. In Forza 6 I can’t get the wheel to turn fully (most I have is a couple of inches to turn lock-to-lock) even if I turn up the wheel to 900 degree setting and in Forza 7 it’s different again. As a car driver I want to feel like I am actually driving and it takes a lot of practice to get the right settings and even then when you change game you have to get used to messing with the settings all over again. I am not knocking a star off for this as it is not any fault of the wheel! When.. you eventually do get the settings just right.. it’s sublime.
Couple of extra things.. get a frame.. a generic one costs less on a certain website that rhymes with G Bay. Plus I saw that the G920 will be supported by Xbox Series X. Happy racing.

Originally, I purchased the G920 wheel for use on Windows 10 without the gear shifter. As I used it for F1 2017, this was perfectly fine as gears are switched using the LB and RB padals behind the wheel in the game, just like in an F1 car. It was also fine for Euro Truck Simulator 2 as the trucks have 12 to 18 gears on them. The wheel and pedals work brilliantly with both games, and all in game menus can be traversed with the wheel as it also doubles as a controller. You can never go back to playing with a controller once you’ve used a good wheel in racing games. It totally transforms the experience for the better.

On playing Forza Motorsport 7 and Project Cars II, I realised that the gear shifter would add another dimension again. And again, once you’ve used a gear stick in racing games, it’s hard to go back to not using one! It totally transforms the experience for the better. Can’t wait for Forza Horizon 4 now! I feel like a kid playing Daytona USA in the arcades in the 90’s again!! Priceless.

So it’s a good buy, no question. However there are some caveats that you should be aware of.

You need to attach the wheel to a table, desk or something. It’s very easy to do as the wheel has built in clamps on the underside to fix to such a thing. But you need such a thing, or else you wont be able to use it.

The pedals have no grip on the bottom of the unit. They will slide when you press them on a wooden floor or thin carpet making them unusable unless you sort out some kind of fix to stop them sliding.

The clutch and accelerator pedals are easy to press. The brake requires more force and a bit of getting used to. Don’t get me wrong, it works well, attempting to emulate pressure required to slow a moving car, but you need to get used to it at first. After quickly realising the pedals slid without a fix, and fixing it, I nearly toppled the chair back I pressed so hard braking late on F1 2017! It’s not a fault. You just need to work out how hard you should be pressing it for effective game play. It actually works very well once you get going. Teenager and above would be fine, but smaller kids may struggle pressing the brake pedal effectively. My kids are 8 and 10 and they struggle. But that’s partly because they can’t drive and always go flat out on the accelerator and brake way way too late! Personally, I would say the brake works well, and the resistance in pressing is an excellent feature. My kids would disagree. Fortunately, you can change what the pedals do easily, so I have made the clutch the brake for them instead. They prefer automatic anyway.

The shifter has 6 gears, and a reverse gear. To access reverse, not obvious on first use, you need to depress the stick in neutral when the car is stationary before moving right and then down. The shifter adds a brilliant new dimension to the game play and control of the cars with the pedals. I see the dilemma for making a cost effective H shifter for gaming as this is. Many cars in Forza / Project cars have up to 8 gears. Many only have 5. 6 gears, 1 to 6, is a good balance for a default setting in a game that covers hundreds of cars. You can use the padals behind the wheels to go past 6th gear when needed. Euro Truck Simulator goes up 2 gears in each position which works well depending on the truck you are driving (they can go from 9 to 18 gears!). It also allows a shift key to make 1 to 6, 7 to 12 and vise versa. That’s not really down to the manufacturer, Unless you want to buy an 18 position H shifter? They have provided a cost effective H shifter with 6 positions on it and a reverse to connect to your wheel and pedals. And I can say it works well for most instances. For the instances that it doesn’t cover, there is usually an easy software work around with the controller buttons. As I prefer racing around in the older cars in games, pretending I’m James Bond in a DB5 for instance, it works a treat for me! For a 5 or 6 gear car, it’s perfect!

To conclude I spent around 200 for a gaming wheel with gear padals, 3 pedals, and a 6 position H shifter with a reverse gear. Am I happy with the purchase? Yes. Does it improve the gaming experience? Yes, immeasurably – you can’t go back. Do I feel I got my money’s worth? Yes. Is it perfect? No. But it depends on what you are after. For me, and most, it’s a perfectly good and highly enjoyable solution. Just make sure you have something to attach it to and can stop the pedals sliding across the floor! I used this 23 table as shown in the picture https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0713S9252/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Edit Jan 2019 – now almost 2 years down the line and still going strong. Also been using the shifter for a while so I’ll add a short review of that at the end

Edit Jan 2020 – now 3 years later and it’s still working perfectly, not really run into any new issues that I can think of so still very much recommended

Edit September 2020 – After 3 and a half years, the potentiometer in the throttle has finally given out. However, if you have a soldering iron and a little experience this is pretty easy to fix, and the replacement part is pretty cheap. I honestly can’t fault it too much though, potentiometers don’t last forever and I used it a LOT in those 3 and a half years, and continue to use it after a fairly simple fix

————–

I’ve held off on reviewing this because I wanted to give it a proper testing, and I’ve now been using this pretty heavily for a year (largely drifting on Assetto Corsa with some racing here and there, so it’s gone through some pretty strenuous testing), and it’s so far held up almost perfectly (more on that in a moment). I upgraded from a DFGT, and the FFB is a huge improvement from that, and having a clutch is a huge advantage. I would have liked a few more buttons though, the G29 is much more similar to the DFGT in terms of buttons but I chose this one because it looks less like a toy. Also, I really miss the stick shifter from the DFGT, it sucked as a shifter but it made a great hand brake so it would have been nice to see it return on this.

The biggest problem I encountered is one I’ve seen a lot in the reviews, so it appears to be a fairly common fault, and that’s that after a while the wheel started to develop a squeak when turning left. It was beyond the return period for Amazon however so I decided to just stick with it, it was irritating but the wheel still worked. HOWEVER, after a little while the squeak disappeared again, and it’s now working perfectly, so my guess is it’s just brand new bearings that needed to be broken in a little. If the problem comes back then I’ll edit this, but so far so good.

Another problem was the brake pedal. Some people despise the brake on this, saying it’s impossible to use, and I’ll admit that when I first got it I was basically unable to use the brakes because they were so stiff, I would press on it and my chair would just roll backwards. However, after some use (and jamming something behind the wheels of my chair, lol) the rubber bumper has softened up and I now don’t have any real problems with it, I actually like the feel of it, because the amount of pressure required increases through the travel range you quickly learn to gauge how hard you need to press the pedal, rather than just how far, so it’s a little more intuitive if you’re used to real brakes (though it’s important to note that it still doesn’t feel like a real hydraulic brake pedal, it just behaves a little more like one than a simple sprung pedal). And if you don’t like it, you can simply remove the rubber bumper and the pedals will be basically identical to the G27

Another thing I noticed is that it does get a little hot when being used heavily. As I said earlier the main use it has seen has been drifting, which puts the motors under a lot more stress than usual, and I have noticed that the casing can start to become a little warm, though so far it hasn’t caused any problems, I just let it cool down for a minute or so every now and then if it’s being used heavily.

Using it on Win 10 as well, I saw a few 1 star reviews saying it doesn’t work on Win 10 but I assure you that it does, and has done flawlessly for the past year.

All in all, while this wheel did have a few problems, I would probably still recommend it, you could buy a cheaper wheel but they’re generally not worth it. Another decent alternative in the same price bracket is the Thrustmaster TMX Pro. Both are good choices (Edit – the TMX Pro is now pretty expensive compared to this)

I also bought the shifter that you can get for this, and I have to say I’m pretty impressed with it for the price. It did initially feel a little flimsy, but after almost a year of use it still hasn’t failed at all. The amount of force required is nothing compared to a real shifter, and you obviously can’t feel when the gear doesn’t engage properly (though that is a fault common to basically every shifter), so it doesn’t feel entirely realistic, but it is so much more immersive using it, even if using the paddles is slightly faster it’s worth it for the sense of really driving the car that it gives you. For the shifter alone I would probably also give it 4 stars, with the caveat that if you want as much realism as possible then this probably isn’t for you since it does feel so light, so probably 2-3 stars for someone only concerned with realism

This is a personal review and it’s my 2 cents for both wheels since I own em both.

Thrustmaster tx…..well amazing when was working great ffb, pedals a let down terrible pedals for such expensive wheel, the standard wheel feels quite cheap. Now the bad thing with this wheel is reiability, 1 year warranty only, but for sure your wheel will break if you play everyday,mine got broken 2 times witch eventually got out of warranty and it failed again now sits in a box.

Logitech g920- well it has lower ffb than tx but not by much, I couldn’t play with tx at 100% anyway, you get very very tired after 2 hours of playing, but it’s not only the wheel witch makes a difference is the game too, biggest difference I felt it in horizon 2, where in forza 6 the logitech ffb is 10-15 % less stronger than tx only by that margine nothing more,in horizon 2 it’s more round 35%.But………
-Strong force feedback trust me it’s enough and strong.
-Great wheel quality
-Great pedals (the pedals have a weight on them witch is good)
-Wayyy Better reiability, build quality, 2 years warranty ( but logitech it’s known for longevity) g27-g25’s still working after yearsss.
-No bad sounds of the wheel actually the TX felt louder by a lot.
You’ve might seen reviews where they say that thrustmaster is better eg isrtv, they don’t care if the wheel gets broken they don’t pay for hardware anyway, no one talks about reiability and a lot of us we want out expensive toys to Last a while, so think about next time when you buy your wheel.
– *UPDATE* after 5 months of usage –
-Still rocking solid (had no problems with it so far both on PC and Xbone) , played once every 2 days at least 2-3 hours
-Pc Support now is good – with good updates.
-Force Feedback could be better (yes the tx is better especcialy in trucks sim where the tx is amazingly smooth) when playing ETS or ATS the inside mechanisms of g920 makes clunky noise wish it was smoother….
-Pedals and shifter makes a difference immersion wise (High quality pedals no joke)
-Shifter wish it would be a higher quality , but you get what you pay for, still good tho (makes a nice clicking when you shift gears at least)
-Would I buy it again? (yes I would ,and yes Tx or T300 they are better in terms of FFB when they work they are much more expensive as a package if you buy pedals and shifter , the stock ones are a joke , but thrustmaster haven’t fixed their problems with the TX or T300 models witch is the same internals those wheels will eventually fail after 1 year or even after 1 hour of use , firstly I thought it’s an early bad production batch , but even in Jan 2017 the wheels have the same issues.)

Want the best wheel pay 1k go with fanatec.

This review does not addresses to milionares or streamers witch they get stuff for free, it’s for the ones that actually pay for their hardware.

Tested on xbox one only
