These work great we also got the stand to fit them on and have to say my son (and myself) gaming has just got lots better. definitely recommend and steering is very good and not all over the place.

The wheel is fine but if you have a lot of people in your house or you intend to play at night it is incredibly loud whilst not having strong force feedback and after having it for a year with average use , the pedals start have a squeaky sound

I’ve tried my best trying to dial out the deadzone. Some games it’s worse than others. Could be resolved with a software update for sure! Some say try the G923 which doesn’t have the deadzone issue. Hopefully this helps the next buyers. For the time being it’s a great quality bit of kit and compatible with PS4 and PS5.

My first steering wheel that I have bought (I have played on much more expensive setups), I use this with my pc and if you are a beginner looking to get into sim racing I would highly recommend this, it’s a relatively easy to setup plug and play controller that provides plenty of feedback for you to enjoy the experience, the build quality feels great and it has gone 3 months of daily use so far with no signs of wear, I managed to grab it on sale as I do think the usual cost is on the higher end

The Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals are a game-changer for those who want a more immersive and realistic racing experience. Compatible with PlayStation 5, PS4, and PC gaming titles, this racing wheel provides precision steering and pressure-sensitive pedals that simulate the feeling of driving a real car.

The Driving Force feedback racing wheel provides a detailed simulation of driving, with helical gearing delivering smooth, quiet steering and a hand-stitched leather cover for a premium feel. The 900-degree rotation of the wheel, with lock-to-lock rotation, allows for two and a half turns and hand-over-hand turning on wide turns – just like a real F1 race car.

The pedals are also customizable, with pressure-sensitive nonlinear brake pedals that provide a responsive, accurate braking feel on a sturdy base. Additionally, the adjustable pedal faces provide finer control, allowing you to tailor the pedals to your specific needs.

To take your racing simulation to the next level, consider adding Driving Force accessories like the Driving Force Shifter or desk and rig mounts. Overall, the Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals provide an immersive and premium gaming experience for racing enthusiasts.

Overall Experience:
My experience with this steering wheel has been mostly positive. The force feedback, although not 100% accurate to real life, creates a more realistic environment in videogames (compared to keyboard, controllers and other cheap steering wheels) and has a satisfying texture (probably caused by the electric motors or gears) which I personally enjoy despite being the main reason that the real life accuracy is brought below 100%.

Problem:
There are many buttons to use and being an ets2 player I found all of them useful. This is where, unfortunately, my problem comes in (which is why I chose to rate it 4 stars and not 5). The red wheel at the bottom right of the steering wheel, otherwise known as “clockwise” and “counter clockwise” in the Logitech software has a small defect. While rotating it, the wheel slightly unscrews like a bottle cap (very slightly; barely noticeable to the eye. The satisfying clicks however, stop being crispy and feel soft and a bit resistant to further rotations) and while this isn’t a big problem per se, during this time, it registers 2 clicks rather than one. After a full cycle or 2 of clicks it goes back to being crisp and responsive only for it to happen again as you continue rotating it. I believe this to be a manufacturing defect and have seen other people online complaining about the lack of consistency this particular button has.

How It Affects Gameplay & Example Of A Solution To This Problem (doesn’t fix it, it just bypasses it in a way):
I had this particular wheel bound to the increase and decrease of cruise control speed in Euro Truck Simulator 2. The increase and decrease was by 5 miles, so naturally, it created a problem when I tried to increase/decrease the cruise speed by 5mph and instead it increased/decreased it by 10. I would then have to play around with it until it registered a single click in order to correct the speed.
The way I “fixed” this is by creating macros that register a single click from mouse buttons 4 and 5 (the 2 buttons on the side of the mouse) as toggles and assigned them instead of “clockwise” and “anti clockwise”. Ordinary clicks would just have the same effect (the double click instead of a single click). Toggle however creates a small delay (maybe a second or less) in which it does not register any more clicks. Problem now however is the fact that it’s much too slow to use these buttons for cruise control. As I sometimes use them to brake and accelerate instead of using the pedals (out of laziness) and having the delay means I can’t move acceleration by 15mph by rotating it for 3 clicks as the other 2 don’t register until the cooldown wears off. In order to fix this again, I assigned the light modes and wipers to the wheel and the increase and decrease of cruise speed to normal buttons. The delay now isn’t creating much of a discomfort as the lights and wipers can be turned on at your own pace and leisure without putting your driving at risk.

Conclusion:
It’s a great steering wheel to use and I recommend that people buy it. Although I would advise checking the consistency of this particular button so you can replace the steering wheel if you have similar issues and cannot live with them, or like me find a way around (minus all the struggle from before realising what the problem was).

I have bought it for my son, but I enjoy using it as well. We are mostly playing Gran Turismo 7 and it gives loads of fun to use it compering to a pad. You need to get used to using it, it is not that easy at the beginning and it may be discouraging. But once you learn how to use it, it is amazing.

I love the size of the wheel, and the leather cover. The build quality and the feeling is very good. I have compered it in the shop to the cheaper model of Thrustmaster T80 and it felt more like a toy for younger children compering to this one. It is nice that it has the functionality of the pad so can go through game menu using the wheel.

Using it on the couch is not the most comfortable. I have found the pedals nice to use, but when playing for longer time the angle is not perfect for me and causes some discomfort. It feels much more comfortable to use with pc, connecting the wheel to the desk and using gaming chair.

I would say for casual gaming it is a great choice, gives fun, feels pro, quality is good, and it is compatible with many games (e.g. Need for Speed). It is nice that it works with PS5 and PC but huge minus for Logitech for not making one version that would support xbox as well (you need g920 version if you want to play on xbox, but then it does not support PS).

Bought this as a birthday gift for my husband. I now get to watch all the crappy (his words) series on Netflix without being interrupted. He loves the wheel and other setup I purchased along side it which he uses to play F1 on the PlayStation 5, and I love the peace and quiet.

I got this after looking around for quite a while, and I must say I’m very impressed with all aspects of the wheel. Very sturdy build, comfortable feel, accurate steering (my lap times are improving all the time) feels like the real thing, wished I’d got one ages ago!

i like it but don’t know what to do now it’s broke

This is considered an entry-level racing wheel, coming in at ‘only’ ~250GBP. It has a venerable history, and is basically a minor iteration on a basic design that has been in use for 15 years, beginning with the Driving Force GT and followed by the G25 and G27.

It has gear-driven force feedback – very noisy and positively antiquated compared to almost any other offering on the market, which are either belt-driven or use the eye-wateringly expensive ‘direct drive’ technology.

But it is sturdily made, supported by just about every game and is such a marked step up from using a gamepad that you will never go back to playing with a controller.

The wheel feels good to handle with its genuine leather cover and the chunky metal paddle shifters, and the pedals feel good too – although the brake can be a bit stiff. The pattern shifter, sold separately, is the bit that most feels like a child’s toy but still does a good enough job of increasing the immersion at a reasonable price.

To put it simply, if you’re unsure about whether or not a racing wheel setup is right for you, this is the answer: and trust me, it will be ‘yes’.

It takes a little time to get use to the feedback from using a controller for years. But soon as you set the setting you prefer with a little playing about then it’s very hard to go back to controller!

Really addictive, there is no better way to play a racing game than playing using a wheel!
Some games like NFS Heat are simply plug and play, I just turn the force feedback down a little. F1 and GT Sport are similar, just a little tweaking in time trial/free mode to get the right feel and finally perfect those smoother turns and absolutely no need for any assists as you’ll be in so much more control!
The hardest was WRC, it was very hard to get a good setting I felt comfortable with, the force feedback as standard was so powerful the wheel was smashing the edge limits if I relaxed the grip just a little, it was a great feeling to have to really battle the wheel as you’d have to naturally going off-road and the wheel could clearly handle it but I had to turn it right down as the vibrations were rocking through the floor and I live in a flat so kind neighbour moment needed lol!

But you put the time and effort into learning wheel control and its so much more rewarding, as well as much faster. You’ll be in more control of steering as well as throttle control which is near impossible with a controller consistently. It just feels great. And the G29 is the cheapest high performing wheel with metal pedals you can get as far as I’m aware. There are more buttons than on a controller like the PS4 Dualshock controller. You have the extra flappy panel gears as well as additional – & + buttons, a turn dial with another push button central to the dial. These are perfect for F1 games as you can assign them to fuel mixes or ERS settings for easy changes mid race instead of having to divert more attention away from screen to go through MFD menus etc. Very convenient. I have only tried this on a PS4 Pro but it has a PS3 switch too and people online use this PS version on PC with no issues so it’s a nice versatile wheel. Hopefully it will be PS5 compatible whenever that elusive console becomes a regular sale item..

Fully compatible with an existing wheel stand which is an essential requirement – lock this on to your desk and say goodbye to everything on it if it’s not a sturdy solid oak table.

The pedals are responsive, the wheel and pedals offer a vastly superior experience when coupled with driving games of any sort – I’ve tested the wheel in both American Truck Simulator, European Truck Simulator 2 and more recently Project Cars 2. Each title offering the wheel & pedal set a chance to shine with it’s very responsive and adjustable Force Feedback giving you the feeling of direct control in the vehicles of your choice. I haven’t tried it in a drifting game, but there’s nothing to think this wouldn’t do the job.

As an entry level wheel for the driving game enthusiast it’s affordable, and compatible with the G27 shifter just no buttons will map. There is an adapter if you already have this piece of kit and want to use the keys. If you want to use it on a PC, select PS mode and calibrate as normal.

The set up and space required depends what you have and how tall you are, there’s many different stands available offering different seating styles, I’m using my normal office chair but as I’m 6’3″ tall and the stand is currently unable to sit under the desk I’m further from the monitor and keyboard that I would like to be, so do your research and take in to account it may require at least 5 feet of space including seating and access.

Would I recommend it – oh yeah, as a non-driver in real life it’s so much fun to recognize how to down shift and brake and what happens to a vehicle when you do something silly. I stall much less often in both racing and A/ETS2 games than I did at the beginning so there’s a learning curve but most software offers aids to help ease you in and you can set the difficulty/realism depending on your mood or personal ability.

The downside is the paddles on the wheel isn’t analogue so they can’t really be used as throttle and brake, well they can but only as digital inputs which isn’t the same at all.

Device recognition even the LGS software fully updated leaves a lot to be desired. If it’s not Windows compatible I wish they would say so or fix the software drivers so they work. It’s not a device you can leave plugged in at all times so playing this lottery is very annoying.

First of all, yes Logitech did the dirty claiming that PS4 compatibility relied on some mythical ‘chip’ that only the G29 had and their older wheels couldn’t provide. Project CARS debunked that by supporting many wheels that didn’t contain said ‘chip’. However, dodgy company ethics and lack of trust aside, this is a review of a product, not a company, so with that out of the way, here we go.

Credentials – I’ve had an improbably high number of racing wheels over the years, from the brittle Madcatz wheels of the PSX era, a gameport connection Microsoft Sidewinder for GP Legends on the PC, a number of Logitech wheels, Xbox 360 efforts and most recently, a Fanatec GT3 RS with Clubsport V2 pedals. I love my racing games from arcade titles such as the (now) excellent Driveclub to the semi-sim Forza and Gran Turismo titles right through to the more simulator(y) rFactor 2, Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally and Project CARS.

Why did I buy a G29 – The Fanatec gear is a level up in terms of hardware technology without doubt. However, my GT3 RS wheel was, to be honest, a needy screaming child of a peripheral. During two years of ownership, I’ve had to fettle, replace, reset, clean and, most memorably, resolder microswitches. It was a nightmare of ownership. The pedals, while works of art, were occasionally troublesome also. Roll forward to the last few weeks, and a rigorous stage of Dirt Rally resulted in a loud crack of snapping plastic and a number of plastic fragments exiting the wheelbase. This coupled with the failure of a few more microswitches meant it was time to call it quits. The G29 came up at what I consider a decent price-point a few days later. That’s fate I guess.

And so to the Logitech – First impressions are unsurprisingly similar to my old G25 setup, albeit minus the H-shifter. The plastics are cheap and greasy looking, but robust. The buttons and contact points feel solid and likely to outlast me. The leather feels good and makes your hands smell a bit funny initially.There is no extraneous give or slack in anything. It looks a little more toy-like than other wheels, but the extravagant number of switches, rockers, dials and lights are worth the fussy looks – more on those next.

The wheel – Buttons! Buttons everywhere!! But, while initially overwhelming, you soon find out how much flexibility they give you. The rotary dial is satisfying to click around and is superb for adjusting brake balances on the fly during a qualifier in Project CARS. On PC, it means you can map more controls than ever before to the wheel rather than having to flail at the keyboard during a crucial moment. PS4 compatibility is superb (let’s be honest, it blinking well ought to be), giving you the full compliment of buttons to navigate the PS dashboard.

The only missing features compared to the Dual Shock controllers are the touch-pad, the speaker and the headphone jack (a shame). Otherwise, you can leave your gamepads in their charging dock and happily use the wheel.

The change lights are a nice touch, although if you have a more upright seating arrangement as I do, it tends to be out of your eye-line. A more laid back setup, such as a Playseat would make them a valuable asset however.
The feedback from the wheel is pretty good. Coming from a belt-driven Fanatec wheel, it initially felt a little granular – hardly surprising as it uses a gear-drive. But that has proven to not be a total step back. The wheel itself feels a lot more precise than the Fanatec. There’s no slack in the turn at all and road-positioning is a totally new level. Lap times did tumble after a very short learning curve, mostly due to the sheer consistency of the wheel movement. The Fanatec, despite a better resolution, optical sensor and a more powerful motor always seemed to be a step behind – wandery and more aloof. The G29 has turned spiky handling games into smooth joyous experiences.

The Pedals – Ok, they’re not going to better a set of 250 Clubsport V2’s, but consider that they come bundled with a wheel for a lot less than 200 and they are not too shabby. The only difference to the ones on the G25 is the brake pedal which now has some resistance. This saves having to modify it like previous Logitech pedals (memories of finding the right springiness of squash ball spring to mind). It’s a cheap update, but it works very well. While only low resolution, all pedals feels responsive and easily modulated. One other advantage is that you won’t have to clean the sensors every couple of minutes (cough Clubsports.)

Compatibility – As mentioned, the G29 works with the PS4 superbly and I really mean that. Not having to power on a gamepad to be able to switch the console off or access the dashboard is fantastic. In terms of games, Project CARS was made to work with the wheel and it shows, with the default control scheme being spot on. Driveclub is also well setup for painless ease of use. Moving across to the PC and most modern racers support the wheel out-of-the-box after installing the Logitech driver software. All positive.

Conclusion – Ignore the money-grabbing Lgotech ethics and what you have is a superb but undeniably old-school wheel. That’s not a bad thing as judging by the old Drive Force wheel I have in the loft, it’s likely to be with cockroaches and Nissan Micra’s in being capable of surviving a nuclear apocalypse.Coming from the Fanatec fold, I’ll take that as a worthy upgrade.

This is a quick review as there are already some well written reviews here. I sold my G27 which was good enough for my needs on PC but didn’t work on PS4. Set up was a breeze and fitted exactly the same way on to my wheel stand pro.

This wheel has more functionally placed buttons imo. By that I mean when playing Project Cars, I have assigned traction control, abs and stability on the blue colored buttons. By doing that, it is easier to remember which button does what from the get go. The wheel looks better to me as the prefer the color scheme over the G27.

The paddles have a slightly more sturdier click when changing gears than the G27. The multi functional dial feels a bit cheap but I missed having it as I also owned in the past a Driving Force GT.

Now the biggest difference is the brake pedal. This break pedal has shaved seconds off my lap times and has helped my braking skill to improve within the first hour of using it. I couldn’t turn off the abs on the G27 in Assetto Corsa with great results but I can now. I am able to brake and enter corners faster and exit them with better precision. Really, this change is massive for those who haven’t experienced brake mods before. If my G27 was modded then this wouldn’t be such a big deal I suppose.

I also bought Project cars and first thought that the force feedback wasn’t very good at all until I found some tutorials to which I will leave the links at the end of the review. Once configured the wheel came into it’s own. I already know what a G27 feels like on Assetto Corsa so I knew what to expect from the G29 but again, the brake pedal makes the difference.

So why the 4 stars then. It’s overpriced compared to the G27. Compared to the T300rs price wise, I feel that it’s not bad as the T300 rs has lesser quality pedals. I was going to buy the T300 instead but didn’t want to risk the wheel bugging out after the return policy expired. It has questionable reliability. I have rma’d Logitech items before with excellent service and quick turnarounds so I played it safe.

The T300 rs is the better wheel no doubt but this is what I wanted and I am glad to have bought it.

I should receive the h pattern gear stick tomorrow so I will post here with my thoughts on it, It’s available from Logitiech online.

Update. I have now received the gear stick and I am quite pleased with it. The stick feels a bit more sturdier but only slightly.
There is a noticeable click when engaging 1st, 3rd and 5th gears. It’s as if they have used more metal in the internals so that it produces a more solid engagement, a definite improvement over the G27.

The funny thing is………I bought this for PS4 compatibility but have only used it for an hour with Driveclub. I find that the wheel has improved my enjoyment of that game but has exposed it to be too arcade like and doesn’t bring the best out of the wheel. Project cars and Assetto Corsa is where this wheel shines. Project cars has a setting in the control options called classic that really improves the force feedback dramatically. And from that point, you can start to customize the feedback per car as you please.

Thanks for reading. 😉
