Bought my G27 new in 2010 for €210,- and used it almost daily since then. Never had any issues. I also ran a programm about 2 years ago that automaticly calibrated the steering wheel to reoptimize everything after all those years and make it more precise again. (Not the stock g27 logitech profiler). It runs a programm and your wheel will turn and test things for a few minutes. After that my wheel was noticably more accurate in assetto corsa. Still works great! I Also tried my friends G920 and the G27 feels better imo. I also just read somewhere that the g27 has stronger FFB or something so that makes sense

The knobs are probably not broken or stuck. They are supposed to stay down, so they aren't in the way. Turning them a bit will allow the spring to push up the knob allowing the user to rotate it manually.

My suggestion for the encoder - buy a brass encoder instead of gluing the same plastic till it breaks again. Change it to a brass encoder and you will Never have the alignment problem ever again.
@VVeedragon
@VVeedragon Жыл бұрын
I appreciate the advice but bruv it's $4 for krazy glue vs $33 plus shipping for a brass encoder. That plastic ain't going to break because it's now reinforced with a steel washer and I modded the wheel for improved cooling with $16 cooling fins so the risk of the plastic encoder wheel heating up and breaking again is very low. Been playing since this video and no alignment issues have come up.

I think i got the one that pops up in google when you type 'G27 brass encoder'. The one from Vietnam. It was around 5 years ago, no idea if you can still buy from him. It does not have to be brass. Any metal will be better than a thin plastic. I see aliexpress has one from stainless steel for 14 euros. I did the same thing you did @VVeedragon, with glue and steel washer, but i made a mess and was just doing it poorly. The glue also probably wasn't the best, because the encoder broke three more times, before i decided - enough is enough - i need a metal encoder 😂

I currently have an MIA G27. The first thing that broke was the reverse gear selector switch, where you press down on the shifter. I managed to reconfigure my controls in Grand Prix Legends and Euro/American Truck Sims to select reverse using a button. But then I started to get the alignment problem. Everything is aligned ok on the grid, but after only a couple of laps, I'm having to turn the wheel about 45 degrees to the left to get the car to go straight. It happens even faster if I'm using force-feedback and bumping the car/truck over kerbs. But after watching this video, I might try getting myself some Hex/Allen Keys and opening up the case to find the encoder wheel. Hopefully, like you, I can find a way to stop it spinning on the shaft. Thanks for the inspiration! 👍 EDIT: I've just tried to find the follow-up video that you said you were going to make, with more details about your repairs, tools, materials etc, but I can't find it. Did you smoke a blunt and forget all about it? If so, that's why I don't like drugs! 😂

This is quite a spectacular guy. The placement of the encoder on the back of the motor shaft is plain bad though, they should have found some spot for it away from direct heat source. The reason it cracks is that this is polyamide (the family of plastics that Nylon belongs to) and the way it's made, it comes out of the mould undersized and brittle; then they bag it with water and condition it to absorb about 4% of its weight and volume in moisture, maybe a little more, it not only becomes super tough ans supple, it also expands in size. It's then easily applied to the shaft, and then en route to you, silica gel in the package absorbs whatever excess moisture comes out and it shrinks right on and it's solid, it won't fail for a while. This way it's good for 10-30 years of life in most mechanisms. But the problem is you need to avoid excess heat, as it drives the moisture out of the plastic, and as it shrinks and becomes more brittle, the force of the metal shaft pressing outwards on it is guaranteed going to break it. It's not the centrifugal force, that's basically nothing. It has some ability to regenerate because it's strongly hygroscopic, but it's limited. Of course that shaft is going to be quite warm in use, you see the problem. Also you're gradually pushing up against the design life of that now well aged plastic piece, and some climates are more brutal to it than others. The reason it broke was that it had to be already on the brink of failure due to moisture loss. It can be reconditioned by the same way it was done at a factory, but when it's cracked it's too late and polyamides can't be permanently glued (low surface energy, it rejects foreign chemicals), and solvents that can weld it are restricted in availability. It's better to get a replacement encoder anyway, aftermarket ones are either metal or made from resins that don't share this failure mode, they should all be fine long term.

bought mine in 2015 and got a free one because amazon had to send another one when the first one got lost. I got the second and a month later the 1st one showed up and I sold that wheel to my friend for the price i paid for it originally. So basically got it for free and still works in 2024. I'm extremely abusive on shifts and I do miss a gear every now and then but it still works and the solid stand i have made it last longer than what it would of on the desk mount. Best budget wheel I ever bought.

Thank you so much for this. I bought my G27 new maybe 10 years ago, for my PS3, but not used the wheel in over five years. I bought a gaming PC some years ago, with plans to upgrade to Fanatec gear. Fanatec stopped selling what I wanted and my interest in driving games stopped. Spotted a G29 on Amazon sale (not much of a saving really), which lead me to research if it was worth me buying. I had no idea about the over heating issues, or the fake air vents, or the encoder wheel issue of the G27. From what I've read on a quick Google search of G27 v G29, there are the same inside, so the G29 will logically have the same issues. I do know that the wheel clamps are a pain on my thighs and just get in my way as my wheel is bolted to a stand. I have seen a video on how to remove the clamps, which I didn't want to do when the wheel was under warranty, then I got kind of scared of breaking the wiring, taking the wheel apart to remove the clamps. I would never have thought to replace the grease. I would never have thought to open the vents up. I would never have had the genius idea to use RC motor heat sinks. You have inspired me to stick with my G27,. I have subscribed and will look forwards to your other videos on the G27.

Honestly I’d love to see more competitors in the steering wheel market you literally just have Logitech making the “plug n play” full steering wheel experience. Thrustmaster is the only one who comes close with the T150 but come on, two pedals? Forget about it lmao Competition will make this stagent budget entry level steering wheel segment of the market alot more interesting imo

The main appeal of a G27 in this modern age is that it works well with older titles while still being useable with modern ones. I ordered one recently, because I want to play some NFS Underground with a wheel, but my fanatec wheel is not compatible at all. I have to download a ton of software and mods to barely run it. NFSU with a G27 is one of my best memories, simply fantastic.

Been using a g27 for years with none of these issues except the overheating, I just cut a hole and mounted a PC fan in it but other than that I've used this heavily even with the fan unplugged I've never had anything break or come miss aligned. Also the g27 was out before ghub and doesn't need it, g27 only needs the Logitech profiler. The only downside the g27 has is overheating, old ffb and because it has a dual motor system each motor has to be set to not fight each other and therefore creates a center deadzone that has no ffb. Good review but the g27 is a great starter wheel for $100 to $200 and is highly recommended for beginners. Plus you get buttons on your shifter which they don't do anymore

So, one question. I have a little disability where my foot doesn't push down very well...called drop foot... so is there any way to use anything else for gas and brake other than the foot pedals like using the paddle shifters on the wheel for gas and brake instead of shifting gears or am I just screwed and should just avoid buying a steering wheel?
@SianaGearz
@SianaGearz Жыл бұрын
Most games will allow you to set up custom controls. I don't think you want to be paddle throttling and braking though, it's not going to work out well especially in more simulationy titles, as these controls are simple switches while you want continuous inputs, going too hard on either gas or brake will usually cause you to lose control. Worth a try though i would say. What i suggest is that you find someone in your region who is good at building things, someone with at least a little say model building or 3D printing background and minimal knowledge of electronics, and work out a custom control device. The pedals are electrically potentiometers and are on a simple connector that is easy to solder. You may be able to buy a broken Xbox360 pad (none other will work) for $5 and extract the trigger mechanism and special potentiometers from that, and mount them somewhere on the wheel where you can reach those triggers with your fingers at the back of the steering wheel. You can also find some other small-angle or short slide potentiometers and mount them on the front of the steering wheel to control them with your thumbs up or down. Maybe you can also adapt to push the pedal not with the ball of the foot but with the heel, might that work with your limitation? You just need to secure the pedal base against sliding somehow. I suggest also evaluating simpler wheels like Driving Force GT which MIGHT have lighter pedals. That aren't trying to be heavy and car-like, where the whole pedal base is more flimsy so it's not designed for all that much force. Good luck! OH OH WAIT A SECOND. I remembered something. There's this wheel, Logitech Driving Force WIRELESS. It's designed as a lap wheel rather than a desk attachment and isn't operated with pedals. Instead it has continuous paddle throttle/brake. It's more of a toy and less of a preferred simulation device, so it goes for very little money, less than $50 used, while its MSRP was only $100. It's for PS3 and PC. I don't know how good its compatibility with Windows 10/11 or new games is.

You can get an aluminium bracket to replace a plastic one, it makes the unit more rigid and dampens a lot of the noise. There's a vid or two on YT if you search for it.

If you have the money, I advise you totally skip the gear-driven wheels and go straight for the belt-driven and direct drive ones. Personally I would recommend the Moza R5 wheel

Yes the FF is weak out of the box because they were never greased that much to begin with. But I believe you, belt driven is better than gear driven any day. Hopefully my new mod video coming out tomorrow will breathe new life into your g27 :)
