G27 vs G29 - Logitech Wheel Comparison

[@madfreakinc2]

i remember when i used to watch videos of the wheel and wish that i could own one but i was too poor and it was depressing thinking id have to order it online and pay a lot to clear it cause of the weight and being in a far away country i watched tons of videos until one day i got a job and used my first pay check to purchase a wheel i found in a store locally it cost a lot but i was able to get it at long last. but it was nice having people make videos about it back then it was the g27 and now i got the g29 just need to buy the shifter and ill be complete!

[@madfreakinc2]

@Orlando murillo awesome man hope you get it soon! i actually got the shifter too :D its so amazing i installed a mod for gta 5 and i can use it there i have no regrets!

[@edmund8954]

from experiences like this, when you dont have it you keep watching videos on it, then after you get it you just kinda stop. or is it just me??

[@1HyperCube1]

It does somewhat annoy me that they are both so similar. I'm sure Logitech are making a good profit by using the same shells and parts.

[@1HyperCube1]

I'm hopefully going to buy the T300RS GT soon.

[@eclap78]

Not similar. They're the same wheel, only the G29 is dressed up a bit more. Internally, same. Overpriced

[@hmmm9183]

@@eclap78 internally they are different. For one g27 has optic sensors while g29 has magnetic ones. Buttons are at the very top and you fail to notice them? G29 is not as loud as g27 thats 100% due to different parts. Pedals are different aswell...

[@betterdeadthanred839]

I use to have G27 years ago and now I have G923 and ill tell you that G27 still holds it's own. Logitech needs to step up their game and really overhaul next generation. Maybe a hybrid system.....direct drive? Fanatec just dropped CSL DD for under $400....thats cheaper than G923....

[@toxichazard5015]

I mean... yeh you're sorta right but when you actually look at it, the Fanatec doesn't come with: A wheel - $200 Pedals - $100 Shifter (optional) - $200 It doesn't even come with a mount... you just cant compare them. You're talking about a $1000 setup in order to have the same kit as a Logitech. For a beginner, that isn't feasible.

[@MrDm6711]

I have a g27 wheel and I use it on Gran Turismo sport, by using the Cronusmax plus, which works quite well.

[@fekett]

On xbox whether ps4?

[@tanuki2k]

the round logo on the shifter is left over from when the shifter (forgot what model) had a dial in its place for changing from sequenziale to H-shifter.

They are downgrading shifters every time new version comes out. Next time there will be no shift stick.

[@danielh9981]

@@michallo9570 its bc the buttons are moved to the steeringwheel i guess

[@justharley1610]

I have the G27 and if I crash in some games I can't really grab the wheel easy to click a button but when you but it on the shifter you don't have to worry about that so I think that's also better, just my opinion

[@Azza.10]

G27 looks more of an enthusiast wheel. G29 looks more toyish. I'm going for the G27 mostly because of that lol

[@jacobpedersen6637]

A bit disappointed with Logitech. I was expecting them to bring the G29 up to a new standard. Will be looking at Trustmaster for my go-to wheel.

[@EagerSnake]

Thank you for the video. I'm about to buy a new wheel, but my problem here is that, in South America, is almost impossible to get Thrustmster or any other brand except Logitech. Ive been playing for years with a DFGT, so, I think the "upgrade" should be great. What do you think?

[@Francoberry]

EagerSnake can’t speak for oink, but I absolutely loved my time with the G27. Was a huge step up from DFGT, and a nice complete package. The pedals are far better than even the basic thrustmaster pedals

[@EagerSnake]

Thanks for answering. As I said, it is almost impossible to get a wheel except for a Logitech, so, I was really trying to decide if it's worth it to import a t150 or something similar. But the G29 I assume is going to be more than fine right? It would a real let down If I already had the 27, but since I came from the DFGT... Anyway, thanks again for answering me.

[@Francoberry]

EagerSnake the G27 I had was great, so the newer model you're interested in will only improve on a great formula! You won't be disappointed

[@EagerSnake]

Thanks Franco. Thank you very much.

[@GranTurismooink]

Agreed 100% with froncoberry,. From a DFGT, the G29 will be a fantastic leap, I went from DFGT to the 27 a number of years back and it really is worth it. DFGT is great for a first wheel, good price and lots of features, but the quality step up between that and a 27/29 is well worth it. I cant speak for the value of a thrustmaster, so I can't say one way or the other if it's worth an imort, but I can highly recommend a new Logitech.

[@SoraSummer]

I need to get a new G27. I brought it 2nd hand from CEX. Worked fine at first, but then got faulty. Turning to the right actives the buttons on the wheel. But I can't contact Logitech as I need a serial number, I really want it replaced.

[@sexyguy3647]

I know this comment is 4 months old but just incase you havn`t resolved this, CEX has 2 year warranty on all purchases

[@yoloers]

Thanks for the review! 5 years later and its still very helpful! Seems i'll be spending 70$ on a g27 as opposed to 200$ on a g29 and having to purchase a shifter on the side

[@dc284]

The only reason to upgrade if you have a pc is getting it to work properly with newer games since the g27 software is trash now and sadly I've seen no new drivers either

[@Masfeo1792]

The best comparisson I have seen so far between those two wheels. Why do all g27 wheels seem to spin so weird? They look like they are not "centered", or that the wheel is not round shaped (it looks bigger on the left hand side). Does this affect the driving at all, is it odd?

[@GranTurismooink]

I've never had any issues with that, it feels natural when driving. It's possible the wheel isn't a perfect circle which is why it looks as if it's not centered?

[@unfunny2258]

Capitán Cebolla PiesdePó yeah it looks way bigger on the left

[@Akira-kd6us]

Pretty late but, simple answer I believe is: those micro misalignments from logitech caused the wheel to spin in a non perfect manner. It could be due to the attachment point of the wheel not being centered, or due to plastic warp/flex or the wheel simply not being a perfect circle. Imagine a stick connected to a bottle cap and if the tip of the stick is off-centered even just by a super tiny bit, the cap would spin oddly. Those old train wheels use this exact mechanism intentionally. Does this affect driving?: No it doesn't, probably won't feel it, even if you do I'm quite sure it wouldn't bother you.

[@gavshields83]

Hi, out of interest which Thrustmster wheel are you referring to as comparative to G29 given your budget?

[@GranTurismooink]

I think the T500 is a rough competitor, and is nearly double retail price. Even the T300 which I think feature wise is not as strong as the G29 is a good £50 more expensive for the most part. I appreciate that both those thrustmasters use different internals to the logitechs but I suppose it's whether or not that's good value for money :D

[@eclap78]

Lol, the T300 Ferrari Alcantara is £100 more and is a much better wheel, with better pedals too. If you want something similar to the G29, go with the Thrustmaster TX Pro, wheel is on par if not better than the G29 and has better pedals (T3PA) for around £80 less. The G29 is literally the worst wheel for around £250. BTW. T500 a rough competitor to the G29? It's not even close, the T500 is miles ahead of the G29. Most prefer the T300 to the T500 due to T300's belt driven FFB. G29 with it's clunky gears is so 90s.

[@ilyclov]

I want to buy a g27 but it's only avaliable as used. It worth it?

[@pequod3782]

Any updates? Got the same question.

[@TroubledKiwi]

Mine lasted probably 8yrs. The encoder cracks but there is a guy in Thailand that will send you a replacement encoder for ~$50. Loved mine. It wasn't the most powerful but damn its fun. The encoder wheel is a known g27 problem but is a very easy fix. They fixed what was broken with the g29 or so it seems, so why fix whats not broken??

Use one button to toggle a second shifter profile with the remaining gears mapped to it as the only change
