If they make a more entry level model for consoles and pc I reckon they can easily take on the fannatec dd. Especially considering how well the g29 does in console spaces.

[@Sideways_Singh]

What do u mean more entry level? I paid the same amount for the dd pro with loadcell pedals, fanatec tricks u with there pricing, shipping is over $200 and duties another $150 at the end u pay the same as this wheel package.

[@BurtSampson]

For real. 5-6nm base, sub $500(get it at like $450) for base and rim. They'd kill.

[@Finoid_]

they should make a better G920 with better ffb and quick release and put it 250-350 dollars i would get it

[@JaredPaul01]

Unfortunately this looks to be exactly that, an entry level DD. looking at the plastic construction limited rotation and lower quality buttons, power plug ect. Only thing they may do is sell a unit without truforce and a fixed wheel.

the G29 only needs a few small-ish changes to be great again: belt drive and stronger motors being the biggest one imo

[@Salutifer0us]

It's interesting, but not in the "I want it" way of interesting, it's rather "tie your cat's rear legs together and glue a sticky note on its head to watch it trying to walk funny" interesting. The prices are a bucket of ice cold water dropped on your head - not poured out, just dropped so it hits you bottom first. Design is questionable, but subjective. The biggest flaw in this is definitely going to be software, as just saying "g hub" is enough to give some people ptsd and logitech are seriously doing themselves a disservice if they're going to rely on it long term without completely overhauling it. Time will tell how it will work out when it hits the masses.

[@yubos98]

Hell right, G HUB is the bane of my existence as a Logitech G920 user prior to me getting a Moza R9. While SimPit is not the best thing in the world, it's miles ahead of G HUB in terms of stability. The bloody thing just works! I turn on the base - it gets detected, I go off to the races. With G HUB I had to relaunch the damned software all the time to make it recognize the wheel so that I could switch presets! Also, having the ability to use my smartphone to manipulate the wheel's settings without alt-tabbing is a great feature!

It would be great if Logitech decide to sell this in Brazil/SA region where you can't really but any DD wheel from Fanatec/Moza etc, they could take an market that have no easy option. If they bring this to Brazil it would probably cost around 2k USD with taxes, but you can't really buy any other DD for less that 3/4k USD from a independent import, so would make this became an easy option for almost everyone who wants an DD wheel that is officially sold inside the country.

[@AlwinCrasto]

Same here in India. I bet there are several countries just like ours where there are no DD wheels or load cell pedals selling but where Logitech already have established themselves by selling the G29 and other peripherals. If Logitech brings their G Pro wheel and pedals to these markets they'll be the only choice and stand to make a lot of money.

[@honeybadger1656]

Yup I'm quite sad that Fanatec, Moza, etc don't see the huge sim racing community that we have here in South Africa.

[@rodmorgan7041]

I used the G29 for about 2 years on F1 2020 but I wanted to go Direct Drive. Here in Australia Fanatec is sold out everywhere, impossible to get and most of the others are too. So I went for the G9 Pro and it is fantastic. The more I get used to the fine adjustments it gets even better. The large plastic case I think is to make a channel for airflow all around to be sucked out the back with the 80mm exhaust fan. And the DD motor would be mounted directly to the bottom mounting plate. I also think the pedals are fantastic.

It just connects the sound through the motors, that's basically trying to emulate the feel of a good wheel. This is the equivalent of having "7.1 surround sound" on headphones, which is just emulation. Sure it works, but it's nothing compared to a real thing when you try it out

Sounds relatively reasonable, but honestly if those pedals are that expensive then they're actually not that good in fact they'll be boardline trash. As Logitech themselves are expecting people to mod mostly likely from a 3rd party. But if they can compete with Fanatec new pedals then they will actually seem to okay. Price affects perceptions

UK prices are usually quoted inclusive of tax, which is why they end up around the same numerical value as the pre-tax dollar price. That £850 is before taxes, however, so you'd actually be paying £1,020.

As for the pedals, at the same price you can get the Clubsport V3, metal, not plastic, and actually upgradeable, compared to these.

I'm gonna comment before I even watch your video randy and I hope readers take this as a good tip. Lots of these u-beaut wheels clip ie lose ffb at critical times in a race. In a long race, lots of corners, or high ffb settings I am reading that expensive DD wheel bases are clipping due to overheating and/or gamers using them at the maximum rated Nm because they didn't know about this issue. The solution I've read is to turn the ffb down to where it doesn't clip. Now I see the Logi G Pro has a fan in back instead of an all aluminum casing. So instead of looking steampunk or if I was to be narky, looking like a Ford Escort gear box, the Logi Pro looks more retail, mainstream even ordinary; aka just another plastic thingy. BUT, I am also reading that a player cannot hear the fan because it is so quiet. I have not read or heard of ANYBODY complaining of clipping on the Logi Pro base at ANY ffb setting. I have read and heard the ffb is as smooth as silk AND is not grainy! What does that tell me? Logi did in fact get it right in many areas.I Also last thing, I note that the Logi G Pro is sold a at brick and mortar outlets at leas there in Oz it is.

Since I played GT7 with PS5 the haptics on DS5 are so nice and you can feel a lot in racing games. When I use a wheel it’s numb. Great resistance and all but not much detail.

But more intense probably.

I had always assumed when Logitech/Thrustmaster finally released a DD wheel they would undercut Fanatic but guess I assumed wrong. Looks nice anyway!

[@gazmundo1987]

I agree, though Fanatec has been in this market for some time. I would assume that after some time, the cost will come down (in theory).

[@iamzuesthisisthetruth8864]

Inflation is aBi***

[@Tautulis7]

love the idea, but with Fanatecs ecosystem, there´s a shitload to catch up with. They havent even got a formula style wheel to begin with.

[@SheNeverCared]

they look good but I still like my thrustmaster and would like to upgrade to fanatec when i can

[@JasonBryantGreen]

If everyone gets this for more realism why do you want the wheel to spin infinitely?

[@GMDEROKEZ]

I know it's kinda late and it's probably has been fixed already, but I suggest to namek the noise gate less agressive, it make the voice real choppy.

[@Chronic_DubZ]

At first i thought it was a joke. But now thrustmaster is REALLY in trouble.

[@9alex2]

Big red flag already: 2 cables that can snag from rotation on a wheel is not a good deal, especially at this price point

[@buddy5088]

I’ve had the Logitech wheel for 3 months. There are no cables up snag. The cables are on the back of the wheel base. There is no possible way they will snag.

[@effinjamieTT]

Having to use Ghub would stop me from ever investing in this setup

[@thiagoods021]

Hey man, great review. I noticed something weird with your audio, I don't know if the noise suppression from your mic is too strong, but it cuts your voice out at some points, like at 26:09. (edit: fixed timestamp)

[@thecavemandynamic2685]

@random callsign: Great review! Thank you!

[@uni556]

How would you compare this to the Fanatec DD Pro?

[@edrisjohnson3858]

No thanks. Too expensive. Staying with my Fanatec DD Pro.

[@abuelb]

Fanatec CSL DD 8Nm is weak compared to Logi G pro. I have both. G pro 8Nm is more like 12Nm with stronger FFB and holding torque than fanatec 8Nm. No clipping too at high torque.

[@ed3192]

The simagic mini is a beast! There are tests made with it that have measured 13 nm peak (it’s on an iracing forum) so the 10 claimed is likely the continuous torque. It is price the same as this Logitech and it’s very tiny compared to this one. The quick release on simagic is amazing and the fact that you can run other usb wheels it’s just Amazing and I am not forced to an ecosystem. We can now argue that being quick release you can use Logitech with an usb wheel as well but just overall stick to simagic. Though one bad thing to note about it is the notch feel when it’s centered but I’m certainly that it’s all fixed with software updates.

trueforce is unique to logitech

[@supercededman]

@@DonVincenzooGame I think compatibility with both console and PCs are a massive plus. Many of the competitors are PC only.

[@DonVincenzooGame]

@@supercededman i am pc only . when it come to sim racing a little pc is the best way to go for me .

[@cyclopszn8895]

Not gonna lie, this looks really, really good .

[@HiRiSC300]

Soooo, what about the H-shifter??

[@Jabbawock1972]

honestly...nearly no wheels..mostly plastic....for 1500€ i just bought the Moza R9 with the GS Wheel an really good pedals like the DC or similar...only pro of the Logitech is the console compatibility...but which console player is willing to spend about 2-3 grand? Base,Pedals Rig( no chance to use such a base with a table clamp) Seat and much more...thats 4-5 PS5 or Xbox.Would be much smarter to make a base in the range of the Moza R5 or the Fanatec Clubbase

[@justeddie6836]

Your desktop wallpaper is beautiful.

[@chereveco666]

Hello, which is the best set up for Assetto Corza? Do you use G923 compatibility or G-Pro?

[@thomas6063]

People complain and make a big deal about the Logitech G Pro Wheel/Pedals but it is SO AFFORDABLE & a GREAT DEAL! Currently, G Pro wheel+Pro pedals is just over $1200. When compare a similar setup from Fanatec, the Logitech is the budget buy. Fanatec is like going to fancy restaurant - everything (with the exception of the very few non-customizable bundles they offer) is a la carte. The Fanatec DD Pro + boost kit + a decent wheel (oh yea and don't forget paddle shifters... and a quick release because Fanatec sells those separately in most cases)

[@MrTehNoms]

A rack for the base and wheel. AND they're still making two different bases for the different consoles? Fuck that. Fanatec here I come. At least I can just buy an xbox wheel and slap it on a DD. Fuck this shit

[@whumanati3927]

Spat my coffee out when you said 1500 for the set

[@Renovatio2]

It is 2072. Earth has been ravaged by war and famine. Alien contact has been made. Humanity has become a spacefaring species and populated several terraformed planets. Thrustmaster is preparing to launch its 1st direct drive wheelbase.

[@romeocurziRP]

and rockstar launch gta-6🤣

[@InformatrIIcks]

Fanatec teased once more their QR2

[@HasselHoffman-im5he]

Still waiting for a new Logitech gear shifter

[@Modmaann]

Amen to that I just went the route of 3d printing companies like 3d wrap that makes upgraded intervals and basically a replacement upgraded part for every part In the true force shifter and pedals and wheel. Makes a bigggg difference and makes it notchy and stays in gear without the appropriate amount of movement when changing gears

[@JesusGonzalezPR]

Imagine this base with the Thrustmaster SF1000 wheel… glorious !

[@sawkmicoc4287]

The fact you can drop 1k on a wheel from a company who makes one 30 dollar option for a shifter and no option for sequential of handbrakes is wild. Logitech needa up their game.

[@wrceuro]

@random callsign I have a question that might help many others in my situation. My current setup is the Fanatec CSL DD with McLaren W. and V3 Fanatec P. - I am looking to get something better and I was looking at the Fanatec DD2 base or completely switching to SC 2 Pro. but then this came out. Can you please give me your honest opinion on which you think is better? Thanks

[@jahshjahsh2002]

4:49 reminds me of the inflated giant Michilin guy.
