Logitech G29 | honest 3 month review

So I bought a "used" Logitech G29 and so far I've used it for 3 months..
In this video, I'll explain whether the Logitech G29 is still a good option as an entry-level race sim wheel in 2023
I use it to play games like Forza Horizon 5 and Assetto Corsa, and i'm looking forward to the new Forza Motorsport releasing later this year. This wheel is also good for Gran Turismo, Project Cars, and other racing sims.

[@bestopinion9257]

The size of wheel has to do with its weak FFB (compared to other wheels on market). If you mount on it something bigger, the FFB will feel even weaker because you need less effort to rotate something with bigger radius. I suggest let it as it is.

[@Vanity7k]

Thanks for the insight! I haven’t felt the need to do any upgrades since I’m just a very casual sim racer

[@FourthandFoles]

I just got mine in today! So excited

[@Vanity7k]

Congrats!!! The more I use it, the more I love it!

[@stonebone316]

Waiting on mine coming from amazon. Super excited for it.

[@caydn2]

How do you like it?

[@l-zero1941]

I bought a little piece of carpet to put under the pedals and its work perfectly

[@Vanity7k]

Good idea, do you have a floor similar to mine?

[@JoeFiddle-ls5jh]

$5 fix

[@DHR0101]

Your supposed to take those clips off of the mounting hooks and keep them. It’s supposed to protect them when it isn’t on your desk.

[@TimurKaramov]

Con1 is 10 degrees deadzone in the middle. There is no force feedback near the center. With medium force settings two motors will just ping pong the wheel across the center. Some games try to hide this issue by minimising force settings near the center but in the end you will still likely oversteer. It was my first wheel, and if I knew it earlier I would probably did not bother.

[@Vanity7k]

I JUST realized this a couple of weeks ago. It didn’t bother me until I took a break from racing games and came back, and it felt off. Couldn’t put my finger on why.

[@ScorpioHR]

I've got F1 2018. for free, Epic games or maybe part of some racing humble bundle... FFB in that game with g29 is actually amazing. There's practically no dead zone, it feels firm yet it doesn't clip. I guess it's about the game engine, too.

[@ItsJustCarl1983]

If you have a dead zone you need to plug your wheel into a PC with GHUB and it will take out the dead zone

[@frdesign3034]

hi! I also have the logitech g29 and i find it very well i have made several modifications to make it better. for example, i created a quick release system to replace the steering wheel according to needs. it will not be the perfect steering wheel but it is definitely the best entry level.

[@Voltomess]

is there anything you can do to have less noisy ffb? I heard it's very loud and moves vibration to the desk and that makes it even more loud

[@frdesign3034]

To reduce the vibration a little I added this component: @@Voltomess

[@lancevance2005]

I've had my G29 since 2016 and it still works as good as new. the only problem I've had with it is I'm on my 3rd shifter. The shifters tend to last about 2 years but are easily replaced on amazon

[@Vanity7k]

Awesome to hear that

[@KennySolos]

Do you mean just the "stick" or the whole module?

[@lancevance2005]

@KenanDShredder the "stick" shifter always has the same issue where it can't tell what gear it's in. For example, my last shifter would always think it's in 3rd gear weather, I put it in 1st 3rd or 5th

[@Strider1Wilco]

Ah yes easily replaced... $60 is easy...

And also im planning on getting the G29 as well this year ive already looked at other youtubers review ive heard it is pretty good im only wanting the steering wheel with pedals only im not planning on using the gear shifter but thats good anyway bc its apparently separated im gonna use the G29 for PC and ps5

[@indianabrookz7664]

I'm currently running and modding a G923. So far I've wired in an external handbrake "V1" and actually just installed the kit to put my button box in front of my deep dish wheel and have been in contact with the seller from etsy. 5:54 Had a bit of an issue with the 3D printed paddles but he just sent me a new set I'm gonna try em out tomorrow. This is my 2nd one in about a year, first one was used, this one was new, and I'm loving the modability of it. I will say, I do plan on upgrading to the $1400 Logitech Pro direct drive in the future, but for now I plan on modding the hell out of my 923 and keeping it as an extra setup.

[@Vanity7k]

That’s really badass! I personally can’t wait until forza motorsport comes out. My wheel hasn’t seen much use since that game is the reason I bought it, but it got delayed from spring to october

[@jonm2522]

Hi i was wondering how do you change the rotation of the wheel to 180 instead of the full turn 360 on ps5 setting please.

[@sweeleangloh]

Thanks! Currently on the lookout for a wheel, but if i can now imagine the problem with hard pedal (brake), question, since we need to step harder on the pedal, assuming i have it against on the wall, will the whole thing(the platform of all 3pedals) moved if i step hard by sudden? Hope u get what i mean😅 thanks!

[@Vanity7k]

There are mods to soften it. I haven’t had any issue with mine, and I have it pushed up against the wall under my desk. Hope this helps

[@MickeyDee420]

thats what i did, im goiing to sell mg g29, i got the starter kit from fanatec

[@alicly]

hey! about to get this for christmas since i wanna start sim racing n sh.., 1. is it compatible with windows 11? 2. can you set up what certain buttons do on certain games? 3. is it easy to set up on pc, and if not as so, is there a specific tutorial i can follow? (do you have one? or could you post one)

[@Vanity7k]

Not sure about the compatibility with w11, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. You can definitely program different buttons to different functions in all of the games i’ve played so far. It is very easy to set up on pc, but you will want to look up a “best settings” video for each game that you play so that it feels good and it’s fine-tuned for what you want. Hope this helps!

[@alicly]

@@Vanity7k thank you!

[@Todayhukamnama]

Hey there, have u got your wheel ? If yes, is it win11 compatible? Am about to buy a new one but really confused in g29 and g923. Is it worth spending extra 100usd for g923? Please reply 😊❤
