Still just a g27. The fact that Sony and logitech got together to fuck gamers by making us buy the same wheel twice is completely bullshit and I didn't fall for it. Most ps4 driving games are shit so I'm not missing much.

@@TrigonAZR maybe they'd shift more units if they were more affordable. We don't sell that many so we have to ask a premium price, no I wouldn't buy one the price is too high id buy one if it was a bit cheaper... Confluence of opposition haha. Immovable object meets irresistible force. If your gonna spend 250 quid I might as well spend 450quid instead and get a better one. This would be my attitude personally, and that would basically leave them selling nothing their either so they don't appeal to people who want an entry price offering and they don't appeal to someone who wants something better than entry point offering

[@Sithhy]

Got the G29 as my first wheel as well & I have to say it's more fun than a controller by miles. I have thought that maybe sometime in the future I would upgrade it to the "next level" (possibly when it breaks to the point I can't fix it after running out of warranty) & have thought about the Fanatec CSL Elite. You may think that there are better wheels than that & yes, you'd be right, but personally, to me it feels like anything past this price point, or maybe bit expensive, is just a dimnishing return, especially if you were to keep on upgrading for what ever reason. There is definitely a big difference from going to the gear drive of the G29 to even something like the belt drive of the CSL Elite, but I don't think it's worth spending twice (or more) that money to get a wheelbase with a direct drive system; just kind of seems like a big waste of money on a small upgrade, especially if you're not fully serious about sim racing (but even then, it's a bit ehhhh to spend *that* kind of money).

[@GGamersUnited]

[@brandonyoung4150]

I rly want one but I don't even have a regular sized table

[@mancantswim66191]

@@brandonyoung4150 To mount the wheel you only need a table with about 40cm width and 20cm length. If you have a computer desk that can also work fine. Big tables/dedicated rigs are made to handle much more power than the G29. This doesn't mean you get no feeling in a G29, it's just that some wheels have 10x the power of it. Good alternatives for a G29 include the cheaper Driving Force GT (Pedals are awful but the wheel itself is suprisingly good), the Thrustmaster T150 (I prefer the FFB to the G29 but the pedals on the T150 are worse), and if you can find one cheap enough, the Fanatec CSL Elite (Has the best pedals, and best wheel according to most but very rare). You will have to buy the Driving Force GT and CSL Elite used, as they are no longer available. If you are on PC, mix and match pedals and wheels. For example, if the CSL Elite full set isn't available or too expensive, use a Driving Force GT or T150 with the CSL Elite pedals. This does not work on Playstation though.

Used g29 for a month. What many people don’t mention is the diy potential of this wheel. It has many 3D printed mods and spring sets. I’ve changed the wheel, paddles, made inverted pedals and changed throttle and brake springs, added 3D printed part to the shifter to make shifts a little heavier. Those changes, I think, pretty much explored all most of the diy potential of this wheel and improved the experience significantly.

[@TomGS]

yup.

[@TomGS]

I actually own and use a g29, the brake is soft-ish 3/4 of the way, until it hits the rubber stopper. I have it set up so when i hit the stopper its on 90% brake pressure. (Ingame, mostly) it works pretty well.

[@rarewhiteape]

I actually really liked the rubber stopper in the brake. It felt good in Assetto to have to push hard to brake. Although in GT Sport you’re pretty much at 100% braking force before you even reach the firm part of the travel, which is annoying and hard to get used to at first. In F1 2019 I had the inner dead zone set so that the braking *begins* at the stopper, giving me a nice form brake pedal at all times! I know I was losing information by cutting out half the brake travel, but it really helped with consistency because I was applying more accurate pressure, closer to a real brake. I’ve upgraded to a Fanatec CSL with load cell now, but I’ll always look back on my time with the G29 with extreme fondness.

Great vid Chris, I'm a casual simmer ie: Saturdays and Sundays only! I still use a G25 which i bought 5 years ago for £25 on Ebay! I've graphite greased the gears in it and it still works perfectly! If you play AC then use Rasmus' info and LUT files available on Racedepartment, ACC feels really good on this wheel, They catered for it out of the box, RF2, Wreckfest etc all work well with this wheel and pedals, If my G25 claps out i will have to most probably replace it with a G29, I just cannot justify paying for a DD wheel on my income and simming as little as i do, Cheers.

It does have a direct competitor, the TM T150, cheaper price, similar features and specs

[@Augustinos]

The pro version actually

[@dertodestoaster1509]

I currently own a T150 pro and tried my friend's G29 a few times. In Germany they are very similarly priced at 187€ (TM) and 201€ (Logitech). In terms of force feedback I prefer the T150 and it's partially belt driven system. It is smoother than the G29 and doesn't have a very pronounced "grainy" feel to it. But the Logitech is miles ahead in style and comfort features. The leather feels much more premium than the T150's rubber grips and the selection of buttons and encoders available is also very nice (the rev LEDs are a nice touch but I didn't notice them while driving, so I wouldn't mind if they were missing). The T150 scores another point for the nice clicky feel of the shift paddles, which is in my opinion way better than the "spongy" paddles on the G29. Also a side note, the T150 doesn't offer hard mounting points (although there are some third party solutions for this). Lastly, the pedals: They are very similar in styling and feel. Neither set is particularly good or bad and you'll get used to both. In short: In my opinion the T150 feels better while driving, if you don't mind the rubber grips and overall cheaper feel. But if you can score a good deal on either one, go for it. Both are a great way to enter the realms of proper force feedback steering wheels.

@@dertodestoaster1509 I use a T150 with a strip from a microfibre towel wrapped around the wheel and stitched in place, easy to do and if you put a touch of glue on the slippery plastic bits of the wheel (which I didn't) then that along with the rubber will hold everything very firmly in place, feels miles better

I have been playing GT sport on my Thrustmaster T80 for almost a year and the product I have now is a replacement cus the first one did not shift up or did not accelerate fully or both. I would've bought the G29 but it was too pricey compared to the T80 and I realized why it costed so less later on. The T80's all plastic design was just disappointing with a bit of low quality rubber at the places u normally hold the wheel i.e, 3 o clock and 9 o clock. And, no force feedback and all the fancy shmansy buttons and the list would go on. Point is, buy the right sim wheel, not the cheapest one. Hope u learnt something!

Man, I have such fond memories of my G25. It finally bit the bullet after almost 15 years of loyal service from the time I was a boy to a real adult with a life and responsibilities. It's amazing that the same fundamental design (with slightly better gearing) still being sold and appreciated to this day.

[@liamclancy9955]

Just in case anybody needs this, if your wheel won't attach to the table because the table is too thick, you can remove the top of the clamps so it will fit. Just from my personal experience, because I spent months before realising that I could use a normal table that had previously been to thick.

[@GlycerinZ]

I started with the Logi Driving Force GT in 2011. I moved to the G27 in 2015, and that is when I realized what a real wheel is; I saw that this wheel needed a mount setup. I then bought a G29 in 2019 and got a mount for it. It's friggin awesome

[@wotever99ninynine]

6:05 i built a full wheel stand with diy handbrake, and yet i have never gotten around to making a plywood platform for the bottom. would be easy. and i have a router so i could make slides/ slots for adjustment. but i have never felt the need because the carpet gripper has worked so well for me so far. for years. and thats playing lots and lots of dirt rally, aggressive foot action, lol

@@antonesbjornsson pretty much as the1flame said. But instead of an arduino circuit or something to connect the button to the pc (or wiring through my g29 to one of those buttons) I hooked the button up to the terminals for the space bar of an old keyboard.

Nice review. The feeling of the cogs fade in time. I don't feel it anymore with mine. I had the Logitech Driving Force GT for years, even on the PS4 and the G29 is a great weel to begin with.

[@Rotary787B]

I'm still rocking my G27 wheel which i bought back during the PS3 Gran Turismo days and it still works. Been using it on the new PC I built. I recently got a Sim Rig setup with a full aluminum profile rig and a full assortment of Fanatec DD gear with the 3 pedals shifter and handbrake for my living room for use primarily on consoles. Though the immersion factor is much greater with the new setup the old G27 is still quite fun to use on my PC and can be stored away when i'm not using it. I could still highly recommend the Logitech brand I've used their products for many years and they have held up thru years without issue.

[@ThomasNewman1]

I’ve been struggling trying to figure out which wheel to buy, and this one locked me in. Thank you for the great review!

TM is apparently famous for dying belts, which Logitech doesn't use. Unless you're lashing out on direct drive, the G29 is a great pace to start.

[@Evo247.]

MaxPwr_FPV Considering I’ve used my T300RS for drifting for over 3 years and haven’t experienced an issue after turning on Forced Cooling mode, I find that hard to believe. I also use it for hours straight, so it all depends on your room’s ventilation and how strong you set your FFB at. Mind you, I usually use decent FFB

[@talon1706]

The G29 has served me well for years. My G27 is still in use on my Son's machine. I don't see any need to upgrade to a more expensive wheel. For casual racing and Trucking sims it does the job very well.

I've been using a £40 DFGT for the past 2 and a half years and think it's brilliant. I'll probably upgrade at some point though as I kinda want a clutch pedal and h-shifter

[@foulplay99]

The difference in noise levels and FFB strength is great when you upgrade to the G29 from the DFGT, the G29 is a really noticeable improvement, and the pedals feel much better. The DFGT for me was an an absolute bargain and amazing re-entry though (my first wheel was the old Microsoft FFB wheel which cost me about £200).
