- It's been nearly a decade since the Logitech G29 was released, and although it's still one of the most popular wheels out there but with so many new direct drive wheels coming out at really competitive prices, I'll be exploring if the G29 is still worth it in 2024.

Do YOU think the G29 is still worth it in 2024?
Short answer yeah definitely is there better nicer sure but this will surprise you as an entry level wheel Fantastic video of all the benefits of this wheel tho straight up
Nah! Way too many cheap DD wheels on the market to go buy a crappy, noisy, gear-driven wheel with no detail.
Yep!
@@DarrenMartin-bw8zi that is so true definitely but you can't really find a DD for under 400 so being able to get the wheel pedals and a shifter for the price is good for entry level imo I haven't been able to use a DD either so I'm sure if I had would be more likely to agree with you definitely just my opinion
I've owned my G29 & H pattern shifter for around 5+ years . Bought a wheel stand, made a seat box from wood around the house & a car seat donated by a friend . Have about $400 dollars invested & am not disappointed at all.
One thing I like about the G29 is how compatible it is with most driving, sim racing, casual games. Even new developers tune their games based on this wheel. It even works well with PS5. Other manufacturers might have the advanced direct drive tech but no point if your hardware is not supported in many games.
if your in a 3rd world country then g29 is worth it , the price difference is crazy and you cant even find a different wheel other than the g29
Im really cheap so i was able to find a used g29 for $100. I really wanted to try it out and my work was throwing away a lot of 80/20 and they let me keep it. I built myself a rig for free, i paid $100 for the g29. $45 for the shifter and $60 for a junkyard seat. And i made an ebrake out of a keyboard that was getting thrown away at work, and old rubber mallet handle and some other stuff from the trash at my job. I think if you want to try it out and not spend a ton of money this is the perfect starter wheel. Yes there are nicer wheels but you have to start somewhere.
Had one for 2 years, got it as a gift and had lots of fun and sold it recently for fanatec clubsport v2.5 and thrustmaster tlcm pedals
‘G29’ new subscriber here! Been researching on wheels to get myself my very first soon! Thanks for the informative video!
I'm still using my old G27 to this day and never fail to amaze me and still working perfectly it also did improve my sim experience compare to controller, it's just recently i order direct drive set simply because they have option that more affordable nowadays but still cost twice than my G27.
So my opinion if you just start, not sure about into this hobby and on the tight budget i would say get logitech
The G923 that you gifted me was the best thing I've ever got my hands on. Thank you so much!
'G29'
🤩
g29, still rocking my g29 1 year later and love it. I'm sure the newer DD wheels at this price point feel better but I got mine for black friday deal at like $175 and feel like it was a steal.
Picked up the the G923 during Black Friday and can place in the top 5-10% lap times in Forza as a casual 1 hour a night sim racer. Start with this and after 6 months or a year if you still enjoy racing then upgrade and keep this for a second setup for friends or the kiddos.
I am running Assetto Corsa Competizzione on a Logitech Driving Force GT. I added 3D printed paddle shifters and don’t plan to ‘upgrade’. Those prices are crazy!
I have a G923 for a deal I couldn’t pass up on. Paired it with the Logitech pro pedals and been having a blast with it. Plus my kids play on my rig from time to time so it’s a plus
Still worth it, but there are probably many perfectly good used ones out there that you could get between $100-150. I know ours is 2 years old and still works perfectly, but it is sitting on a shelf because we upgraded to a G Pro DD wheel and pedal set.
Yay can't believe I'm early.... I love your videos, keep up the good work!!
Thanks much appreciated! 🤩
Yes it does, especially with Playseat Challenge combo. Best begginer setup imo
Been using a G29 for 5 months now, big upgrade from my non-force feedback wheel that I used for a year.
I see these used around $100 with pedals I think for that price still hard to beat
G29 - A great review, I have a Logitech G29 for my PS5, although I haven't used it much I agree with the sentiments of the review
The G29 is still a Fantastic Wheel in 2024, for those considering getting a wheel don't be put off it's definitely the best bang for buck you can have you don't need to pay a fortune for other wheels these perform very well with awesome feedback. These days where Games from both PS5 & XBox cost an absolute fortune it's an Awesome Buy providing thousands of hours of play. Highly recommend!
Great video I just wish console wheel base prices were equal to pc wheel bases the face fanatec is charging far more the Playstation compatible wheel bundles for over 700 is sad when the pc prices are around 300 to 500 which is a big difference
If you are on PC, there is absolutely no reason not to go with Cammus C5 bundle which also includes the pedals and on top of that get a desk clamp if you plan to use the wheel on a desk (you probably do if you are considering an entry level wheel). That's $330 total for a DD wheel, pedals and desk clamp. G29/920 are fine if you are on a console.
i used to own the g920 for 2 years through covid and it was the best thing ever. i miss that thing a lot.
What happened to it?
Sold?
@@GeekStreet it broke on its own
@@hydro_man 😭
Yeah I believe so the next one up would be the better choice imo but I have the g29 and am gonna try it out on mud runner this weekend 💯👍
🤙
If you got it complete with the PlayChair for Christmas as a hand me down from your cousin who just upgraded to a Fanatec setup, yes, absolutely worth it.
Another great video bro
Tfs 👍🏼
😍
I went withthe T300 RS for the start and still feel like its superior to the gear driven Logitech. Now im with a Asetek Setup which is in a completely different league, but also way more expensive
Shifter on the left side? You crazy brit 😁
can you review the new pxn v99, yes it uses the same hub as the v10 but it has a new paddles and a bigger wheel. cheers m8
I got my g923 from second hand few months ago for 150euro and bought new shifter for 50. Also bought shifter mods for 10-15euros, making it stiffer and with longer shiftknob. Also aliexpress handbrake for 60euro and i am pretty happy with my setup. For sure, its human nature to want more, and I will upgrade my rig with DD wheel in future mos def, but as a starter - this wheel is great. Probably not for 300 tho when u can buy cammus c5 for simmilar price. Anyway, search for logitech wheels from second hand and you will not regret it.
G29 - I had a G27 then upgraded to the Thrustmaster T300RS around when GT7 released. Not quite ready to make the jump to DD.
Mine is coming in tomorrow, its my first wheel and I cannot wait at all
Unfortunately, in my country I couldn't find any DD wheels, not even a belt wheel like the thrustmaster t300, the only options I had were the g29, g920 or the 923, so I went with the g29, still waiting for it to arrive, but I'm so excited to try it since it'll be my first wheel ! I also can't order them online because it'll way too expensive for me. So I'll just enjoy the g29 as much as I can as long as it works fine
When I got my G29 new it cost me £189 without the shifter and then covid lockdowns happen and the price shot up and I never seen it come down to what it was pre pandemic which is a shame as if you can find this wheel for £200 or less then its worth it as this wheel is basically supported by every game that supports a wheel
Use it as an entry model. Or use it in the console. I think it's well worth it.
In particular, I think Logitech's lack of options is good for beginners as they can feel free to buy other companies' products when they step up.
Does the crew motorfest support force feedback
It’s a fantastic entry wheel to this day. Best bang for the buck. Keep an eye on the Logitech refurbished store. They put the G29 on sale often. I got one a couple of months ago for $129. It arrived all but indistinguishable from a new one, completely packaged like new, without so much as a scuff mark. It’s hard to find well used ones for that price.
I wouldn’t spend any more than that on a wheel and pedal set without making the jump to direct drive. The mid range $300-400, non DD wheels aren’t worth the jump over the G29 for their very modest improvements. Get the G29, and if you get the sim racing bug, put the $300 saved aside toward a direct drive upgrade down the road.
I got lucky I started sim racing a year ago I was given the logitech g29 by a childhood friend and wow it's was amazing few months after I bought my first dd wheel the fanatec gt dd pro and my goodness. But as for the g29 I feel like its a good starter wheel for the weaker force feedback but not at the current price I would try to find a refurbished.
If you want the wheel to work with every driving game Id always go with my G29 alot of the indie drifting games dont reconize the Moza R5 had to swap to a Moza R9 so even more money just to get em to work
Hey man I'm thinking of buying a pxn v10 do you recommend it to me, I watched your review and it was amazing, I watched a few reviews as well but I trust you the most so let me know ur opinion
The PXN v10 is OK nothing amazing I still think the Logitech G29 is much better.
Alright thanks but I'm just getting in to cruise around in assetto, and I know the g29 makes a lot of noise and pxn is a lil more quieter
@@ispectate6462 you'll likely be happier with a moza r5 or even a cammus c3. Very affordable direct drive and it should last you a long time
On PC can you turn the clutch petal into a handbrake ?
I've got the wheel, pedals plus the shifter and with Astro A10 headset for 330 euros in 2022 summer.
2:12 Just get a leather cleaner from any automotive parts store and it can be restored back to brand new.
I love my g923 and would love to have a direct drive but for the price I can't lol
Mine looks so different now due to modding... i love my custom rim.
Maybe in a year or two ill upgrade.
Yup is my first wheel and is definitely still worth it to me
Im planning on getting the G923, ran into too many issues with the PXN V10, sent it back after a couple of days...'G29'
Here in my country this wheel is very popular bec the cost of DD is very high even the cheapest DD models.
just got mine a month ago or so and love it. Planning on keeping this thing for a long time until i can afford a direct drive setup (with sim seat and everything).
The only thing i cant figure out is the rev lights. I have yet to get a single game working with the rev lights on pc
What game are you playing with it?
the dial on the front I found only works good in Gran Turismo games I found as every other game I have tried it in I dont like it and just avoid using it or mapping any controls to it.
you should review the pxn v12
Absolute solid bulletproof beginner wheel
Having owned a couple g29, and even changed the wheel on one, i don't recommend it. Get something cheap with no force feedback, and if you like racing, then get a direct drive. The gear mechanism is loud and not smooth. The most important thing, is having load cell pedals. You can race without force feedback, but you can't race without proper brake inputs. Get a load cell brake and a cheap wheel, and upgrade the wheel later.
Get the g29, only if you find it very cheap used.
Is there much input delay on PS4 with a Logitech G923 and standard Tv. PLEASE help me
my g29 pedals dont work anymore, their cable got destroyed even though i didnt use it for some months ill probably buy a new wheel soon
It seems good for a first timer with a tight budget. I like these reviews how you can revisit an older product and evaluate it from a deep experience perspective. G29 👍like 330👍
I use moza r5 on my ps5 with the ras1lution converter. It works great and it’s so affordable. I use with with VR and it’s ridiculous the amount of feedback and immersion.
So should you recommend this because I’m looking for a direct drive wheel for ps5
@@ransomsdp yes highly recommend. You need the ras1lution adapter though
The brake spring in the g923 pedals is different from the one in g29
What is the best
@@z3ro7o g923 with the progressive spring
is definitely better.
i think im just gonna get a t300rs gt
I think the logitech g29 is a great wheel. with a few modifications and a little money it can improve considerably, for example I modified mine to connect more realistic steering wheels and it works very well. for me it remains the best entry level on the market.
It still is absolutely fine. Of course you can spend thousands for a wheel, and thousands for a high end PC. But both still remain - expensive - toys. I prefer keeping it on a sensible level and still get good performance out of it.
I'm really enjoying my G29
Love you from Sri Lanka beruwala ❤
Bonjour, bonne petite base , solide et fiable (plus de 3000 heures d'utilisation) fonctionne très bien quand il est bien configuré par les jeux, très bon rapport qualité et prix,je recommande au débutant.ideal pour les joueurs de console,plug and play.😻
I don't see the link for the list of games that are compatible with force feedback
My bad, I've added the link to the Logitech G website
@@GeekStreet thanks for getting right to it 💯👍
This is not bad if tge gane gas decent FFB.
Just been running Project Cars 2 with a custom FFB file, and it's not bad at all.
But I'm looking forward to a Moza setup... but that's gonna be over a grand.
So go figure. 😢
The brake springs are changeable aswell
Yeah I did a mods video showing that 👌
@@GeekStreet yeah I was just surprised you didn't give it a tiny mention
Simply take out the rubber stopper, close the air outlet hole of the lower sleeve with a screw and hot glue, place a thin rubber seal in the outer groove of the lower sleeve and grease it well. The air in the sleeve is now compressed when actuated and the brake can be actuated precisely. Cost: 10 cents!!!
And yes, you can still buy a Logitechwheel without hesitation...
Yo pensé que era bait, que la encontraste buena, pero tus argumentos son tan validos como los de cualquiera que esperaba que la franquicia creciera junto a la audiencia y no que siga siendo para niños, que solo fueron fueron espectativas autoimpuestas. Yo la encontre meehh una del monton para pasar el rato
i bought a g923 for 80 bucks brand new he used it 1x. even had the sticker in the middle still on it lol 0 wear on pedals/steering wheel, dude had a baby and had to sell his toys. then i got a playseat for 110dollars evulution pro project cars 3. and i had to buy a shifter myself. for 50 bucks. so i would say i made out a hell of a deal. and i'm happy with it. but a direct drive would have been sicker. but no shoot i would get that for the less then 300 dollars tho :( with pedals/shifter.
so was it ya daft bstd?
I have the g920 and is super cool 😎
Then what must I buy? Cammus C5 or G29 ? (as my first wheel ofc)
C5 no question
Can you give some reasoning? C5 has it's own flaws like bad pedals and no smaller shifter paddles which the G29 does not have.?@@looneyhoonzinc
I bought the G920 back in 2014. This wheel reached 3000 hours of hard sim racing in 2024. Online leagues championships, countless practice laps. It's been a workhorse for 10 years and counting. Sadly i retired from sim racing 3 years ago. And retired my trusty G920 on the shelf collecting dust. I still bringing her down from time to time to do some laps. Thank you G920 for the 10 years of podiums, pole positions, smiles and amazing battles on the track. Farewell.
Highly recommended for anyone starting now. It's a great entry wheel.
We’re you just as fast as the pros with the wheel? I have the g29

hi i am from egypt
I want to buy a steering wheel, which is the best?
I say go for the Logitech G Pro racing wheel
was it then?
I think if you can get it 2nd hand, for cheap, it's definitely worth it!
G29 the best wheel for newbie simracer :)
'G29' tnx for the video, im yet to buy my first racing wheel so i'm just collecting opinions cheers!

Its depends what country you lived ,i got g29 after sale 300 usd ,whell and pedals 😂
What about my 16cm thick table?
It’s what I got
Yes
Im Steel using its wanderful👍💪🇵🇷
Those logitechs are actually toys, all plastic and forcefeedback is weird, you allways wonder if those forces has something to do with the actual game. Had g920 for years and just some time ago bought second hand fanatec and I could never imagine go back to plastic toys.
I really don't like the G29 / G920, mainly because I think it is hurting competition in the entry level segment. I wish new simracers would get a better experience for their 300 dollars.
For that price it should be possible to make something either belt or direct drive that would be so much better to use. The G29 looks alright, but the force feedback is absolutely terrible. Even ignoring the low max force it is loud, rattly, imprecise and slow. That slowness makes it very unrealistic if you are used to driving in real life, especially for drifting.
TL/DR: People should stop buying these so that Logitech is forced to finally ditch that horrible gear driven system and make something that can compete with cheap DD or belt driven wheels.
that wheel is 400USD in Latam... just sayin
I don't have a sim setup to try the sport yet.
I see a delay between the real wheel and on screen. Is that distracting or not?
Can I have a steering wheel since you have so many
I'll be doing competitions for some of them so stay tuned, the current one is for the Cammus C12 details in the review.
Please give me Logitech g pro x headset , i am a huge fan ❤
Cammus C5 has more than 8Nm peak torque and 5Nm holding torque. Fanatec and others producers always declare peak torque so Cammus C5 has more than 8 Nm in the common talking way. C5 cost is so low that the truth is that it destroyed the market of low budget wheels with a stunning 8+Nm direct drive wheel, thinking about a G29 2.x Nm belt driven is a nonsense in 2024. I am surprised this is not so evident here.
I got used one for 115 euros
Direct drive all the way
G920
Para alguien como yo si vale la pena wey soy pobre😢
300 is still too much for a thing like this. Being 9 years old. Yea make a new one and ill pay 300
G29
🤩
No, it absolutely isn't. It's been the same outdated, noisy, rattling gear drive for almost 20 years. It was great when I got a G25 back in 2007, but current technology is way ahead. Even if you buy a weak Moza R3, the driving experience is way beyond compare.
Definitely not
No.... It wasn't worth it five years ago.....
First !!
