    I'm currently still using one with my Playseat Challange seat. It's a great living room setup that you can build up and remove quickly. I also just bought the shifter and an adapter for the playseat to have a stick shift for older cars or rally racing. But after some hundred hours of playing Gran Turismo, F1, WRC etc. on the Playstation the belt slowly gets annoying. The rattling just doesn't feel good and the settings differ highly from game to game. It's perfectly finetuned for GT sport and GT7, but in other games it's really hard to find the right settings.
    So now I'm playing with the idea of upgrading to a DD wheel. The CSL DD seems an obvious choice, but I've heard that the build quality is even lower than on the G29.
    Than there is the TM TGT2, but shelling out 700€ for belt-driven system still feels odd.
    Than there is the new Logitech DD set, but it's again very expensive, but lacks the ability to swap out your wheel. Like havibg one for GT and one for F1 would be great for this pricerange.
    Moza seems interesting, but I haven't heard much of it yet and I don't know how the support on PS5 is for that.
    Any recommendations for a 700-ish price range?

    I'm just looking to race casually on FH5 and AC and so I bought a used setup with shifter and stand included for $200. At that price and everything included, it's worth it. I'm planning to tweak it a bit by removing the little rubber block in the brake pedal because I feel that the travel is too shallow, doing the M3 screw mod in the shifter to make it feel more tactile and less like a toy, and thinking of 3D printing the H shifter magnet mechanism and shift knob, total cost less than $20.

    I think DD wheels are at a price point where they make way more sense now. And DD wheels are a far better experience than the G29 or 920. The force feedback on a DD wheel is amazing compared to the gear driven G29/920. I went with the Moza R5 bundle and couldn't be happier. Night and day experience compared to the G29/920.

    you can modify the brake pedal to make the "stiff" portion of the travel much longer, making it feel much closer to an actual brake. you will have to press the pedal significantly harder however, so make sure you have the pedals secured well. i bought my g29 for 230 refurbished about two years ago and its stood up well so far. make of that what you will.

    I own one so im biased but id say yes. Its probably the best starter wheel and its regularly on heavy discount at sale times (black Friday and prime day in the uk mainly). Its compatible with consoles which is important for a starter wheel since users are most likely to either only have or want to use a comsole. Definitely a safe move to try out simracing before you go whole hog and put the money down for like an csl dd or something.

      You do know that if you buy the GT DD Pro wheelbase, you can attach any Fanatec wheel. You don’t have to buy the gt wheel. Just get the Ps5 comparable wheelbase and buy what wheel you want. Oh yeh it’s a bit costly but this is how I’m looking at it, for myself, I love sim racing and am happy to pour money into it. So £600 for gt dd pro 8Nm is going to last years and wil in the end be great value.

    I've had my g920 since the summer of 2020 and it served me well. I only noticed its ware this time last year when the wheel itself started to feel quite loose and now I can easily move it up down side to side with minimal input. The pedals always felt meh but they got the job done. It's so damn loud and feels clunky and cheap as a result. Now I'm moving onto the Moza r12 dd, Moza GS GT wheel, and Fanatec’s CSL Elite Pedals and can't wait to compare my experience.

    I'm in brazil. Setups better than a logith like a belt cost at least 2 times more, and a direct drive 5-10 times more expensive. So I started 1 year ago with a logitech 923, basic cockpit and some simple mods(inverted breakes, unite brake and clutch, magnetic shift and sequencial gear). This whole setup is cheapper than a cheap direct drive wheel , so I think the cost-benefit of a logitech is still good in some parts of the world.

    I bought the G29 last week and I am very happy with it. As it's my first wheel I didn't want to overspend, because DD wheels are very expensive in my country (Poland). I got G29 for 250$, when T300 is around 450-500$ and Moza R5 is like 800$. The choice was obvious, but for its price the old Logitech is still a solid choice for begginners I believe. Also - they are known for its reliability.

    I've recently gotten interested in sim racing again and I'm still running an ancient Logitech G27. Honestly, a lot of the G29/G920 is basically the same, even the newer Logitech H-shifter still works mostly and connects to the same port in the wheel base (I had to replace my old G27 shifter years back from a break). I think the main thing about this racing wheel is that it's just a really solid, affordable package in a lot regions where higher end sim racing equipment is just a bit too expensive. I've got my money dedicated to other hobbies so upgrading the wheel and/or pedals isn't a high priority, and I think for a lot of people who are new and unsure, or don't plan to invest as much time and money into this hobby, would get a lot out of the Logitech wheel.

    I got the g29 with shifter for about €240 back when the first lockdown started in 2020 and still haven’t upgraded yet.
    Since it’s good enough and the first thing to be upgraded is the way I mount it.
    I’m moving out of my parents house this summer and I’m getting a whole room to fill with game gear. So I’ll get a sim cockpit but they’re expensive so I’ll try to build my own one probably.
    This is because I also play allot of farming simulator and want a good place for the joystick I’m planning on buying.

    So, any upgrade on that wheel should be great.

  • @HotSkorpion
    @HotSkorpion 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    For full price, not really. But it is often found at under 250€ new. And for that price, it's unbeatable. Also, this rhetoric that DD's are so cheap now that the Logi and T300 are just not worth it anymore is simply not true. You need to consider that DD bundles dont come with clutch pedals and rarely come with desk mounting clamps, so you'd need to buy those separately and have either a very sturdy desk or very rigid wheel stand. Mounting a DD to a normal ikea desk is just not a good idea. Also, a Fanatec shifter costs almost as much as an entire g29 on sale. And because of course noone in their right mind will pair a Logi shifter with a Fanatec or Moza R5, The cheapest acceptable option is a TH8A, and that is 150€ alone on that, maybe the new TH8S at 70€. So there's additional cost already. And remember that people that are looking at the level of a G29 or a T300 are usually looking for something to mount and dismount fairly easy, and for something that is RTR without much faffing about. So can we stop misleading people into DD's without looking at the bigger picture and not just the price tag of two completely different offers?

    So a seat and decent quality wheel like this to get me started, seems reasonable. I can always resell it later, hopefully for about as much as I bought it. I will look at it as a free loan, if I decide to upgrade in the future. :) Or if I end up not getting into racing at all, and it just ends up gathering dust..

A Moza R5 with pedals are around 6.000. R9 base and wheels No pedals, around 9.000. So I guess other brands have a looooong way to go before they can be a good deal over a G29 around here.

    but it's going to be used 2 hours a day max,sometimes not for 5-6 months because i need to set up the wheel,pedals and then play for 1-2 hours because i will be tired from work and what's the point in spending 600+ euros on something i use 10 times a year

      "Just a little more" is a slippery slope. That is the justification used by addicts. Look at Fanatec: basic DD and wheel is $450 here, then if you go DD 8 NM and a "slightly" better wheel, you're into $700 - nearly double the cost. That ignores the stupid mandatory extras you must buy such as the QR2, then a desk mount. $800. I don't care what anyone says - that is NOT "entry level".
