Everything you need to know about the older G920/G29 - • Logitech G920 / G29 Un...
The Logitech G923 Trueforce Sim Racing Wheel was announced and launched in August of 2020 just in time for the the next gen Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X and S consoles. Both this new wheel and the previous gen wheels will be supported on the new consoles. The G923 is of course also supported on PC. Here's my Unboxing & Detailed Review of the wheel and pedals
The biggest change to this wheel is the new Trueforce Force Feedback system. This is stacked on top of the features from the last gen which has been considered one of the best entry-level wheels on the market for the Price.
Trueforce allows simulation and audio engine data to be sent directly to the wheel for it to interpret and deliver to your hands. This means less canned effects and hopefully an easier integration for studios developing games with Trueforce SDK support.
Logitech also added some hardware upgrades to support this extra information from the SDK. Upgraded Motor Drivers, a faster polling rate, upgraded faster microcontroller and finally new firmware wrap up the hardware changes.
All of this comes together to deliver vibrotactile and kinesthetic FFB like engine notes, clunks from shifting and information about the car platform.
A new feature to the wheel is a new Dual Clutch launching mode which helps with standing starts. The Xbox version of the wheel has been improved with an increased number of inputs (from 15 to 20) as well as the addition of LED RPM gauges as seen on the PlayStation version of the wheel.

Seriously your analysis has been the best I’ve seen for the G923. You are very adept at explaining what makes it work and the benefits and drawbacks. Looking forward to your next video. 👌
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad you found it informative.
I put a lot of time and effort into videos. So it's very motivating to hear someone found it helpful!
@@BallisticTech I have a G923 and next level cockpit also the shifter unopened. I want to do an unboxing from the perspective of a total noob lol. Any recommendations for that?
@@Kraaken_1 Good luck with that...
I got my first wheel yesterday at the age of 40 idk how people use these wheels, i guess it takes getting use to. I am having the most trouble with the brake it is so hard to push it all the way down, also i think my cockpit isn't the best.
@@yautjayarrington1732 Good luck, the main goal is to have some fun... :)
Ayyye Logitech.... He just sold me your wheel. First person that was able to articulate Truforce and the key differences between this and the previous generation. Well done man.
Finally found a video that explains everything I was looking for before buying my first wheel. Amazing.
Some advice , we all start with a logitech wheel , but end up with thrusrmaster or fanatec , I kinda wish I got thrustmaster straight away , you will find that youll want a GT3 type wheel or the sparco wheel etc and the thrustmaster wheel price is great for adding wheels on a payday and Logitech is quite limited to some only only mods you can buy and fanatec is more for bragging rights unless your a pro sim driver ...but thrustmaster is about to release a full fledged f1 wheel with carbon fibre and LCD display! .its a great wheel (G920 to G923 ) either way mate 👍
@@Skippy-id9yt iv tried multiple wheels of every brand and I use the logitech because it's unbreakable 😂
@@Fizzglg hmm that’s strange, to me Logitech feels like a toy, the rattling ffb, gear slipping it’s unbearable to me. I had a g29 for 2 years now and I could never play for long periods cos I would be disappointed with the way ffb is done. You get the geary feel when turning, ffb is not smooth. I’m getting a csl dd soon so hopefully that will be me set for 5+ years.
@@bayernsa you probably had a lemon lmao my friend has a fantec podium 2 and my logitech doesn't bother me
same here, can get these at a really good price here too (standard listings are around R10k, one of our pc e commerce sites here has them at R7k with free shipping nation wide)
you put so much effort into your reviews and videos you definetly deserve more views
Best review I’ve seen of this wheel, a nicely nuanced presentation of how it differs from the older Logitech wheels. I just subscribed in hopes you’ll be doing more sim hardware reviews and comparisons.
Best review seen so far for g923.
Thank You!!!
Just got my g923 and shifter , been enjoying it so far! Thanks for the very thorough review!
Oh nice. Glad you are enjoying it. We sometimes put so much pressure on ourselves to pick the best or find the best deal we lose site of the goal of having fun with our tech. Happy driving!
Can u use it on the xbox one s?
@@Makashimta Yes. Xbox One, One S and One X. As well as Series X and Series S
@@BallisticTech thankyou!
I got a g923 with shifter and stand for $275
The quality of your video is next level, excellent work!
Thanks for watching. It's always really good to know someone is finding my videos informative.
Pretty nice walkthrough!
Perfect review dude 👍 you sold me on it.
Watched the whole thing! really good bro, ty, im defo buying it
Incredibly detailed... 👌 Excellent video...
Thank you so much for such a detailed review and comparison!!! Helped me make the decision between the g29 and g923 for a starter wheel. Definitely going for the g923
love your work. subscribed
Awesome video! What vibration strength and FFB settings in GT Sport would you recommend for the G923?
Thanks sir. Now I will order this G923
I've been thinking about switching from controller to Sim racing wheel But I didn't know which direction I wanted to go.
So thanks for your video my guy it was super super helpful🤙👍
Made it to the end..very informative I'm subscribing to your channel
Awesome. Thank you for watching and subscribing!
Just tried it myself. ACC really makes use of this wheel. Superb! Although, just got my wheel yesterday and I can't stop playing Project Cars. Incredible game. Those are so good they should work out something about licensing and relist. They deserve to be played for years to come.
Nice stuff. Just bought one, should arrive in a week. Can't wait to start racing!
What did it cost?
Gave you a like because us Brian's gotta stick together. Good video though, bought this wheel yesterday, can't wait to try it out
By far best review on the 923. Mine is coming today, and also ordered a Rack for it. I hate waiting. Lol
Thanks for the review.
Thank You My Brotha! Your Expertise ARE 2nd To Nun!!! I Salute You!!
I bought this wheel because of your video man. Great job, everything I wanted to know about it was in here. Keep up the great content, I will be subbing to help push your content to more people
Your videos are absolutely fantastic, I watched your video on the logitech g29 that has really helped me for Christmas this year keep it up!
Great video!!
Love your setup i might get a g920
Thanks for watching. Yeah the if the G920 seems like the right wheel for you that's great. It's why Logitech is still offering the G29/G920 as well as the G923.
You have choice!
Thank you for a great review. If I go from DFGT wheel to G923, will it be a very good and noticeable change in the experience? Thanks.
Great video, really informative thanks, im having issues with my g923 for PlayStation, it worked great then the 2pin plug got disconnected from the power pack whilst in use and I reconnected, the true force just disappeared, the life went out of the wheel if you will, I ended up sending it back and got a replacement wheel but the replacement wheel is exactly the same, I can’t figure out other than potential patches or software changes what could be causing it? Checked all in game menus there set to how they were, recalibrated wheel, 🤔 So now when driving in a streight line in GTsport for example there’s nothing, you only feel pull and play in the wheel when cornering and going over road edges or hitting a wall, all other feedback seems to have disappeared, ghub seems to be only applicable if your using wheel on pc and currently no pc, it’s got me stumped, any info you may have would be great to hear, thanks 👍 Keep up good work
Hi, just ordered this wheel because of your review. It really helped me make the decision and answered all the questions I had regarding this wheel.
Any update?
Excellent review! Thank you for being so thorough. Just ordered g923 to use with ACC on pc. Can't wait
How's it going with the g923 thanks
finnaly i have found a detailed review
took me long enough
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found it informative!
to everyone looking forward to buying this thing, This is an awesome product dont worry about the table clamps the are lile glued to the table and the pedals feel amazing the only thing is that the vibration can make some noice but thats it
What was the chair you was using in the video, I've just got the g923 true force wheel and a racing stand, with wheel tray, wonder if that chair is good enough for driving, thank you
Thank you I just bought the G923 Sunday was using T150. I'm still learning. Just sign up Jan 9 2021 for Iracing. I'm learning a lot . im learning too of this true force you explain it good. Thank you Is there any setting I need to know of this wheel. Like I was saying I'm new to Iracing.
I've just got a G923, perfectly adequate to use by any driver at any standard...
Are the two extra buttons on the PlayStation version remapable for PC? So that I can use them in games for what ever i want?
thanks man, this was the most detailed and helpful review i could find anywhere. This helped me finally decide whether to buy the g920 or to shoot for the g923. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Really glad you found the video helpful! Happy racing!
100% geting one now thank you :)
Bruh imagine playing on a playstation
Finally someone who doesn't hate Logitech makes a good video for this steering wheel
This is very informative, useful and somewhat emotional video! Your expressions regarding how doe the wheel feel in-game almost made me "feel" it too! Even though I don't have a wheel yet xD
I'm only planning to buy my first wheel, and G923 seems to be a decent and reliable choice (I want to try out Dirt Rally 2.0, Forza Motorsport 7, Dirt 4 and GT 7 in future)! Thank you for your video!
Very good your review. G923 for Xbox is as good as ever. Could you say how or where can I find information to adapt a hand brake you mentioned? Thanks
the best detailed video about something
Logitech would have also dont know that much about their steering wheel I think
I tried to adjust the vibration setting and nothing happened. Anyone knows what is wrong or how to increase the force feedback and true force?
Nice! I'm considering getting a racing wheel whenever Gran Turismo for PS5 comes out
Is this plug and play on Steam for PC or would I have to do something on Steam to make it work??
This going to be your main wheel?
I’ve been going back and forth between this or spending more money I don’t want to on a more expensive wheel. I know this wheel isn’t perfect but you’re the first reviewer that has actually reviews this based on its merits and not just immediately said it sucked cause it’s not a direct drive wheel. You sold me on this wheel. Thanks!
Glad you found the video helpful. Like you said the wheel has its flaws. Not much of an upgrade path or ecosystem. Pretty old gear FFB system.
Trueforce is probably nowhere as good on this wheel as it is on the new Logitech DD. But this is a full wheel and pedals set for as low as like $350 but usually closer to $400.
If you don't think the trueforce is worth it then there's still the less expensive g29/g920.
But overall I think the wheel is more than good enough to have a lot of fun racing.
@@BallisticTech THANK YOU! This is one of the main reasons why i recently got this wheel! Its so much fun so far! Need more time with it though..
@@wolfboy20 Enjoy your wheel and races man! Have as much fun as you can with it. If/When you start to outgrow it you can start looking at upgrades. But this wheel can take you pretty far/deep into the Sim Racing world.
@@BallisticTech Thank you so much!! & What kind of upgrades? Fanatec?
Congrats on the new wheel setup! I’ll be picking it up for my launch day PS5 and gaming PC.
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions please let me know!
Don’t spend that much on a Logitech man. That price tag just doesn’t add up for what it is. If you can find one for like 200$ that would be a reasonable price.
@@jmurr357 I’m kinda leaning towards Fanatec CL bundle.
@@princegroove that’s what I have now. Spend the extra 200$ you’ll thank yourself. And I mean I understand not everyone has the extra 200$. But if you can come up with 400$ you can have some patience and come up with another 200 for a far superior wheel. Even the belt driven t300-500 are way better then this “new” Logitech, and theyre 10 years old lol. Logitech just took a old ass wheel slapped a new name on it and re selling it 😂
@@princegroove I got the CSL elite ps4. It’s not the best but damn is it good
thank for the video it helped me a lot, I need a new wheeel and I think I will go for the 923
Go ahead, its the new model 2020 so ready for nextgen
One more comment: I definitely agree with you about the G920 brake pedal. It’s not a load cell, but I think it’s pretty good for what it costs. Have you tried the old pedal with the new wheel? Might have to apply the curve in-game, but maybe it’d be a good combination.
So should I get the g923 or the t300rs gt..
Outstanding video! Very helpful in trying to decide between a G923 and an entry level Fanatec.
Fair winds and following seas to all.
Thank you for watching and commenting. It's great to hear you found the video informative. Helping people make an informed buying decision is definitely my biggest goal.
I unfortunately haven't used much Fanatec gear. Especially not for extended periods. I've reached out to both Thrustmaster and Fanatec and requested to review some of their products but as my channel is small and stock is limited I don't think it's too likely. But fingers crossed.
As for Fanatec VS G923. The biggest bonus for Fanatec is the ecosystem IMO. It's of course higher quality gear and also more expensive. But it gives you multiple upgrade paths with 3/4 different wheel bases (CSL, Clubsport, DD1 and DD2) and a wide variety of wheel Rims. There's also the Universal Hub which let's you use a custom wheel rim and configure things yourself.
If you're on PC you can use different brand pedals and shifters with a wheel like the G923. A lot of ppl say one of the most important upgrades is pedals as braking will help improve your lap time the most.
Better or different force feedback can help maximize your potential but also diminished returns in terms of being faster. Immersion and comfort is important too.
Price is definitely going to be one of the biggest factors. I think the least expensive Fanatec bundle for wheel & pedals is the CSL Elite PS4 Bundle which is $550-600 USD.
So I think a good question to ask is do you intend to really delve deep into sim racing? Is it going to be a bit of a casual pass-time? Or a hobby you'll put a lot of hours into?
Do you think you'll eventually want to upgrade past the G923 and end up with Fanatec gear anyways? Is it worth it to you to save a while longer or allocate more budget to be in a higher tier of gear that opens up the bigger ecosystem?
For some people their budget is their budget. And saving more isn't an option.
A common upgrade path from the Logitech wheels on PC seems to be: 1st Better pedals (Thrustmaster T-LCM, Fanatec CSL Elite LC, or Fanatec Clubsport V3), followed by upgrading the wheel base.
Also thank you for you service!
@@BallisticTech you do such a good job at communicating, if you worked for me, I would give you a 3 day pass. Ooorah!
I've always been a PC racer. Started with a Red Momo Force, then a G25 that died right after the warranty expired. Switched to a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick for steering and the G25 pedals. The last game that worked for me with that configuration was NFS Shift 2. I had a blast running the EA sponsored Hot Lap Series for Shift and Shift 2.
I'm looking to get back into racing as a hobby. From what I've seen, there is a marked difference between the FFB feel of the G923 and a Fanatec CS Elite belt drive. I wonder if the Fanatec pedals without a load cell are comparable to the G923 pedals with the progressive spring.
I've had both. Buy Fanatec. It's seriously not even close and anybody who has used both will tell you that. The added strength and belt drive add a night and day difference. Yeah, it's more expensive but easily worth it. So much more immersive and easier to determine the limits of the tires as the strength can dynamically move as move up and down as you push more or less G's (not to mention this makes things like S turns so much more fun!). Logitech's strength is binary. It is either softly pulling in one direction or it's not. I can't overstate how much difference this adds to the experience. After using Fanatec wheels, I honestly don't think I'd even pay $100 for any of Logitech's wheels. I race for a couple hours each night and am addicted to iRacing. Had just a Logitech wheel at my brother's house for a bit and I couldn't even bring myself to play it was such an extreme step down. Ended up buying A CSW 2.5 for his house over the holidays and I'm back to playing every night again. If you have the means, step up to a wheel with at least 6nm of force (CSL Elite is probably the best value), you won't regret it.
Honestly should I return the g29 wheel and spring the xtra 100 dollars to get the g923 is it worth the 100 dollars I went with the g29 to go with my playstation 5 and Gran Turismo 7 what are your thoughts here now in 03/2022 I would have to return the g29 and re order a g923 from best buy and wait for it to get shipped so yeah that's always tough waiting on
good review 👍
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Hi I’m back again after a week.
On my other comment you said what sort of content I’d like to see well can you do some f1 gameplay on either asseto corsa or f1 2019/20. Also asseto corsa compotezione that be fun anyway thx for the content keep it up 👍
I'll make sure I include some F1 games for sure. For this I tried to focus on Trueforce enabled titles.
As for Asseto Corsa I mainly play ACC now. I have AC but don't play it much. But for the sake of testing I'll try to include it.
Can you do a review of these hepatics against the TGT-II's inducer on or off in GT7, or compare the T500 against the TGT-II speed wise
Works on Xbox one series x and ps4 and Ps5 doesn’t it?
You are the only reviewer that ive seen that doesnt completely trash on this wheel. Everyone else says "oh yeah this wheel is just a re skin and its cheap and the g29 is wayyy better." Or "this doesnt compare to my fanatec"
Thanks for watching. It is what it was. And it's not what a lot of people wanted to see from Logitech. But is still want to talk about it's merit and some of its short comings. I don't want to trash a product b/c it's what ppl want to hear. I just want to give ppl info so they can decide
I've since used the Thrustmaster T300, Fanatec CSL Elite and VRS DFP.
I'll say that True force does add something to the experience but it's not for everyone and still isn't supported in a lot of games.
Generally a more expensive wheel base will be a better experience. But I don't think that's news to anyone.
Truth is, the FFB is crap in some games without settings and fine tune. Maybe that's why. People love plug and play.
is it better than T300?
Does anybody how to enable the wheel lights, I have had my g923 for over 4 months now and I can't find a way to turn them on, I have even tried fanaleds but it does not show up in the hardware tab. If you know how please help me I really want to play f1 2019 with the rev lights on.
I just got a brand new g923 for $280usd and gt lite and playing gt7 with ps5 on lg cx is omg for real crazy fun. As the gt lite is quite a lite duty cockpit the vibrations of the true force go through the whole seat. My first wheel and I dont see me upgrading and time soon this is more than enough
Question if you could pick which should i get the g920 with the shifter for 300 or the g923 for 480 usd i am just getting my first racing sim wheel but i am going to stick with one for atleast 5 ish years
For god's sake do not pay $480 for the g923! I bought it and a Fanatec CSL Elite starter kit for about $100 more (was even the same price as the G923 during the Black Friday sale) to se which one I liked more. I could not believe how big of a difference there was! And that's not even taking into consideration how many more options for wheels, shifters, brakes etc. there is in the Fanatec eco-system. After using the Fanatec, I seriously don't think I'd even pay $100 for the G923 and I'd easily pay $800 for CSL Elite. That is how big of a difference there is between the wheels and brakes despite being somewhat similar in price. I am a Logitech fanboi for most things but their wheels that are a rip-off. If for some crazy reason you can't save up for a fanatec buy a cheap G29 and a buttkicker. The butt kicker will do the same thing as "true force" but much better. Actually, I just read your last part about wanting it for 5 years. Get a Fanatec. No question. You don't want to be stuck with a Logitech for 5 years.
whats the different beetwen g923 and g29
can it be used on pc?
I don't have a wheel and I had doubts if it is worth. I HAD it, not anymore. Thank you for the clear and detailed explanation.
Thank you for watching. I try to provide as much information as possible!
@@BallisticTech thank you again. I'm waiting if arrive to begin my SIM life \o/
How does this compare to the g27? that was my sim wheel of choice until I sold it a couple months ago.
I will say G27 is better. Better built quality, buttons on shifter, more compatibility with old games and any game.
Is it smooth bro?
hey! so ibought the wheel after watching your video. I have used it for the past week, and tried the trueforce on asseto corsa competizione, and it doesnt feell thata powerfull. I mean in your video you talk about how you can feel that the wheels have dirt in them after hitting the grable, but i cant feel any of that, i can only feel the vibration due to the motor, should i be concerned that the wheel is broken?
I was able to feel more road and curb effects after turning the gain in ACC up much higher. Doing so does make the wheel much louder. You may also have different settings for the road effects and dampening.
The version of the game I was playing on was quite a bit older. There's been multiple patches including FFB changes.
Lastly FFB I'd VERY subjective. What feels great and clear to one person might feel terrible and barely noticeable to another.
nice intro mate
Cheers. Thanks for watching!
i havent owned a wheel since xbox 360 days which was a cheap $60 wheel but i just ordered this for my xsx i cant wait !
i just bought the logitech steering wheel, doea anybody know why it does not work on my nascar game
Are the brake pedals the same in terms of force need to press? I tried the G920 before and the brake was super hard to press down because of the rubber stopper in the pedal assembly. Tried the F1 2020 game and would press the brake and would barely stop. Just wondering how far down the brake pedal can be pressed.
I go into pretty good detail around 14:24. With any pedal you can calibrate it with drivers or in game so the farthest you're able to press down the pedal will equate to 100% braking.
Man, I have a G920 and was suffering with the brake pedal with all racing games (Forza, ACC, PC, F1, etc). I took off the little rubber from the brake pedal and my experience has changed for the better, no more knee pain, stable driving and more consistent with lap times. Even though ballistic tech does not recommend taking it off (but replacing with softer rubber), try it out... It is a game changer.
Just got mine for $240. Cant wait for it to get here.
Wow that seems like a good price. Where'd you pick it up from?
Got mine with shifter and stand for $275
If you have an old G29/G920 or G27 or G25 you can open it up and add fresh lithium grease to the gear mechanism. It will make it feel brand new again and more quiet.
My experience don't have trueforce up full blast it causes the wheel to pull to one side 25 is about as much as you need
I took out the rubber stopper, but then I just ended up using the clutch as brake anyways since f1 uses the paddles with no clutch.(G920) Not sure if this was smart workaround but its what I got cuz that brake with the rubber in, renders the entire pedal system unusable without actually mounting it to something.
It was really interesting feedback and now I want to buy that. But which one to choose when Im just computer guy? PS and PC or Xbox and PC?
I primarily play on PC and got the Playstation Version. The Playstation version has 2 more buttons. And I would like to play the new Gran Turismo soon.
Most of the Xbox exclusive racing games like Forza will also be on PC.
@@BallisticTech Okay. Thank You for the answer :D
New sub now I just bought mines from Best Buy just thinking to returning but I'm keeping it now thanks for the information
Thanks for watching! Glad you found the video informative.
Nice
I've got a Xbox Series X Your explanation has made my decision I'm getting a 923 for Forza Motorsports and ASC
Great info...✌🇵🇷
ive got no lights showing in the middle when in game , is this ok?
Only certain games support it. Functionality will be even more limited on the Xbox version when playing console because the G920 never had shift lights, so developers would not have implemented it. That being said, some may have updated their games to do so. I went with the PlayStation version this time because I have Dirt Rally and GT Sport On PSVR.
I'm used to these videos cause I watch gamers Nexus and Hardware unboxed.
Well first thanks for watching! Second, thanks for mentioning me alongside those channels!
I´d love for them to drop the damn geardriven and switch to belt driven at least for a bit more of smoothness and bit more of torque... the extra tech is very good but the rattling, to me, is unsettling.But Awsome review, well explained and covered every aspect of the product i honestly think there is nothing else to be said after this review. pristine job, mate.
For this gen it seems like iteration was there goal. Which it has been for quite a while now. They are putting focus into eSports but a lot of it is still in the entry-level.
Hopefully if the interest in Sim Racing continues to grow they'll see the necessary potential market to expand their products and do some major changes.
Does the Magnetic Shifter Mod for the G29 & 920 work on the G923 ?
Yes I've used my 3D Printing magnetic mod and it works on the G923. Generally speaking the construction is exactly the same as the previous models so most mods SHOULD work for the G923.
@@BallisticTech Excellent...where's the best place to buy it ...
They need to make a g25 shifter for the g923
And why did they name it g923 when I was told the ps one is named g923 as well I panicked thin I get the ps one
All Logitech pedals and stick shifters are compatible. I have a G27 and both the pedals and shifter work on the G29 as well as the G920. I’m assuming they also work with the latest G923.
G27 shifter works with G29 wheel, but not the buttons on it.
This is for PlayStation and you use it in PC !?
I’m looking for realism….like when I drive on a dirt road I want to feel like i am actually driving on a dirt road. You know what I mean? Anyways is this a good wheel for realism?
Mi devi aiutare, ho appena conprato il g923.... ho notato che appena premo la frizione fa un cigolio tipo uno stridulo....dovrei fare il reso? È normale che stride mentre lo premo?
Auto-translate:
Ciao. Non parlo italiano quindi questo è tradotto.
Il mio pedale della frizione non cigola. Se è abbastanza rumoroso da non poterlo affrontare, forse puoi restituirlo e ottenerne uno che non cigoli.
A volte prodotti come questi possono essere "rotti" e cose come cigolii scompaiono. Se ti senti a tuo agio nello smontare i pedali senza invalidare la garanzia, puoi provare ad aggiungere un po 'di lubrificante come il grasso termico.
I pedali sono costruiti proprio come il G29. Quindi puoi trovare un video di TH-cam che spiega come smontare e rimontare i pedali G29.
In bocca al lupo.
English:
Hello. I don't speak Italian so this is translated.
My clutch pedal doesn't squeak. If it is loud enough that you can't deal with it maybe you can return it and get one that doesn't squeak.
Sometimes products like these can be "broken in" and stuff like squeaks will go away. If you feel comfortable disassembling the pedals without voiding your warranty you can try to add some lubricant like lithium grease.
The pedals are constructed just like the G29. So you can find a youtube video explaining how to disassemble and reassemble the G29 pedals.
Good luck.
@@BallisticTech grazie
Very interesting review, thank you! I think I’ll wait for the black friday to find a G29/G920 for my first wheel at hopefully around 150 € (without shifter) like it happened in the last years.
The G923 is nice but too expensive (375 € here on Amazon) to justify the improvements, it’s the same price as a T300 RS GT which is apparently superior in multiple ways especially the FFB (even if it has no Trueforce, but haven’t tried it I would guess a better FFB without Trueforce is better than a worse FFB with Trueforce), aside from reliability and feeling.
Glad you found the video informative. I'm not here to sell anyone any particular wheel. Providing viewers with the info they need to make the best decision they can is my goal.
Cheers!
@@BallisticTech Well I think you achieved your goal! This video helped me make my mind, and it’s great to have a genuine opinion about like the new brake pedal being a bit worse to you, because of what you explained about the pressure control being more precise. 👌
Got my g923 for 275 with shifter and stand
@@kaoe145 Okay. This comment was 5 months ago though and these were the common prices found at the time. The G923 is 320 € today with shifter on Amazon.fr, and it’s still expensive considering it’s more expensive than the T300RS GT.
7y or something shirt...loved your review vid buddy. ty
"7 Wide" and "Fast In Slow Out" are two of Dan Suzuki's slogans. He's a really cool Sim Racer. Check him out if you haven't already.
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Just got one for xbox and kinda frustasted had to fix the sensitive and all but still its harder than gettinf used of console after so many years of forza with the controler but overal good i guess woulsnt go for a wheel if you really arent ready curiousity woul only lead to temporal hype then you keep it in his box afterwards
G920s brake made me sell the whole wheel . I was forced to use the clutch as a break . I was just unable to break , waaaaaay to hard
same
Really nice quality of content. But you did one major mistake. 10db more means double the volume. 90db is 2x the volume of 80db.
Xbox version gets 5 more inputs but none of them are usable on XBOX :-(
Fast in slow out :-)
Heeey! Thanks for watching and commenting Francis.
I hope you found the video informative.
The leather used in this wheel is real or synthetic?

@@BallisticTech thanx man
@@themixchannel22 No problem. Thanks for watching!
Well made video.
Thanks for watching and commenting Aiden!
@@BallisticTech No problem, it's important to give credit where it is due. It's evident you put a lot of effort into your videos. I wish you the best of luck in 2021 to grow your channel as videogames become more and more popular.
One question: If you have had the opportunity to test the T300 rs, do you think the TrueForce in the G923 is still worth it? Thank you.
@@Aiden-yx9ht that's a great attitude to have l. As a smaller content creator enhancement and interaction isn't just a metric like larger creators. It's extremely motivating.
I got to use the TX for a bit. It's essentially the Xbox version of the 300.
Just talking about the base. The TX is belt driven so it's smoother and has more overall torque. I think the torque isn't that impressive in terms of total strength. But it does provide more dynamic range.
The G923 still has lower torque so if you start to turn up the min force and have the Trueforce on it just has less range to work with.
That's said the trueforce can make up for that. Oddly enough the gear driven system provides the ability to give the engine notes and road effects and curbs. Like Logitech leaned into the noise and chatter ppl hate on their wheels about. And as I mentioned in the video you get the game integration and other benefits of Trueforce.
I've heard guys like Barry from Sim Racing Garage note lower end belt driven wheels have difficulty reproducing kind of high frequency effects like curbs and such. It's hard for belt driven wheels in general. I imagine that's why TM added a transducer to the TGT to give some similar effects as what Trueforce provides.
Using the TX, like the G29, I did note that I had gotten used to the engine notes and extra Trueforce. Are they necessary to drive and be fast? No. But very nice to have.
I think the TX is also overall faster but maybe a bit slower in quick change of direction. I'm terrible at drifting but I tried a bit with both. The TX didn't have to be thrown as much as the G929. But I had a harder time changing direction smoothly with the TX.
So it's a hard call for me. TX obviously has the benefit of a wider ecosystem and upgrade path. Interchangeable wheels, a better shifter. You can get DIY wheels working on them pretty easy. Their new load cell pedals seem nice and I think cam be used with it as well. So those are pretty big benefits for anyone that thinks they'll upgrade down the road. Especially on PC.
So that's not definitive but I hope it provides some points to think about.
Enhancement -> engagement

Well once again I appreciate your reply. I'm looking forward to videos you produce in the future and will check out some of your older ones. I don't usually watch Product Review videos in length, and for what it's worth I had no problem watching this video back-to-back.
As for your reply I think I will end up going with the G923, because I am not looking to upgrade to PC. I just want something I can have in my living room to play GT 7 on the PS5 when it comes out. Maybe once the nostalgia wears off (as I have not tried a wheel before) I could look at selling and upgrading down the line.
At that point hopefully Logitech or TM will have come out with a new wheel that's an upgrade from this one having in mind TrueForce for the PS5. (Waiting for more games to utilize the DualSense controller.) I really think the DualSense's haptic feedback is going to change the industry.
I appreciate the help,
Take care.
