@@uberrandompersonThe thing is for just learning to drive a manual and getting the basics down. it can be a good learning tool, especially since it does give you the ability to understand clutch points and in some ways not having a clutch-like feel is a good thing because it means that they have to rely on other feedback like looking at the tachometer and listening for sounds which means that they get then get you set and then they have the added input of getting in a car and failing the clutch power as well. but they have an understanding of what a friction point is now and they have understanding of what happens when you shift wrong. The fact is is that it's a great starting point compared to getting in the manual and fucking up every 5 minutes
I don't have 13k to buy a full-blown racing Sim however I had enough for a Logitech g29 and I've thoroughly enjoyed it I drive on average 8hours a day on that wheel and it's never skipped a beat
The g920 is a perfect budget wheel. You have compatibility with almost every racing game, the FFB is decent to begin in Sim racing and the pedals are way better than the competence of it's price. I remember that my first wheel doesn't even have FFB and it just had 270° of rotation
It’s great and where I got my start and it’s still kicking 3 years later. Also having a solid mounting point like a NLR wheels stand 2.0 or an omega gt was just as game changing as getting direct drive Get good cheap then get good hardware and dominate + I’ve had a few issues with my fanatec stuff. Didn’t send the proper Quick release and a firmware update bricked my pedals. Also the shaft my steering wheels go on can come loose and need to be placed back a re tightened. (But their customer service was helpful through all of it)
That’s my opinion too I don’t want some trash $80 dollar wheel that’s just gonna be disappointing but I sure as shit am not spending 7 to 8 grand to drive cars in a video game
Logitech g920/g29 are probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to entry level racing wheels. If you have a 3d printer you can make it even better.
@@NPCLiam you can print some mods for it. Like my g920 has an f1 style wheel, upgraded the pause, share, RB, and LB button, and converted the paddle shifter magnetic.
This is the same level of "built vs bought" in the real world and not behind simulators. I think its absolutely better to buy something cheap and modify it instead of paying tons of money for something that probably won't even fit most people's style.
You're absolutely right even do I own fanatec gear now I could be very competitive with my g29 it's very good for the price and you can have great fun and be competitive on it
For most people it’s one of the best entry wheels. Later on if you care about getting a better setup you can drop $$$ for that fanatec but for under $200 in the used market it’s hard to beat
Anyone that can be competitive with these wheels should definitely start saving. I was good with my g920 but when I switched it opened a whole new door for me
Changing your brake pedal to a loadcell would likely achieve the most gains and improve consistency more than anything else. It's the lowest hanging fruit to achieve faster consistent laps. The wheel is not so important as most people think in terms of lap times.
@braveheart4603 didn't find this one out until i got loadcell. On the 920 it's like a guessing game for braking. Sometimes it's too hard sometimes its not hard enough. Once I changed just wow. So much difference. And I do agree 100% the wheel isn't that much different but the pedals are night and day
@@marshallpeters1437 I'm just about to get one and can't wait to start leaning to use it. I've loved getting to where i've got with my g920 over the last year but the brake pedal with the loadcell and all the better software to program the pedals input is what i'm most looking forward to. Some cars you need fine control on the brake to get the optimum rotation. I'm looking forward to the smoother feeling of a DD wheel also and being able to feel the force feedback detail.
I started on a g920. It’s super fun for what it is and very good for the price.I have upgraded from there but it’s one of if not the best entry level wheel
I've had my G27 for 10 years and I love it but yes it's dated and the tech isn't there. I would love to get into a dd wheel, but my G27 has a special place in my heart
I've had a G29 since late 2018. Used it for more than 5 years and perfectly did the job. It started getting a bit old tho (drove A LOT with it, smth around 70-80k miles I think), so I've changed it for a Moza R5.
Bro Logitech with some LUT calibration is honestly really good on Assetto in my opinion made my wheel sling back from drifting by itself 🤯it’s now so enjoyable
I’ve still got my G923 even after getting a Fanatec DD and the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race. I hook it up for any of my guests that like to casually race.
Thats logitech for you. They sell almost everything at the right price. I dont think i have came across a logitech product worth less than what it was sold for. Theyre not the best products, but for sure a good brand.
Only problem I had with the G29 were the pedals, I replaced them after a year or so with Asetek Forte pedals. A few months back I tried a Direct drive and ever since then I want to replace my G29. It's great for the price though, you can't expect a $300 wheel + pedal set to come to ranks of Simucube.
Even when I upgraded with a Fanatec and the Turtle Beach V1 Race, I still kept and currently use my G923 (even went out and bought the shifter). The TrueForce gives it a little extra fidelity in the wheel where other entry level wheels don’t. Hands down best budget wheel on the market.
I don’t want beef but no, u can drift with a g920. Like I did for 3 years with a g29 but the wheel is not fast and strong enough to imitate the real way I car do. But a dd yes. With a g29 or g920 you have to help the wheel with lil swing. Anyway sry English is not my first language and it’s hard to explain movement in another language. Peace 😊
@@krypticghxstgaming LOL look at this 🤡 no one cares about forza drifting that shit is easy there is no way you drifting on assets with that shit wheel hahahaha
I have a g920 and it is the perfect wheel. You get all the immersion of a 10k wheel for 300 bucks. It has 900 degrees of rotation, reliable force feedback, compatible with basically every game. It’s plug and play, and it works well with VR. The only problem I see is that to use Logitech pedals or shifter you have to have the wheel as a base. But overall it’s an amazing wheel
The good thing is that because of the Logitech wheels. there's actually quite a lot of mods for both the shifter and pedals to make them really good which in my use doing the mods is actually increase my joy of using the wheel tenfold since the wheel itself feels great and adding the mods has been the shifter and pedals also feel good
I tell alot of times, the simracing snobs are the greatest gatekeepers, complain about everything, talk down to ppl that don´t have high-end expensive sets, talk crap if you point out problems in their favorite sim and attack you if you don´t hold the same opinions. They even do that to real world race drivers lol.
I have a g920 for my set up because I tried it at my buddy’s house and it was one of the coolest experiences ever because I never even seen a sim racing set up irl,so when I saw the price I knew it was the one for how good it felt for the price it was,people think you have to have the newest and most expensive stuff to be competitive,but some people just want to have fun for a affordable price
Logitech steering wheels like the G29, G920, and even the older G27 are fantastic options for most people. They’re reasonably priced at around $550 AUD, especially when you compare it to an elite controller at $250. If you’re moving from an Xbox controller and getting into sim racing, these wheels are a natural next step. They have great modding support from the community, letting you customize your setup. Plus, the lower price point means it’s less risky to mod, making it perfect for those who want to get into the hobby without spending a ton. While they aren’t top-tier like Fanatec, they are still very good and can be competitive, especially with mods. hell that's what I've done. and honestly I actually prefer to some of the lower cost fanatec options since it feels right for me
I also have a G29, and for the price it really isn't bad at all. Honestly, it's made so that the average gamer who might want to try out sim racing can try it out with an affordable option, and he can just set it up on his gaming desk. That's the way I perceive it, and if he/she loves it, you continue upgrading(and regret spending money every upgrade you make). That's what its made for
I also have a g920 and I love it. I’m sure I’d enjoy the extra force feedback a little bit but I don’t know if I’d get a whole extra 2-300 dollars worth of enjoyment to get it. It’s a perfect entry level wheel and I love it and I don’t blame you for loving it either.
Bro it doesn't matter what you have in life as long as you enjoy it you will be fine I grew up in a not so rich family and never got to experience stuff so expensive
Tbf the biggest difference between top-en wheels and cheap ones (meeting the minimum requirement of having force feedback) is that the expensive one gives more realistic feedback and you need less time to be fast with it, like it reduces the time you take from using it from the first time to the moment when you can really be fast on it
Im buying one tomorrow used for only £150 it may not be anything wild but im a student times are tough. Just wanna be able to cruise and race with more immersion than a controller
I got a G923 and I love it! I did get to drive with a direct drive wheel recently and I will say the experience is better and I definitely want one but I’m satisfied until I can afford the direct drive.
5 years of my g29 and she still works the same as when i got her, paid 100 quid recently for loadcell brakes and a fresh potentiometer for the accelerator but other than that, same enjoyment for so long. Its a great device. Would i buy a dd if i could afford it? Yes. Am i not having fun because of that fact? Absolutely not.
Drove 5 years on this wheel before i switched to a DD and it was totaly fine for the money! Im surprised that it even lasted that long (for its build-quality).
Spent 350 on a g920 shifter and pedals, definitely worth the money especially since it taught me how to drive a manual in real life and still race with it to this day

@@uberrandompersonThe thing is for just learning to drive a manual and getting the basics down. it can be a good learning tool, especially since it does give you the ability to understand clutch points and in some ways not having a clutch-like feel is a good thing because it means that they have to rely on other feedback like looking at the tachometer and listening for sounds which means that they get then get you set and then they have the added input of getting in a car and failing the clutch power as well. but they have an understanding of what a friction point is now and they have understanding of what happens when you shift wrong. The fact is is that it's a great starting point compared to getting in the manual and fucking up every 5 minutes
I don't have 13k to buy a full-blown racing Sim however I had enough for a Logitech g29 and I've thoroughly enjoyed it I drive on average 8hours a day on that wheel and it's never skipped a beat
too fuckin much
@@falco6414 what you mean the amount of hours I spend on it or the money I spent haha
@@djpuglife2230 hours
brother i will drift for 2h straight but 8h thats too much..
@@falco6414 I've literally clocked up easy 1000hrs on gt7 most of those hours are racing
@@djpuglife2230 professional racist i see..
The g920 is a perfect budget wheel. You have compatibility with almost every racing game, the FFB is decent to begin in Sim racing and the pedals are way better than the competence of it's price.
I remember that my first wheel doesn't even have FFB and it just had 270° of rotation
It’s great and where I got my start and it’s still kicking 3 years later.
Also having a solid mounting point like a NLR wheels stand 2.0 or an omega gt was just as game changing as getting direct drive
Get good cheap then get good hardware and dominate
+ I’ve had a few issues with my fanatec stuff.
Didn’t send the proper Quick release and a firmware update bricked my pedals. Also the shaft my steering wheels go on can come loose and need to be placed back a re tightened. (But their customer service was helpful through all of it)
Yup I have this wheel and it's perfect for me. Don't need to spend crazy money.
That’s my opinion too I don’t want some trash $80 dollar wheel that’s just gonna be disappointing but I sure as shit am not spending 7 to 8 grand to drive cars in a video game
Logitech comin in clutch 🎮🛥️
Literally. Some companies do not include the clutch.
Still have a driving force pro from like 2005, still works. Logitech ftw
Probably the best value entry-level wheel you can get
Logitech g920/g29 are probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to entry level racing wheels. If you have a 3d printer you can make it even better.
3D Printer??? Ooh what for?
@@NPCLiam you can print some mods for it. Like my g920 has an f1 style wheel, upgraded the pause, share, RB, and LB button, and converted the paddle shifter magnetic.
This is the same level of "built vs bought" in the real world and not behind simulators. I think its absolutely better to buy something cheap and modify it instead of paying tons of money for something that probably won't even fit most people's style.
@@royliber3824 Nah. Directly getting a T300/TX is a much better choice than modding the crap out of a G29/G920.
G29 user here btw.
I won a G27 at timetrial race in a local electronics store. It was my first ffb wheel and it served me well for many years.
I got it for Christmas and i love it, i am a beginner and i think it is a super good starter wheel
I started on the g923 and I loved it so much it kept going and through me into the hobby. Now rocking a moza r9 and loving it
I used to use a Logitech g920 and frankly I loved the wheel itself, I just hated the cheap pedals
thats weird because the pedals for that price are probably the best, because they are out of metal
Weird cuz only the gear shifter feels a bit cheap the pedals are metal and feels like VW golf pedals
Ikr the g920 is perfectly fine, I have a g923 it’s not so high end but I’m still having a great time and being competitive
I use my G29 to play Euro truck simulator and asseto corsa, everybody has to start somewhere.
As someone with a G27 it’s doing just fine, I really do really it had more ffb though
You're absolutely right even do I own fanatec gear now I could be very competitive with my g29 it's very good for the price and you can have great fun and be competitive on it
For most people it’s one of the best entry wheels. Later on if you care about getting a better setup you can drop $$$ for that fanatec but for under $200 in the used market it’s hard to beat
Bought my G27 6 years ago or so. Still works fine. It just needs a new leather coat
I bought one last year HAHAHAHA It's the BEST!
Anyone that can be competitive with these wheels should definitely start saving. I was good with my g920 but when I switched it opened a whole new door for me
Changing your brake pedal to a loadcell would likely achieve the most gains and improve consistency more than anything else. It's the lowest hanging fruit to achieve faster consistent laps.
The wheel is not so important as most people think in terms of lap times.
@braveheart4603 didn't find this one out until i got loadcell. On the 920 it's like a guessing game for braking. Sometimes it's too hard sometimes its not hard enough. Once I changed just wow. So much difference. And I do agree 100% the wheel isn't that much different but the pedals are night and day
@@marshallpeters1437 I'm just about to get one and can't wait to start leaning to use it. I've loved getting to where i've got with my g920 over the last year but the brake pedal with the loadcell and all the better software to program the pedals input is what i'm most looking forward to.
Some cars you need fine control on the brake to get the optimum rotation. I'm looking forward to the smoother feeling of a DD wheel also and being able to feel the force feedback detail.
I still have my g27 (with some mods) and i still love it.
I started on a g920. It’s super fun for what it is and very good for the price.I have upgraded from there but it’s one of if not the best entry level wheel
I've had my G27 for 10 years and I love it but yes it's dated and the tech isn't there. I would love to get into a dd wheel, but my G27 has a special place in my heart
Im glad the g920 exists. Saved me a lot of money figuring out that a hobby i thought i would enjoy turned out to not quite be my thing
I have the g920 irl, and it’s hella fun. I got a racing setup for it and I absolutely love it.
Man the Logitech is a great wheel to use
If you dont plan on going full race cockpit mode, i highly suggest getting this wheel
i like how you spoke up for your self
I've had a G29 since late 2018. Used it for more than 5 years and perfectly did the job.
It started getting a bit old tho (drove A LOT with it, smth around 70-80k miles I think), so I've changed it for a Moza R5.
I have a g29 great wheels. Can’t wait for the DD logi wheel
The Pro does look super rad for sure. Stoked for the larger Logitech ecosystem to start showing up as well.
1k bucks
It's not good for it's price
@@peth775 How so? Mine works perfectly.
Bro Logitech with some LUT calibration is honestly really good on Assetto in my opinion made my wheel sling back from drifting by itself 🤯it’s now so enjoyable
The LUT makes so much of a difference it's amazing!
@@NPCLiamwhat is the LUT calibration?
@@flix8743 the one from rasmusP
@@flix8743 Basically a file you import into AC that smooths out all the weird inconsistencies with your FFB making it more consistent.
how can i do that? i'm getting my wheel tomorrow and i want to drift on assetto with it
I’ve still got my G923 even after getting a Fanatec DD and the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race. I hook it up for any of my guests that like to casually race.
I have 40+ wins in 200 starts on iracing because of this wheel. I truly has been a life changing strategy to own this wheel and not the 923
still rocking my G29 til it breaks!!!!!!!
(edit: also who cares what u got as long as you’re having fun that’s all that matters!!)
Thats logitech for you. They sell almost everything at the right price. I dont think i have came across a logitech product worth less than what it was sold for. Theyre not the best products, but for sure a good brand.
When you manage to dodge the QC issues, yeah.
I would say its pretty beautiful
Been using them for over 10 yrs now.first the g25 and then g29..both are great wheels for the price..it’s a great starter bundle
The fact somone says it so bad while he doesn’t have anything💀
Only problem I had with the G29 were the pedals, I replaced them after a year or so with Asetek Forte pedals.
A few months back I tried a Direct drive and ever since then I want to replace my G29.
It's great for the price though, you can't expect a $300 wheel + pedal set to come to ranks of Simucube.
Even when I upgraded with a Fanatec and the Turtle Beach V1 Race, I still kept and currently use my G923 (even went out and bought the shifter). The TrueForce gives it a little extra fidelity in the wheel where other entry level wheels don’t. Hands down best budget wheel on the market.
Facts I have it as well it's actually extremely fun
I have a g25 and i drive better than some ppl on fanatecs😂
@bless4837 He used the word some. Since when having better setup makes you better driver?
true the g920 is good js for drifting need to watch the gas pedal bc after a while it starts to put pressure down on itself little dead zone fixes it
I don’t want beef but no, u can drift with a g920. Like I did for 3 years with a g29 but the wheel is not fast and strong enough to imitate the real way I car do. But a dd yes. With a g29 or g920 you have to help the wheel with lil swing. Anyway sry English is not my first language and it’s hard to explain movement in another language. Peace 😊
@@Brisson.g920 drifter here, top leaderboard 1% on forza drift scores, you absolutely can drift a g920, and ppl who disagree cant drift… 🤷🏾
@@krypticghxstgaming LOL look at this 🤡 no one cares about forza drifting that shit is easy there is no way you drifting on assets with that shit wheel hahahaha
I have a g920 and it is the perfect wheel. You get all the immersion of a 10k wheel for 300 bucks. It has 900 degrees of rotation, reliable force feedback, compatible with basically every game. It’s plug and play, and it works well with VR. The only problem I see is that to use Logitech pedals or shifter you have to have the wheel as a base. But overall it’s an amazing wheel
The good thing is that because of the Logitech wheels. there's actually quite a lot of mods for both the shifter and pedals to make them really good which in my use doing the mods is actually increase my joy of using the wheel tenfold since the wheel itself feels great and adding the mods has been the shifter and pedals also feel good
I have a G29 and now that i jave seen it i cant unsee it: THE FRONT LOOKS LIKE A 2005 MUSTANG
I tell alot of times, the simracing snobs are the greatest gatekeepers, complain about everything, talk down to ppl that don´t have high-end expensive sets, talk crap if you point out problems in their favorite sim and attack you if you don´t hold the same opinions. They even do that to real world race drivers lol.
I have a g920 for my set up because I tried it at my buddy’s house and it was one of the coolest experiences ever because I never even seen a sim racing set up irl,so when I saw the price I knew it was the one for how good it felt for the price it was,people think you have to have the newest and most expensive stuff to be competitive,but some people just want to have fun for a affordable price
I have it as a beginner, now im like advanced and still play on it i love it
Finally found your videos on TH-cam shorts rather than tiktok. Howdy!
Yoooo waddup man! Glad to see you on the YT as well
"Force feedback is not that strong" literally flipped my monitor from the force when it was calibrating
Logitech steering wheels like the G29, G920, and even the older G27 are fantastic options for most people. They’re reasonably priced at around $550 AUD, especially when you compare it to an elite controller at $250. If you’re moving from an Xbox controller and getting into sim racing, these wheels are a natural next step.
They have great modding support from the community, letting you customize your setup. Plus, the lower price point means it’s less risky to mod, making it perfect for those who want to get into the hobby without spending a ton. While they aren’t top-tier like Fanatec, they are still very good and can be competitive, especially with mods. hell that's what I've done. and honestly I actually prefer to some of the lower cost fanatec options since it feels right for me
I also have a G29, and for the price it really isn't bad at all. Honestly, it's made so that the average gamer who might want to try out sim racing can try it out with an affordable option, and he can just set it up on his gaming desk. That's the way I perceive it, and if he/she loves it, you continue upgrading(and regret spending money every upgrade you make). That's what its made for
Moza R9 User here and Ex G29 user and the R9 just improves your feel SO MUCH! But yuh you defo can be competitive with the G29 (Lando Norris)
had fun + decent price = good wheel
Just bought the whole setup for around $250 used on Amazon 😊 can’t wait to use it.
Fr bro..the G920 is so fire..it’s the best on FH4
I’ve raced with that wheel for over 2 years and it works great
I also have a g920 and I love it. I’m sure I’d enjoy the extra force feedback a little bit but I don’t know if I’d get a whole extra 2-300 dollars worth of enjoyment to get it. It’s a perfect entry level wheel and I love it and I don’t blame you for loving it either.
Bro it doesn't matter what you have in life as long as you enjoy it you will be fine I grew up in a not so rich family and never got to experience stuff so expensive
Tbf the biggest difference between top-en wheels and cheap ones (meeting the minimum requirement of having force feedback) is that the expensive one gives more realistic feedback and you need less time to be fast with it, like it reduces the time you take from using it from the first time to the moment when you can really be fast on it
Im buying one tomorrow used for only £150 it may not be anything wild but im a student times are tough. Just wanna be able to cruise and race with more immersion than a controller
I got a G923 and I love it! I did get to drive with a direct drive wheel recently and I will say the experience is better and I definitely want one but I’m satisfied until I can afford the direct drive.
GODAMN THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL SETUP THE WOOD LOOKS SO GOOD BRO
THANK YOU BRO
5 years of my g29 and she still works the same as when i got her, paid 100 quid recently for loadcell brakes and a fresh potentiometer for the accelerator but other than that, same enjoyment for so long. Its a great device. Would i buy a dd if i could afford it? Yes. Am i not having fun because of that fact? Absolutely not.
Im in the top 1% on F1 23 with the logitech G920. You can absolutely be competitive
Drove 5 years on this wheel before i switched to a DD and it was totaly fine for the money!
Im surprised that it even lasted that long (for its build-quality).
I just started simracing a week ago with the same wheel and as a starter im fckng happy with it
Spent 350 on a g920 shifter and pedals, definitely worth the money especially since it taught me how to drive a manual in real life and still race with it to this day
I had the logitech g920 and its an absolute blast!! Espacially when you are a beginner sim racer👌🏻
