I wish I had found the discussion dealing on the Logitech support forum to a serious design flaw before I ordered this wheel. An issue only apparent on the G29 is the cable used to connect the board in the main housing to the wheel. The grade of the cable by design is too thin and over time (sometimes sooner rather than later) due to the 900 degrees of rotation of the wheel - this cable will wear out and the copper wiring will break causing the buttons to engage when rotating the wheel when force feedback kicks in. The result is sometimes other options suddenly engaging while racing/driving etc depending on the button assignments on the wheel. If you can imagine on an online race this can be very frustrating when you suddenly loose control because the handbrake is engaged or the camera view changes. Logitech have no official statement about the issue it seems but there is an excellent forum that shows you exactly what you need to replace: community(dot)logitech(dot)com/s/question/0D531000051059RCAQ Also it may pay to order this from Ebay: JST 2.0 PH 7-Pin Female Connector with Wire ^ I'm waiting for mine to arrive from Hong Kong so be prepared to pay for import tax if you live in Europe etc. Other than this, I love the wheel and once I get the better cables and replace the faulty ones this will be a solid gaming device well worth the money. Definitely recommend getting the H shifter when you get this to complete the immersion!Vollständige Rezension lesen

Decided to buy one after my thrustmaster t300 broken few times. G29 has stronger ffb and not overheating after few laps like t300 and does not reducing ffb strength. But g29 clipping because of its helical gearing and it feels not realistic at all. To remove clipping you need to reduce ffb strength almost to zero and at the end you have weaker ffb than t300 :( Much better pedals than stock t300 and included shifter, all together (3 pedals shifter and the wheel)cost much less than t300 with only 2 pedals without shifter. Tried asseto corsa and gt sport. I don't like how it feels with asseto corsa but it's not to bad with gt sport. T300 any game run perfectly! But I hate overheating and repairs after every couple months (burned power supply, calibration at start up problems, and finally stopping gearing, wheel rotation now stops not at 1080' but around 1200' wich cause not possible calibration) :(Vollständige Rezension lesen

The G29 is made to a price, in China. It is not of the same high build quality as the original G25 or later G27. There is an inherent design flaw relating to the wires connecting the wheel buttons to the main board. Unfortunately the wires are too short. They are of sufficient length when the wheel is not rotated, but with 900 degrees of rotation available the twisting effect on the internal wires shortens the effective usable reach of them (when twisted) and thus puts the wires under way too much torsional stress. The power on self test of the wheel forces complete 900 degree rotation, putting stress on the tightly wound wires that eventually breaks them due to fatigue. If the wires were just a few centimeters longer there would be no issue. If the self test didn't force full rotation every single time it was powered up the wires would likely last a great deal longer too. It is very rare to use full rotation during game play. Anyway, a stupid design oversight has ruined what could have been a good wheel. The multitude of buttons allow much better integration into a game than the previous G25 or G27. The feel of the wheel is superb and the pedals feel slightly better than the original G25, probably just due to spring rates. A repaired/refurbished/etc G29 will likely make a great choice but a new "unfixed" one will break.Vollständige Rezension lesen

I'm really surprised how strong the force feedback is, I actually had to lower it when I firstly tried. This is highly immersive experience and I am recommending it to every one who seek the SimRacing or wants to save money on practice for driving license, as it is very realistic when you get the additional H-shifter. Combined with VR headset you really feel like in the car (G-force aside). The wheel is quiet comparing to early 2000's G25 or G27. The leather is really well done and 23 functional buttons can establish control within any sim-racing game. 900° of rotation is plenty and can fit into any racing game. Pedals are great for beginners and there are available add-ons for more advanced players. I was concerned about their movement on my space, but they come with a very good rubber for solid surface and carpet grip extension if you have one likewise. The cables are long, but can be rolled under the steering wheel base for comfort. Overall the prize is well stated, for about £40 extra, you can get H-shifter to create the best setup for beginners and enthusiasts - it is more than enough to make you sweat after long race and you will sleep like a baby. So far I've done over 100hours of ride, even on 3/4 of force feedback the motors bearly warms up but this is a workout range. 2.6Nm may sound like nothing but it's more than enough.Vollständige Rezension lesen

As someone who is just starting out on their wheel journey, this was probably an expensive purchase. However I have no regrets. The wheel is feature rich but not overwhelming. There is plenty on the wheel which means if you are using this on the PC, once you have it set up, you need not touch your keyboard or mouse in most cases. Using it on console is straight forward, plug and play. When combined with VR You are completely immersed, short of being in an actual car, its almost true to life. (With my X Rocker Chair the rumble feed back on that really helped me feel like I was in a car.) The wheel has a 900 degree turning circle which is plenty in any game and should really be what you are looking for when buying a wheel, I think anything less can be limiting. The wheel can be quite noisy, from what I have read there are less noisy alternatives, however if you are just starting out as I am, this is a perfect wheel and the less noisy alternatives are a little more expensive, if the noise issue will bug you, then prepare to spend a little more. If you are already a wheel pro, then spending a little more is probably something you are already prepared for. Driving games with a wheel is a steep learning curve, not for the fainthearted and easily defeated out there. Try out a friends or maybe start out with something a little cheaper before investing. If you have already purchased and decide it's not for you it's a big expense. However they do retain quiet a bit of value in resale, just don't expect to get exactly what you paid.Vollständige Rezension lesen
