Videos games are about immersion, and this is especially true when it comes to racing simulators. You want to feel like you’re in the driver’s seat and you can’t very well do that when you’re steering wheel is just an analog stick under your left thumb. Logitech’s G920 racing wheel and pedals can make you really feel like you’re behind the wheel when playing these games because, well, you really are behind the wheel. Right now, Amazon has both versions of the racing sim kit selling at a 23% discount. They normally go for $300, but the deal has them down by $70 to just $230 for a limited time.
Logitech has two different models for the racing wheel and included pedals, depending on the hardware you’re racing on. The first model is compatible with Sony consoles—specifically the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The second is for the Xbox kids and can be used with either the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, or Xbox One. Both models can be uses with with PC or Mac so if you’re playing on you’re computer, you can choose whichever of the two button layouts your prefer.
Premium Control on the Speedway
The Logitech G920 racing wheel isn’t just piece of plastic to be twisted and turned. It provides real Driving Force feedback that simulates with detail what it feels like driving a real car. It uses helical gearing which keeps the steering quiet and smooth. Plus the wheel is covered in a high-quality hand-stitched leather casing for better grip and real-world feel.
The racing wheel is capable of full 900-degree lock-to-lock rotation so you can full turn the wheel around two and a half times. You’re able to do actually hand-over-hand maneuvering as opposed to just pushing your left thumb one direction or the other.
The pedals are the real deal, too. Built into a study base, the pressure-sensitive nonlinear brake pedal give you accurate and responsive braking. They’re built from real automotive-grade steel.
The whole set also comes with a set of mounting clamps. You’re going to be gripping and ripping that steering wheel so you’re going to want to secure it to your desk, table, or dedicated driving simulator cockpit.
While being designed for racing, these are also full-fledged controllers. They have the same menu buttons and D-pads you’ll find on their standard controller counterparts. The Xbox version has its X-Y-B-A button layout while the PlayStation one has its square-triangle-circle-cross buttons as well. While you’ll get the most out of this playing driving sims or mainstream games like Forza or Gran Turismo, you could also take your shot at beating Elden Ring with it. Sound crazy, but I’m sure someone out there already has.
