The Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals are designed to make racing games feel closer to the experience of actually driving a car. The wheel is covered in genuine leather, with stainless steel paddle shifters, and comes with a separate three-pedal set. It also has force feedback that pushes back against you when the tires are under load or slip. The force feedback is made possible by dual motors and helical gears that simulate slide, curb hit, and grip change through your hands. As an added bonus to making racing titles feel more physically demanding, this bundle comes as a complete starter kit for a desktop or rig.
The perfect companion for your favorite racing games
The force feedback on the G29 wheel is simulated using dual motors and helical gears, translating what happens on the race track into your hands. In addition to being comfortable and soft, the leather wrap also provides a solid, grippy feel.
Along with the G29 wheel, the included floor pedal unit lets you individually control throttle, brake, and clutch to provide the same type of vehicle control you get from driving a real car. Like most vehicles, the brake pedal has a non-linear response to pressure, becoming stiffer as you apply more pressure. This feature helps improve the ability to judge trail braking and threshold stops, and the pedals rest on a heavy-duty base that prevents them from slipping. You can also customize the distance and angle between the pedals to find a comfortable position.
You can turn the G29 wheel 900 degrees in either direction, providing the same amount of steering control as many real cars and giving you a much more realistic feel for the turns. Most short-throw wheels do not allow enough turn to represent how a driver would need to turn to complete a wide sweeping corner, and therefore, you will find yourself turning the wheel around two and a half times to complete these types of turns. Along with the wheel, the G29 features a number of rim controls, including a D-pad, face buttons, and shift light indicators that let you navigate menus, make basic setting adjustments, and time your shifts without taking your eyes off the racing line.
The Logitech G29 is compatible with various platforms. Compatibility includes PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and supported PC or Mac games, and the software can adjust wheel sensitivity and force feedback. Also included with the G29 are metal ball bearings, clamps, and bolt points that ensure the wheel’s stability on a desk or rig, and the separate pedal base is ready for stands. Given its features and the $200 sale price, compared to its normal price of $330, the G29 provides a significant upgrade over a standard game controller at a great price.
