The King of Entry-Level Sim Racing
I've had my eye on the Logitech G29 for a while, and with the recent price drop to £169.39, it was the perfect time to get one. It's a huge step up from the cheap budget wheels and honestly, for the money, you can't really do much better. It's built like a tank with a solid steel construction and a nice hand-stitched leather steering wheel cover which feels great in your hands. The stainless steel paddle shifters are a nice touch too and they feel really responsive.The force feedback is the main thing here, and it's brilliant. It uses helical gearing which makes it pretty smooth and quiet, unlike some of the older wheels with their clunky gears. The wheel has a 900-degree lock-to-lock rotation, so you can really get a feel for the car on those big wide turns, just like you would in a real car. The pedals are also a big improvement over other brands in this price bracket. It's a full three-pedal set with throttle, brake, and a clutch, which is brilliant if you want to use the optional shifter for more realism. They're pressure sensitive and the brake pedal has a really nice, firm feel to it which helps with precision braking.The force feedback is strong but it's probably not as subtle or as detailed as some of the more expensive direct drive wheels you can get now. Those wheels are in a totally different league price-wise though, so that's not realy a fair comparison. For the price, you get a solid, reliable wheel that will last you for ages and give you a great introduction to sim racing. It's a huge improvement over using a standard controller.Logitech says that a lot of the plastic parts are made from 52% certified post-consumer recycled plastic, which is a nice little bonus and good to know they're thinking about sustainability.

The wheel, pedals, and shifter make racing games SOOO much better.
Originally, I purchased the G920 wheel for use on Windows 10 without the gear shifter. As I used it for F1 2017, this was perfectly fine as gears are switched using the LB and RB padals behind the wheel in the game, just like in an F1 car. It was also fine for Euro Truck Simulator 2 as the trucks have 12 to 18 gears on them. The wheel and pedals work brilliantly with both games, and all in game menus can be traversed with the wheel as it also doubles as a controller. You can never go back to playing with a controller once you've used a good wheel in racing games. It totally transforms the experience for the better.On playing Forza Motorsport 7 and Project Cars II, I realised that the gear shifter would add another dimension again. And again, once you've used a gear stick in racing games, it's hard to go back to not using one! It totally transforms the experience for the better. Can't wait for Forza Horizon 4 now! I feel like a kid playing Daytona USA in the arcades in the 90's again!! Priceless.So it's a good buy, no question. However there are some caveats that you should be aware of.You need to attach the wheel to a table, desk or something. It's very easy to do as the wheel has built in clamps on the underside to fix to such a thing. But you need such a thing, or else you wont be able to use it.The pedals have no grip on the bottom of the unit. They will slide when you press them on a wooden floor or thin carpet making them unusable unless you sort out some kind of fix to stop them sliding.The clutch and accelerator pedals are easy to press. The brake requires more force and a bit of getting used to. Don't get me wrong, it works well, attempting to emulate pressure required to slow a moving car, but you need to get used to it at first. After quickly realising the pedals slid without a fix, and fixing it, I nearly toppled the chair back I pressed so hard braking late on F1 2017! It's not a fault. You just need to work out how hard you should be pressing it for effective game play. It actually works very well once you get going. Teenager and above would be fine, but smaller kids may struggle pressing the brake pedal effectively. My kids are 8 and 10 and they struggle. But that's partly because they can't drive and always go flat out on the accelerator and brake way way too late! Personally, I would say the brake works well, and the resistance in pressing is an excellent feature. My kids would disagree. Fortunately, you can change what the pedals do easily, so I have made the clutch the brake for them instead. They prefer automatic anyway.The shifter has 6 gears, and a reverse gear. To access reverse, not obvious on first use, you need to depress the stick in neutral when the car is stationary before moving right and then down. The shifter adds a brilliant new dimension to the game play and control of the cars with the pedals. I see the dilemma for making a cost effective H shifter for gaming as this is. Many cars in Forza / Project cars have up to 8 gears. Many only have 5. 6 gears, 1 to 6, is a good balance for a default setting in a game that covers hundreds of cars. You can use the padals behind the wheels to go past 6th gear when needed. Euro Truck Simulator goes up 2 gears in each position which works well depending on the truck you are driving (they can go from 9 to 18 gears!). It also allows a shift key to make 1 to 6, 7 to 12 and vise versa. That's not really down to the manufacturer, Unless you want to buy an 18 position H shifter? They have provided a cost effective H shifter with 6 positions on it and a reverse to connect to your wheel and pedals. And I can say it works well for most instances. For the instances that it doesn't cover, there is usually an easy software work around with the controller buttons. As I prefer racing around in the older cars in games, pretending I'm James Bond in a DB5 for instance, it works a treat for me! For a 5 or 6 gear car, it's perfect!To conclude I spent around £200 for a gaming wheel with gear padals, 3 pedals, and a 6 position H shifter with a reverse gear. Am I happy with the purchase? Yes. Does it improve the gaming experience? Yes, immeasurably - you can't go back. Do I feel I got my money's worth? Yes. Is it perfect? No. But it depends on what you are after. For me, and most, it's a perfectly good and highly enjoyable solution. Just make sure you have something to attach it to and can stop the pedals sliding across the floor! I used this £23 table as shown in the picture https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0713S9252/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Well made and great value
Some folk call these entry level wheels, but I suggest they're much better than that. They're full featured, well made from quality materials and have sensational performance. I would recommend trying one out. I was so impressed with my Logitech G29 for Playstation, I bought a G920 for my XBox Series X. There are a few much more expensive wheels out there which are compatible with all platforms, but the fact that these Logitech wheels can be quickly swapped out on a rig or wheel stand whilst keeping the Logitech pedal set and shifter in place was the deciding factor for me. Just a pity these wheels can't be bought separate from the pedal set.

It's okay if you are on a budget
The biggest issue for me is how noisy it is on stronger FFB settings, which all non DD wheels do, I suggest checking videos on Youtube to see what I mean. If I pay for something I want to be able to use all of its features.Other than that I haven't experienced any other problems, it is easy to set up and works with all the racing games I have tried so far. I can't agree with others that it provides a realistic feel, it's an OK wheel but nothing overly amazing. The break pedal is a bit too stiff to give you the feel of a racing car, not daily drive, there are videos and mods online how to do that if you want, just don't attempt without watching as you could damage the wiring.I like the H patern shifter a lot, I like the quality and feel of it. By now I have upgraded the pedals, in the future I will swap wheel to DD.
