    Def a differace over the G920/G923

    Im comparing this to a G920. Basically the same wheel as the G923 for those that dont know. The G923 just has trueforce. Thats it. Ive put some time in using it before writing this review as I put lots of gime into my G920. The wheel is definitely much smoother than the logitech. Which is to be expected since its a hybrid drive. Also, it definetely has more power. The pedals in my opinion are much better since they not only have more space vetween them, but also, are magnetic based instead of potentiometer based. The logitechs have issues with those overtime. In my opinion, this is a better option if you have the money. I paired it with a TH8A shifter since I mostly drive street cars. Its a much better shifter also. Thrustmaster just came out with a budget one also. But I wanted the TH8A since its proven. Go see my review on that here. I give this wheel a solid 10/10. Its great since you can get pedals and a great wheel for realatively inexpensive. If it were me, save your money and get this instead of the logitech.

    This has changed the way i play racing games. Feed back is great for a wheel that doesnt cost $1,000. Pedals feel good too with some customization features. I went from fingers swearing to whole body sweating in a long race. Its a great experience. Only thing i would say is the steering wheel itself could maybe look and feel a little better to the touch but easily ignorable while playing.

    Great upper tier beginner wheel and pedal combo

    This is a great combo and it works well. The pedals are very smooth and accurate. The wheel is very comfortable and has great force feedback. It definately lacks power compared to the higher priced direct drives so you lose out on some details like feeling the front tires getting heavier or lighter when the grip amount changes during turns. But the details it can give you is definately great for its price. I would recommend this wheel over most non direct drive wheels (especially if you get it on sale). Thougj if you are willing to spend a little bit more(5-600), you can get a entry level direct drive and load cell pedal combo which would out perform this combo by far. I ended up returning this wheel because it showed me a little taste of what i could have if i spent more. I ended up buying the logitech pro(much higher $) wheel/pedals(which i blame on this wheel for how good it felt getting something nicer than the $100 combos) which is what i will stick with for a while.

    This is my first racing wheel/pedal setup since i was a kid with a cheap one for ps2. I got the shifter add on to go with it. For the price range compared to a direct deive setup, i love it! I did get this on sale, and i purchased "excellent condition" open box but nothing is wrong with it. Eventually ill upgrade but it suits my current needs perfectly. As others have stated, it can slide pretty easily and can start to tip backwards if you dont have it supported. If you can rig up something behind it or be mindful of where you rest your heels, its not a big issue. If you have a dedicated stand itd be a non issue. Im using mine on my desk over in front of a second monitor so i dont have to regularly move it and i have no problems. I still cant drift well with it but racing in Asseto Corsa is extremely satisfying

    Tis is the best purchase that I have made so far. As a disabled gamer the wheel makes the driving games so much more easier for me to enjoy. The wheel is also very easy to put together. I will always recommend this to any gamers looking for a wheel.

    High quality wheel set up. It’s really super close to the real thing. The adaptive force feedback makes it very nice set up. Features allow to adjust for the wheel turning degrees as well as other adjustments and inputs. Pro tip: get you chair set up to go with it, it’s so worth it.

    I own 2 of these one for Xbox series s and PS5 I love them both amazing product takes some getting used to for drifting itself bc it don't bounce back quickly but on any other type of driving it is really plug and play you can definitely drift after practice with it. I love this item and 100% recommend it and if you catch it on a deal like I did for both of mine they can be grabbed very cheap

    The first wheel I was sent was defective. It would endlessly try to calibrate at startup. Looked it up and found out it's a somewhat common issue and you have to return or replace the wheel if it happens. Not that big a deal, i returned it and they sent out another one about a week later. Other than that this wheel has been great. This wheel feels great. It has a ton of feedback. It does however feel a little small, and the wheel is plastic whereas the logitech g29 feels more like a real steering wheel. I would probably recommend looking into getting at least an entry level cockpit to go with this if you want to use full force feedback. I found it hard to use this wheel when it was trying to rip my keyboard tray off the hinges at every turn. Of coarse you can always just turn down the feedback to suite your need.

    Easy to use wheel. Love the haptic feedback, can be dialed up high for a more personal experience, then can be easily adjusted down to let a lil one play it

    This wheel and pedal setup is a great entry point into sim racing. I'd say it's better than the logi G wheel (not pro) but a little worse than the direct drive wheels that cost more from the likes of fanatec and higher thrustmaster wheels..

    Went from a thrustmaster tmx to this and it’s about the same id say another get entry wheel will say the pedals are not very stable other than that force feed back feels improved upon on the force feedback in the newer models

    The answer of either logitech or thrustmaster never been more clear until after buying both. Thrustmaster has everything g29 doesn’t. A led display, more comfortable feel and actual car feel
