About this deal

This is a good quality wheel/pedals - a very solid feel to it (it's heavy!) and nice look. The use of real leather and metal parts adds to the realism. It's easy to connect although all the leads are a bit of a pain, especially if you have the gear shifter too. However, after installing the drivers and software direct from Logitech it became rather confusing about the settings. When comparing both the Logitech G29 and G920, you have to look at the G29 as the better racing wheel. It includes extra features that have simply been removed from the G920. The Logitech G923 is the same price no matter which console compatible version you opt for. And this is the same between the G29 and G920. However, the G29 and G920 are priced slightly lower than the G923. On the front of the wheel are a series of rev lights, a bright red rotary dial and some plus and minus buttons. These all allow you to control certain aspects of your car while driving and are fully customisable. For example, you can increase and decrease your brake bias using the plus and minus buttons, and adjust your traction control using the red wheel.

Inside, and in the performance category, both the Logitech G29 and G920 are identical. So if performance is the only part of a racing wheel that matters, both wheels are just as good as each other!The new Logitech G923 looks very similar to the G29. It features the same design, same inputs, and the rev lights and rotary dial are all the same. The big news on the design front is that all of these features are now available to Xbox gamers. The Logitech G923 was released in 2020 and introduced a few upgrades to the Logitech racing wheel formula. It also fixed a few issues with the Xbox compatible G920. Compatibility isn’t a huge issue with the newer Logitech G923. You simply choose which console version you would like, and your G923 will work out of the box. The wheel has the same look and functionality no matter which console you opt to sim race one.

Its design consists of a metal face plate, with a hand stitched leather wheel. There are a series of buttons on the front of the wheel, all allowing you to control your PlayStation console without requiring a controller. It does need to be clamped to something, it cannot just be rested on your lap. I have mine on a piece of board but a proper gaming wheel stand would be better. This makes the G920 a slightly inferior racing wheel when compared to the G29. However, all of this is out of the control of Logitech, as it is the Xbox architecture that is stopping these additional functions from working. There have also been upgrades to the pedals on the G923. The brake pedal is a lot stiffer and offers more realistic braking compared to the older G29 and G920 brake pedals.After some research I found the best way to set it up is to delete all profiles in the Logitech software except the default profile. Set the default profile as "persistent" then go in to your games and tweak the settings there and ignore the Logitech software completely from then on. Spend a bit of time in each of your games getting the wheel to feel right and you'll be fine. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. I use mine mainly with Forza Horizon 3 and it really does make the game about as real as a driving game can get.

A few things that were removed from the G29 for the G920 include the red rotary dial, the plus and minus buttons and the rev lights. None of these features appears on the G920. This is a shame, as both products are priced exactly the same. The Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel is the definitive racing simulator hardware for the latest Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and selected PC games.Breaking, cornering and various surfaces all feel better than ever on the G923. The pedals receive the least enhancements. A progressive spring and stiffer feeling on the brake pedal allows for some better heel-toe manuevers. Hopefully, Logitech can figure out how to have their pedals match the realism on their wheels without an insane price increase. Regardless, the entire build feels incredibly strong. Both the wheel and pedals are comfortable and ready for hours of continuous driving. To start with, the Logitech G923 looks identical, no matter whether you opt for the Xbox compatible version or the PlayStation compatible version. There are two versions available to buy due to Xbox and PlayStation’s different requirements when it comes to peripherals. But both versions look identical. For me, I like as much control as possible when using a racing wheel. That means that the more inputs there are available for me to configure and use the better. In this regard, the G29 wins due to its extra functionality.

The Logitech G920 is the Xbox variant of the G29. Inside, it’s exactly the same wheel. It behaves the same, has the same motor and maximum power, and the same pedals. But strangely, on the outside, the G920 is a rather different looking wheel. It's not a simple plug and play device. You've got profiles with settings for each of your games WITHIN the Logitech software and then you've got the ingame settings to tweak. It took me days of tweaking and changing settings in both the Logitech software and within each game I played and it still didn't feel right. Trueforce is designed to bring extra immersion to racing with a G923. It uses vibrations to simulate the vibrations that you feel when sitting in a real car. The more you rev your engine, the stronger the vibrations get, just like in a real car.If you are looking to buy a great entry-level racing wheel for either PS5 or Xbox, I would highly recommend a Logitech G923. Especially compared to the older G29 and G920.
