Logitech G27 Racing Wheel

The price tag at first boggles the mind, but once you have it arrive at your door you can see why before even removing it from the box. The unit itself is encased in foam and packaged in two boxes for safety. Once out of the box the building is quite easy and the smell of genuine leather emanates always. I bought one for my son and it is amazingly durable and customisable. The feel of it sitting in it is equivalent to a race car, it has an amazing feel and no part seems cheaply made. Downsides, majour downside of course being the price tag, but as mentioned once you fell one you see it is justified. The other being no wheels to move it around, but these can be easily installed from a hardware shop and the basic idea is not to move it anyways. The other main downside ... MoreThe price tag at first boggles the mind, but once you have it arrive at your door you can see why before even removing it from the box.

The other being no wheels to move it around, but these can be easily installed from a hardware shop and the basic idea is not to move it anyways. The other main downside is that the plate that holds the steering wheel is too high for little kids when the braces are used, without the braces it bounces around a bit and the pedals are too far away for kids. Mine I have not attached the pedals, simply use a clamp to hold them in place so for ease of swapping easily for little kids to teens/adults. The braces for the steering wheel plate do not fit at all but again a large clamp holds it up for teens/adults and can be removed easily for little kids to have it lower. All in all, no regretsat all with buying this, I would recommend any dad with a son to buy one!

Now, I love me some bacon, so for anything to be ranked above bacon, you know it's going to be good. First thing I noticed was the quality. Leather that actually feels like leather on the wheel; stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals. This thing is just such a step up from the DFGT I owned previously.The wheel is also extremely quiet. When it calibrates you can still vividly hear the neighbour's dog barking at various inanimate objects, and even the owner telling it off... Whether you like hearing the dog or not is up to you, but it explains how much of an improvement there is in quietness. It's just about silent.The force feedback feels a little less violent than the DFGT, but it certainly feels more legitimate. It's probably more because it's quieter that ... MoreNow, I love me some bacon, so for anything to be ranked above bacon, you know it's going to be good. First thing I noticed was the quality.

It's probably more because it's quieter that it appears as though it's less violent.I could go on and on, but I think you already know what I'm going to say, there is nothing but compliments. So I'll move to a few cons with the wheel.When you use the wheel on PC, the LED lights do not function. This isn't a problem, but it would be cool to see them in action. The new clamps can be slightly difficult to grip onto, but do hold the wheel down nicely.So summed up... I may as well just tell you to buy it. Because it's a great wheel, unless of course you own an Xbox... Which means it won't work, which isn't all that good in the end.

Unfortunately, mine came defective. In the profile that you install to use this item, there is a section for the clutch to be tested, it reads like a speed-o-meter, left means not pressed, all the way to the right means the pedal is pressed all the way down. Simple right? Well its not when it doesnt work. Right out of the box, the clutch was already defective. The profiler didnt recognize a clutch. Instead, it showed the meter all the way as if it was pressed down completely. Tried several things in different games to make it work and nothing. Another note on the profile didnt quite recognize the other buttons, most of them, and the shifter correctly either. The shifter set to 1st gear was picking up as 5th gear. 2nd gear was 6th gear. Some of the extra buttons were ... MoreUnfortunately, mine came defective.

Some of the extra buttons were not recognized correctly. All in all, this had more problems that it had use. Spent a week using it as is, horrible feeling to it, spent another 2 days fiddling with the settings trying to resolve the clutch and other issues. I recommend it, but you'd have to be really lucky to get a perfect unit that will work properly right away.
