Black Friday Sale: Save $100 on Logitech G920 at Best Buy

Logitech has finally come up with two successors to its popular G27 racing wheel: the Logitech G920 Driving Force, designed for PC and Xbox One. Together with the Logitech G29, aimed at PlayStation 4 owners, they represent Logitech’s new racing steering wheels that rival those from Thrustmaster and Fanatec when it comes to playing racing games the best way possible.

Visually, the G920 doesn’t differ much from the G27’s design. Since the wheel is meant to be used on the Xbox One, the button design is taken directly from an Xbox controller, with all face and shoulder buttons found on the front of the wheel. Almost everything else is similar to the G27, including the gorgeous hand-stitched leather finish and solid stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals.

The only major difference in terms of hardware is that the H-switch, which was included with the G27, must now be purchased separately, which detracts from the value for those looking for the most realistic experience possible when driving manual cars. For those looking to upgrade from the G27 to the G920, the G27 shifter is compatible with the new steering wheel, so purchasing the new shifter is not necessary.

Instead of opting for a belt drive system used in many other steering wheels, Logitech has kept the helical gear system used in the G27. This makes the wheel feel similar to the G27 when turning, which can feel a bit bumpy compared to the smooth operation of belt-driven wheels. However, this small detail will not affect your enjoyment of the wheel itself, nor will belt-driven wheels magically shorten your lap times in racing games.

However, don’t mistake this steering wheel for a reissue of the G27 for the new generation of consoles. The steering wheel has been modified based on feedback from G27 users, and it shows. New to the G920 are the Hall effect sensors. Compared to the optical sensors on previous Logitech wheels, these new magnetic sensors are designed for greater precision, with little to no wear that affects Logitech wheels after years of use.
