So many elements have been designed with power, performance and accuracy in mind – from the real-time force feedback to the high-quality manufacturing. It's a shame, but you're now looking for a price of around $250 / £200 as a good deal for today's standards. Years ago, it was possible to pick up one of these for as low as £129.99 in the UK, but Gran Turismo 7's popularity has driven up prices - even on older tech. You don't have these issues with more premium wheels by Fanatec and Thrustmaster, but these are the compromises that come with the lower price. Instead, the feedback on the G29 uses a completely gear-based system, which provides a strong effect, but the feeling is less natural and smooth, so it could take you out of the experience. What you do lose over the G923 is the Trueforce force feedback. There's still a metal core and leather stitching over the points of contact on the wheel to give a more premium feel, as well as metal plates on the pedals to ensure they're solid. And while this racing wheel is a little older, it's still a fantastic choice for anyone who wants some high-quality controls, without having to pay as much for the newer tech. It's a worthwhile saving to consider if the limited-use Trueforce tech isn't a big selling point for you - especially if you play more racers that do not support it.īefore the G923, there was the Logitech G29. Those in the UK can get a much better offer, though, as we've seen it as low as £269.99 - that's around £30 less than the Logitech above. It's currently a lot more in the US, without only a small $50 drop from the normal price of $399.99 - so we'd suggest the Logitech for the better deal there. Plus, there's also a neat dashboard display that has a selection of 20 different modes to show key car or race information.Īs mentioned, the price is usually in a similar range to our top pick - sometimes a little more expensive, but equally sometimes a lot less. There are other positives too, including the leather-wrapped wheel and magnetic metal pedals that offer a more premium finish. For games that don't have this feature, you won't lose any benefits, then. The T248 uses a hybrid belts and gears system to deliver feedback, which creates a strong overall effect but lacks the fidelity and precision of the Trueforce tech in the Logitech G923 for supported games - such as Gran Turismo 7.
The Thrustmaster T248 sits in the same $300 / £300 price bracket as the Logitech G923, so what are the main differences between the two? The main one is the force feedback technology. If you're willing to spend to get a superior driving experience, the Logitech G923 is well worth the investment. It's rarely less than this as well and we don't expect many reductions in the near future given the increased popularity over the coming months. While it is a pricey racing wheel, you do get a lot for your money in terms of quality and features, making it a significant step up from its cheaper rivals. The Trueforce force feedback is a huge plus, too, as it delivers haptic feedback that better simulates the feeling of the road beneath you in your hands. The Logitech G923 is well built, with premium flourishes such as the leather stitching on the wheel and metal pedals for added durability. Logitech has been the leader when it comes to racing wheels for about the last two decades, so it makes sense that its current-gen accessory is another surefire hit.
