Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

There are pedal mods to make the pedals feel more realistic, but they feel fine really. The steering wheel is wrapped metal, feels very good. The paddles are also metal and feel nice with a tactile click to let you know they are pressed. Works great w...  Read More



Cons

A lot of people mention optical sensor as the main problem, but the biggest problem are helical plastic gears inside the wheel. After about a year (but only 20 hours or so on the unit) mine started drifting off-center and losing calibration while driv...  Read More

The unit is defective and proven defective. There is a solution to fix this problem (a solution that will void any warranty) which is as simple as using some glue or purchasing a small replacement part.

Quality


The g27 is the best love the realistic feel wish the wheel and sifter where a little bit bigger but its still amazing

Competitiveness


Logitech made new software for their peripherals that have come out since the g27.


Which is an even older wheel from logitech with far less features.

I have raced cars on closed course circuits and it's very similar in gran turismo.
