It's no secret that Logitech is a leading manufacturer of computer peripherals and accessories.
Their products are top notch and the G27 wheel is unmatched in the racing wheel market.
Their progression of wheels from the robust MOMO Racing Force Feedback wheel to the critically aclaimed G25 has ultimately led to the introduction of the G27 wheel.
Based on the successes of the G25 the hand stitched leather wrapped G27 also has dual motor Force Feedback with helical cut gears to feel every ripple in the road and when your car is on the limits of adhesion.
The helical cut gears reduce the internal noise to a bare minimum. This wheel offers a full 900 degrees of rotation, a race inspired LED RPM/shift indicator and wheel mounted paddle shifters. It has 16 programmable buttons, 6 on the face of the wheel instead of just the 2 on the G25. I use the easy to reach buttons to change my driving view in mid race and to key my microphone to talk with my teammates while still maintaining full steering control. The remotely located 6-speed shifter pod also houses an additional 4 buttons and a D-pad. The fully adjustable pedal set features real metal pedals with different resistance for each which really adds to the realism.
If you have never driven a racing simulator using an actual steering wheel, you are in for a surprise.
There is no comparison when moving from a hand held controller that is "all thumbs" to the more intuitive and natural feel of the G27 wheel and pedals rig. Afterall, you don't use a hand held controller to operate your street driven car, right? This setup truly immerses you into any racing game and you will be amazed at the improvement in your lap times.
If you are a serious racing simulator enthusiast the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel is a must have item. This is hands down the most popular racing wheel with drivers worldwide.
I shopped extensively locally and all over the internet and found the best prices here.
The G27 is compatible with PC, Playstation2 and Playstation3
