LOGITECH Steering Wheels

[Bram Hengeveld]

Dont look further: G25... If you spend more then an hour a day on racing i would strongly recommend that one

[Not_Lifting_off]

If your on a limited budget then look on ebay, i got a thrustmaster ferrari ff for £6.50 +pp 3 or 4 mths ago. search in all the controller listings, mine was incorrectly listed with mice n stuff i think not joysticks. I had one years ago till the motor packed up ppls opinion vary but i like it, and for the prices there going for on ebay id recomend 1 to anyone!

something like this
Force FeedBack Arcade Steering Wheel for PC USB BOXED on eBay, also, Joysticks, Input Devices, Computing (end time 02-Jun-08 20:04:18 BST)



Microsoft SIDEWINDER USB Force Feedback Steering Wheel on eBay, also, Other Input Devices, Input Devices, Computing (end time 01-Jun-08 19:40:02 BST)

my brother had one of these, i wasnt too keen on it but it did the job!

[James Yates]

There really isn't any point in him getting something that cheap, as it will be worse than his xbox wheel that he sometimes uses at the moment.

[Not_Lifting_off]

really, explain to me why getting the wheel at a good price makes it a poorer wheel than if i buy it new (apart from the 2nd hand factor)! the thrustmaster is a good wheel (it was the expletive deleted when it camer out), plus he could use it on his xbox.

I havnt seen a wheel designed for a console that would better the ms let alone the thrustmaster, then again i dont like console gaming so i dont really look.

Once i bought a Trustmaster Enzo Ferrari wheel. It took me 1 day to sell it after trying it.

1 Day? Thats still too long.... LOL Atti.

G25 owner here; very satisfied with it. Its worth the money, still I think Logitech has to make a light version without the shifter and more buttons on the wheel itself.

which is why i said the thrustmaster ferrari ff, the original wheel they bought out much better than the following wheels.

this one, its an old review from a racer not an editor who plays games!

Thrustmaster Ferrari FF wheel

its just an opinion, like i said i like mine, i liked the original when i had it and the one i have now is the updated version!

he list a cpl of issues in the downside that ive never experienced, paddles breaking and the pc locking up moving the wheel when off, looking back over the downsides none of them have been relevant to me.

For me its an a+ wheel, good ff, good feel, good pedals, cheap, CHEAP, did i mention cheap and if it does break you can get another one cheap my old one took a battering for about 3 yrs the motor burnt out and i think that was down to a power spike and not faulty wheel.

Or you could do what I'm about to do...








To quote Wayne's World: "It shall be mine" ...

[Ben Tusting]

Now that sounds like a good idea
how much

[Attila Domján]

i guess way too much... but i should be silent with my ECCI for 1800 USD + taxes... lol

[Ben Tusting]

Yes it does, the Driving Force GT works completely fine with the PC - well, a few buttons don't work... the + and - and the red one that rotates.

[Ben Tusting]

I was going by the logitech website

Download the drivers for the old version of the wheel and all is fine just some of the buttons dont work, As of yet no real plans for PC drivers but they said that about the old version.

Anyone have any ideas on how to add/mount buttons to the G25 steering wheel? I used to have a DFP and miss the convenience of all those buttons on the wheel.

Thanks...

[Neil Tennant]

maybe something like

CXC Simulations - G25 SLI

I did see a custom one that a guy was selling which has the same rev light and gear display and had lots of extra buttons... cant think where i saw it though...

[Steve Emmons]

I think that CSC has the right idea, but it only has rpm leds. I've been looking around to see if I can find a special keyboard or "10-key like" pad that I can mount on the wheel. Something that can be used for mirrors, quick-chat presets, etc.

Thanks...

[James Yates]

Found it! Clicky

[Steve Emmons]

That's pretty cool. I'm going to pm him to get more details.

Thanks!

[Bram Hengeveld]

Hmm keep us updated. This looks very cool indeed. I too miss my buttons on the wheel. That is the only downside i can think of regarding 'The G'

[Lee Holmes]

i`m getting one of these when i save the cash.
RSW-G25
you get a new wheel, paddles and extra buttons and prices start from £199

[Steve Emmons]

This is cool. Wish it was available in the usa.
