Sim racing has been a thing since kids pumped quarters into the Pole Position machine at the arcade. (Sorry not sorry, that game was amazing.) Sim racing got really big during the pandemic when we watched real racers like Dale Earnhardt Jr. showing off their skills in the sim version, and it’s still big. It’s never too late to start, and starting with the right gear like the Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals will help you get hooked. The real beauty of the G29 Driving Force, aside from the new $230 sale price at Amazon, is that the two models available in this sale cover pretty much ever conceivable sim racing platform out there. There’s a PlayStation version that works with the PS4 and PS5, and an Xbox version for the Xbox X|S and Xbox One. Both versions work with PC and Mac too, to complete the full range of compatibility. Real-Feel Wheel The G29’s force feedback system runs on helical gearing rather than the spur gears used in cheaper wheels. Helical gearing meshes at an angle, which smooths out the engagement between gear teeth and eliminates the notchy, mechanical clatter that budget force feedback wheels are known for. The result is feedback that’s quiet and fluid; road texture, tire slip, and curb strikes come through as graduated resistance rather than jarring hits. Dual-motor force feedback handles the load, and the wheel itself is wrapped in a hand-stitched leather cover that holds up better than the rubber or hard plastic alternatives under sustained use. The lock-to-lock rotation on the G29 covers 900 degrees: Two and a half full turns, hand over hand, which is in range of actual production car steering ratios. That’s the detail that separates this sim wheel from the half-turn arcade-style alternatives. Paired
