***Note:* Logitech has confirmed (pending certification) that both the G923 Xbox and Playstation versions will work on the Xbox Series X and PS5 respectively.
I hope Logitech can make an E-brake lever controller that is compatible to all existing Logitech wheels. At the moment many sim racers will DIY an E-brake to the Logitech wheels.
everything about my logitech wheel is DYI lmao inverted peddles, new rim, sequential shifter mod, removed that fake stupid rubber "load cell" and of course a e brake mod, i even have a eatonfuller shifter mod.
Heyyyyy! Thanks Manuel. I was really focused on work and trying to move up a position to mid-level software engineer at the company I work for. I've found more of a flow now and I think I can make more videos without work suffering.
@@BallisticTech Nice. I always appreciate the high production value of your videos and amount of information you share so looking forward to further videos and reviews. Good luck with the promotion at work too. :)
Logitech have a long history of gradual evolution. The wheels get better with each new version but if you own the previous version you don't feel like its obsolete. That's not very exciting perhaps but I quite like that they've avoided the planned obsolescence we see so often these days. It would be nice to see Logitech do an upmarket wheel in addition to this entry level wheel but it looks like its not going to happen.
looks like more of the same from logitech. from the driving force -g27-g29-g923 they all have the same basic features. i wish logitech would make something in the mid grade area to compete with fanatec
It would be risky for Logitech to do that because they make a lot of different PC accessories. They need a large profit margin on each racing wheel sale. That's why the G923 and it predecessors have been costly for what you get.
Looks interesting but I think I’d rather pick up a Logitech G29 if the price ever goes down or just save up for a Fanatec wheel. Was hoping for more of and update and also a option for an e brake.
@@huawafabe im telling yah man put some short screws (about 1/4 of the way in) in that thing so they line up horizontally with the middle of the shifter then wrap some elastic bands around the heads of both screws and around the shifter. then assign shift up and down to 3rd and 4th. the elastic will put you back to neutral neutral every time acting like a sequential. then when you want to go back to H pastern just take the bands off and change 3rd and 4th back
PC or console? Will you likely want to upgrade down the road? Most appealing thing about the CSL Elite to me is the upgrade path. Multiple wheel rims, can upgrade to the LC kit and even clubsport pedals later. And DD if you win the lottery. You can always jump to Fanatec later if you start out with Logitech. And if your on PC you can mix and match. Right now I'm having a hard time recommending this without trying it hands on. I should be able to try it soon tho
@@etamm1343 CSL Elite is great but is like $170 - $300 more, they keep going in and out of stock and when you can order them it's taking up to a month to receive them because of covid. I don't think there's any doubt that they're considered better than the Logitech. They're often the next upgrade from Logitech. The fact that he's even considering them vs the Logitech tells me price is a major consideration.$170 - $300 is a lot.
@@BallisticTech Probably, but even in that case I would go with Thrustmaster T300RS GT with that $400 price, but if he wants G923 then I would rather go with G29/G920 because it's basically the same wheel as G923, but cheaper.
Hi there, I’m planning to buy my first racing wheel. Which one is better? Mainly gt sport and going to gt7 in the future. G923 + g shifter T150 pro + th8a + t3pa Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!!
Pretty much everything about the wheel here. Long video but hopefully provides you with the info you need to decide. czcams.com/video/_dXfYnR-Y7E/video.html I think it's better than the G29. But whether or not the improvements are worth the $ for you or anyone else is up for debate. G29's are going back down in price after the COVID scalping. So it's looking reasonable to find one for $200-250 USD. The G923 will likely stay up around $400. Some sites in Europe seem to be offering it at slight discounts but I haven't seen any US retailers doing so. Trueforce definitely an improvement. When using the wheel in a supported game the immersion level is increased a lot. If you don't play any of the supported titles it might lean you towards the G29 Even without Trueforce support the improved electronics mean the FFB is delivered in a better manner and it feels a bit punchier. FFB is so subjective 2 ppl with otherwise similar tastes can try the wheel and have completely different opinions. That's why people's FFB settings seem to differ so drastically for the same wheel in the same title The launch control works well in titles like iRacing. I didn't like the new progressive spring as much as the G29 with the rubber stopper. But that's again pretty subjective. So it comes down to whether the Trueforce, Progressive Brake, and Launch Control are enough to justify $100-200 price difference depending on if sales are going on.
The least Logitech can do is make an extra SKU that includes the pedal shifter for slightly more. I can't believe they're normalizing a non shifter setup
If you already have the G29, it would be a waste to upgrade.. Only difference I could feel is the FFB with the TrueForce is a little bit stronger than the G29.and THAT'S IT.. Not worth it at all tbh.. I returned mine 3 days after I got it
again PROPRIETY tech will die soon after launch because NOT ENOUGH support from developers and other makers, ie, the Direct Drive makers. we never learn.

If you have a contact their tell them, PLEASE, fix the g hub software or just get rid of it all together.
@@imJGott I've heard they had a beta build that will release with the G923

That sounds scary! I had to go back to Logitech g gaming software because it’s more stable than g hub

Not worth the upgrade if you have a g29/g920 already
Going to be a hard sale for any current gen wheel owners. Especially without getting to actually try the major differentiating feature before buying.
Good to see you doing hardware reviews again dude.

I think they should start considering belt driven system to compete with Thrustmaster.
Gordon Lo
Yes! And also look into improving their pedals since that is way more important and is often over looked.
It would be risky for Logitech to do that because they make a lot of different PC accessories. They need a large profit margin on each racing wheel sale. That's why the G923 and it predecessors have been costly for what you get.
How to make your own g923:
1) Grab your g29
2) Buy g923's black button
3) Install them on your G29
4) Profit
Add a piezo buzzer in it.
5) Profit x2

No new shifter? I kinda want to switch between 6-gear and sequential shift where it springs back into the middle
you can do magical things with two screws and some rubber bands lool. ill see myself out lol
Yeah no new shifter, there are quite a few mods I've seen people do with the driving force shifter to get it to perform like a sequential
@@BallisticTech gotta look into that then

Fanatec CSL Elite or this wheel? Tough choice, but the price for the G923 is more appealing; I’m leaning toward Logitech.

What game and settings did you use? If you didn't at least feel the engine vibrations that seems weird.
Anyone who knows about pedal resolution for the new wheel? The g920/g29 was only 8 bit, and would be really nice with an upgrade on that front
My understanding is that this uses the same 10k 8-bit resolution potentiometers. So that would be 256-step resolution per pedal.
is this new version bigger in diameter than the g920?
I haven't seen anything noting a different size wheel rim
Are logitech g wheel durable
Ps not a hard driver
I have seen people still using G25😂
@@GordonLoJ ok thanks I'm buying g23 then
If it uses the same motors and gears as the G29’s it’s not worth it. Buy a T300 instead
The big selling point is the new TrueForce FFB with physics and audio direct from the game.
Next gen not out yet this is too early?
Well they'll be out in a few months.
Believe me, Alonso is not using a Logitech wheel.
Why believe you? Everyone saw Alonso's setup in the Race Legends series and Virtual 24h Let Mans
For the people who didn't saw.
Meh. Not gonna upgrade.
Thanks for watching Thomas!
