    It's interesting, but not in the "I want it" way of interesting, it's rather "tie your cat's rear legs together and glue a sticky note on its head to watch it trying to walk funny" interesting.
    The prices are a bucket of ice cold water dropped on your head - not poured out, just dropped so it hits you bottom first.
    Design is questionable, but subjective. The biggest flaw in this is definitely going to be software, as just saying "g hub" is enough to give some people ptsd and logitech are seriously doing themselves a disservice if they're going to rely on it long term without completely overhauling it.
    Time will tell how it will work out when it hits the masses.

      Hell right, G HUB is the bane of my existence as a Logitech G920 user prior to me getting a Moza R9. While SimPit is not the best thing in the world, it's miles ahead of G HUB in terms of stability. The bloody thing just works! I turn on the base - it gets detected, I go off to the races. With G HUB I had to relaunch the damned software all the time to make it recognize the wheel so that I could switch presets! Also, having the ability to use my smartphone to manipulate the wheel's settings without alt-tabbing is a great feature!

    It would be great if Logitech decide to sell this in Brazil/SA region where you can't really but any DD wheel from Fanatec/Moza etc, they could take an market that have no easy option. If they bring this to Brazil it would probably cost around 2k USD with taxes, but you can't really buy any other DD for less that 3/4k USD from a independent import, so would make this became an easy option for almost everyone who wants an DD wheel that is officially sold inside the country.

      Same here in India. I bet there are several countries just like ours where there are no DD wheels or load cell pedals selling but where Logitech already have established themselves by selling the G29 and other peripherals. If Logitech brings their G Pro wheel and pedals to these markets they'll be the only choice and stand to make a lot of money.

    I used the G29 for about 2 years on F1 2020 but I wanted to go Direct Drive. Here in Australia Fanatec is sold out everywhere, impossible to get and most of the others are too. So I went for the G9 Pro and it is fantastic. The more I get used to the fine adjustments it gets even better. The large plastic case I think is to make a channel for airflow all around to be sucked out the back with the 80mm exhaust fan. And the DD motor would be mounted directly to the bottom mounting plate. I also think the pedals are fantastic.

    I'm gonna comment before I even watch your video randy and I hope readers take this as a good tip. Lots of these u-beaut wheels clip ie lose ffb at critical times in a race. In a long race, lots of corners, or high ffb settings I am reading that expensive DD wheel bases are clipping due to overheating and/or gamers using them at the maximum rated Nm because they didn't know about this issue. The solution I've read is to turn the ffb down to where it doesn't clip.
    Now I see the Logi G Pro has a fan in back instead of an all aluminum casing. So instead of looking steampunk or if I was to be narky, looking like a Ford Escort gear box, the Logi Pro looks more retail, mainstream even ordinary; aka just another plastic thingy.
    BUT, I am also reading that a player cannot hear the fan because it is so quiet. I have not read or heard of ANYBODY complaining of clipping on the Logi Pro base at ANY ffb setting. I have read and heard the ffb is as smooth as silk AND is not grainy! What does that tell me? Logi did in fact get it right in many areas.I Also last thing, I note that the Logi G Pro is sold a at brick and mortar outlets at leas there in Oz it is.

    If you had a choice between the Simagic Alpha Mini base and GT Neo wheel OR the Logitech G Pro base and wheel combo... which gives the better FFB and experience overall? (not factoring other ecosystem considerations at all, just based on quality of FFB and experience with the driving)

      I guess I might be a little stronger Thani give myself credit for because I was able to handle the force feedback easily, though it’s definitely no slouch at 8nm peak torque and it definitely made my arms tired after hours of racing.
      It’s a GREAT setup. Maybe one day I will upgrade to DD1 or DD2. But for now, this is a great system and it’s really easy to set up.
      They also have a lot of wheel options (I bought an extra McLaren GT3 wheel that recently arrived).
      Overall I’d definitely recommend it.

      @@stayoffthemarbles6790 if they wanted to push either of those out of the market they needed to launch at a lower price and create a captive audience. 2 massive mistakes here are that you cannot swap platform from ps to xbox or vice versa without buying the WHOLE BASE AND WHEEL all over again.. not allowing interoptability is a big no when you have a QR system like that. Should have done it the fanatec way and done PS in the base, and XBox in the wheel.. so stupid.

      Sounds relatively reasonable, but honestly if those pedals are that expensive then they're actually not that good in fact they'll be boardline trash.

    The simagic mini is a beast! There are tests made with it that have measured 13 nm peak (it’s on an iracing forum) so the 10 claimed is likely the continuous torque. It is price the same as this Logitech and it’s very tiny compared to this one. The quick release on simagic is amazing and the fact that you can run other usb wheels it’s just Amazing and I am not forced to an ecosystem. We can now argue that being quick release you can use Logitech with an usb wheel as well but just overall stick to simagic. Though one bad thing to note about it is the notch feel when it’s centered but I’m certainly that it’s all fixed with software updates.
