    To be fair wheel rims all take a few days to get used to. The quick release on the Pro is superb .From my perspective the G Pro rim is rock solid , the paddle shifters are the best I have used, and the pedals which you didn't try have quickly become my all time favorites and I have owned a lot of them. Both from major manufacturers and third party producers. I also think Logitech has a reliability track record for their wheels that is unmatched by anyone else in the industry. At 1262 US with free shipping I think the price is fair . I do some PC and Gran Turismo so cross platform capability is a must for me. Many have posted that Fanatec is cheaper but it really isn't. DD Pro 8nm $600 Mclaren V2 rim $200 Metal QR $100 V3 pedals $400 CSL Elites V2 $300 plus shipping

    • @SimracingPopometer
      @SimracingPopometer  2 года назад

      I did try the pedals earlier, just didn't mount them again for this video. They are good to use + easy to adjust.
      I would agree that getting used to a rim in general is a thing, but not to that degree. It's very solid and well manufactured, no doubt about it. The only thing that was bothering me was "the touch". The artificial leather (not an issue of being artificial, but the result of it being rather slippery), paired with a rather thin grip and no cushioning/foam underneath make it tricky for me to use for longer sessions or more tense race situations where the grip naturally tightens. My overall sentiment to the whole thing is very positive, just wish there were already more rims - and the QR suggests there will be.

    • @stevep927
      @stevep927 2 года назад

      @@SimracingPopometer How much did you pay for your rim of choice ? Of course there will be more rims hence the QR. Logitech did not pre announce because they knew that the initial supply would not be great which was very smart. I am not a fan of paying for a Fanatec pre order that I have no idea of when it will be shipped. As far as Moza and Sim magic not sure how the support would work out in the US. I trust Logitech far more than Chinese companies

      I'm on G923 with TLCMs and atm I've been waiting on a TM DD for a while, but I'm kinda weary of it since the TGTs have been so expensive while being great belt bases, they are still dated tech compared to the overflow of DDs. Funny enough atm I think having a really good cockpit for this pedals would help more than changing the base.

      I'm going to put some tape over the stitching where the thumbs wrap around the wheel. That should solve the problem .
      I've had mine for two weeks now, and have a Fanatec DD Pro (8nm with loadcells) on a second rig. This wheels major benefits, as Nils said, are that the bottom paddles can be configured as brake and throttle, or even handbrake.
      The Trueforce, when dialled down, is just incredible on GT7. Some (like Karl Gosling) have described it as gimmiky (quite fairly, I think, if you have transducers like a buttkicker), but for those of us who will not shell out for haptic add-ons, the TF is just amazing. By far the biggest plus for me over the DD Pro, and I have both.

    I'm now on my second wheel and base from Logitech. The customer service is awful and they really don't seem to care that they are sending out faulty products. The wheel will not calibrate itself properly and always sits just to the left. Logitech agree that this is wrong. After an hour or so the wheel will continually twitch, in race and on loading screens. When first turning on, all settings will be automatically maxed out and you have to change profiles to get it to change. Not an issue, until you have to continually restart due to the constant twitching. I've got all the test videos from myself and emails from Logitech. If enough people want to see them then I will upload it as a video.

      @@stevep927 nope. Samsung galaxy S10 plus bro. And I'm rocking my trusty old G27 to this day. I'm just saying Logitech priced the G PRO a little off of what the market can offer right now. Not by much but still you can find better deals with Moza, Simagic and even fanatec if u're able to find them in stock.

      idk, you know there is cost on the other end, too? it easily took them 4 years to bring it to market. lots of money spent that wants to be earned.
      especially when pricing is similar to other DDs.
      It might be unaffordable for an individual, but pricing doesn't look unreasonable to me
