Short answer yeah definitely is there better nicer sure but this will surprise you as an entry level wheel Fantastic video of all the benefits of this wheel tho straight up
@@Darren_Martin that is so true definitely but you can't really find a DD for under 400 so being able to get the wheel pedals and a shifter for the price is good for entry level imo I haven't been able to use a DD either so I'm sure if I had would be more likely to agree with you definitely just my opinion
I've owned my G29 & H pattern shifter for around 5+ years . Bought a wheel stand, made a seat box from wood around the house & a car seat donated by a friend . Have about $400 dollars invested & am not disappointed at all.
One thing I like about the G29 is how compatible it is with most driving, sim racing, casual games. Even new developers tune their games based on this wheel. It even works well with PS5. Other manufacturers might have the advanced direct drive tech but no point if your hardware is not supported in many games.
I "upgraded" to a moza r3 from the g29. Been going super hard on gt4 spec II in pcsx2 lately and the moza fucking sucks for that purpose. Actually boxed it back up today and I'm going to sell it on marketplace. I don't consider myself a sim racer despite having a rig and wheel/pedals. Racing is like ~25% of my overall gaming. Moza hardware is great but game support and software kinda sucks. Pit house stayed in Chinese language after I selected English lol. Thank God for google translate camera mode.
Im really cheap so i was able to find a used g29 for $100. I really wanted to try it out and my work was throwing away a lot of 80/20 and they let me keep it. I built myself a rig for free, i paid $100 for the g29. $45 for the shifter and $60 for a junkyard seat. And i made an ebrake out of a keyboard that was getting thrown away at work, and old rubber mallet handle and some other stuff from the trash at my job. I think if you want to try it out and not spend a ton of money this is the perfect starter wheel. Yes there are nicer wheels but you have to start somewhere.
The G29 is still a Fantastic Wheel in 2024, for those considering getting a wheel don't be put off it's definitely the best bang for buck you can have you don't need to pay a fortune for other wheels these perform very well with awesome feedback. These days where Games from both PS5 & XBox cost an absolute fortune it's an Awesome Buy providing thousands of hours of play. Highly recommend!
hi im only worried about the break , im prob going to buy tomorow but im a full beginner when it comes to racing , are the breaks that much of a problem since i want it for F1 and breaking feels very very important .
I'm still using my old G27 to this day and never fail to amaze me and still working perfectly it also did improve my sim experience compare to controller, it's just recently i order direct drive set simply because they have option that more affordable nowadays but still cost twice than my G27. So my opinion if you just start, not sure about into this hobby and on the tight budget i would say get logitech
It still is absolutely fine. Of course you can spend thousands for a wheel, and thousands for a high end PC. But both still remain - expensive - toys. I prefer keeping it on a sensible level and still get good performance out of it.
Picked up the the G923 during Black Friday and can place in the top 5-10% lap times in Forza as a casual 1 hour a night sim racer. Start with this and after 6 months or a year if you still enjoy racing then upgrade and keep this for a second setup for friends or the kiddos.
g29, still rocking my g29 1 year later and love it. I'm sure the newer DD wheels at this price point feel better but I got mine for black friday deal at like $175 and feel like it was a steal.
Fantastic entry level wheel, for MOST people getting into Sims the G9 series does great. It's a perfect starting point and also when your committed to upgrading to a DD, there will be a huge noticeable improvement. I'll getting the G Pro wheel & pedals in the next few weeks, can't wait!
I bought the G920 back in 2014. This wheel reached 3000 hours of hard sim racing in 2024. Online leagues championships, countless practice laps. It's been a workhorse for 10 years and counting. Sadly i retired from sim racing 3 years ago. And retired my trusty G920 on the shelf collecting dust. I still bringing her down from time to time to do some laps. Thank you G920 for the 10 years of podiums, pole positions, smiles and amazing battles on the track. Farewell. Highly recommended for anyone starting now. It's a great entry wheel.
I am running Assetto Corsa Competizzione on a Logitech Driving Force GT. I added 3D printed paddle shifters and don’t plan to ‘upgrade’. Those prices are crazy!
Still worth it, but there are probably many perfectly good used ones out there that you could get between $100-150. I know ours is 2 years old and still works perfectly, but it is sitting on a shelf because we upgraded to a G Pro DD wheel and pedal set.
It seems good for a first timer with a tight budget. I like these reviews how you can revisit an older product and evaluate it from a deep experience perspective. G29 👍like 330👍
When I got my G29 new it cost me £189 without the shifter and then covid lockdowns happen and the price shot up and I never seen it come down to what it was pre pandemic which is a shame as if you can find this wheel for £200 or less then its worth it as this wheel is basically supported by every game that supports a wheel
Use it as an entry model. Or use it in the console. I think it's well worth it. In particular, I think Logitech's lack of options is good for beginners as they can feel free to buy other companies' products when they step up.
If you are on PC, there is absolutely no reason not to go with Cammus C5 bundle which also includes the pedals and on top of that get a desk clamp if you plan to use the wheel on a desk (you probably do if you are considering an entry level wheel). That's $330 total for a DD wheel, pedals and desk clamp. G29/920 are fine if you are on a console.
Why do people keep doing this? 'Yeah if your new to the hobby why arnt you spending 150 extra for this instead? I know its double the cost but you have no excuse'
@@deezboyeed6764 150 extra is nothing when it comes to sim racing, especially if it gives you a DD wheel instead of a gear driven one. Some people spend more than $1000 just for the sim gear. So in comparison $330 is not that bad.
As someone who enjoys having full control when driving. Compared to holding my equipment in place because the setup is not strong enough. I have spent money making the playseat challenge stronger as I don’t have space for a profile rig. I’ve ordered 3d raps GGKit, anyway have a nice day
I have a G923 for a deal I couldn’t pass up on. Paired it with the Logitech pro pedals and been having a blast with it. Plus my kids play on my rig from time to time so it’s a plus
Thank you for this video. I was having trouble with games on my pc with the pedals not working. Like Asseto and Nascar 21 Ignition. I didn't know about the G-hub.
I went withthe T300 RS for the start and still feel like its superior to the gear driven Logitech. Now im with a Asetek Setup which is in a completely different league, but also way more expensive
It’s a fantastic entry wheel to this day. Best bang for the buck. Keep an eye on the Logitech refurbished store. They put the G29 on sale often. I got one a couple of months ago for $129. It arrived all but indistinguishable from a new one, completely packaged like new, without so much as a scuff mark. It’s hard to find well used ones for that price. I wouldn’t spend any more than that on a wheel and pedal set without making the jump to direct drive. The mid range $300-400, non DD wheels aren’t worth the jump over the G29 for their very modest improvements. Get the G29, and if you get the sim racing bug, put the $300 saved aside toward a direct drive upgrade down the road.
Great video I just wish console wheel base prices were equal to pc wheel bases the face fanatec is charging far more the Playstation compatible wheel bundles for over 700 is sad when the pc prices are around 300 to 500 which is a big difference
I love the video my friend. I have the g29 and i love it so much. I wear racing gloves because my hands broke out in blisters. Not sure why but this will not stop me from racing. Love the video
I got my g923 from second hand few months ago for 150euro and bought new shifter for 50. Also bought shifter mods for 10-15euros, making it stiffer and with longer shiftknob. Also aliexpress handbrake for 60euro and i am pretty happy with my setup. For sure, its human nature to want more, and I will upgrade my rig with DD wheel in future mos def, but as a starter - this wheel is great. Probably not for 300 tho when u can buy cammus c5 for simmilar price. Anyway, search for logitech wheels from second hand and you will not regret it.
If you got it complete with the PlayChair for Christmas as a hand me down from your cousin who just upgraded to a Fanatec setup, yes, absolutely worth it.
Lucky you, is that in the US? I'm ordering brand new one from Hungary and the G29 alone is around $250 without shifter, the shifter is $53 .-. Although the used one i saw with the shifter was altogether at $250, pricey!
Ouch, I got my G29 last year on sale for $200 USD, plus a $20 off coupone, so $180 total, then the logitech shifter brand new for about $50 USD, all had free shipping direct from the Logitech website. Then I got some gmod UK mods for the pedals, shifter, and driving wheel, cost about $40-50 total USD I think cuz I got it during a Holiday sale where it was mostly 20-25% off for everything.
Bought this one back in 2019, my first sim racing wheel and really satisfied using it for f1 and iracing. But in 2024, i think people supposed to buy the g923 and the price wasnt even far from g29 maybe about 6%-12% more pricey than g29
Hey man I'm thinking of buying a pxn v10 do you recommend it to me, I watched your review and it was amazing, I watched a few reviews as well but I trust you the most so let me know ur opinion
Yo! Just want to tell you I’m 11 and I got a g29 with shifter and a cockpit for Christmas i think it’s a great wheel for someone my age, or anybody else. But I still think it’s worth it, and the moza r3. Or r5 is a little too expensive in my opinion so the g29 is perfect for me
Unfortunately, in my country I couldn't find any DD wheels, not even a belt wheel like the thrustmaster t300, the only options I had were the g29, g920 or the 923, so I went with the g29, still waiting for it to arrive, but I'm so excited to try it since it'll be my first wheel ! I also can't order them online because it'll way too expensive for me. So I'll just enjoy the g29 as much as I can as long as it works fine
Having owned a couple g29, and even changed the wheel on one, i don't recommend it. Get something cheap with no force feedback, and if you like racing, then get a direct drive. The gear mechanism is loud and not smooth. The most important thing, is having load cell pedals. You can race without force feedback, but you can't race without proper brake inputs. Get a load cell brake and a cheap wheel, and upgrade the wheel later. Get the g29, only if you find it very cheap used.
First of, g29, second of, I own a g920, it just got too annoying with it trying to front flip off the desk so it has been gathering dust, your video inspired me to give it another shot. Do you have any recommendation on what kind of a rig I should get to stop it from trying to do flips?
I think the logitech g29 is a great wheel. with a few modifications and a little money it can improve considerably, for example I modified mine to connect more realistic steering wheels and it works very well. for me it remains the best entry level on the market.
just got mine a month ago or so and love it. Planning on keeping this thing for a long time until i can afford a direct drive setup (with sim seat and everything). The only thing i cant figure out is the rev lights. I have yet to get a single game working with the rev lights on pc
the dial on the front I found only works good in Gran Turismo games I found as every other game I have tried it in I dont like it and just avoid using it or mapping any controls to it.
Those logitechs are actually toys, all plastic and forcefeedback is weird, you allways wonder if those forces has something to do with the actual game. Had g920 for years and just some time ago bought second hand fanatec and I could never imagine go back to plastic toys.
I really would appreciate an advise... am a beginner and thinking about setting up a race sim on best budget price not looking for something expensive am looking to spend certain amount that will provide me with the best exp so wat would u guz recommend... Moreover i Like gaming and ply games daily is this really worth to spend on or will it get bored after small period of usage????
I really don't like the G29 / G920, mainly because I think it is hurting competition in the entry level segment. I wish new simracers would get a better experience for their 300 dollars. For that price it should be possible to make something either belt or direct drive that would be so much better to use. The G29 looks alright, but the force feedback is absolutely terrible. Even ignoring the low max force it is loud, rattly, imprecise and slow. That slowness makes it very unrealistic if you are used to driving in real life, especially for drifting. TL/DR: People should stop buying these so that Logitech is forced to finally ditch that horrible gear driven system and make something that can compete with cheap DD or belt driven wheels.
Simply take out the rubber stopper, close the air outlet hole of the lower sleeve with a screw and hot glue, place a thin rubber seal in the outer groove of the lower sleeve and grease it well. The air in the sleeve is now compressed when actuated and the brake can be actuated precisely. Cost: 10 cents!!! And yes, you can still buy a Logitechwheel without hesitation...
I use moza r5 on my ps5 with the ras1lution converter. It works great and it’s so affordable. I use with with VR and it’s ridiculous the amount of feedback and immersion.
It's worth it for people who can't afford $500+ for a direct drive entry level wheel. Why must something be "not worth it" because it's not as good as something that's significantly more expensive?
It's more of an explanatory type of video, and it seems to be focused towards people who don't have a low budget but are just looking for a good wheel to get, and they want an actual good wheel for racing or just... driving sims, like ETS or such. After some research for myself with a low budget, and considering i tasted a long time ago a really cheap wheel ($30 at most), i finally decided to purchase a G29, and it's going to be my first wheel ever to own just for the purpose of ETS2, but i will be playing city car driving and BeamNG, i just fell in love with driving sims all of a sudden, out of nowhere. I don't have a catch for racing sims at the moment, but i'm feeling i'll quickly develop a need to try them once i get the wheel next week, i am pumped up honestly. I had an urge to buy a new table for $200 for my setup, and just a week ago i started playing ETS2 and out of nowhere i just decided to purchase the wheel instead, i'm kinda worried i don't become way too addicted! ;D
I got lucky I started sim racing a year ago I was given the logitech g29 by a childhood friend and wow it's was amazing few months after I bought my first dd wheel the fanatec gt dd pro and my goodness. But as for the g29 I feel like its a good starter wheel for the weaker force feedback but not at the current price I would try to find a refurbished.
@aezakmi3314 not an american, ended up with some thrustmaster pedals for now instead of second hand wheel, also the cable is not replaceable. And why u answering after 8 months?
@@truphot1 idk,im just saying fixing them would take be about 15 min.,in europe we have a tradition to fix everything rather than buying new stuff,that is what i was trying to say
hey i have a question for someone to ask. Can the steering wheel mount easy to like a ottoman? I have my PS5 in my living room and i like it there so im wondering.
Cammus C5 has more than 8Nm peak torque and 5Nm holding torque. Fanatec and others producers always declare peak torque so Cammus C5 has more than 8 Nm in the common talking way. C5 cost is so low that the truth is that it destroyed the market of low budget wheels with a stunning 8+Nm direct drive wheel, thinking about a G29 2.x Nm belt driven is a nonsense in 2024. I am surprised this is not so evident here.
Bonjour, bonne petite base , solide et fiable (plus de 3000 heures d'utilisation) fonctionne très bien quand il est bien configuré par les jeux, très bon rapport qualité et prix,je recommande au débutant.ideal pour les joueurs de console,plug and play.😻
Do YOU think the G29 is still worth it in 2024?
Short answer yeah definitely is there better nicer sure but this will surprise you as an entry level wheel Fantastic video of all the benefits of this wheel tho straight up
Nah! Way too many cheap DD wheels on the market to go buy a crappy, noisy, gear-driven wheel with no detail.

if your in a 3rd world country then g29 is worth it , the price difference is crazy and you cant even find a different wheel other than the g29

Unfortunately, in my country I couldn't find any DD wheels, not even a belt wheel like the thrustmaster t300, the only options I had were the g29, g920 or the 923, so I went with the g29, still waiting for it to arrive, but I'm so excited to try it since it'll be my first wheel ! I also can't order them online because it'll way too expensive for me. So I'll just enjoy the g29 as much as I can as long as it works fine
In the us, where i live cost 150$ but in 3rd world countries it costs from 300$ to 400$ thats just crazy
Having owned a couple g29, and even changed the wheel on one, i don't recommend it. Get something cheap with no force feedback, and if you like racing, then get a direct drive. The gear mechanism is loud and not smooth. The most important thing, is having load cell pedals. You can race without force feedback, but you can't race without proper brake inputs. Get a load cell brake and a cheap wheel, and upgrade the wheel later.
Get the g29, only if you find it very cheap used.
First of, g29, second of, I own a g920, it just got too annoying with it trying to front flip off the desk so it has been gathering dust, your video inspired me to give it another shot.
Do you have any recommendation on what kind of a rig I should get to stop it from trying to do flips?
I just got one, second hand. Wheel and shifter for 3000 MXN (approximately $150 USD) Do you think was a good deal?
The brake spring in the g923 pedals is different from the one in g29
What is the best
@@z3ro7o g923 with the progressive spring
is definitely better.
Very Good review! Really enjoyed watching it 'G29'
In my country only the base is cost 3x more than that wheel. Fun fact is DD's wheel is costs more than the whole g29 with shifter lmao.
I think the logitech g29 is a great wheel. with a few modifications and a little money it can improve considerably, for example I modified mine to connect more realistic steering wheels and it works very well. for me it remains the best entry level on the market.
just got mine a month ago or so and love it. Planning on keeping this thing for a long time until i can afford a direct drive setup (with sim seat and everything).
The only thing i cant figure out is the rev lights. I have yet to get a single game working with the rev lights on pc
What game are you playing with it?
I love my g923 and would love to have a direct drive but for the price I can't lol
the dial on the front I found only works good in Gran Turismo games I found as every other game I have tried it in I dont like it and just avoid using it or mapping any controls to it.
Yay can't believe I'm early.... I love your videos, keep up the good work!!
Thanks much appreciated! 🤩
@@GeekStreet do you reckon the G29 would support force feedback on F1 2024 as well?
@@adheebrifkhan yes pretty sure it would
Mine is coming in tomorrow, its my first wheel and I cannot wait at all
They raised the price on their website to 500$, the Moza R5 bundle costs the same
can you review the new pxn v99, yes it uses the same hub as the v10 but it has a new paddles and a bigger wheel. cheers m8
Those logitechs are actually toys, all plastic and forcefeedback is weird, you allways wonder if those forces has something to do with the actual game. Had g920 for years and just some time ago bought second hand fanatec and I could never imagine go back to plastic toys.
Great review!
I really would appreciate an advise... am a beginner and thinking about setting up a race sim on best budget price not looking for something expensive am looking to spend certain amount that will provide me with the best exp so wat would u guz recommend... Moreover i Like gaming and ply games daily is this really worth to spend on or will it get bored after small period of usage????
Absolute solid bulletproof beginner wheel
Then what must I buy? Cammus C5 or G29 ? (as my first wheel ofc)
C5 no question
Can you give some reasoning? C5 has it's own flaws like bad pedals and no smaller shifter paddles which the G29 does not have.?@@sirwhippamus
Yup is my first wheel and is definitely still worth it to me
Im planning on getting the G923, ran into too many issues with the PXN V10, sent it back after a couple of days...'G29'
I really don't like the G29 / G920, mainly because I think it is hurting competition in the entry level segment. I wish new simracers would get a better experience for their 300 dollars.
For that price it should be possible to make something either belt or direct drive that would be so much better to use. The G29 looks alright, but the force feedback is absolutely terrible. Even ignoring the low max force it is loud, rattly, imprecise and slow. That slowness makes it very unrealistic if you are used to driving in real life, especially for drifting.
TL/DR: People should stop buying these so that Logitech is forced to finally ditch that horrible gear driven system and make something that can compete with cheap DD or belt driven wheels.
Here in my country this wheel is very popular bec the cost of DD is very high even the cheapest DD models.
'G29' great review!! thanks!
🤩
The brake springs are changeable aswell
Yeah I did a mods video showing that 👌
@@GeekStreet yeah I was just surprised you didn't give it a tiny mention
Simply take out the rubber stopper, close the air outlet hole of the lower sleeve with a screw and hot glue, place a thin rubber seal in the outer groove of the lower sleeve and grease it well. The air in the sleeve is now compressed when actuated and the brake can be actuated precisely. Cost: 10 cents!!!
And yes, you can still buy a Logitechwheel without hesitation...
got mine for just 200 bucks! brand new as well
🤯
If you dont have a higher budget, it is worth it. It is solid for its price.
I use moza r5 on my ps5 with the ras1lution converter. It works great and it’s so affordable. I use with with VR and it’s ridiculous the amount of feedback and immersion.
So should you recommend this because I’m looking for a direct drive wheel for ps5
@@ransomsdp yes highly recommend. You need the ras1lution adapter though
i think im just gonna get a t300rs gt
It's worth it for people who can't afford $500+ for a direct drive entry level wheel. Why must something be "not worth it" because it's not as good as something that's significantly more expensive?
It's more of an explanatory type of video, and it seems to be focused towards people who don't have a low budget but are just looking for a good wheel to get, and they want an actual good wheel for racing or just... driving sims, like ETS or such.
After some research for myself with a low budget, and considering i tasted a long time ago a really cheap wheel ($30 at most), i finally decided to purchase a G29, and it's going to be my first wheel ever to own just for the purpose of ETS2, but i will be playing city car driving and BeamNG, i just fell in love with driving sims all of a sudden, out of nowhere. I don't have a catch for racing sims at the moment, but i'm feeling i'll quickly develop a need to try them once i get the wheel next week, i am pumped up honestly.
I had an urge to buy a new table for $200 for my setup, and just a week ago i started playing ETS2 and out of nowhere i just decided to purchase the wheel instead, i'm kinda worried i don't become way too addicted! ;D
Mine looks so different now due to modding... i love my custom rim.
Maybe in a year or two ill upgrade.
I've got the wheel, pedals plus the shifter and with Astro A10 headset for 330 euros in 2022 summer.
Does the crew motorfest support force feedback
I got lucky I started sim racing a year ago I was given the logitech g29 by a childhood friend and wow it's was amazing few months after I bought my first dd wheel the fanatec gt dd pro and my goodness. But as for the g29 I feel like its a good starter wheel for the weaker force feedback but not at the current price I would try to find a refurbished.
thanks for the review
I don't see the link for the list of games that are compatible with force feedback
My bad, I've added the link to the Logitech G website
@@GeekStreet thanks for getting right to it 💯👍
my g29 pedals dont work anymore, their cable got destroyed even though i didnt use it for some months ill probably buy a new wheel soon
@aezakmi3314 not an american, ended up with some thrustmaster pedals for now instead of second hand wheel, also the cable is not replaceable. And why u answering after 8 months?
@@truphot1 idk,im just saying fixing them would take be about 15 min.,in europe we have a tradition to fix everything rather than buying new stuff,that is what i was trying to say
@@aezakmi3314 its not a normal cable though, would have fixed it but the cable didnt ship to here when i chcked
g29
hi i am from egypt
I want to buy a steering wheel, which is the best?
I say go for the Logitech G Pro racing wheel
hey i have a question for someone to ask. Can the steering wheel mount easy to like a ottoman? I have my PS5 in my living room and i like it there so im wondering.
It can't
Is there much input delay on PS4 with a Logitech G923 and standard Tv. PLEASE help me
I think if you can get it 2nd hand, for cheap, it's definitely worth it!
Currently on sale Am azon Prime £170 Got one to replace my old Driving Force Pro.
I got mine for 180$ on amazon prime day worth it
'G29'
Thanks for the comprehensive review
can you rev match with this?
Cammus C5 has more than 8Nm peak torque and 5Nm holding torque. Fanatec and others producers always declare peak torque so Cammus C5 has more than 8 Nm in the common talking way. C5 cost is so low that the truth is that it destroyed the market of low budget wheels with a stunning 8+Nm direct drive wheel, thinking about a G29 2.x Nm belt driven is a nonsense in 2024. I am surprised this is not so evident here.
I Love G29 my dream wheel
this thing is always worth it because you can upgrade it to feel like its a over 1000 euros set for like extra 150 euros
@@lighnr with what?
@@flosa1995 Truebrake mod, shifter mod from 10$ and a metal plate that goes inside the wheel base to make it a bit quieter (third party stuff)
'G29' tnx for the video, im yet to buy my first racing wheel so i'm just collecting opinions cheers!
🤩
I'm really enjoying my G29
Compatibility is the problem, we PS5 pro owners can't just purchase any wheels 🙄.
Bonjour, bonne petite base , solide et fiable (plus de 3000 heures d'utilisation) fonctionne très bien quand il est bien configuré par les jeux, très bon rapport qualité et prix,je recommande au débutant.ideal pour les joueurs de console,plug and play.😻
Does the g29 work on ps5
