Happy to have some nice add on peripheral options available to pair with my Logitech edition Playseat Trophy. Thanks will for giving another great in depth review. lol at Fanatec and all its issues. Seeing this all go down now and my many friends horror stories has reaffirmed my choice going with Logitech
im so happy with the adapter and its price.. im not bothered about true force and on pc the only eco system i care about is wheels.. this adapter opens the door to the entire sim racing wheel market.. gonna have to try and not get carried away
i have fanatec and have had 0 issues. for the price of the logitech g pro, i would go simagic and have a way better wheelbase and way better ecosystem.
Because pros in all racing categories put sequentials nowadays because it's just superior in every way ;) To be clear, I would LOVE a pro line H pattern shifter, but I'm not too upset because it's a 2 In 1 which is awesome! They better bring an H pattern pro line, which they hinted they would.

Well done Will and team! Boosted Media got the gold sticker from Logi to be the first to drop the new ecosystem additions! This is why I’m subscribed. Fully detailed and completely unbiased.
I've had my dd pro for two years and it is excellent. Still perfect feel, strength, no clipping, and looks brand new. My first wheel base had a grindy roller button when I got it, complained about it in logitech help chat and they literally overnighted a new hub and just let me keep the original. My fanatec shitshifter has been RMA'd three times and twice they didn't even open the box (with literal months between getting it back) I shipped it in and just sent it back. I've had better customer service from pimps than fanatec.
Thanks for this. In terms of the new hub vs the original wheel, I like how they have rotated the right hand encoder. The analog paddles look to have been replaced by a new button on each side and I've never really used the analog paddles so this might be a good change. I quite like the look of the smaller wheel. And great to see new wheels added, I was really excited when I updated the firmware earlier today and noticed that compatibility for new peripherals was one of the changes :)
too little too late on Logitech when i purchased my gpro pedals i fell in love with the product and was desperate for more ,i ran those pedals with my g920 for a year hoping new wheels and a shifter would come to market for the pro line ...... now i have a full moza kit and even though i am extremely happy with my R9 i would of preferred to stay in the logitech eco system
Too little, too late. They took so long that they lost me as a nearly 20-year Logitech Fanboy. I had logitech everything. Just bought a moza base 2 months ago, after nearly 15 years with my g27, it finally gave up on me. I wanted to stay with Logitech, as my g27 treated me very well for a loooooong time. but they were just too slow moving. I have zero interest in flat bottom wheels. In the time that it took them to put out a shifter, a wheel plate and some wheels. Moza has put out half a dozen different bases countless peripherals and have even gotten into flight sim. My moneys gone to the company that is putting in effort
I'm no Logitech fanboy (currently on an older Thrustmaster belt-driven, considering DD options and honestly leaning towards Moza) but I will say Logitech has so many other products they need to attend to, like 100's of models of mice, keyboards, headsets, webcams, etc. Their attention is already spread too thin, while Moza has the time to put all these sim racing/flight options out because its the only market they're in. That being said, which Moza base did you end up with? I'm definitely ready for the DD upgrade 😆
@@duquetteroxxI grabbed the r9 and a Logitech hub to reuse my old modded pedals and shifter for now. As the SRP pedals seem terrible and the CRPS were overpriced to me if I'm being honest. Contemplating if I another company's pedals, or do a hydraulic upgrade to my Logitech pedals. I was excited for the crp2s, but the inverted option with a clutch pedal is $1,000 Canadian before taxes 😣 But being as large of a company as Logitech is, there's no reason that they cannot dedicate a team solely to the Sim racing division.
I’ve just ordered the Xbox wheel hub and the round wheel and the formula wheel from the UK store. This is great as I have the PlayStation wheelbase and will now be able to use it on my Xbox as well. The Handbrake/shifter is up for preorder and is due on the 30th September so I’ll be ordering that nearer the time. Thank you Logitech for finally providing this support…better late than never. 🙏
When I use a sequential, I also use my handbrake. This seems an expensive way to have both. Fanatec having a sequential and H pattern combined seems the more sensible decision.
I am still hoping that they will have more impressive items to show off at ADAC (USE THE MCLAREN PARTNERSHIP!!! LOGITECH HAS BEEN PARTNERED WITH MCLAREN FOR FORZA CHALLENGE FOR HOW LONG?!!). The RS hub seems like its supposed to be an "accessible" way to get a new rim and the better rims will be more expensive.
I think this is the first video on this. I've been holding out on taking the G PRO plunge but after a year on my first wheel, a G923 I'm feeling anxious now. Thanks for this
So happy to see this , still somewhat new into the sim world, absolutely love the G Pro setup onto Next Level rig , just purchased 2 shifters to start just sad have to wait till mid October for shipment. Really enjoy the original wheel but imagine I'll snag the new one strictly for GT7 with the VR. Glad I came across your videos, just wish it was a few weeks back definitely would have used your codes in support but started today with the shifters🍻
So the RS Hub seems to lack the clutch paddles. Seems like a major oversight to either not include a version with them for more cash or make the rims compatible with orginal wheel. Now I wheel like the original wheel is useless, I would prefer clutch paddles for GT or F1 racing. Meanwhile the orginal wheel is better suited for Rally and less suited than Track Wheel with GT racing. Also there is no F1 rim! People would still buy the Hub, if they plan to use more than 1 rim, just for convenience. I know that I did, I do play a lot of Rally, GT, F1 and some drifting, so not going to be fiddling with screws everytime I swap from Rally to F1. So new Hub was mandatory anyway for new rim. But now I don’t get clutch paddles for F1 or GT games… I would suggest Logitech to make another proper hub just with paddles. Make it 50-100€ more and people would still buy it. Also make a F1 rim for it.
Would love 3d printed rims for the orginal wheel. The lack of paddles on the new rim, kind of killed the hype for me. They should also made the rims for people who got the orginal wheel 😢already
Really excited about this, still waiting to pull the trigger on this wheel until my financial situation allows it but definitely kick starting the excitement again 😁
People are complaining about the long wait and underwhelming offering, rightfully so, but there's just nothing that comes close to the pro wheel to the price, trueforce really is a game changer. I can't claim to have tried out all the high end wheelbases but the Moza r12 doesn't even come close to logitech. Hopefully they keep coming out with new stuff but even without it the pro wheel is so good, they've really got us by the balls.
the truth about no dual paddles is that the xbox can only support a certain number of buttons and analog sticks, and they were either too sluggish or didnt want to spend the cost to make the PC model different. we got buttons on the front, we lost paddles on the back. I'm also not really a fan of having only hubs with rims instead of dedicated wheels for different uses. aesthetics matter to some point and although these dont necessarily look bad, it just looks like the same thing with a rim bolted on. it doesnt sell me on the product more than before. its a shame because I was considering going this route to upgrade from my moza r5 if the new wheels were good, but I see no reason to leave the moza ecosystem now. it basically took them 2 years to make a different shaped rim and add no functionality.
I've been running the same g29 since 2018 and beat it up a lot during the lockdown timeframe. There are no real issues, but I have wanted to upgrade. This RS series update to the eco system may well be the reason to finally pull the trigger on DD.
Many people are saying that Logitech’s Pro Wheel and Pedals are expensive. First you need to make sure you are comparing like products. What I mean is if you look at Fanatec and you were to compare GT DD pro (5NM) to Logitech Pro (11NM), the Fanatec is cheaper but also not as strong and lacks TrueForce. So it’s not a 1 to 1 comparison. The same would apply if you were to compare the GT DD pro (8NM) to the Logitech Pro, and that still doesn’t account for the difference in pedals (CSL vs Log Pro pedals). Now, if you were to compare more alike products like the Fanatec GT DD extreme or Clubsport Racing Wheel F1 (both DD+ wheelbase) to the Logitech Pro wheel base you would have a more fair comparison. Fanatec Extreme is 15Nm compared to the Logitech 11Nm, Extreme wheel is plastic, and flimsy compared to the Pro wheel, and Extreme is $1,300 compared to Log Pro $1,000. Well, that’s only the wheel and base, not pedals. If you were to factor pedals into the mix the Fanatec V3 pedals are slightly better than Logitech Pro Pedals, but are also $400, whereas Logi Pro pedals are $350. So now you have a complete setup compared to a complete setup, totaling Fantac $1,700 to Logitech $1350, now add in that Logitech often has a 15% discount code knocking theirs down to $1,150. You have fanatic at $1,700 for a wheelbase that’s 15NM, plastic wheel, FullForce (that’s doesn’t currently work), and V3 pedals (which are very nice). Compared to Logitech Pro wheelbase that’s 11Nm, extremely nice wheel (although more options earlier would have been nice), TrueForce (that works with 19 different titles), and Pro pedals (almost as good as V3s) for $1,150. Not sure if we compare apples to apples if Logitech is more expensive really. Add in Fanatec’s shifter at $260, to the Logitech’s shifter now at $150 and still a comparable setup is still cheaper with Logitech. I’m not sure if many people know they can use a 15% code to reduce the cost and make Logitech comparisons to other brands much better. I don’t know Moza’s lineup well enough to compare apples to apples to be fair. However, just looking at their lineup: Moza R9 V2 base 9NM $400, Moza R12 base12NM $500, R3 Bundle 3.9 NM $400 without loadcell brake (compatible w/Xbox), Moza R5 5.5NM $510, and their R9 and R12 bundles range from $700-$1,200 The important note here is that many bundles are cheaper, but that’s also most likely because they are not licensed with Xbox and PS5. If they were licensed with a security chip their bundles would be much more expensive. So, comparing apples to apples Logitech may not seem so expensive compared to the other brands, and performance is amazing.
On the RS1 hub, the 2 extra buttons ‘replace’ the analog paddles from the original G Pro wheel. While majorly unfortunate for PC users, this makes sense from a console compatibility PoV, where the triggers on game controllers can be either analog or digital, depending on what the game requires. The clutch paddles are the analogs for these L1 and R1 inputs. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Logitech is planning to have a more premium and expensive formula/prototype optimized wheel hub (FS1?..) down the line (i.e. late 2025 release) with clutch paddles, to accompany an H-pattern shifter, with both serving more niche markets, as part of “phase 3” of the ecosystem (provided the sales of “phase 2” warranting a future expansion). The initial launch of the G Pro DD wheelbase, wheel and pedals being “phase 1”, the current RS1 wheel hub and rims, as well as the Sq-shifter/Handbrake, being “phase 2”.
this is a huge jump for Logitech but i had tons of issues with G29 pedals myself they where poorly made the wheel always worked well but had to fix the pedals on a regular basis to keep stuff functioning properly as where my Moza CRP pedals have held together with no issues for the last 15mths. really like the Moza line and they just keep growing and making changes to there eco systems.
Picked up a combo that I'm sure is going to be popular: The QR adapter and the Simagic GT Neo. Works like a dream. Already looking at picking up one or two more of the adapters just to have for when I feel the need to get more wheels. Went with the Pro because I primarily run ovals and didn't need much else other than the default rim for my day-to-day, but being able to branch out and have more specialized wheels(or the ability to get nicer wheels for ovals lol) is always a good thing and I'm glad that they had the foresight to release such an easy to use adapter.
we wanted a pro shifter, and logitech delivering a sequential shifter is just a slap to all the people waiting for a pro H-pattern shifter. I mean, Fanatec did a clever thing (RIP) but come on... I'm beginning to think that the H pattern will never come to fruition...
The funniest slap in the face about Logitech's DD wheelbase... If you think about it. They are using a quick release that seems to be a well designed version of Fanatec's QR1. And there is absolutely no talk of the quick release being sub standard. 😂😂😂
Finally....it took so long I literally took a circular saw to my D shaped rim and turned it into a track/gt wheel by slicing off the middle 10 or so inches....then wrapped the entire wheel a 1/8 inch neoprene layer with racket tape as the final layer thickening the rim and making it less rock hard....i actually love it now
they could simply add console support to the universal hub by having you wire a controller to one of the USB ports then allows you to use the controller in wired mode via the wheel base, that way you have acsess to the buttons needed to activate it on console, like one of the Universal USB wheel adapters you can buy to add console compatibility to any wheel base.
I’ve had a G25 for many years. It held up well. Still is working with windows 11 with some work. Nice to see Logitech is finally stepping up their sim racing setups. Might have to finally upgrade my setup 😂.
Is the quality product in the room with us? We got a hub that is almost identical to the one that already came with the pro wheel and some metal cutouts that have some rubber grips. Moza and 3rd parties do the same thing for half the price in a quarter of the time.
@@CrazyChiefXxXMoza took the spotlight because they copied all of Fanatec’s technology using questionable business practices. If you have to support a Chinese company, at least pick the one playing fair, Simagic.
@@CrazyChiefXxXI would say Logitech already lost, it took them way too long, everybody picked Fanatec, or Moza meanwhile and when Logitech finally released something Fanatec already sorted out the insolvency and with Corsair it probably be stronger than ever.
@@CrazyChiefXxX with the announcement of the acquisition by corsair, I'm pretty sure consumers will buy their products again. I myself am just waiting to see how it goes while I try to decide between the moza r12 and simagic alpha mini. The clubsport DD is back on the map for me
Sorry, maybe a stupid question and I just zoned out and missed it, but do the new wheels fit on to the old/original hub? Tempted to get one and replace the D with something else - and still keep the additional paddle shifts on the original hub.
For me the launch wheel was perfect so wasn't as desperate as some for more options but have to say they look really good and dripping with quality just like the original .Shame about the analog paddles but tbh I've never used mine [tho I like having the choice ]....Shifter/hand brake looks like a real winner too and £159 is an amazing... price Hats off to Logitech.!
Really like the looks of it. But the RS Hub is a downgrade compared to original wheel. So I decided to cancel the Hub after initial hype in my mind settled down. Until we get more Rims for it, would like a 300-320mm round wheel and 280-290 F1 wheel.
They did that so they don't need to make two.... They did the same for shifter/ebrake, so I guess this is their path. Generic shit that suits most purposes. Not saying that's a bad idea either to be honest. I only have one wheel, and it's a perfectly round rally wheel. I only play in VR and I never see it, so it always feels right no matter what I drive, be it rally car, drifting or GT cars.
Gotta thank MOZA for shaking shit up and not letting off the gas, they've pretty much made the old guards lifting and coasting a financially terrible decision even on the entry level side.
Regarding the Fanatec QR1, I might have won the tolerance lottery, but my DD Pro shaft and 2 different QR1s have perfect fit. All 3 products have been purchased about 6-9 months apart, so definitely different batches.
I love my GPro. I play on my pc Acc, iRacing and the TrueForce is amazing! I stopped playing AM2 because there’s no TF. It’s so boring without it. I just got the new next level formula lite pro so I was hoping Logitech to release a Gt wheel 🎉 🙌🏽
In what circumstances do you need a handbrake but not also a sequential shifter at the same time? I don’t see how this being a handbrake would ever be useful unless you bought two of them, but at that point they may as well be separate products.
It's kind of wild that after two years, these are the only accessories that we're getting. The G Pro wheel and pedals are a tremendous bit of kit, but the Logitech ecosystem is being held back by sheer incompetence from the company itself. If you're a predominantly console user, then there's zero reason to opt for Logitech over Fanatec. Obviously if you're a PC user then you're probably looking at any number of better options already.
I disagree. Takes time to make quality products and I’m glad Logitech isn’t just throwing stuff out there as fast as possible like some other companies.
My problem with Logitech is the software not the hardware. They are great for getting in games as standard but I had an update to GHuB render my G920 useless for months which put me off their wheels. Went Asetek Forte in the end.
@boostedmedia is it possible to use the hub from the original wheel with the track wheel? they look roughly the same shape but I can't tell from the video. If I could get away without having to buy a 2nd hub i'd prefer that
As late as it might be, with Corsair(their direct competitor in peripherals) now owning Fanatec, this might actually be perfect timing for them to put some new competing products out.
I'm guess Logitech will later come out with a more expensive universal hub with buttons that has the same QR as the original wheel as the one shown it looks like they have made a cost cut version to get the price lower but it was nice how the original wheel QR worked as its so smooth and easy to take on and off.
They are likely working on(or already have) a H shifter and a F1 wheel with paddle shift and dual clutches added back, Companies have to stagger their release of products to keep things moving and customers spending money. Apple brings out a new phone every year and add a couple of features to make everyone want to upgrade, car companies do this also. It sucks for us consumers, but it is the best business decision.
you need a little metal plate to bring the handbrake more to the left so it will be offset compared to the shifter and then your are golden. Bringin it over just 2 inches would be enough
@@bfstudios9163 I’ve waited a long time for an ecosystem from Logitech, but I’m not disappointed with the rally wheel and sequential shifter and handbrake product because I mostly do a lot of rally driving greetings from Canada by the way
People try to defend Logitech by saying it takes time to bring forth new products. Logitech have had sim racing, and flight peripherals, for many moons, and they've had many moons to stay up to date, and release up to date sim equipment. But they chose not to because sim racing, and obviously flight, is not a priority to them. In the grand scheme of things, it's a small market and they don't care about the noise simmers make. Their attitude is one of, we make what we want, when we want, and if you don't like it, don't buy it. Those people that try to defend Logitech need to realize something, we age forwards, not backwards. People should not buy a wheel base, and then have to wait two years for proper steering wheels to come out. Not from a company that has been in the business a long time. And no matter how good the new shifter may be, it's still not what most people asked for, and of course, Logitech didn't listen. Why wait years for products to come out when other manufacturers already have it out. Like I said, we age forwards, not backwards. It will probably be another two years before an H shifter appears, and if it comes out much sooner, it will be a miracle. I would suggest that people who are already sim racing, look elsewhere for sim products, as it's not a priority for Logitech. Waiting years for products to come out, that should've been come out, is a waste of your time, and life. With that said, the new Logitech sim racing products seem good, but the wait times are horrendous.
If you want to know something is going to last 5 plus years you need to test it for at least one year if not more. I think they released as soon as they could while still ensuring quality.
Hi Will. Does the rims have the standard 70mm bolt pattern? Not sure if I missed it in the review. Just wondering if I could pair the rim to another button box.
Logitech is a sponsor of McLaren F1 team. Why, why, why we didn't get a branded formula style wheel? It's a no brainer for me.

Yup I was strongly interested in Moza , but was waiting to upgrade my pc first , and now I'm going with logitech
I'm no Logitech fanboy (currently on an older Thrustmaster belt-driven, considering DD options and honestly leaning towards Moza) but I will say Logitech has so many other products they need to attend to, like 100's of models of mice, keyboards, headsets, webcams, etc. Their attention is already spread too thin, while Moza has the time to put all these sim racing/flight options out because its the only market they're in.
That being said, which Moza base did you end up with? I'm definitely ready for the DD upgrade 😆
@@michaelbolton7477Why? The Logitech stuff still looks crap. Moza, simagic, asetek are all better options
@@duquetteroxxI grabbed the r9 and a Logitech hub to reuse my old modded pedals and shifter for now. As the SRP pedals seem terrible and the CRPS were overpriced to me if I'm being honest. Contemplating if I another company's pedals, or do a hydraulic upgrade to my Logitech pedals. I was excited for the crp2s, but the inverted option with a clutch pedal is $1,000 Canadian before taxes 😣
But being as large of a company as Logitech is, there's no reason that they cannot dedicate a team solely to the Sim racing division.
@@michaelbolton7477don’t go to Logitech.
I’ve just ordered the Xbox wheel hub and the round wheel and the formula wheel from the UK store. This is great as I have the PlayStation wheelbase and will now be able to use it on my Xbox as well. The Handbrake/shifter is up for preorder and is due on the 30th September so I’ll be ordering that nearer the time. Thank you Logitech for finally providing this support…better late than never. 🙏
Looking great!
When I use a sequential, I also use my handbrake. This seems an expensive way to have both.
Fanatec having a sequential and H pattern combined seems the more sensible decision.
I am still hoping that they will have more impressive items to show off at ADAC (USE THE MCLAREN PARTNERSHIP!!! LOGITECH HAS BEEN PARTNERED WITH MCLAREN FOR FORZA CHALLENGE FOR HOW LONG?!!). The RS hub seems like its supposed to be an "accessible" way to get a new rim and the better rims will be more expensive.
Yes please h-pattern sequential combo! Same price, id buy 1 of these, and 1 of these for shifting and 1 of these for handbrake
I think this is the first video on this. I've been holding out on taking the G PRO plunge but after a year on my first wheel, a G923 I'm feeling anxious now. Thanks for this
So happy to see this , still somewhat new into the sim world, absolutely love the G Pro setup onto Next Level rig , just purchased 2 shifters to start just sad have to wait till mid October for shipment. Really enjoy the original wheel but imagine I'll snag the new one strictly for GT7 with the VR.
Glad I came across your videos, just wish it was a few weeks back definitely would have used your codes in support but started today with the shifters🍻
So the RS Hub seems to lack the clutch paddles. Seems like a major oversight to either not include a version with them for more cash or make the rims compatible with orginal wheel.
Now I wheel like the original wheel is useless, I would prefer clutch paddles for GT or F1 racing. Meanwhile the orginal wheel is better suited for Rally and less suited than Track Wheel with GT racing.
Also there is no F1 rim!
People would still buy the Hub, if they plan to use more than 1 rim, just for convenience. I know that I did, I do play a lot of Rally, GT, F1 and some drifting, so not going to be fiddling with screws everytime I swap from Rally to F1. So new Hub was mandatory anyway for new rim. But now I don’t get clutch paddles for F1 or GT games…
I would suggest Logitech to make another proper hub just with paddles. Make it 50-100€ more and people would still buy it. Also make a F1 rim for it.
Those hubs are not going to be a problem for those 3d printers out there .
Have been saying that with my guys by this time next year 3D printers will have at least a dozen models
Too bad the hub is garbage though. Two new buttons on the hub in two years.
Would love 3d printed rims for the orginal wheel.
The lack of paddles on the new rim, kind of killed the hype for me.
They should also made the rims for people who got the orginal wheel 😢already
@@DoubleKlutchRacing It's not even more buttons, it's just from analog shifters to just push buttons.
You’re the man! On top of it!
Order placed for their track rim and hub with code BOOSTED . Thank you Will for the in-depth review.
Excellent review, super in depth and knowledgeable.
Thanks mate :)
Really excited about this, still waiting to pull the trigger on this wheel until my financial situation allows it but definitely kick starting the excitement again 😁
People are complaining about the long wait and underwhelming offering, rightfully so, but there's just nothing that comes close to the pro wheel to the price, trueforce really is a game changer. I can't claim to have tried out all the high end wheelbases but the Moza r12 doesn't even come close to logitech. Hopefully they keep coming out with new stuff but even without it the pro wheel is so good, they've really got us by the balls.
Yea people sleep on the Pro...I've had mine almost two years now and it still impresses me
the truth about no dual paddles is that the xbox can only support a certain number of buttons and analog sticks, and they were either too sluggish or didnt want to spend the cost to make the PC model different. we got buttons on the front, we lost paddles on the back.
I'm also not really a fan of having only hubs with rims instead of dedicated wheels for different uses. aesthetics matter to some point and although these dont necessarily look bad, it just looks like the same thing with a rim bolted on. it doesnt sell me on the product more than before.
its a shame because I was considering going this route to upgrade from my moza r5 if the new wheels were good, but I see no reason to leave the moza ecosystem now. it basically took them 2 years to make a different shaped rim and add no functionality.
I just got the RS QR with a 370mm Momo Prototipo and loving the experience!
that Ascher racing mclaren wheel looks awesome. But sticker shock hit when I saw the price.
I could see some small shop hobbyist making a machined new shifter rod to allow for standard aftermarket shift knobs.
I love the blue on this gear 💙
I've been running the same g29 since 2018 and beat it up a lot during the lockdown timeframe. There are no real issues, but I have wanted to upgrade. This RS series update to the eco system may well be the reason to finally pull the trigger on DD.
Many people are saying that Logitech’s Pro Wheel and Pedals are expensive. First you need to make sure you are comparing like products. What I mean is if you look at Fanatec and you were to compare GT DD pro (5NM) to Logitech Pro (11NM), the Fanatec is cheaper but also not as strong and lacks TrueForce. So it’s not a 1 to 1 comparison. The same would apply if you were to compare the GT DD pro (8NM) to the Logitech Pro, and that still doesn’t account for the difference in pedals (CSL vs Log Pro pedals). Now, if you were to compare more alike products like the Fanatec GT DD extreme or Clubsport Racing Wheel F1 (both DD+ wheelbase) to the Logitech Pro wheel base you would have a more fair comparison. Fanatec Extreme is 15Nm compared to the Logitech 11Nm, Extreme wheel is plastic, and flimsy compared to the Pro wheel, and Extreme is $1,300 compared to Log Pro $1,000. Well, that’s only the wheel and base, not pedals. If you were to factor pedals into the mix the Fanatec V3 pedals are slightly better than Logitech Pro Pedals, but are also $400, whereas Logi Pro pedals are $350. So now you have a complete setup compared to a complete setup, totaling Fantac $1,700 to Logitech $1350, now add in that Logitech often has a 15% discount code knocking theirs down to $1,150. You have fanatic at $1,700 for a wheelbase that’s 15NM, plastic wheel, FullForce (that’s doesn’t currently work), and V3 pedals (which are very nice). Compared to Logitech Pro wheelbase that’s 11Nm, extremely nice wheel (although more options earlier would have been nice), TrueForce (that works with 19 different titles), and Pro pedals (almost as good as V3s) for $1,150. Not sure if we compare apples to apples if Logitech is more expensive really. Add in Fanatec’s shifter at $260, to the Logitech’s shifter now at $150 and still a comparable setup is still cheaper with Logitech. I’m not sure if many people know they can use a 15% code to reduce the cost and make Logitech comparisons to other brands much better.
I don’t know Moza’s lineup well enough to compare apples to apples to be fair. However, just looking at their lineup: Moza R9 V2 base 9NM $400, Moza R12 base12NM $500, R3 Bundle 3.9 NM $400 without loadcell brake (compatible w/Xbox), Moza R5 5.5NM $510, and their R9 and R12 bundles range from $700-$1,200
The important note here is that many bundles are cheaper, but that’s also most likely because they are not licensed with Xbox and PS5. If they were licensed with a security chip their bundles would be much more expensive. So, comparing apples to apples Logitech may not seem so expensive compared to the other brands, and performance is amazing.

On the RS1 hub, the 2 extra buttons ‘replace’ the analog paddles from the original G Pro wheel.
While majorly unfortunate for PC users, this makes sense from a console compatibility PoV, where the triggers on game controllers can be either analog or digital, depending on what the game requires. The clutch paddles are the analogs for these L1 and R1 inputs.
That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Logitech is planning to have a more premium and expensive formula/prototype optimized wheel hub (FS1?..) down the line (i.e. late 2025 release) with clutch paddles, to accompany an H-pattern shifter, with both serving more niche markets, as part of “phase 3” of the ecosystem (provided the sales of “phase 2” warranting a future expansion).
The initial launch of the G Pro DD wheelbase, wheel and pedals being “phase 1”, the current RS1 wheel hub and rims, as well as the Sq-shifter/Handbrake, being “phase 2”.
this is a huge jump for Logitech but i had tons of issues with G29 pedals myself they where poorly made the wheel always worked well but had to fix the pedals on a regular basis to keep stuff functioning properly as where my Moza CRP pedals have held together with no issues for the last 15mths. really like the Moza line and they just keep growing and making changes to there eco systems.
Imagine living in a world where it doesn't matter what brand or device you buy they are ALL compatible on the PC, PS and XBOX. Ah, one can dream
Never happen too much greed out there
didn't mention the price but in the UK the new wheel (rim + hub + base) is significantly (£180 - 18%) cheaper than the old g-pro setup
Picked up a combo that I'm sure is going to be popular: The QR adapter and the Simagic GT Neo. Works like a dream. Already looking at picking up one or two more of the adapters just to have for when I feel the need to get more wheels. Went with the Pro because I primarily run ovals and didn't need much else other than the default rim for my day-to-day, but being able to branch out and have more specialized wheels(or the ability to get nicer wheels for ovals lol) is always a good thing and I'm glad that they had the foresight to release such an easy to use adapter.
we wanted a pro shifter, and logitech delivering a sequential shifter is just a slap to all the people waiting for a pro H-pattern shifter. I mean, Fanatec did a clever thing (RIP) but come on... I'm beginning to think that the H pattern will never come to fruition...
The funniest slap in the face about Logitech's DD wheelbase...
If you think about it. They are using a quick release that seems to be a well designed version of Fanatec's QR1. And there is absolutely no talk of the quick release being sub standard.
😂😂😂
Finally....it took so long I literally took a circular saw to my D shaped rim and turned it into a track/gt wheel by slicing off the middle 10 or so inches....then wrapped the entire wheel a 1/8 inch neoprene layer with racket tape as the final layer thickening the rim and making it less rock hard....i actually love it now
you have any pics of it ?
@@TeinakiPalu yeah
We need proof
@@snoopy_peanuts_77post pics and do a tutorial on sim racing subreddit
@@snoopy_peanuts_77 would love to check it out thinking bout doing the same
they could simply add console support to the universal hub by having you wire a controller to one of the USB ports then allows you to use the controller in wired mode via the wheel base, that way you have acsess to the buttons needed to activate it on console, like one of the Universal USB wheel adapters you can buy to add console compatibility to any wheel base.
I’ve had a G25 for many years. It held up well. Still is working with windows 11 with some work. Nice to see Logitech is finally stepping up their sim racing setups. Might have to finally upgrade my setup 😂.
I was trying to decide between Fanatec and Logitech. I was continually astonished by the gall Fanatec has for its pricing.
Very glad I went with G!
we got new logitech hardware before GTA VI
That surely wasn’t on my bingo card
This is the gta6 comment I was looking for. Truly gta6 is taking way too long of Logitech released new products for the g pro first 🤣
I really hope people are finally starting to understand that it takes time to build quality products.
Lol def won't happen
Is the quality product in the room with us? We got a hub that is almost identical to the one that already came with the pro wheel and some metal cutouts that have some rubber grips. Moza and 3rd parties do the same thing for half the price in a quarter of the time.
It’s about time. Almost dropped mine do to lack of support glad i can keep it for now
Those MOMO wheels look nice. Might grab some when they release. I really wished they made a H shifter aswell 😔
What a week. Logitech and fanatec being back into the game!
fanatec has already lost. lost too many customers , and Moza took the spotlight. Price to quality.
@@CrazyChiefXxXMoza took the spotlight because they copied all of Fanatec’s technology using questionable business practices. If you have to support a Chinese company, at least pick the one playing fair, Simagic.
@@CrazyChiefXxXI would say Logitech already lost, it took them way too long, everybody picked Fanatec, or Moza meanwhile and when Logitech finally released something Fanatec already sorted out the insolvency and with Corsair it probably be stronger than ever.
@@CrazyChiefXxX with the announcement of the acquisition by corsair, I'm pretty sure consumers will buy their products again. I myself am just waiting to see how it goes while I try to decide between the moza r12 and simagic alpha mini. The clubsport DD is back on the map for me
This would've been fire in like 2022.
Sorry, maybe a stupid question and I just zoned out and missed it, but do the new wheels fit on to the old/original hub? Tempted to get one and replace the D with something else - and still keep the additional paddle shifts on the original hub.
For me the launch wheel was perfect so wasn't as desperate as some for more options but have to say they look really good and dripping with quality just like the original .Shame about the analog paddles but tbh I've never used mine [tho I like having the choice ]....Shifter/hand brake looks like a real winner too and £159 is an amazing... price Hats off to Logitech.!
Just got a G29 which i know id have to replace in 2 years and its great to know that i will be moving to something ill enjoy for a very long time
That rim is neither really Formula style nor GT. I find it very weird.
It suits both though
I really like it. Kinda subjective I guess
Really like the looks of it.
But the RS Hub is a downgrade compared to original wheel.
So I decided to cancel the Hub after initial hype in my mind settled down.
Until we get more Rims for it, would like a 300-320mm round wheel and 280-290 F1 wheel.
They did that so they don't need to make two....
They did the same for shifter/ebrake, so I guess this is their path. Generic shit that suits most purposes.
Not saying that's a bad idea either to be honest. I only have one wheel, and it's a perfectly round rally wheel. I only play in VR and I never see it, so it always feels right no matter what I drive, be it rally car, drifting or GT cars.
The updated Ghub and it BROKE EVERYTHING. My G923 doesn't even populate on it anymore. Nothing in registry editor. Works fine on Xbox.
Yup that's why I swore never to go with Logitech again. Rendered my G920 useless for 6 f**king months, they can't code software for s**t
Very nice, good to see more there are more and more options coming to the market LOVE IT
Gotta thank MOZA for shaking shit up and not letting off the gas, they've pretty much made the old guards lifting and coasting a financially terrible decision even on the entry level side.
Regarding the Fanatec QR1, I might have won the tolerance lottery, but my DD Pro shaft and 2 different QR1s have perfect fit. All 3 products have been purchased about 6-9 months apart, so definitely different batches.
I been waiting forever for this ❤❤❤❤ love ya boosted media and love you Logitech
I love my GPro. I play on my pc Acc, iRacing and the TrueForce is amazing! I stopped playing AM2 because there’s no TF. It’s so boring without it.
I just got the new next level formula lite pro so I was hoping Logitech to release a Gt wheel 🎉 🙌🏽
In what circumstances do you need a handbrake but not also a sequential shifter at the same time? I don’t see how this being a handbrake would ever be useful unless you bought two of them, but at that point they may as well be separate products.
1 device to manufacture
does the new wheel rims fit the original hub ? and i wonder if they ever will use the display on the base to show gear etc
It's kind of wild that after two years, these are the only accessories that we're getting. The G Pro wheel and pedals are a tremendous bit of kit, but the Logitech ecosystem is being held back by sheer incompetence from the company itself. If you're a predominantly console user, then there's zero reason to opt for Logitech over Fanatec. Obviously if you're a PC user then you're probably looking at any number of better options already.
I disagree. Takes time to make quality products and I’m glad Logitech isn’t just throwing stuff out there as fast as possible like some other companies.
It about time.. Crazy to think Logitech where Nbr1 and now the left in the dust.. I guess this is a start
My problem with Logitech is the software not the hardware. They are great for getting in games as standard but I had an update to GHuB render my G920 useless for months which put me off their wheels. Went Asetek Forte in the end.
Nice Video and thanks for sharing ! Meanwhile waiting for almost 6 Months for my Break Performance Kit from Fanatec
@boostedmedia is it possible to use the hub from the original wheel with the track wheel? they look roughly the same shape but I can't tell from the video. If I could get away without having to buy a 2nd hub i'd prefer that
would you be able too just buy one of the rims and screw it too the orignal hub?
As late as it might be, with Corsair(their direct competitor in peripherals) now owning Fanatec, this might actually be perfect timing for them to put some new competing products out.
Glad to see Logitech bringing up their game. However, the wheels look tiny. Would like to see another H-patern shifter.
Ikr! The diameter is way too small, doesn't feel realistic
Just ordered 2 hubs and the rims..... Finally A start of there eco system
Why? So you can have a rim that's 10mm smaller than the stock rim....oh and 2 more buttons 😂
@@ravey1981I'm guessing cos it's completely round, unlike the original.
Round wheels for drifting and rally.
@@ravey1981 my money, i can buy whatever i want....
Just in time for me to upgrade from my G920! Great review as always.
Was not really interested in different rims even when I had Fanatec but what the heck, for this price why not. Thanks for the discount Mr Will ✌🏽
Is the cable integrated or seperatable for the shifter?
I'm guess Logitech will later come out with a more expensive universal hub with buttons that has the same QR as the original wheel as the one shown it looks like they have made a cost cut version to get the price lower but it was nice how the original wheel QR worked as its so smooth and easy to take on and off.
They are likely working on(or already have) a H shifter and a F1 wheel with paddle shift and dual clutches added back, Companies have to stagger their release of products to keep things moving and customers spending money. Apple brings out a new phone every year and add a couple of features to make everyone want to upgrade, car companies do this also. It sucks for us consumers, but it is the best business decision.
It is good to see Logitech do this. I don’t even know why he even mentions Fanashit, Corsair can’t turn around a failed company overnight.
NO WAY i thought they were gonna let it rot! I don’t own one but i’m glad for everyone who does because i bet most of them were super dissapointed
you need a little metal plate to bring the handbrake more to the left so it will be offset compared to the shifter and then your are golden. Bringin it over just 2 inches would be enough
No H pattern shifter ?
Same here maybe they’re working on one

@@mouseFPVWhere did you hear this?
How does the wheel finish feel compared to the stock one?
People try to defend Logitech by saying it takes time to bring forth new products. Logitech have had sim racing, and flight peripherals, for many moons, and they've had many moons to stay up to date, and release up to date sim equipment. But they chose not to because sim racing, and obviously flight, is not a priority to them. In the grand scheme of things, it's a small market and they don't care about the noise simmers make. Their attitude is one of, we make what we want, when we want, and if you don't like it, don't buy it. Those people that try to defend Logitech need to realize something, we age forwards, not backwards. People should not buy a wheel base, and then have to wait two years for proper steering wheels to come out. Not from a company that has been in the business a long time. And no matter how good the new shifter may be, it's still not what most people asked for, and of course, Logitech didn't listen. Why wait years for products to come out when other manufacturers already have it out. Like I said, we age forwards, not backwards. It will probably be another two years before an H shifter appears, and if it comes out much sooner, it will be a miracle. I would suggest that people who are already sim racing, look elsewhere for sim products, as it's not a priority for Logitech. Waiting years for products to come out, that should've been come out, is a waste of your time, and life. With that said, the new Logitech sim racing products seem good, but the wait times are horrendous.
They got us on console compatibility, and that’s really about it. I’d get rid of the G Pro in a heartbeat for a better ecosystem
If you want to know something is going to last 5 plus years you need to test it for at least one year if not more. I think they released as soon as they could while still ensuring quality.
What an Awesome review! Noice!
Still no 6 speed shifter? why? You have a clutch with the pro pedals. It is useless! Also no F1 style wheel? This sux.
Hi Will. Does the rims have the standard 70mm bolt pattern? Not sure if I missed it in the review. Just wondering if I could pair the rim to another button box.
