    I have about 20 different wheelbases and this is by far my favorite. The best part is that I can use the XBOX wheel on the Playstation base and I don't have to swap wheels or wheelbases to use on either console...IT JUST WORKS ON BOTH. Too bad they don't sell the wheels individually. This puts the CSL DD and DD Pro to shame in terms of power and feel.

    I think the purpose of the placement of the second dial is to make it easier to use with your thumb without taking a hand off the wheel

    The logitech pro, for what it is, it's (lack of) customisablility, it's high price, and lack of shifter and/or pedals, makes it a hard sell, compared to others at the moment.
    Once more rims come out, I think it will be much better value.

      it has Pro pedals which are very nice and you can use the existing shifter trough a Logitech adapter (all for about 100 euros)…of course the ecosystem cannot par with some other brands but the system is amazing, I did not regret choosing it over Fanatec.

    The FFB strength seems to default to 11. I will typically use it around 7.5 - 8.5 but if I change games or restart a weekend, it sets itself back to 11. I have recently taken others advice and kept the hardware setting at 11 and use the game to set the FFB strength which solves this problem but last night, a buggy Le Mans ultimate nearly ripped my hands out of my arms during a collision even with a collision FFB setting in the game turned down to 60%.
    I thought your review was very accurate.

    For the last few years I've been using the Thrustmaster TMX fox Xbox. The base I was using was the cheapest piece of garbage I've ever used and was flimsy as hell. Think I got it on Amazon for $90. I had to put weights at the bottom so it didnt move around. I used a recliner or couch as a chair. It got the job done but it was time for an upgrade. I went all out and got the Logitech pro DD and pro pedals. Also got a Logitech Edition Playseat Throphy as a base. Racing should be a lot better from here on out. Cant wait until it gets here...

And you can't buy just the hub to make use of real wheels either. For drifting, it's hard to justify the price until at the very least a shifter is shown that will work on the PS5.

    I would actually really like to get one of these but unless they do something about the price nobody is going to buy it compared to fanatec as they have already got the name as a high-end wheel and people p just think of Logitech as an entry level wheel. This needs to be 75% of the price of a fanatec and it will sell well

    Fair play to you getting the wheel for free from Logitech, one thing is difficult to find reviews from people that actually paid for the Logitech wheel and pedals, normally I can find loads of reviews of products where people have paid for it and provide a review, one thing I find unusual with this wheel is that 99% of the reviews are where Logitech have sent the wheel & pedals for free, there’s very few reviews of people that have actually bought this item and reviewed it.
    I took a risk with this wheel & pedal set, I’ve seen all the complaints on Reddit and other forums, at the end of the day all the major brands have got complaints in Customer service, build quality & failures.
    I love this wheel, it is really good quality, I’m just worried about longevity, future issues etc.
    At the end of the day, Only someone that has paid this much money can tell you the truth of how they feel about the product, that’s with everything, I never ever watch sponsored reviews, items provided for free unless I just want to see what it looks like.

      Hey I'm exactly in the same boat as you, spending weeks researching since its a big commitment and all you see are questionable reviews who say they think its the best thing ever yet you never see them ever touch it again, or people shill about true force in comments yet when you ask them its all mainly gt7 console users who are only comparing it to the base level ffb in the game which is garbage, so any additional "trueforce" layers will make it seem like the best thing ever. Basically anyone who purchased it has given it glowing reviews if all they ever experienced is a g27/g29 or nothing at all, for the most part anyone who has prior experience with a dd unit has given it average/meh reviews especially the pedals. Just seeing nothing but conflicting things and seeing many youtubers with there discount codes and corrupt kickbacks all parrot each other to stay in line just doesnt breed confidence on a 1300 dollar proposition.

I have no interest in any other future rims or accessories though, I think if you want loads of different accessories maybe Logitech isn’t the right choice for you, For me the most important thing was a good solid wheel that works well and would give me many years of usage and fun. I haven’t regretted my choice at all.

      I caught and recovered from so many slides with the round shape, that would be IMPOSSIBLE with a GT3 style wheel, absolutely hate that thing, I'm glad the default shape is still round. And in the VR, it does not matter anyway what wheel you have, cause you get whatever shape is in the virtual cockpit. So it make sense to go with a "neutral" round shape, I applaud Logitech for making a good decision on the shape of the wheel rim.

      You had me worried - I am getting my Pro delivered today, and when I read that you couldn't "see" the base in VR I immediately thought that the wheel would not be recognised by the game when playing GT7 using VR2.
      I was watching on my TV, and when I read the whole of your comment (its truncated on the TV), I was relieved. Phew!
      I have owned a Fanatec DD Pro 8nm with loadcell for 9 months. It's pretty good, but it was shipped with a defective thottle pedal. After about 3 weeks of trying to get Fanatec "'support' to assist (so hard to get their attention!), they replaced it, but I'll not buy another Fanatec item again. Their own user forum attests to the poor state of after-sales experiences.
      Which was a big factor in buying a Pro. I had a G29 (and G923), and never, ever, had an issue. I've read that their customer support is great, too. Bye bye, Fanatec! Great to hear you love your Pro. What are your thoughts after 5 months?

    Absolutely not a Fanatec killer...Price is astronomical, no ecosystem. My DD Pro and all associated gear = bulletproof, over a year of heavy use.

      Lol Fanatec is really not known to be “bulletproof “😂 to many RUclips videos and post on forums of people owning Fanatec gear that breaks and there is no help to get from Fanatec.. I will never support them…

      It's the other way around bud, It's Logitech that have decades of experience of making wheels that's basically bulletproof. Heck some of them are basically llke a heirloom being passed down from people to people 😂

      It's good that you made the right decision with your $. That would be embarrassing if you hadn't.
