I keep hearing about the noise of the G29 but I haven't had that experience yet. I just got mine a week ago so maybe it will happen eventually but right out the box it is no where near as loud as what I see in videos on RUclips.
Been playing racing games since age 6 and now 29 and this is my first wheel … shouldn’t have taken me this long at all but excited to finally be able to actually control cars in Gran Turismo and Assetto Corsa lol
got my wheel new for 250 after tax with the shifter, no clicking noise like in the video but i do agree with the small issue shifting into reverse, this wheel is totally worth it at that price.
Great video dude. I've just upgraded to a Moza R12 base using R5 bundle wheel and pedals) from the G29. It was my daily driver for nearly 8 years! Great little package. My R12 doesn't even have a shifter so the G29 beats my DD rig there! And I think the pedals are comparable. (Mine are the lite ones, so no load cell for the break.)
Here in Asia, DD wheels are overly expensive and we also have to take into account the availability. Popular wheels from reputable brands are G29 and the Thrustmaster line up. Also a cheaper but questionable brand is PXN. So our choices are somewhat limited mainly due to our pockets lol. I have recently gotten the G29 last January and I am happy with it. I use headphones so I dont really hear much of the crackles. Also installed it on the GT Lite Pro so the noise is not as bad as placing it on a desk. I will play with this perhaps in a year and may upgrade to the R5 if any good deals come up in the future. Despite its flaws, I am happy that Logitech still sells the G29 or even the latest version as it gives us more access to affordable options from reliable a brand...
What's the availability of Cammus in Asia? I just received mine yesterday, it feels insane in comparison to G29, and paired up with Logitech pedals and shifter it feels really nice
What you didn't mention is that if you want a custom wheel, the g29 does not support it. I played about 100 hours with a custom wheel on my g29 and the force feedback is nonexistent and drifting becomes impossible since the weak motor can't turn a heavier wheel fast enough to catch drifts. If you are fine with the stock tiny gokart wheel then the g29 is an amazing starter kit for simracing.
To improve the smoothness of the brake compared to the accelerator, you can remove a small piece of plastic that holds the brake, making it less rigid."
Got the new updated one for PS5 I doesn't rattle and after setting the wheel sensitivity to the highest it's a blast really fun for the price $250 with 3 year warranty on Amazon lol.
I have never come across a G29 wheel including my own that makes any rattling noise. Ether you have a broken wheel or your on some sort of racing game that induces it.
Moza's R5 bundle makes way more sense than the G29. And once you drive with the Moza wheel it's like night and day in the experience compared to the G29. Mine rattled a lot as well. The Moza is totally silent.
Yeah, my g29 doesn't clack like that either, but it makes me wonder if we just got lucky. I do also run mine in a rig now, but it wasn't any noisier when I had it clamped to my desk.
For me it was mostly happening in very bumpy places, which happens rarely (apart when driving fully off road or a bumpy track). When driving on smooth surface, it was quiet
It's better than the 923 because it still works on ps3 I got a 923 then did heavy mods on it (I might do a vid in it) but with not backwards compatibility it hurts the best old games like gt5 gt6 etc
No. This product is being sold this year at a ridiculous high price. This is from 2015. It has really poor force feedback and a lot of weird noises. There are way more options nowadays, with fair prices. Look it up!
With the Cammus C5 and Fanatec CSL DD 5nm out, I see no reason to ever buy a G29 new. Only ever used and thats if you're super super broke. I'd advice to just wait, save a little, and get a C5 to any beginners getting into sim racing.
If they don’t know if they would like, you want them to spend 50%+ more to find that out? If you are already into sim racing, then I agree. I would reconsider my opinion, if only to increase the supply of decent beginner DD wheels on the used market.
It was okay for everyone who want to start sim racing. But for a bit more I'd suggest buying at least Thrustmaster T300RS GT. The wheel is so much better IMO
Anyone buying the ancient and worst of the FFB technologies in 2024 is ill advised. You can buy a direct drive setup for very little extra outlay or even the same price. I've only ever owned belt drive and direct drive wheelbases but I have used the Logitech, yes you can drive with it but it's not a particularly informative experience. Get something better.
I have mine (a G920) for about a year and it's a second hand one and I've never have much issue with the noise. it does produce some noise though. but I guess what you hear is clipping
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Concerning the noise of this steering wheel, either the bad faith is again level in the comments, or these people think they bought a Logitech, but that is not the case. A logitech that doesn't make noise doesn't exist... or there's a manufacturing defect
Brought one yesterday and it doesnt make a rattling noise when playin dirt rally 2.0. Pedals are perfectly fine and had a great time with it.
well its not taking long for that to happen
I was about to buy it until I seen the replies I went with the T300rs for an extra £60 than the g29. Glad I did
Why @CasperSrgt
@CasperSrgt glad I seen your comment I am having a blast. Wish I jumped on sim racing sooner. Saving up for a PC now to take it up a level next year.
We used it for years, but recently moved up to the G Pro, can't go back now. The G29 is sitting on a shelf for displace.
I keep hearing about the noise of the G29 but I haven't had that experience yet. I just got mine a week ago so maybe it will happen eventually but right out the box it is no where near as loud as what I see in videos on RUclips.
After some time they start to make that weird noise, depends on the wear of the gears inside I guess
You should’ve got the T300rs. It’ll eventually make that sound.
its over a year with mine, use it every week, no sound so far
I think it only happens with earlier G29, mine is pretty quite as well, the sound of me pressing & lifting the pedal is louder than the wheels lol.
My 4 years old.its Perfect
No noise from my g29, maby depends what you have it mounted to.
you can turn the rumbles off in most proper racing sims and just have the ffb through the wheel, its what i do in my g923 when racing online

@@DedulissRacing i only saw a few online stores posting them not yet on any of my local shops. Might be interested on that will check the reviews.

I bought it 4 years ago at 180 euro. It was on discount at Amazon. So i think i got a good deal there, i never see it fall at that price now our days.
Make sure to keep your g29 pedals clean of any dust, otherwise potentiometers will start acting up over time (common issue).
bought the T300RS GT and Im really happy with it!
same i wanted to buy the g27 or so but luckily my father help chosing somthin way better for even cheaper
but used
My family warned me that the sound when I took my foot off the pedals was louder than the steering part.
I'm currently using Thrustmaster.
My G920 doesn't make noise.

@@Timetravelerfrom2000 M
what is the name of the game you play with trafic btw nice video
"The rest of em feel extremely cheap" u sure? I hit the buttons on my ps5 controller, and they sound the same lmaooo
Finally a rattling sound for me! I need that to be immersed into Omsi 2.

meh so far im not liking the r5 it makes playing games more of a hassle than anything
Bought my G920 with shifter for £159 in Logitech's Black Friday sale.
Simple answer, YES
Everything about this video is true the noice, flickerink pedals and the wheel button thing love it
My g29 is actually very very quiet... get a better table or aim higher and buy a rig
Yeah, my g29 doesn't clack like that either, but it makes me wonder if we just got lucky. I do also run mine in a rig now, but it wasn't any noisier when I had it clamped to my desk.

I have one the issue is most xbox games don't work on it. Still fun to have i like it. But its worth the money
Doesn’t Xbox have there own version of this.
Went with a t300rs gt! Its awesome!
i might be weird but i like the clanky sound
I think it's totally okay when you live alone and don't have neighbors or family in the same house/building 😄
Ive had mine for nearly 3 years now and it does not make that noise and i have force feedback all the way

They brake so easily
i still using G27, DD is stupidly too expensive for me who just playing sim for recreational purpose😁

Dude your wheel sounds broken.
your wheel sounds broken.
You sir doing Punta Taco
Good!
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Fuck no.
Should u buy it? answer is Yes
If you expecting too much from game driving wheel than u might as well just drive Real car,
My G920 works fine 😂…
Short answer. No

@@nissansilviakouki 0 ffb ... yes, possible .
