Still the Best Beginner Sim Racing Wheel? | Logitech G29 Review

Hey guys, as some of you know, I've been working on this review of the Logitech G29 sim racing wheel on-and-off for a while now. Today it finally sees the light of day, and in a format I've not really tried before. So the question is, does the Logitech G29 still hold the title of the best beginner sim racing wheel?

G29 has been fantastic for me so far. 3D printed the adapter as well to replace the wheel itself with an actual rally wheel, wish me luck!

[SrirajaPanich]

Dang, the G29 is going for $400 USD base right now. I missed my window to get it cheaper before Coronavirus.

[casperschaugg]

one does have to realize that he has a "proper" sim rig, so for a beginner/ someone who just got into it, it'll be heaven. (especially coming from a keyboard)

[midioutput]

It's wild that a wheel at that price point is the 'entry level'

[waynevanmaastricht]

Just got the G29 as my 1st wheel and it's a perfect wheel. I'm ecstatic with it. The more expensive wheels must be amazing

This channel is eventually going to blow up. High quality editing, content, script, and delivery.

Priceless.

Having used this for 5 months after choosing it as my entry-wheel into sim racing; I agree with pretty much every part of this. You even said things I hadn't realised myself and agreed with. Only thing I think you got wrong: I reckon you could use it as a weapon during a home invasion, but to-date have no proof - theory only.

I'm still using my G25, still works perfectly fine after all those years.

[hunterbrittle]

This is great. Perfect timing for me, I’m just getting into proper sim racing and can’t wait to have my own setup. Thanks for helping out us newbies!

just bought one for 170€ this christmas. Im loving it. It was kind of hard to adjust to the brake pedal as it takes a while to know how hard you need to push to trailbrake effectively but its was a matter of 2-3 days for me, who has never sim-raced before.

I took your advice about a year ago, and picked up the g29.
I've never had a single issue with it;
Its been a good reliable purchase.
I still love it, a year later.
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated.

"Unknown" controllers are actually keyboard people

I just started looking into racing sims tonight, and YouTube recommended me this video when I got home. Perfect timing!

I had my G27 for seven years now and I was very happy with it! The desk clamps are better then I expected, because in the past 4 years I never felt the wheel getting loose from my rig. Only when I took it off to get my new wheel on I realised that I never used the screws and only the clamps.

[simonhaycocks]

I've had one of these for about 3 years as well as the H pattern shifter. All still work perfectly.

Honestly speaking, great review.

I'm 17 and I'll get a gaming pc next month, because I like cars and drifting, I was planning on getting this steering wheel w/ the shifter to play Asseto Corsa and this review was really useful.

Funny thing is by the time I've saved enough money to buy this (probably around December), I'll turn 18 and be able to get a drivers license so I'll practice at home with this bad boy.

Also, you have a really calming voice tho

This is probably the best review of the G29/G2x series I’ve ever seen. Keep doing what you are doing Chris.
