so we're not exactly fully moved into the new office but videos must roll so
let's check out the Logitech G29 driving
force by the way like the video if you're a huge fan of 5 gallon buckets
they're just you can use them for so many things they're
awesome freshbooks is a super simple invoicing solution that lets you get
organized save time and get paid faster click now to try it for
free the G29 driving force doesn't look
a ton different compared to a G27 or G25 for that matter other than the buttons
on the steering wheel and that's fair because well that's about it but uh
we'll come on to that again closer to the conclusion for now let's just focus
on the G29 for internal Hardware the G29
steering wheel has dual force feedback Motors anti-backlash single reduction
helical gearing automatic calibration all that kind of stuff which actually
the calibration at least looks really badass when you first plug it in it has
900° of overall rotation and a hall effect sensor the force feedback feature
takes in-game conditions and transfers them to the wheel so that you feel more
like you're actually in the vehicle that you're driving for instance I was
playing project cars and did a bunch of career cart racing I had a tendency to
cut Corners a little bit too close and it was very apparent when two of my
wheels would run up onto the curb because the steering would change very
cool the Dual feedback motor was also pretty fantastic it was nice to have it
fight with me as I would try to drag my cart around a corner at a way too high
speed when the game was giving me red arrows all over the place speaking of
fighting with it while doing so my hands were surprisingly comfortable Logitech
claims that they constructed the G29 with materials that were selected for
long-term durability precision and comfort and especially that last one
Comfort was was apparent pretty quick the leather wrapped around the steering
wheel feels great we talked about Precision components earlier and in
terms of durability they do have anodized aluminum through the steering
wheel which is great although the rest of the body is mostly plastic but that
being said that's probably fine as the only other things that you're directly
interacting with are usually metal or leather moving down to the pedals which
feature throttle breake and clutch which a lot of other solutions kind of skip
out on you have metal plates for each pedal and then a hole whole whack ton of
plastic which again is probably fine I don't know of many people having issues
with the G27 pedals and the overall design of these is more or less the same
the pedals are all self-calibrating and the brake pedal is nonlinear in order to
mimic a pressure sensitive brake system for more responsive feel you can make
adjustments to the pedals to move them left or right by small amounts by using
a 2.5 mm hex key which can help people with big or small feet just fine-tune
things to themselves moving back back up to the steering wheel we have the controls all of these can be macro set
into pretty much whatever you want but most games will have some sort of profile that the Logitech gaming
software included with the steering wheel will pick up on and set up for you
you can change things within the software or say Force profile override
so that the wheel will act the exact same way in every game that you try it
in overall this software was intuitive and very easy to use in addition to your
standard PlayStation buttons you have a plus and minus buttons a dial and an
Enter key which will most often be unused in a lot of different games
default profiles leaving it up to you to bind additional options to this and
behind the steering wheel there's your left and right paddle shifters and up on
top you have a Playstation 3 or PlayStation 4 selector switch by the way
for PC select PlayStation 4 on the bottom of the steering wheel there are
cable routing holes for whatever accessories you may have and there are
arms that can grab onto most desk surfaces and hold it in place the metals
have an optional mini plastic spike thing that can drop out and grab onto
the carpet in order for it to not slide around as much if you're an advanced
user and have a gaming cockpit like the auto which you can see lus review here
there is standard kind of threaded bolt holes on both the bottom of the steering
wheel and the pedal Mount using this thing was pretty great it didn't
automatically work in every game that I tried but it picked up in Project CARS
immediately and it was a lot of fun to play with a good feeling comfortable
steering wheel with a fair amount of force feedback Logitech has done a
really good job with their profiles and game detection was a breeze when it
worked my only gripe was that I couldn't get dirt or grid to to detect the wheel
at all but that may be more their fault than logcs if you can I would definitely
recommend mounting both of these units to something pretty solid overall it was
fine but there were a few times where I would react to something a little
strongly and either caused the pedal unit to slide out or Tilted the whole
steering unit not 100% ideal but not bad
for something that took me about 2 minutes to set up in conclusion this
thing was a ton of fun but to jump back to the beginning of the video for a
second it's a lot like the G27 and at a
suggested retail price of $399 I think it would be hard pressed to
actually recommend someone replace their still perfectly fine G27 with this thing
unless they need it for compatibility reasons the price is pretty steep and
definitely the main detracting feature of this product and it's getting into
the level of competing with some extremely high-end racing wheels with
some pretty intense features from other brands so let me know what you guys
