WEBVTT

00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:08.719
so we're not exactly fully moved into the new office but videos must roll so

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:11.000
let's check out the Logitech G29 driving

00:00:08.719 --> 00:00:15.960
force by the way like the video if you're a huge fan of 5 gallon buckets

00:00:13.639 --> 00:00:21.370
they're just you can use them for so many things they're

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:32.840
awesome freshbooks is a super simple invoicing solution that lets you get

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:38.120
organized save time and get paid faster click now to try it for

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:40.960
free the G29 driving force doesn't look

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:44.840
a ton different compared to a G27 or G25 for that matter other than the buttons

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:51.079
on the steering wheel and that's fair because well that's about it but uh

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:56.199
we'll come on to that again closer to the conclusion for now let's just focus

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:58.239
on the G29 for internal Hardware the G29

00:00:56.199 --> 00:01:03.359
steering wheel has dual force feedback Motors anti-backlash single reduction

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:06.720
helical gearing automatic calibration all that kind of stuff which actually

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:10.920
the calibration at least looks really badass when you first plug it in it has

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:15.840
900° of overall rotation and a hall effect sensor the force feedback feature

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:19.360
takes in-game conditions and transfers them to the wheel so that you feel more

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:23.119
like you're actually in the vehicle that you're driving for instance I was

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:27.720
playing project cars and did a bunch of career cart racing I had a tendency to

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:31.360
cut Corners a little bit too close and it was very apparent when two of my

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:36.159
wheels would run up onto the curb because the steering would change very

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:40.280
cool the Dual feedback motor was also pretty fantastic it was nice to have it

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.759
fight with me as I would try to drag my cart around a corner at a way too high

00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:48.320
speed when the game was giving me red arrows all over the place speaking of

00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:53.000
fighting with it while doing so my hands were surprisingly comfortable Logitech

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.799
claims that they constructed the G29 with materials that were selected for

00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:01.119
long-term durability precision and comfort and especially that last one

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:03.920
Comfort was was apparent pretty quick the leather wrapped around the steering

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:07.719
wheel feels great we talked about Precision components earlier and in

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:11.080
terms of durability they do have anodized aluminum through the steering

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:16.400
wheel which is great although the rest of the body is mostly plastic but that

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:20.040
being said that's probably fine as the only other things that you're directly

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:24.640
interacting with are usually metal or leather moving down to the pedals which

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:28.959
feature throttle breake and clutch which a lot of other solutions kind of skip

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:33.560
out on you have metal plates for each pedal and then a hole whole whack ton of

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:37.200
plastic which again is probably fine I don't know of many people having issues

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:42.000
with the G27 pedals and the overall design of these is more or less the same

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:45.959
the pedals are all self-calibrating and the brake pedal is nonlinear in order to

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.959
mimic a pressure sensitive brake system for more responsive feel you can make

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:55.840
adjustments to the pedals to move them left or right by small amounts by using

00:02:53.000 --> 00:03:00.080
a 2.5 mm hex key which can help people with big or small feet just fine-tune

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:05.000
things to themselves moving back back up to the steering wheel we have the controls all of these can be macro set

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.319
into pretty much whatever you want but most games will have some sort of profile that the Logitech gaming

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.080
software included with the steering wheel will pick up on and set up for you

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:17.560
you can change things within the software or say Force profile override

00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.239
so that the wheel will act the exact same way in every game that you try it

00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:25.720
in overall this software was intuitive and very easy to use in addition to your

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:29.799
standard PlayStation buttons you have a plus and minus buttons a dial and an

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:32.840
Enter key which will most often be unused in a lot of different games

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.360
default profiles leaving it up to you to bind additional options to this and

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.720
behind the steering wheel there's your left and right paddle shifters and up on

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.080
top you have a Playstation 3 or PlayStation 4 selector switch by the way

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.239
for PC select PlayStation 4 on the bottom of the steering wheel there are

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:51.200
cable routing holes for whatever accessories you may have and there are

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.959
arms that can grab onto most desk surfaces and hold it in place the metals

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.280
have an optional mini plastic spike thing that can drop out and grab onto

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:03.280
the carpet in order for it to not slide around as much if you're an advanced

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:08.519
user and have a gaming cockpit like the auto which you can see lus review here

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.879
there is standard kind of threaded bolt holes on both the bottom of the steering

00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.200
wheel and the pedal Mount using this thing was pretty great it didn't

00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:19.440
automatically work in every game that I tried but it picked up in Project CARS

00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:22.759
immediately and it was a lot of fun to play with a good feeling comfortable

00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.600
steering wheel with a fair amount of force feedback Logitech has done a

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:31.240
really good job with their profiles and game detection was a breeze when it

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:36.880
worked my only gripe was that I couldn't get dirt or grid to to detect the wheel

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.400
at all but that may be more their fault than logcs if you can I would definitely

00:04:38.840 --> 00:04:43.919
recommend mounting both of these units to something pretty solid overall it was

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.680
fine but there were a few times where I would react to something a little

00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:53.120
strongly and either caused the pedal unit to slide out or Tilted the whole

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.440
steering unit not 100% ideal but not bad

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.280
for something that took me about 2 minutes to set up in conclusion this

00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:03.080
thing was a ton of fun but to jump back to the beginning of the video for a

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:05.240
second it's a lot like the G27 and at a

00:05:03.080 --> 00:05:09.440
suggested retail price of $399 I think it would be hard pressed to

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:13.800
actually recommend someone replace their still perfectly fine G27 with this thing

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:17.479
unless they need it for compatibility reasons the price is pretty steep and

00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:20.960
definitely the main detracting feature of this product and it's getting into

00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:25.199
the level of competing with some extremely high-end racing wheels with

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.720
some pretty intense features from other brands so let me know what you guys

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:33.680
think in the comments down below speaking of looking good Dollar Shave

00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:38.080
