Customer Review: Greatest racing wheel ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently got this for christmas and was totally floored by it. I had a few racing games that I used to play with my keyboard but that didn't evn come close to what you could pull off with this wheel. This is a very high quality item, as shown by the metalic and leather trim used on various parts. The reason I decided to go with this one other than the others it because of the shifter, which I'm glad I did. I tried setting the shifter to sequential like the other wheels and I even tried using the paddles but it just wasn't the same around a track. Although I will admit that the paddles are better for drag racing than the shifter. The motors are sweet and pack some serious kick, but the nicest part of having the force feedback is that you can feel when your tires lose their grip or when the road surface changes. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to play racing games.
One more thing...thanks to the clutch pedal, I was able to teach a buddy of mine how to drive a manual car without risking him messing up the clutch on my real car.
Customer Review: Solid wheel, you get what you pay for!

Having owned a cheap MadCatz wheel for the older Xbox, it was time for me to try this top of the line G25. Love Logitech products, so I couldn't see why this one couldn't be good...
Having played GTR2, rFactor for a bunch of days, all I can say is AMAZING. The clutch and the force-feedback is really great. The main reason why I bought this wheel is because of the clutch, and the 6-speed H-shift pattern.... makes driving a true pleasure, and the games that require a clutch that make full and serious use of the G25, makes driving really exciting and immersive.
The quality of the wheels is top notch, having owned some Momo wheels in real cars (Like a Subaru) ... this one feels like the real thing.
Great construction quality. Clamps down to desk solidly, and pedals have grip on hardwood surfaces. Haven't tried it on carpet.
For a true driving simulator, don't miss on this wheel. You gotta have it to use the 6-speed manual and clutch, though, otherwise, you might as well get the other cheaper wheel.
Customer Review: Fantastic

This is my first wheel I have ever purchased. The strange thing was I meant to shop for some rudders to play with my flight sim and somehow ended up with this instead. I was amazed that how great everyone talked about it, and I ended up deciding to buy it. The most shocking thing is not one website nor does Logitech mention that it works with Mac computers and no need to download any drivers. The game recognized it once I inserted the usb plug. It also of course works for window computers and I can even use the brake, gas, and clutch as rudders for flight sims. Seems like I got more than I originally wanted and I am happy.
1. works with mac computers
2. works with window computers
3. can even act as rudders for flight sims
4. works with Play Station
If you do not mind dropping the $300.00 I would recommend this, the steering wheel is great to the feel, much better than my real one. The stick shift is nice as well and comes with many programable buttons as there are also two on the wheel.
Customer Review: Happy customer

I've been using this product daily for the past 12 months. I am a very heavy user as I am an iRacing enthusiast (racing simulator available on PC). After one year, this product still works like new.
For the price, this wheel can not be beat; it is an excellent value. That said, I do wish Logitech made a more expensive premium wheel/pedal set, as I'd like to move on to higher-priced features like:
-load cell brake pedal
-load cell or magnet-style contact-free throttle and clutch pedals
-Option for stiffer pedal springs (note that these are plenty stiff for most users, I just like them really stiff)
-More linear action for the pedals (as seen in long-arm pedals like the CSTs)
-More buttons on the wheel (even the 6 included on the G27 are not enough for my preference)
-More options for shifter paddle size/weight/action
Other companies' premium wheels/pedals just don't compare to Logitech's combination of excellent customer service, value, and quality.
Customer Review: Don't hesitate to buy this wheel

If you haven't bought this wheel yet, buy it. It's worth the price. I picked this up in November of 2006, and I haven't regretted it at all. The build quality is fantastic, and everything seems to be very durable. The resistance of the clutch, brake and gas pedals seems to be about perfect. The gearbox works very well in manual mode. It does feel a bit light, but I've slammed the gearshift around for months now with ill effects---you can be very aggressive with it without worrying about breaking it. Also, the force feedback is very strong---comparable to the force feedback found in arcade racers.
There is still limited support for the 6-speed gearbox, but more games are coming out with support for it every day. I use it primarily for GTR2 and GT legends on the PC, but Gran Turismo HD is supposed to support it, as well as PGR 3 and Forza 2 on the Xbox 360. All in all, this wheel/pedal/shifter combo is a great value. I don't think I'll have to replace it for many years.
