Logitech G27...Is is worth the money?

alistair55 · 12 Aug 2011 at 11:27

im thinking about getting the Logitech G27 to use on race 07 and suck like it and mabe IRacing and a few others. i would like it for the h-shift and the clutch. but its hard to justify £220 for a wheel so i was wondering what the owners and other people think of it?

many thanks
Alistair

Well, it's the best wheel on the market and i think it's worth it. Love mine

Some would beg to differ. The Fanatec wheels are also top quality. Plus they work with every system where the G27 doesn't work with the Xbox.

And is £150 more, Not worth it IMO

Fanatec are way too expensive!

Buying a fanatec is a gamble. They are very nice but hugley expensive, break down a lot and customer support is dubious. With a G27 you know it's solid and Logitechs support is legendary.

I considered a GT3v2 but went for a G27 instead, haven't had a chance to use it yet but it seems a quality piece of kit.

I love my G27. It's probably one of the best wheels you can get without spending silly money.

200+ is silly for a wheel.. - i would buy it if i had the money tho

It's a quality wheel, solid and reliable with the benefit of if anything does go wrong Logitech has great support. I've had a G25 for 3 years now of fairly heavy use in iRacing and it's still going strong.

In the same price bracket-ish, you've got:
Fanatec -- More expensive, possible quality problems, almost definite customer service problems, but if you get a good wheel they are good.
Thrustmaster -- more expensive still, no idea on support but the wheel itself seems to get good reviews, don't think it's worth the extra cost though...

If you look at how much you could spend on a wheel / pedal set £200 isn't bad at all. You get what you pay for with this kind of equipment anyway. You can get a fairly decent wheel for £70 but it won't have the same features and the quality of the pedals (which is definitely important for sim racing) won't be as high.
