Good steering wheel for £100 ?

GothicGhost · 25 Dec 2012 at 17:06

HI all.

I am looking into buying a steering wheel with pedals for euro truck simulator 2 and later some sim racing games.

The only wheel set I can see that looks to me any good is the
Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Clutch Racing Wheel for about £80.

This a good wheel to buy ?

Thank you for any help and hope you all had a great Christmas

Logitech Driving force GT.

Logitech Driving Force GT or Thrustmaster F430 FFB are your best bets.

I have a driving force GT and I love it. Quality force feedback and loads of programmable buttons.

DFGT 900 degree steering is a must if you want to play racing sims

the pedals arent the best though whilst the brake has a fair amount of feeling to it the accelerator is very light a lot of people use one of those bungee cord things with the hooks on the end to make it have a bit of pushback

if you're happy to go second hand you might be able to get a logitech G25 for that money. If not then do as everyone else says and get the DFGT

I picked up a second hand Logitech G25 for a little over £100 a while back and it's incredible.

for 100, IMO, this is hands down your best bet. Allthough get a G27 if you can over a G25

not getting a g27 for 100 pound

Sorry I forgot about this thread my attentions went else where and I bought trackir 5 instead lol.

But I am still after a new wheel next month and will keep a look out for a g25 second hand if I can find a good one.

But if I finish making my own gear shifter I would look for a cheaper wheel without a proper H shifter.

Thank you all for your help and advice

I bought a G27 for about £100 last year.

I had a dfgt wheel, brilliant wheel, used it during my time on gt5.

ZG002 · 18 Jan 2013 at 22:33

G25 if you can find one, If not Logitech Driving force GT is a ace wheel for the price. Had one myself when GT5 came out.

Marshstyles · 19 Jan 2013 at 00:33

my old G25 is/was worth £100!?!??!

I just gave it to my mate yesterday doh!

Just bought a G25 off ebay for £100 and was wondering which games get the full use out of it? just ordered GT5 because i heard it uses clutch etc..

barmyllama · 20 Jan 2013 at 23:23

Almost all racing games on PC and PS3 released in the last 4-5 years will work well with a G25.

Dirt2 & 3
GT5
rFactor
Race 07 and expansions
pCARS
F1 2010,11 &12
GTR 2
Live For Speed
iRacing

I got a used logitech driving force GT in the end.
Very nice condition for £44 inc p&p + 1 year warranty.

I am still making my own H shifter and I have spare pedals from older steering wheel I will try and make a clutch out of.

Cheers.

£44?

It's got a £42 RRP sticker on it!

GothicGhost · 8 Feb 2013 at 23:44

Came to £44 with postage

I think was now £44.50p with postage.
