G923

something daft already!! · 16 Nov 2020 at 15:14

I'm thinking of upgrading my Thrustmaster TMX to a new Logitech G923. Looks like a nice wheel and it have Trueforce which looks like it might be good.

Anyone got one of these?

No , But also looking at getting one. Maybe worth seeing what the black Friday sales bring (if they still happen this year)

My own experience, once belt you never go back to cog.
G923 is still on same tech as G25 that came 14 years ago. The only difference is the hall sensors as opposed to potentiometer and an ohh err vibrator for 'true force' #gimic

That is not an upgrade!

Why would you say that?

The Logitech is about the same level as your TMX. The Thrustmaster T300 would be the next step up (tho you’d be wiser saving for a Fanatec CSL Elite bundle).

Ah OK thanks. I borrowed a G29 a few years back, then bought the TMX. The TMX is more clunky and less responsive feeling than the Logitech for me. This is why I was thinking of the new one.

Honestly I'd recommend moving away from gear driven. I don't think you'll think it's that big of a change.

I've had the Fanatec CSL Elite bundle (with load cell brake) for a few years now. It's not cheap fair enough, but neither is a G923 and if you're spending that sort of cash, you probably enjoy sim racing? I'd recommend moving to belt driven with a load cell brake any day if you can afford the difference.

G29 Currently on sale for £159.99 if that's an option for you?

That's a good price. Not sure how much of an upgrade it would be for me though.

Was in a similar situation to the OP.

The T300 was on my shortlist, but the Fanatec BF sale enticed me.
Fanatec site is taking a hammering but I have managed to pick up a CSL Elite
