As the title says really. I'm looking to try my hand at VR racing for the winter and wanted to ask what's everyone's steering wheel of choice?

Thank you!

I use a Logitech G920 that I scooped off ebay for around £100. Good enough for me.

How's the responsiveness and feedback?

I have a Logitech G29 steering wheel, pedals, and shifter mounted to an office type desk, no complaints with it.

It's either a pre-owned ones for roughly £130ish-£175 or brand new. Cheapest price brand new so far is £192

Personally for a £62 price difference i'd go brand new (i bought mine new), these devices might have taken a hammering and have been around a fair few years. That said, you do get buyers protection on 2nd hand goods on Ebay. If you can afford it i think i'd still buy new though.

Yeah.. Your right. I was probably going to buy new for an extra £60 quid. Might even hold fire until Black Friday/cyber Monday.. it's so close now and there might be a larger saving to be had.

I did a quick google search, that £192 price you've found was cheaper than i could find. Was that for the complete set (wheel/pedals/shifter)? The shifter isn't essential as u have a paddle shift on the wheel but it's nice to have when the cars you're driving have a traditional gearbox.

No. Sadly not. It was just the steering wheel and pedals.

I'm quite impulsive, so it's difficult for me not to want to buy it right away..

But it's only 48 days till Black Friday. I'd kick myself if during that time you could get wheel, pedals and shifter all for around the same price.

@tyke_ Lowest price for wheel, pedals and gear shift is £208.. Should I pounce or wait till November? I doubt it's gonna go any lower by much?

are there any sales in november (when is black friday?), if it's in november it might be worth waiting. but £208 is a good price imo, i'm sure i paid more than that a few years ago for mine and things were cheaper then. if you think the £208 price may go up i'd pounce.

24th November is Black Friday.

I think I'm going to hold out. I'm hopeful that it might be even less by then.
