This Isn't Your Old G29

Let me be clear from the start — the Logitech G PRO is a completely different animal from the G29 or G923.

This is Logitech's entry into the direct drive market. 11 Nm of torque. TrueForce feedback technology. Built-in telemetry display. And it's priced to compete directly with Fanatec's CSL DD and the Thrustmaster T818.

I've put hours on this wheel across multiple sims — iRacing, ACC, GT7. I've compared it side-by-side with my Fanatec gear. And I'm going to tell you exactly where it wins, where it falls short, and who should buy it.

The Force Feedback — Where This Wheel Lives or Dies

Direct drive is all about one thing: accurate force feedback.

The G PRO delivers 11 Nm of torque through a direct drive motor. No gears, no belts — just motor to wheel shaft. That means you feel what the tires are doing in real time.

And here's what matters: the detail is there.

You feel weight transfer during trail braking. You feel the front tires starting to push in understeer. You feel the rear end getting light under power. These aren't vague vibrations — these are the signals you need to drive fast.

Compared to my Fanatec CSL DD? The G PRO has slightly less peak torque (11 Nm vs 8 Nm boosted to ~10), but the feedback fidelity is comparable. The difference isn't dramatic enough to cost you lap time.

Logitech's TrueForce technology adds high-frequency vibrations tied to the game's physics engine. It's most noticeable in GT7 — you feel engine vibration, gear changes, track surface detail. In iRacing, it's more subtle but still present.

Does TrueForce make you faster? No. But it makes the experience more immersive, which keeps you engaged during long practice sessions. And engaged practice is effective practice.

Build Quality — This Thing Is Built Like a Tank

The wheel rim is solid. Metal paddle shifters. Leather-wrapped grip. No flex, no rattles.

The wheel base itself is all metal construction. It's heavy — this isn't a lightweight unit you're moving around every weekend. But that weight translates to stability. Once it's mounted, it's not going anywhere.

The quick-release system is tool-free and rock solid. I've swapped wheels dozens of times testing different setups — zero play, zero issues.

One thing I appreciate: the on-wheel controls are intuitive. Rotary dials, LED indicators, everything you need without reaching for the PC. You can adjust force feedback strength mid-session, check your gear indicator, monitor critical telemetry.

This is where Logitech's experience building gaming peripherals shows. They understand user interface.

The Pedals — Surprisingly Good for the Price Point

The G PRO pedals are included in the bundle, and they punch above their weight.

Load cell brake. Adjustable pedal faces. Adjustable angles. The brake feel is progressive and consistent — critical for threshold braking and trail braking precision.

Are they as good as Heusinkveld Sprints or Simucube Active Pedals? No. But they're in the same conversation as Fanatec CSL Elite pedals, and that's saying something for a bundled set.

The clutch and throttle are basic but functional. Hall effect sensors, smooth travel, no dead zones. For most drivers, these pedals won't be the limiting factor in your performance.

If you're building your first serious sim rig or upgrading from a Logitech G29, these pedals are a solid foundation. You can always upgrade to standalone pedals later — but you won't need to immediately.

Software and Compatibility — Where Logitech Wins Hard

This is where the G PRO separates from the competition.

Plug and play compatibility across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Fanatec requires different wheel rims for different platforms. Thrustmaster has platform-specific bases. Logitech said
