Excitement and complete irresponsibility exist in the overall rating for the G29, from people who have never touched a steering wheel and play Forza Horizon 4!
I will try to be concise in the description so as not to bore you.
Force Feedback: The once pioneering Logitech in this field has managed to be surpassed by its two major competitors with this wheel and has also managed to be the worst among its own past models.
Noise: Because I see that there is confusion on this matter, if you don't want noise, go for a gamepad. It is not possible for someone to want to play with a wheel, three pedals, and optionally a gear shifter and expect it to be silent, especially in race conditions. It is ridiculous to discuss this. Regarding noise, I would only mention the inaccuracy of the wheel in gear shifting, which happens internally due to poor design in construction and poor force feedback.
Build Quality: The wheel has mediocre build quality, the pedals have good to very good quality, and the gear shifter has mediocre to poor quality and is not worth the €50, it should be sold for €25.
The layout of the wheel reminds to some extent of a PlayStation 2 gamepad, and I wish the button quality was as good as Sony's. Unfortunately, the quality is at an imitation level.
The pedals are of very good quality and are the best and most qualitative part of the set. In fact, Logitech has done a very good job with the brake pedal, which is the most underrated point of reference for people who were playing with a keyboard until yesterday and think that the brake pedal should be pressed at 100% of its strength, whether in a game or in reality.
Driving Accuracy: There is accuracy in the rotation of the wheel that will not cause any problems. Depending on the degrees we have set, we will turn where we want to turn. There is no delay between what we do and what happens in the game. Also, there is absolute linearity, and it is one of the good points of the G29.
Pedals: Undoubtedly, the brake pedal is the highlight of the set. The clutch and the accelerator should have more resistance and should not be linear. Unfortunately, the software does not help, and only in a few games like Richard Burns Rally do you have the luxury to change such settings.
Software: Here we have another mess from Logitech's geniuses. The good Logitech Profiler is not compatible with the G29. Now, with the G Hub or Logitech software, you cannot adjust/change/tweak the force feedback according to your needs, and this is tragic. It's a big flaw from Logitech in this area.
To sum up, buying the G29 at a normal price, not the €400 it cost when it first came out, and having the shifter will satisfy and enhance your experience in racing games. However, if you have the financial comfort, I would recommend going for something better that the other two competitors can offer in terms of force feedback and accuracy, especially in pedals and the shifter. So, if you have the G25, G27, or any other Logitech wheel with force feedback and want an upgrade, don't go for the G29. If you have a limited budget, go for the G29. If you are financially comfortable, look a bit higher.
