Logitech G27 Racing Wheel Review
I bought the G27 about a month ago now and I've logged 36 hours playing F1 2010 since then. It was a big leap for me to spend this much on a racing wheel as I'm somewhere in between an arcade racer and a sim racer but I couldn't have made a better choice. Everything is extremely well made and has a solid feel to it. Leather feels and smells great, paddle shifters are solid, all the pedals require different pressure to floor, and the bolt-on feature works flawlessly. Force feedback is incredible. I love the way the wheel jostles me around when I hit the apex. On a couple occasions, I could actually feel that one of my front wheels had developed a flat spot before the tyre inevitably burst. Perhaps what's most impressive is how long I can race before feeling any strain. With my old xbox 360 controller, I would race for about 45 continuous minutes before I couldn't stand it anymore. With the g27, I run these F1 races on full length and go for 2 hours no problem. I don't know if this is a feature or not but races of this length also make me authentically drenched in sweat. lol. I was a bit worried about racing from my computer chair but it works out pretty well. You obviously don't drive a car sitting this up right but you seem to forget that pretty quickly when you get racing. The one and only drawback there is to this unit moving it. I have to move the wheel from my desk every time I want to play a first person shooter or type comfortably. Everything is tethered together so everything has to move to my bed on the left.
To sum up here, if you're on the fence about getting your money's worth with this wheel, put those worries to rest. The g27 is well built and well thought out.
