![]() There’s no rattling or herky-jerky nature to the wheel at all instead, the pull feels smooth and you can really get a sense of how your virtual car is bucking around as you make hard turns or how much you have to whip it back to break out of a bit of oversteer. Going from the gear-driven G923 to the direct-drive G Pro feels like a night-and-day difference. Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel – Performance It also doesn’t have any RJ45 ports to support accessories from other companies either. Without any legacy VGA ports, it isn’t backward compatible with Logitech’s own G Driving Force Shifter unless you buy some cable adapter mods – but I haven’t been able to test this myself yet. One annoying limitation is that it only has USB ports for outside peripherals. That said, once Logitech inevitably starts making F1 and other themed wheels for what will likely be both platforms, you might be able to take advantage of the PS5/PS4 version’s extra compatibility. However, since Logitech hasn’t started selling the wheels separately, you’ll have to buy the Xbox-compatible version of the G Pro wheel to get your hands on one. That said, you could buy the PS5 version of this wheel and it will work with the Xbox Series X/S if you switch out the PlayStation wheel for an Xbox one. Meanwhile, you can change all of the springs behind a pedal without using any tools at all.Īs for compatibility, the G Pro comes in two flavors that either support the Xbox Series X|S consoles and PC or the PS5/PS4 and PC. ![]() Loosening or undoing a few bolts lets you easily slide or remove them altogether. It’s also incredibly easy to adjust and move the pedals around. The load cell brake pedal feels especially good since it detects force through how hard you press your foot, so the harder and faster you hit it, the harder you’ll brake in-game. ![]() Given the $350 price, it’s a bit disappointing that they’re completely constructed out of plastic, but at least they feel solidly built overall, and it helps all three of the pedals have weighty springs behind them. The foot pedals are a huge step up from the ones that come included with the G923, though to be clear these are sold separately. ![]() You can also use the OLED display to adjust all the wheel’s settings, like force feedback and Trueforce strength, the operating angle of the wheel, and the paddle modes – and you can append all of these settings to five separate profiles to make switching between racing games easier. Out of the box, this small screen shows all your wheel and pedal telemetry, but you can switch it to show your gear position, speed, or just a live ticker of how much torque the wheel is putting out. The G Pro wheelbase also features a customizable OLED display. Fortunately, it comes with a desk mount that does a perfectly good job of keeping it clipped in place despite all that bulk and power. It’s also fairly large at 305 x 290 x 200mm, so it’s nowhere near as compact as its newest rivals from Fanatec and Moza. Moving on to the wheelbase, it’s an absolute unit, tipping the scales at 15.4lbs (7kg). Logitech hasn’t confirmed the future availability of F1 or other themed wheels that will work with the G Pro wheelbase, but it is an almost certain possibility. You can also easily and quickly remove the wheel rim completely thanks to its quick-release mechanism. The mechanical-like click of the paddle shifters feels amazingly satisfying and tactile despite the fact that it actually uses a magnetic system with contactless hall-effect sensors. Alternatively, you can set up the bottom pair of paddle switches to act as analog levers for gas and brake. The metal paddle shifters are also nice and large, and you get two sets of them so you can make gear changes no matter how you’re holding the wheel. It’s also a bit bigger, with a more true-to-life 300mm (11.81-inch) diameter compared to the more child-friendly 280mm (11-inch) diameter of the G923 and the DD Pro. The wheel itself feels nice and rugged, with a big metal plate in its center. Unlike a traditional joystick, it is more like a flight stick hat, so navigating menus feels confident with small distinct clicks. The most curious and welcome addition is the small, tactile joystick within reach of my left thumb. It’s also not too far to reach down to the trigger buttons or even the menu buttons and dials controls. ![]() Its layout is a clear evolution from the G923 wheel, with the same row of controller face buttons that your thumbs can easily access while your hands are planted at ten and two. The G Pro doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel for racing wheels. ![]()
