Hello there! :)

Have been thinking about getting a racing wheel for my PC.

i've had by eyes set on the Logtech G27, but recently saw they are going to release the G29 and G920 very soon.

So right now i'm just waiting for the G920 to release, but wanted to get some of your opinions if there are better solutions or for input, really.

G29 is PS only by the way. G920 looks to be VERY solid.

pc as well, not that it matters, its junk

It will actually work with PC, but good luck with those ugly Playstation logos everywhere.

So the G27 is the one to go for?

 

EDIT: which features is missing in the G920?

yes it, its better bang for buck, the g920 lacks the h panel shifter and rev meter

I have a G27 and it's pretty good, and I honestly think you should go for it instead of the G29/G920 'cause of the price difference, and I don't think the difference in software will be that high so might as well save a 100 bucks by choosing the G27 (not to mention that the shifter is included with the G27 and not with the G29/G920).

Other than that I had the occasion to try out the T300 in a gameshop and it was enjoyable as well but I don't know what the PC software is like and how well it is in the long run.

Try looking at forums like iRacing, they have generally very good advice and seeing how dedicated they are I would definitely trust their advice.

You know that the G920 is for Xbox One and PC, not Playstation, right?
