Logitech G27 Racing Wheel

Pros: the wheel gets great reviews at site SimRacingTonght and SimRacingReview, and I trust their reviews as this a good product but Newegg keeps changing the price on it - I live on a very strict budget so I try to watch how I spend my money

Cons: keep changing the price, so far this last month I saw at least three (3) different prices here - they are good at keeping the prices down but some times you wonder

Pros: Advanced steering wheel.
Partially leather clad.

Cons: Obviously lower quality than the former MOMO wheel Logitech had. More buttons, but less weight and solid feel.
Sharp edges on the aluminum paddles required filing down because they were sharp enough to cut fingers.
The aluminum shield on the button panel is flapping because it's so loose - there's no way to fasten it; it's just bad tolerance values.
The pedal set slides on smooth floors. The small rubber pads don't provide nearly enough traction, so unless you have a carpet and can use the carpet hooks, you need to place something behind the pedals to prevent them from sliding.

Other Thoughts: The bean counters have had a field day with this product. I really wish quality would improve with new models, not go down. I would gladly trade all the extra features like extra buttons and HUD switches for something simpler with higher quality.
It's still one of the better wheels you can get, and the price is good for the tech you get, just not for the quality.

Pros: I love the way the wheel feels when I use it for racing games. The force feedback is very nice, not too overpowering but just enough so you can feel like you are racing or driving. It is a wonderful wheel for games like Test Drive Unlimited 2, DiRT3, Euro Truck Simulator 2 etc etc. The leather on the wheel feels nice and provides very nice grip. Same for the leather on the shifter. I had also bought the wheel when it was on sale, so that is an extra bonus for a great wheel.

Cons: Can't think of any. Logitech has satisfied my wants again!

Other Thoughts: The brake is a bit hard to use at first, you really need to push down on it. Not sure if that is how it normally comes. Also when I had received the wheel, the metal plate on the shifter was scratched up bad like someone had decided to attempt to use a knife and scratch into the plate.

Pros: Very nicely done. Very smooth.

Cons: Wish the gearbox could have a more sturdy plate.

Other Thoughts: Very happy with the wheel, it has great feedback in games, and the settings can be adjusted to your liking. This has definitely made driving games more enjoyable.

Pros: You can become an anime drift king

Cons: You realize you cant actually drift well from day 1

Other Thoughts: I bought this after watching Initial D.

I am now true anime Drift King

Pros: Super Great Quality. Worth Every Penny!!! Feels so life Like!!!

Cons: No horn or cup holder for my beer

Other Thoughts: horizontal swivel for the foot pedals would be the icing on the cake

Pros: *Best Bang for the Buck
*LOVING it for irking
*there are many wheel mods out there for this model

Cons: -NONE-

Other Thoughts: *this is the best first wheel for the price, my next wheel will be a BMW Club sport Wheel but that is $800.00

Pros: Overall an excellent wheel that has a functioning clutch and H-shifter. With the proper support, this wheel's FFB is very impressive. The overall performance of the wheel makes the cons mostly forgivable, and it does not bear the cost of higher end wheels.

Cons: The driver and software support of the wheel is hit and miss. After setting individual game profiles with the latest software and driver, I've found that the wheel will sometimes revert to its global setting. This is a massive annoyance in a longer race.

The wheel also suffers from poor cable management and flimsy cables. To elaborate, there is a track on the bottom of the wheel base that you must curve and bend these flimsy cables through. Not doing so results in pinched wires. Though there is a few modular cables, there are also several permanently fixed cables that are incapable of being replaced without a new base.

The G27 uses, in my opinion, an extremely ineffective mounting system. Even after tightening the mount as much as I could, the wheel tended to come loose while driving. I had to use 6m screws to keep the wheel from coming undone. The mounting system looks impressive, so I'm unsure if there can be any resolution to this issue without simply mounting it with screws. The H-shifter also suffered the same problem as the wheel base when shifting into reverse. (You have to put pressure on the top of the shifter and shift into where 6th would normally be)

Other Thoughts: I'm skeptical that this wheel will continue to put out great performance longer than a year or two, but it'll be fun while it lasts.

Pros: Logitech Durability. Good and sturdy. Desk clamp works great. Shifter was a bonus although it doesn't work with all sims. Wish it had a mode for sequential shifting like the G25.

Great design and size, smaller than my junk Fanatec but it felt right at home.

Cons: What the frack is up with the shipping. I mean the box looked like it fell 20 feet from a platform. Newegg is loosing a egg for that. I was concerned it wasn't going to work, and with the driver issues I had to deal with for a few hours had me almost convinced the wheel was damaged.

The box it was shipped in and the logitech box itself had damage and I have the pictures to prove it. Again not neweggs or Logitech fault but that was unacceptable.

Other Thoughts: I originally had 2 Fanatec wheels which I worked so smooth and ran great but there durability was weak.

Pros: Good initial quality. Awesome feel.

Cons: Gave it four stars because it is destined to fail like many many others.
