A professional-grade racing experience certainly doesn't come cheap.
I've been working at PCMag since November 2016, covering all areas of technology and video game news. Before that I spent nearly 15 years working at Geek.com as a writer and editor. I also spent the first six years after leaving university as a professional game designer working with Disney, Games Workshop, 20th Century Fox, and Vivendi.
Logitech is launching a new professional-grade racing wheel and pedals aimed at professional sim drivers(Opens in a new window) , or anyone serious about racing games.
The Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel(Opens in a new window) uses magentic gear shift paddles with contactless hall effect sensors to produce a "realistic, mechanical feel." Dual analog clutch paddles allow for a dual clutch setup, but can also be configured to act as a handbrake or gas and brake pedals depending on the type of racing. The wheel itself has buttons and dials located in a "thumb sweep" allowing for easy access to everything without need to move your hands.
The Pro Racing Pedals(Opens in a new window) include pressure detection, which allows for "improved muscle memory," and the pedals are customizable. You can swap out the springs for a firmer or software feel, and they use contactless hall effect sensors just like the gear shift paddles on the wheel. A modular design also allows for the pedal spacing to be adjusted to suit your feet.
Logitech allows up to five different racing profiles to be stored on the wheel and uses a quick release mounting system for a swift mount or removal from a desk. You can also use the wheel and pedals across a range of platforms including Windows 10/11 gaming PCs, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Regardless of where you use the wheel, Logitech is promising 11 newton meters of force from an all-new Direct Drive motor, and the wheel supports Logitech's proprietary high-definition force feedback technology called Trueforce.
Gaming accessories that claim to offer a professional-grade experience are inevitably going to carry a higher price, and that's certainly the case here. The Pro Racing Wheel will cost $999, while the Pro Racing Pedals are an additional $349, taking your total spend to $1,348 for the set. They should be available before the end of September either directly from LogitechG.com or through a range of global retailers.
