  • combine this wheel with a Logitech Wingman Force feedback joystick, FFshifter software, bungee cord pedal mod, and any older wheel's gas pedal as the clutch and you have something like the G25/27

  • .........

  • whats wrong with having button just like the ones on the ps3 controller? ITS MADE FOR PS3!

    its not going to xbox butttons is it !

  • The problems i have with this wheel is like he said the pedals are to close together which forces your to sit with your knees almost touching. I dont think logitech realised that most of the people buying this wheel are men not women. And if you sit with your legs apart it strains both your ankles. The other problem I have is with the pedals again (the wheel is perfect) and its the brake pedal of course. Its feels broken because when you hit the brakes the first half bit of braking is easy to p

  • Is this currently (2011) the best driving wheel on the market for the pc?

  • great review,

    im gonna buy it!!! xD

    g27 is not like the g25 since the sequential gear shifter is gone and i do like that option available... and its alot more expensive than the DFGT, so im getting what suits best for my budget, and that works best with my sims/games, and for my pleasure.

  • @HoLDoN4Sec How are you liking it? I just ordered the DFGT today.

  • @SpyOpz94

    well, it has a really good built quality...

    i think that the pedals could be better, but they are pretty fine.

    the shifter is ok, the knob is really high quality.

    the wheel itself is extremely beautiful! and its quality is very good!

    so far i played TDU1, TDU2, LFS, GRID and the wheel performed extremely well.

    i just ordered a modified (add-on) paddle shifters for it off ebay, so, its one of the best wheels ive ever had...

    overall, for the price, you get more than you pay with it :)

  • @HoLDoN4Sec Cool, and I was wondering, you could even buy a new pedal set to it right? And is it really loud when you turn it fast?

  • @SpyOpz94

    i assume you can, because my friend is using a g25 pedals with his g27 (no idea why lol)

    and about the loudness, it kinda depends on your driving style, if when you drive you often make hard turns, and spin the wheel from side to side very fast, than of course it will be loud, but since this IS a force feedback wheel, there's no way it will be 100% quiet, so i'd say its not that loud, but if you take your volume to medium, you wont hear it.

  • dumbass! this wheel was designed with GT5 in mind... all the other games need to adjust to it, not the other way arround!

  • dumbass! this wheel was designed with GT5 in mind... all the other games need to adjust to it, not the other way arround!

  • He said Gran Tureesmo 5

  • where can i get the driver for pc (5.0.4)?

    please give me a download link

  • @Smackfish1 Check out the logitech website.

  • @dacarfreak2000 can you please give me a download link because i cant find it on the website

  • The new drivers for the wheel fixed all the buttons!!!!!

  • 2:46 looks like a sewing machine

  • GAY

  • @MrKillTheZombie TROLL!!!!!!

  • Has anyone tried this wheel for Need for speed Underground 2? (yup the old games are win!) ;)

  • it's a PS3 wheel thats compatible with the PC. Not the other way around

  • does any1 else have a proplem with it going back n forth on GT5? or is it suppose to do it

  • i wish their was a way t turn of the driveing force feed

  • @xZiiZel there is, dont plug in the power

  • @S1n1sterTech haha since then i got use to it

  • 1:19 was darin driving backwards with a ferrari!?!

  • @dacarfreak2000 Good catch, we reversed the shot.. ;)

  • Hes right about the pedals, just got my wheel today, found some decent quick mods with bungie cord really helps when you want to rest you foot on the break, thinking about doing the same for the throttle, just google logitech driving force gt and bungie mod, The wheel is amazing no doubt about it and with 3rd party pedals like the ones from fanatic would be amazing if you only PC sim race, you have to use the pedals that came with wheel for ps3 8(

  • I wont damn break my wall to make a hole for that racing wheel lol!

  • Would be nice ty. Also thinking of getting a g27 if I return this or should I just get another dfgt

  • @simracingtonight did your guys dfgt wheel ever remap the buttons during a race in gt5 by themselves? I've tired unplugging and replugging but it keeps happening and ideas? Any help wou

  • @ilikebumfluff lol...

  • as this wheel only has an accelerate/ break pedel (no clutch) will this wheel work a manual racing wheel?

  • kut reclame, but a good steering wheel

  • yeah the shifter was kinda a let down for me..when i got mine i was less than happy to find out it only clicked up or down...but over all,for the money you get a great wheel.

  • his voice is hella gayy.

  • this wheel is sold out at all the gamestops, anyone know when i will have a chance to buy one?

  • @selohs ebay?

  • @born2kill08 i dont have a credit card

    

  • @selohs at gamestop! duh  i bought one today

  • @peak199 at my gamestop they said they were sold out for like the next month..

  • @selohs Well,trust me,you aren't missing anything. Most people I know end up using the driving force wheel with the ac.power cord un-plugged, because the force feedback is pretty lame.

  • @peak199 yeah but it holds its place it doesnt fly back like the gamestop one.

  • @selohs mine is the gamestop one.

  • @peak199 so is mine and i hate it, not syaing theres anything wrong with it, i just like the logitech one better.

  • @selohs OH I miss understood you then.I have the logitech driving force one from gamestop.I just use it with the ac adapter unplugged.

  • @peak199 why?

  • @selohs because the force feedback is horrible in most cases.It's suppossed to make it more realistic,but it just makes it bad.is much better without it plugged in

  • @peak199 does it snap back when you let go of it without it plugged in?

  • @selohs no.it doesn't do anything but steer.no vibration,no pulling,nothing.I am all for realism,but I ,like many people, don't like the force feedback on this wheel.It is ''unrealistic to me,and just makes it annoying.I have driven many real race cars,and many 500 and 600 hp muscle cars.They are not so hard to control.Only when you are really flying,or doing a wheelie.Honestly,this doesn't even steer that great unplugged.But I think it's gran turismo more than the wheel.

  • @peak199 wow, i still think its better than the one that gamestop made, maybe its just because i like logitech o.0

  • @selohs I like racing games.The problem I have always had is from the first gran turismo game eons ago,the steering has been jerky compared to some other racing games.This new one is the same.And with this wheel,I turn the wheel a little,but it doesn't turn(at least not right away).So you have to turn it a little more,and the all of the sudden the car goes drastically left or right.The force feedback makes it even worse.Even unplugged I couldn't steer the ferrari at 50 or 60 mph.

  • @peak199 is there no way to change the steering in the settings?

  • @selohs Yeah,there is.But the force feedback settings go from 1 to 10,and do little or nothing to change the constant pulling from left to right.Then there are power steering settings,and maybe sensitivity settings.Just isn't fun to drive like that.Sometimes it seems to be ok,then it is horrible.Like I said before,if you turn it a little,sometimes nothing happens.Then you turn it a little more,and you are into the wall.So you turn it the other way,and you spin out.Even going slow.

  • fuck i dont have anywhere to place mine... suggestions!?

  • The dfgt is really the best you can get for the price, I know, I know there is the g25 + g27. but they are 300 or 400 bucks. this is 120 bucks. This is still a great wheel, and it works for all driving games other than the 50$ ones that are a piece of crap.

  • Would you say that this the best bang for the buck for a sub 200 dollar wheel?

  • its funny becuase he sounds like a stereotypical nerd

  • @willbwill180 Lol when he said gran tureeeeeeeeeeesmo

  • @Bobobidodo Thats how your supposed to pronounce it... we americans are just used to saying turismo.

  • @Bobobidodo thats how it is meant to be said tureeeeesmo .... alot say it as tur-I-smo... weird cos its spelt the latter ... i call it the latter still

  • @JAGDRB i know right my friend says tureeeesmo and i say turismo

  • wheel is great and def lot more fun than using a pad. but it does oftenly not calibrate correctly so you may need to turn left or right to go straight in game. that really sucks. they claim it to be a software problem that is gonna be fixed. i hope they ll realize it soon

  • Can't wait getting this!

    LFS... iRacing... etc. :D

  • 24 People use controllers.

  • I appreciate the review. It helped me understand that the brand new one I received is defective. Mine has some play in it that makes driving in a straight line nearly impossible, The force feedback clicks and slips(?) giving an overall horrible feel. Also the brake pedal sticks down. Best thing going for my set is the sequential shifter... since it does work.

    Logitech QA is not impressing me! I hope the replacement works a bit better.Any comment on durability?

  • why not talking about the shifter. he didn't even notice it.

    too bad review

  • @D2608J he didn't talk of the shifter because is on the pc, the driver think the wheel is a driving force pro without the gear the shift and the + - button

  • lol, gran treesmo 5

  • DOES THIS ALSO WORK FOR PLAYSTATION 2? SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME

  • @lucirz Yes it does.

  • @lucirz Hell Yeah! I was using it to play GT3 and GT4! I couldn't believe how responsive and natural it felt! Now All Sony needs to do is allow you play ps2 games once more in HD :-p

  • very good review, i think i'll get one for gt5.

  • I'm selling one in great condition. Message me if interested. I can make a video for it if needed. Paypal only.

  • This is a good wheel untill i brought the G27 Its feels alot smoother with the dual force feed back.. and quite. The GT4 wheel is good if you are buying a cheep wheel.

  • Whats better for pc racing (I normally play f1 2010), this or the thrustmaster rgt force feedback pro clutch edition

  • I got the GT wheel and am absolutely amazed with it, don't ever race another race with a gamepad, this wheel will double your enjoyment. YOU CAN FEEL THE ROAD, it's absolutely amazing and worth every single penny. Not only will you be satisfied but you'll be amazed.

  • It's only $99 now & it's without a doubt the best bang for your buck on console or PC. wish it had clutch

  • Amazon has this for $70!!!

    $150 - instant $50 - $30 mail in rebate = $70.

    expires 12/13

  • @jpg8700

    I mean 11/13

  • @jpg8700 Argh I just missed it. Instant discount now down to $20. Oh well $100 is still not bad. To get the rebate from Amazon you have to purchase by 11/13 and submit rebate form by 12/13.

  • So any word of when they're going to come out with a newer version with better pedals?

  • So I can buy aftermarket pedals for my df gt ?

  • Finally a wheel i can buy which is cheap and good

    why would i buy a G27 for 600 dollars when my car cost that much

  • dus this work with gta4 when driving a car ?

  • Comment removed

  • can this wheel work along with the fanatec clubsport pedals?

  • i have a question... could i change the pedals of driving force gt to a pedals with clutch???

  • Where do I get the "High-End Pedals"? I need some.

  • @elliotLR22elliot

    I'd take a look on Fanatec ClubSport Pedals

  • will this wheel work on any racing game? 

  • how do you change the dgrees of rotaion for the wheel??

  • @finlaar11 go into Logitech profiler, click edit, then click specific game settings.

    You can then adjust the degrees of rotation from there.

  • This wheel is one of the best compared to a G25/27 Just because is dose not have a clutch pedal or H pattern gear box? dose not mean this is shit house.. i have had no problems with this at all its a lot cheaper for the kids who don't have a job to buy one instead of getting a G25/27 for $250/$400 should go take a look its a great wheel. Good luck who ever gets one.

  • I want those "high end" pedals

  • jeez man, blow your nose...

  • A 92 for the price Shaun...? You have to mention the fact that it doesn't have a clutch or a six speed MT, or is pc compatiable.(even though you got it working;)

  • @crystalboarder96 it IS PC compatible Logitech has driver out for it, i can map every button on the wheel.

  • how much can i adjust the wheel as in higher angle or lower and what do you recommend if i dont have a place to mount it

  • Can i use the Driving Force GT with the clubsport pedals ?

  • Completely agree with your guys' views on the pedals. Yeah, they're horrible, but worth living with because the wheel itself is so damn good. If You could hook up the pedals from a G25/G27, I think it would be one of the best wheels out there, even today.

    By the way, have you guys reviewed the Wheel Stand Pro?

  • wow your voice is annoying

  • Should I buy one?

  • @simracingtonight How good is the vibration and force feed back??

  • @n18brad very good !

  • @simracingtonight I dont mean to nag but is it anything like the Logitech G25???

  • how much would it cost now? Id love to have realistic pedals but ima mainly use it for nascar 09 and thats not very realistic anyway, i never use the breaks anyway :P

  • Can you use the driving force gt with other games except gran turismo?

  • @fifa10man yes, i know theres a few on ps3, but it will work with almost everything on computer

  • will the dfp work on the pc plzz help

  • @bj2much yes

  • Got one Since last Saturday, and since yesterday the Force Feedback Engine is broken.... wrote a mail to Logitech 2 days ago, still no answer... tomorow i gonna call these idiots... i Mean WTF, BROKEN AFTER 5 DAYS????

    ThE first 4 days it was an Awesome Whee,l, awesome feeling, and at the 5th day the pedals and the force feedback broke.... Fucking Bullshit

  • go and buy a real car waste of money

  • is G25?????????

  • This dude is fucking dumb, he actually think that this wheel is for the PC? It's a PS3 wheel BUT you can plug it in to your PC. Gran Turismo is a PlayStation game, not a PC game retard. 

  • where is that place

  • these things suck why you buy them instead of buying a 50 $ for pc !!!! soooooo stupid

  • If this wheel was developed specifically for PS3 why would you use it on pc, knowing it would be lacking some of the features? Seems like you'd get a bad impression of the features of the wheel since it is being improperly used.

  • @favianutube It was developed for both and marketed for the PS3.. Check the Logitech website and see that they have a driver supporting full compatibility on the PC.. Also works great on the PS3

  • @simracingtonight got it. thanks, i thought they optimized it for PS3's GT series.. Does the G27 have full compatibility with GT? Just trying to figure out if i should have plunked down the extra change and gotten a G27

  • @simracingtonight that wasn't the point favianutube was making. the point is, this wheel was designed SPECIFICALLY for PS3. Logitech then released softwares so that it can be played on PCs as well. Yet in your review, you were complaining about features not working on PC. Well, no shit, it wasn't designed for PC.

  • @hmwillow Geesh.. Some people are so harsh.. Maybe you should listen to his first words of the review in part one "Shame on me for using it on my PC".

    So what if it was made for GT5.. ..It works grat and is a preffered wheel on the PC.

  • @simracingtonight lol preferred wheel for PC??? yea for cheap noobs...its a console whore all day telling by its lack of design and shifter mounted on dash. everyone knows G25/27 and Farrari are the preferred wheels for PC. this is a P.O.S that is also compatable with PC games. o and he just said "shame for using the wheel" I heard no prefrence of system LOL!!! then he wants compatability for a PC so he can fully utilize some shitty paddle/sequential shifting...n00b....6 speed gearbox FTW!

  • @gunblade1499 At the time of this airing, yes.. It still is a good wheel that drivers can be very fast with.. I love it when we're called "noobs".. We know of many top notch "alien" drivers that still use the DFGT with a separate pedal set..

    Tell ya what.. Im not even the one that did this review and I can bet I can beat you with a DFGT I have here while you shift that 6 speed.. Hit us up anytime for the challenge.. Pick your software and we'll race..

    Darin

  • @simracingtonight LMAO!!! LFS And drift server...o and the point of the game is to be fair so you would need a 6 speed loser. yea talk shit about not having to actually drive and have the computer do the work for you...sad...you dont even have a clutch you might as well just use the keyboard...its like an auto Honda vs my RB25...

  • @gunblade1499 Talk about LMAO .. LFS drift server ?? What are we going to drift for points or something in some open server? No thanks..

    I think you're the one who's going to be the loser.. "Let the computer do the work".. If we were driving real cars, Im sure you'd be no match for me.... Since I have the luxury of not messing with 6 speed shifters that feel no where near real, why should I be slower ?

    Also, how many open wheel cars, or even modern tin tops have 6 speed gate shifters ?

  • @gunblade1499 Shut the fuck up immature bitch

  • @simracingtonight Ok I challenge you on race driver GRID I have a dfgt wheel too

  • @simracingtonight what separate pedal set is compatable with the dfgt? i'm pretty curious.

  • Could you tell me, which buttons don't work on PC?

  • @HeadbangingGermany They all do now.. Logitech released a new driver about a year ago.

  • @simracingtonight: Wow, cool... thanks anyway for the quick reply :)

  • Is Live for Speed or rFactor a better sim?

  • i might get this wheel but can i solve the pedal issue with some g25 pedals.

  • This wheel costs 600 Reais or around 350 dollars here in Brazil, the G25 costs over 500 hundred dollars. You guys are so lucky. Im feeling jealous. I hate taxes.

  • @rodrigomtos17 can't you order it from a different country??.... So deves pagar mais ao menus 30 dollars de correio...

  • You guys sound like such nerds when you like it attaches to most SIM rigs. SIm,sim,sim,sim

  • I dont know what problem he has with the setup of the pedals, if he means the actual way the pedals work, the pedal assembly is similar to the one of a real porsche 911.

  • I hate those "paddle shifters"

    i should have got a G25 lol

  • i bought one for $85 last year..

    the springs of the pedals have already gone soft

    The pedals are Really flimsy lol..

    do you guys have a solution for this? =] Thx anyway..

    Supporting you guyz!

  • man i hate the voice of this guy!!!!!

  • don't the motors get stressed from being forced to go the way it doesn't want to?

  • i just got it today

  • can u change the pedals for this wheel is that possibly?

  • anyone knows if i can plug my formula force ex pedals into that wheel?

  • can someone give me a list of all the driving force wheel names

  • Is the Driving Force GT loud because now I'm definantly going to buy one for GT5, that is if I can find one for $100 with a warranty

  • Does anyone know if this wheel works with PS2 games running on a 60gb PS3?

  • can some 1 tell me the name of the song at the end of the video

  • please tell me this logitech work on pC ????

  • how many degree it can turn...??!?!?!

  • 900

  • I'm going to get one of these when I get Gran Turismo 5.

  • @Ignore14 Its a brilliant wheel ive just bought one with gt5

  • i'd rather get a Driving force gt steer much better!!

  • Thanks for this review. It convinced me to buy it to use with the PC, and boy am I glad I did. This wheel is amazing.

    Using it with Dirt 2 (takes a registry tweak), and it's amazing. Using this on a big HDTV and an AK rocker gaming chair, with the hood view of the car... makes me feel like I'm driving.

  • @splintereddoor

    Hi what kind of registry tweak are needed? how do you tweak it?

    thank you.!

  • Hi splintereddoor what was the registry tweak you needed to do? as im looking to get this for the Dirt 2 on the PC

  • @splintereddoor

    do you know how to sync this wheel to Daytona USA? bcoz the pedals arent seem to be recognised by the game. thanks

  • @splintereddoor registry tweak?

    i want to buy this wheel, g25 and g27 are too expensive,

    and i'll be playing dirt 2 and GT5,

    what tweaks need to be made?

  • Im thinking of getting this wheel because my Thrustmasters wheel for the PC has basically stopped working properly and ive found it quite cheap at £70 ($ 110) so is it worth it or should i go for a different wheel

  • my dfgt broke once, so i got a new one and it ad the same problems from new, the wheel felt like it was going to snap, it felt like it was skipping gears or something, it was off center for some reason, and when you stopped mid-game the wheel moved on it own and it sounded really dodgy, has anyone else experienced any of these with a dfgt?

  • I got one for $68.

    Now let's hope "reconditioned" doesn't bite me in the butt.

    I'm planning on getting a Fanatec 911 Turbo S wheel, but in th meantime, this will do.

  • Great buy !

  • @simracingtonight

    how come that price ...

  • the 911 turbo wheel sucks man...

    dunk get it... buy a logitech g25

  • I've seen and liked Fanatec wheels very much. Plus, I want the 3-system support. What undeniably sucks is Fanatec's limited releases of these wheels, either way.

    I'd go with Logitech because of availability, and well, they're Logitech, but even after GT5 hits I can't be without Forza. :-|

  • lool i wrote dunk instead of don't... XD

    that's what happnes when you play basketball too much...

  • @frigginjoe where did you buy it from

  • got the wheel today,very happy clamps are great easy to tighten or remove.just need to improve my driving.installation was easy,only draw back for me is the cables but there nice and long....

  • hi ive just orderd this wheel for my ps3.how do the clamps hook on your table do they slide on and you tighten them or do you hae to fix it to a table perminatly.i have a metal comp table i want to use would it be ok to hook up on that and remove it if i need to thanks

  • The clamp on the Logitech wheels are rock solid.. Should work great for you..

  • hey i have a question. so pound for pound/price performance ratio wise, which is the best wheel out of these four? thrustmaster ferrari f430 force feed back, logitech driving force GT, logitech G25, and lastly, G27? thanks

  • If you were to combine the DFGT with G25 pedals.. would the shifter work??

  • Don't think so.. not sure though

  • it was made for the ps3. not pc

  • correct.. but it's fully functional and has drivers for the PC. Actually has better force feedback on the PC too.

    Darin

  • just got my G27 a few days love it but as a little side project i rewired the pedals from the G25 to work with my DFGT wow these pedals with this wheel is a killer combination loving em both.

  • hahaha PSHHHH

    "This is one bad ass looking wheel"

    I think that it is overly priced $149

    1: only reason *it is compatible with 3 systems, PC, PS2, and PS3* (though that proves to be a very convenient)

    2. This is over priced if you are looking for a PC only steering wheel with outstading performace.

    Check Out: Logitech Momo Steering Wheel

    Yes!!!! *Momo* this steering wheel was actually designed partly by a real Momo design and true to life physical Force Feed-back!!! around $99
