Logitech G27 used or G29 new

[kasato181]

Hi, am looking for advice from someone who used G29, am planing to buy a wheel but not sure does it better to buy used G27 for 250 euros or a new G29(with shifter) for 325e. I know all the stat about buttons and shifter bla bla. BTW if i buy any it will be for longer period...So Any advice?

As a G27 user only, I prefer the G27 due to the shifter buttons. Otherwise, the only advantage the G29 has is cheaper and quieter.

Yes i know that but cant decide does for 75e difference in price, worth something used or new stuff,i mean new is new, but ppl saying G29 has a high price....

I recommend getting a new wheel. A lot of wheels get abused so when you do buy used, you never know what you're gonna get. It could have a couple hundred hours or a couple thousand(like mine). If you want to minimize the risk and want a quality wheel, go ahead and get the G29. It being new would be well worth the price you're paying.

I have been using G29 for a few months now, after i sold my old MOMO. The reason because i wanted to have a 900 degree wheel. I was comparing G29 with Thrustmaster. But i ended up with G29 because it's cheaper than Thrustmaster.

So far G29 has no problems at all. I am satisfied with G29. But i wish it would have a button on the shifter so that i could use to split the gears. And i wish it would use the belt technology like Thrustmaster instead of the old mechanic techonolgy. Because they say that the belt technology feels very smooth like real cars. You might want to consider that.

Yes i know the system of Logitech wheels, i wish the Thrustmaster T500 cose all of reason you said, but the price of T500 is to much for me. i would be happy with G29 cose am not planing to change him minimum 5 year (if not brake:))...BTW ppl saying that g27 shifter work on g29 saw a few video to, so if you find someone who selling it in good shape that could be the solution, OR what i like more is this SKRS shifter but its not cheap :/

Do NOT get the CSIO shifter. Get the one from TechAffiliation instead. CSIO is backlogged(and doesn't care) by about a year now.

I purchased a used g27 from eBay for £80 which was a bargain it was in mint condition and works flawlessly so if you are buying second hand try before you buy.... Logitech make great wheels and they last even with heavy use.... Most of the time.... Nothing wrong with buying second hand if you can try it out before you buy it other than that if you buy it from eBay and it has an issue when you get it eBay would back you with a refund claim also PayPal... But most sellers are pretty honest not all but most
