G29 vs G923

[Neptun]

Hello,
I read and watched a lot of reviews, but still I'm not sure which one to choose. I'm considering between Logitech G29 and Logitech G923. Any recommendations? I know that G923 has a better (I'm not sure if it's that big difference from g29) brake stiffness, but it's a bit louder (reducing Force Feedback should help). Is it worth to pay +/- 50 bucks more to get G923? Thanks in advance for your answers.

G29. mate. You can replace the stock springs with firmer one's if need be. Personally, it's one of the best rigs I have owned. Plus, you can upgrade the steering wheel.

if my answer doesn't bother and they delete it later, i'll tell you that for common mortals the g29 is very good, it's not necessary to spend a lot of money on the steering wheel. the problem with logitech steering wheels, i don't know about the others, is that every 2 years the potentiometers of the pedals get dirty and have to be cleaned. but this is like everything in life, you have to choose, windows or linux? android or i-phone? pc or mac? well this is the same. i don't think it's worth it to buy other more expensive logitechs.
G923 is designed with the new ForceFeedback system in this case called TrueForce.
→ G923 has the dual clutch start function known as Launch Control which can be activated via the GHUB.
→ G29 is compatible with PS4, PS3, PS5 and PC.
→ G923 is manufactured in 2 identical versions, one for Xbox and PC and the other for PS4, PS5 and PC.
→ The brake pedal of G923 is less stiff and more progressive, giving a more realistic feel.
→ In similarities, we have the same amount of buttons, the same layout, the same pedalboard except for the small improvement to the brake pedal.

Thanks, I'm not looking for expensive wheel, as I decide between the budget ones. I mainly play sims like ETS, sometimes some racing games, so I am not looking for any high-end sim rig. Just, I'm not sure which one to pick, as the reviews said "go for G29", and the other ones pointed "go for G923 as it's G29 with upgrades". And I like your opinion as you pointed some of things that are important to me. I know that both wheels are good for their price, just I'd like to get any feedback from people who had them both/played on one of them to choose the perfect one for me. Thanks for letting me now the things you pointed out in bullets! :)

AFIK the TrueForce® feature in the G923 is not implemented in SCS sims, maybe in other games you play.
And that is the main difference. So maybe check if your other games support it.

Been using the G29 for many years, 4, about 2000 hours in SCS sims plus around 500 in F1 and Rally sims.

The wheel is an entry level, but a good one, with all the features I need for my weekend gaming sessions, 900 degrees turn, good FFB, lot of buttons

After a few months using mine, got a mounting base, bolted the wheel base, pedals and shift stick. If I may, that was the best, the break "issue" many ppl complain about, went away. Break pedal feels very similar to my RL car.

When choosing between Logi and TM, I opted Logi, because they have a proper office and support local, TM don't.

Yeah, G29 break stiffness, some people adress it as a problem, some call it "advantage". I wonder if it's close to the real brake in real car (at least from what I've experienced), or maybe fixed g923 stiffness is better for the reason. Atm, I think that I'm gonna go for G923, as it's a bit newer and the most of the reviews adress the refurbished brake system as a way better than in G29. Not to lie, I'm just building entry level sim-rig, so I don't want to pay 200$ more for the Moza/Thrustmaster T300 wheel. Especially if I count all the items I want to buy, it'll give +/- 1k USD for the whole rig. Great to hear detailed opinion like yours! Cheers!

You can replace the potentiometers with optical components. At Amazon, Price about 39EUR. It is very worth it.

i will look at this, thank you

Hello Tom
i am looking for that, but i cannot find it.

i also see magnetic sensors, are they worst?
i know nothing about electronic :)

thanks

Hello, I have been using the G929 for a long time and I have no problems. I also have the GH software with the black icon.

Hey, how the wheel is played with? What modal have you bought?

I decided to buy T300RS GT as it's belt driven and it was only a bit more expensive (on a sale) and I'm happy with that. G29/G923 would be enough for ATS/ETS but according to the reports, they're pretty loud so I wanted to buy a wheel which would be a bit more quiet. Moreover T300RS has better quality imho (tested friend's G923). I don't know where are you from, but at least in my country you can get T300RS GT on sale for +/- from 350 USD, meanwhile G29 and G923 are on the similar price lvl.

You didn'r make a bad decision Belt Drive is much better than Spline Drive. they have great pedal options and a very well regarded shifter as well now that you're in the TT Ecosystem

I have T300RS GT + I've bought TH8S shifter like 2 months ago and now I cannot imagine ETS/ATS (and some other games) without this setup :D
