G920 or TMX Pro?

[Legs]

I'm officially in the market for a new wheel. I watched a review done by Squirrel and i was really drawn to the two. Im sure both wheels are plastic in build but the logitech shifter is really what gets me to. The TM TH8A shifter seems so much better build wise but i want the community's opinion.

The G920 in my opinion is going to rattle and make a lot of noise for force feedback. Also might feel notchy because of the helical gear system. Plus the plastic shifter I don't think is any good.

The TMX Pro is a hybrid wheel...belt and pulley system which will be much smoother when comparing directly to the 920. Also should have stronger force feedback when compared to the 920.

By far the superior shifter is the TH8A.

Yeah im over the cheap plastic stuff. It just sucks that the shifter is another $150

i use the G920 logitech wheel, pedals and shifter. i havent used anything else so i cant comment on another wheel except for the logitech.

i have not had any issues with my wheel setup. i enjoy it. the shifter doesnt seem cheap to me. the pedals are nice. the brake pedal is stiff but i heard there is a rubber piece inside the spring that people are either removing or replacing with a light spring. i just left it and got used to it.

i am new to the wheels also so this is the only one ive used. i havent seen any rattle or noise when playing. i tinkered with some of the settings, maybe thats why. not sure.

i got my shifter/pedals/wheel for 250 around christmas last year.

G920, no questions.

G920, is what i use , have not used anything other than that so can not compare.
Never had a problem with G920 it has never felt notchy gear stick is only crap when i am, i miss a gear so does the stick. but never had any thing to complain about.

Over the last 12 years doing sim racing I've had Logitech G25, Fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 RS V2,
Thrustmaster T500 RS and now an OSW SimuCUBE (my last wheel I'll have to buy ).

Between the 920+shifter and TMX+TH8A shifter, I would definitely spend the bit more and get the TMX +TH8A.
The TH8A is in a totally different league than the tiny logitech shifter .
I have the TH8RS shifter, basically the same as TH8A, and I have no second thoughts of doing fast solid shifting when racing.
The Logitech is so small in size and shift lever throw that it feels fragile and delicate compared to the TH8.

TMX wheel looks better and has a better button layout.
Pedals,mmmmm each as good and bad as the other.

TMX Pro + TH8A.

Much more precise, powerful and responsive force feedback. Quieter and smoother feeling due to the belt+gear hybrid drive.

Bottom line - Logitech wheels are still using technology that's now well over a decade old with no significant changes to the underlying mechanics. If you can't afford to get a full belt drive wheel, the hybrid option is the way to go.

The TH8A shifter is light years ahead of the Logitech option and although expensive in comparison, it's absolutely worth it for the smoothness, durability and 8 gates vs 6 which allows for more options in many games.

As a future upgrade you can change the pedals for the T3PA-Pro which gives you the option to invert and add an after market load cell mod to the brake pedal (highly recommended).

You can complain about "old technology" but it's old for a reason, it's reliable. Belts break, belts slip. Gear driven is always the better option if you want reliability and durability. Belts are the cheapskate option.

Gears are reliable until the teeth wear or break. Belts can be replaced much more easily than gears.

Belt drive means more powerful feedback, more precision as well as smoother and quieter action.

You bought a Logitech and that's fine, it works and that's fine. But it is an objectively inferior wheel in pretty much every meaningful way when talking sim hardware.

G29 with a shifter the best choice good force feedback

You could always go the G920 + TH8A.
The shifter can be connected to pc by usb.

G29 + TH8A.

I had to bin 2 TH8A shifters. They are garbage. I use a Fanatec shifter now but it is very expensive. After I bought the fanatec I found these: https://www.shiftershh.com/en/
They are great value for money. Reviews are great also!

I would imagine that you gave them a good hammering in racing games. I have had mine for years and it is still as good as the day I purchased it. For ATS the TH8A Shifter is a perfect choice.

I own the G29.

- G29 has more buttons on it than the G920 for the same money. Get the G29 if you go Logitech.
- Force feedback - operating a modern truck is not too far from the same ease and comfort of driving car imo, so I use rather muted settings avoiding significant reaction to every bump.
- skip the shifter regardless of brand. Majority of trucks are automatic (or automated) transmissions, so from a reality standpoint, one could argue against a manual trans. I put my shifter with CSIO SKRS knob away.
