Logitech G923 or Thrustmaster TX Racing Leather Edition

[ReaQus]

Hi everyone. I am new at the sim racing and i want to buy a wheel. I'm stuck between two options: Logitech G923 and Thrustmaster TX Racing Leather Edition. I also want to play simulation racing games like iRacing and Acetto Corsa. Not a arcade racing games like Need for Speed or Forza Horizon. As a result, which one be better for me? I would appreciate it if you guys help me with the pros and cons about both wheel.

def the thrustmaster but really if your paying over 350(and this still seems like to much) for either you should consider saving some more and geting the csl DD and a rim is 550 i think the new pedals are around 100$ this does not include the boost kit--

-another really cheap option is the thrustmaster tmx or t-150 these have been on sale as low as 140$ recently and is a really good entry point i use a tmx my self and have 1000 hours or so on i would say its probably very close to the g923 but smoother because its belt/gear not just gear drive anyways the g923 is not worth double at all

you can be pretty fast on anything to be honest but really the thrustmaster tx and t300 are in a different class than the g923 witch is much closer to the tmx i think the tmx still puts out slightly more nm of tourqe i think the g923 has 2.1 nm and tmx has 2.5 and tx/t-300 have 3.9 so its a pretty big difference

if you can afford to spend 600-700 you can get the whole fanatec csl dd a wheel and pedals and that would be a really good value for what your getting -this would be the stock 5 nm with no boostkit(180$ more but gives you 8 nm this could always be added in the future) and i imagine after awhile you might want a higher end pedal set you can only pre order these right now but i think will be available on nov 21st at least for me or around than

if your looking at the g923 i would consider just getting a g920 or g29 basically the same wheel without the vibrator thing and usually much cheaper (really not sure what the g923 is going for now but used to be 399) g29/g920 are around 200$ new these days and less used

still the thrustmaster tx is alot better smoother more detail more power gives you more range to dial in details

also the thrustmaster tx/t-300 gives you the ability to change wheels if you wanted a different wheel the logitech and tmx wheels dont come off unless you mod them yourself

There are a lot of taxes for electronic products in my country (Turkey). And it's interesting but T300 is 2 times more expensive than G923. Thrustmaster sells through its own website, if I can get it from there, it comes at a much more affordable price, but Thrustmaster doesn't send it to Turkey, even if they sends it customs duty is too much. But when i was looking at the Amazon i saw Thrustmaster TX Racing Leather Edition without taxes. Because seller is Amazon Germany and because of that i don't need to pay extra taxes. Now G923, Thrustmaster TX and T-150 have a same price for me. Fanatec is too expensive and we don't have a Fanatec supplier in Turkey. As a result, i think Thrustmaster TX which makes the most sense. But about that in Amazon Germany, TX have a colorful buttons. (Like a Xbox Yellow, Red...) But in the videos I've watched buttons are not colorful but middle of the buttons have a Y, X, B, A and the rest is black. Is would be a problem?

FWIW, just search this forum for "logitech problem" or "logitech broken". Anything above the T150 is going to be a good wheel. Pedals are subjective but that is something you could upgrade later.

idk personally the t-150 is still a good wheel if there all the same price the thrustmaster TX is the way to go for sure im not sure about the buttons i think on the leather edition they are black with colored letters in the middle

i think maybe they are calling it tx but mean TMX possibly? these are 2 different wheels the tmx has 4 colored buttons on the top and 4 black buttons on the bottom and is the xbox version of the t-150---the TX is the xbox version of the t-300 and has a removable wheel that you can change out.

only the TX comes in the leather edition i think and is a very nice wheel

I own a T-150, as I don't have too much money and tine to put in sim racing unfortunately, and I've gotta say that it is already a great feeling.

May be the way to go if you're just starting just like i am

TX/T150 better ffb, but the quality and pedal to bad
G923(have Buttkicker)/G29/G920 has better materials and feels much nicer, pedal too better but forcefeedback is worse.
My Choise is G923 due to the low price in my country(240$).

When I first looked at wheels i liked the G923, but as I watched the videos, it started to look like toy to me. But in general, everyone says that Thrustmaster is better. The T-150 and TX are not the products that are my goal anymore. I'll leave the Amazon link below to you guys compare it to the G923.

that looks like the one to get although i hope its not too expensive it def is much better than the g923 and the tx/t-150 --- and really you probably would have no need to upgrade in the future other than maybe the pedals or getting a load cell mod for them could be possible too this would only been something you may want to do if you get really into sim racing the some of the fastest people on youtube use the same wheel base and pedals

[ReaQus]

I decided on this steering wheel then. I'm thinking of getting it in a week. Thank you everyone for comments I hope I can get it before the stocks run out in a week :)

[goblueteam]

awesome that is also the wheel im considering if i can not afford the fanatec csl DD im sure it will feel great and it is one of the best values out there still.

I know what you mean. the wheel feel nice and I not had it break on me (knock on wood) but the pedals with the standard set are cheap. I got the t3pa which made a better improvement. I still yet to think about the clm or the t3pm as my next pedal next.
