Logitech G Introduces Force Feedback Racing Wheels for Xbox One, PC And PS4
Logitech today announced the Logitech G920 Driving Force and the Logitech G29 Driving Force force feedback racing wheels for Xbox One / PC and the PS4. The Logitech G920 Driving Force features Logitech’s dual-motor force feedback transmission with anti-backlash helical gearing, hand-stitched leather-wrapped rim, and stainless steel throttle, brake, and clutch pedals. The wheel is also compatible with the optional Driving Force Shifter, a six-speed manual gear stick with push-down reverse.
The G920 simulates the feel of weight shift, road conditions, and tire wear. Anti-backlash hardware also keeps the wheel and pedal input tight to maximize control.
It also comes with a separate floor pedal unit that lets you brake, accelerate and change gears, just as you would in an actual car, and also allows you to maintain a more realistic body position for driving. The nonlinear brake pedal mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake system. Additionally, the G920 includes a dedicated clutch.
Available as an optional add-on, the Driving Force Shifter is a six-speed manual gear stick with push-down reverse.
The Logitech G920 Driving Force is expected to be available in the U.S beginning in October 2015, for a suggested retail price of $399.99. Driving Force Shifter, a six-speed manual gear stick with push-down reverse, is also expected to be available as an optional add-on, for a suggested retail price of $59.99.
