Logitech G27
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- G27 was a great entry for me back then and lasted for years before I could/wanted to spend more for an upgrade.
- As someone who is still using an ancient G27 I can confirm that If you're waiting for it to die before doing an upgrade your going to be waiting a long time.
- I got a used G27 for $55 USD, a free Ikea desk mounting-taped to the floor to keep it stable, and a $22 USD “cinema chair”, and now I have a functional sim racing setup for cheap to play AMS 2, AC, and ACC!
- I'll be honest, I don't think I'll be buying a higher torque DD base any time soon. The G27 lasyed me 10 years.
- My g27 lasted 12 years and only reason I upgraded was for direct drive. I still use g27 shifter.
Cons
- Perhaps i’ll dust off the g27 soon.
- The 5Nm is more than enough and a MASSIVE jump from the G27 I had before.
- The guy dominating SF23 pubs atm is a teenager on a G27 and LC brake with a library chair Great kid but man it hurts to get smoked that bad by someone knowing they are on such a jank setup
- I should get one of these to run with my G27.

I mean if you want to experience literally the very first force feedback wheel then yeah $40 is probably worth it just for the historical aspect but for just a little more you could probably get A used g27
