Woot! (owned by Amazon) has the lowest price we’ve seen for a Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Pedal Set. Right now you can get it for $179.99, which is a hefty 60% off the normal retail price. Note that you’ll get a new but open box unit that comes with a 90-day Woot warranty. It will be delivered to you in Amazon’s “frustration-free” brown box packaging. The G29 is compatible with PS5, PS4, and PC only. Xbox gamers would have to get the G920 which, unfortunately, isn’t as good of a deal. This deal was available once before, but it sold out quickly.
Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Pedal Set
The G29 was already one of the best racing wheels under $300, and definitely the best under $200. It works with both the PlayStation 5 and PC, which means most people will probably use this for Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 and Forza Horizon 5 for PC. Standout features include a gorgeous hand-stitched leather racing wheel with 900 degrees of rotation, sturdy metal base, durable steel ball bearings in the shaft, gear-driven dual-force motor feedback, stainless shifter and pressure sensitive pedals. The force feedback does an excellent job of simulating providing force and resistance and certain adds to the immersion; if you want something better than this, you’d have to shell out a lot more money for a direct-drive or belt-driven wheel, like Logitech’s own $1,000 G Pro direct-drive racing wheel we reviewed.
The G29 is actually a bit nicer than the Xbox’s G920 variant. The G29 has LED shift lights located on the top of the wheel’s spokes. These LEDs light up progressively as the car’s RPMs rise in-game. The G29 also has a rotary knob on the wheel that can be customized to different functions, like traction control, brake bias, or split differential.
If you’re a big fan of racing games like Gran Turismo or Forza Horizon 5 and you’ve been using your standard PS5 controller this entire time, then this price drop might be the excuse for you to step up your immersion. You’ll never experience the same level of immersion just using your standard DualSense controller.
