So, I was wondering what this rig would go for? And how much if I threw in the monitor—it's a 22" Philips full HD
The whole thing is about 3 years old, give or take
Thanks a ton for any help

Something isn't clicking for me here—is it actually possible that this steering wheel is still $833?? I stumbled across a listing for a new one earlier today and it was sitting at $1,300... but now, everywhere I look, the price tag is hovering around $2,500?? Like, seriously, what does that even make the G27?

Like, I'm rocking the Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel for $100... once, the steering just gave up on me after ten months (well within the one-year warranty 😁), and this current one's been holding up for exactly a year now. There's a massive difference when you're looking at wheels in such different price brackets—especially when it comes to how the driving actually feels 😉

Anyway, thanks a ton... found it on eBay for $167... we'll see how it goes. All I really care about is having an H-pattern shifter with a clutch... that's pretty much it. It's not even that deep, I just want it

So, it says right here that it's sequential rather than an actual "H-pattern shifter"—meaning just up and down shifts...

Yeah, I actually checked it out on YouTube... what a bummer. Guess I'll have to let go of my old G25 then. I wonder if this thing is even built well enough to last? You know, long-term? I saw the price tag was $433... might just have to hunt for a used one...

darkowl72 said:Look, I can't speak to the shifter specifically, but if you just do a bit of digging online for a solid review, you'll find that info in no time. Honestly? Just make sure you really scour the web for a real test drive report so you don't end up disappointed later... It’s no secret that companies slap a price tag on gear that's basically useless—you know, those "wannabe" wheels, joysticks, or tablets that look cool but perform like junk... If you want brands you can actually trust blindly when it comes to stuff actually working, stick to Logitech or Genius... beyond that, I wouldn't touch anything without being 100% sure it does what I need it to do... $267that's a big deal...

just type the model name into Google along with "review" or "test"...

I'm honestly torn between this one and the Logitech G25... but man, that thing is pricey... like, $1,300 territory... meanwhile everyone seems to be raving about this wheel. I guess I'm just wondering about the type of shifter it uses... how would a review even describe that part?

So, I’m thinking about picking up a wheel for my PC setup—got my eye on that Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel... saw it sitting around $267... so now I'm wondering, is it actually any good or just hype? Is it worth the cash? Also, what's the deal with the shifter—is it a standard H-pattern thing or what? If anyone's got a better suggestion in that same ballpark, let me know... I really need an H-pattern shifter for my setup.
