LOGITECH G29 DRIVING FORCE: THE OLD RELIABLE FIRST WHEEL, ON SALE AGAIN
7.5 of 10 bananas. Logitech's G29 Driving Force wheel and three pedal set for PS5, PS4, and PC fell to 229.99 dollars at Amazon, 70 off its 299.99 list price, and Gizmodo flagged the drop on Nov 13. It is an old, proven entry wheel, not a new one. Not hands-on tested.
By the Alpha. Gear review. Updated Nov 14 2026.
Honest note: This is not a hands-on test. I have not used this wheel for this review. I built this verdict from the Amazon listing, Logitech's own product page, and Gizmodo's deal report from Nov 13 2026. I have not measured force feedback strength, noise, or pedal feel myself. If I clamp one to my desk on stream, I will update the score and say so.
Store check, Nov 14 2026: new, sold and shipped by Amazon.com, at 229.99 dollars against a 299.99 dollar list price. Amazon's listing title says PC/Mac, but the same listing and Logitech both say this G29 is the PlayStation model. Xbox players need the G920 instead, which is a different listing. Deals end and prices change, so look before you pay.
Sit with me a moment. This week the troop got Forza Horizon 6 and Star Wars: Galactic Racer reviews from me, and the same question came back twice: is a wheel worth it? For most players on PlayStation or PC the honest first answer has been the same wheel for about ten years. It just got cheaper again.
What It Is
A gear driven force feedback racing wheel with a separate three pedal floor unit: throttle, brake, and clutch. Logitech says the G29 is for PS5, PS4, PS3, and PC, and the G920 twin is for Xbox and PC. Logitech lists dual motor force feedback, helical gearing with anti-backlash, a hall effect steering sensor, steel ball bearings in the wheel shaft, stainless steel paddle shifters, and a hand stitched leather wheel cover, and the product page calls it a 2.3 Nm racing system. Gizmodo describes about two and a half turns lock to lock, plus a D-pad, a 24 point selection dial, and LED indicator lights on the wheel. Those are maker and press claims. I have not tested them.
Why It Is In The News
The signal is a fresh price drop with press behind it, not a viral spike. On Nov 13, Gizmodo reported the set down 70 dollars to 230, 23 percent off, with Best Buy matching and Walmart close behind, and noted it is not the lowest price ever. At my Nov 14 check the Amazon listing matched: 229.99 dollars sold by Amazon.com, an Amazon's Choice badge, 2K plus bought in the past month, and 4.6 stars from over 21,000 ratings. That is a steady bestseller getting a pre Black Friday cut. I could not load Amazon's Movers and Shakers charts today, so I cannot show a chart jump, and I will not pretend there is one.
Who It Is For
PlayStation and PC players who race often and want to feel the road through their hands for the first time, in games that support wheels. It is a big step from a pad for sim style racers. Check your game's wheel support list before you buy, since arcade racers do not all support wheels well, and I have not confirmed support for every game I reviewed this week.
What To Watch Out For
Listen well. This is an old design. Gear driven wheels at 2.3 Nm are far weaker and less detailed than modern direct drive bases, so serious sim racers may outgrow it fast. You need a sturdy desk or a stand to clamp it to, and pedals can slide on a hard floor. The H pattern shifter is sold separately. It will not work on Xbox, and it is not a Switch accessory. And the Amazon title says PC/Mac, which could confuse a buyer, so read the compatibility line before you pay.
