Get in the Driver’s Seat on Your PS5 or Xbox With a Logitech Racing Sim Wheel, Pedals, and Shifter for 22% off
Racing games are the quintessential video game in my opinion. Easy to pick up and play, deep enough to be always getting better. Great to play if you have five minutes or five hours. The only way to make it even better is with the right peripheral. A driving wheel and pedal for sim racing is a complete game changer. And right now, this one from Logitech is available for 22% off and you can get it for as low as $278. Included in this bundle is the tactile racing wheel, the stainless steel pedals, and a driving shifter.
The Driving Force racing wheel provides detailed feedback with resistance so it feels like you’re driving a real car. The helical gearing can deliver smooth, quiet steering and the leather stitching makes the wheel feel a bit more luxurious while being easier to grip. The wheel allows for 900-degree rotation. That means you can turn it around two and a half times and do hand over over wide turns like a F1 cars can do.
The pressure-sensitive nonlinear brake pedals are fully customizable with adjustable pedal faces for finer control. They provide responsive and precise braking against the sturdy base.
The shifter is able to enhance your immersive driving even further along the road. It uses a solid steel gear shift for long-lasting reliability, and like the wheel is also covered in a high-quality, stitched leather. The clamp and bolt points can be sued to securely mount the Driving Force shifter to a table or racing rig so it doesn’t go anywhere when your car on screen does.
What Games Should I Play Once I Get a Racing Sim Wheel?
Unquestionably one of the best racing games our there is Forza Horizon 5. It plays like a traditional open world game but from the seat of a car. The graphics are gorgeous and you can spend endless hours racing on the tracks or out driving across the many different terrains.
That’s an Xbox and PC exclusive though. If you’re looking for something on PlayStation 5, Gran Turismo 7 is likely your best bet.
Luckily, Logitech offers version of the racing sim wheel, pedals, and shifter for both PlayStation or Xbox consoles. Either option is compatible with PC and Mac.
Right now, the PS5, PS4, PC/Mac Logitech G29 Driving Force racing wheel kit is down from it’s full price of $360 to just $278. The Xbox X|S, Xbox One, PC/Mac version of the bundle is down to $280.
