Logitech’s no stranger to racing peripherals, with their G29 racing wheel being a budget mainstay since the PS4 days – and earlier racing wheels being a popular choice since the turn of the millennium. What is new is a focus on higher-end sim racing gear, which this year includes a direct drive Pro Racing Wheel ($1000/£1000), load cell Pro Racing Pedals ($350/£350) and a branded Logitech G Edition Playseat Trophy racing cockpit ($600/£529). This combination basically ticks all the boxes for an enthusiast-grade setup, and at $1950 all-in it’s definitely priced like one too – though you can certainly spend far more on racing setups if you want.
I’ve been testing Logitech’s pro racing setup for the past few months on both PC and PS5, so it’s time to share some thoughts – with a focus on how Logitech’s offerings compare to other direct drive wheels I’ve tested from Fanatec and Thrustmaster, and how the Trophy compares to other mid-level cockpits like the Playseat Challenge folding seat and NextLevelRacing GTTrack cockpit I reviewed last year.
First, let’s take on the Pro Racing Wheel, as I was curious to see whether this $1000 option measured up to the two other direct drive wheels I’ve tested so far: Fanatec’s $700/€700 GT DD Pro direct drive wheel (and pedals) and Thrustmaster’s $1100/£928 T818 Ferrari SF1000 setup.
