For racing game enthusiasts seeking a serious upgrade from standard controllers, the Logitech G29 and G920 racing wheels represent an incredible entry point into high-quality simulation hardware. These popular wheel and pedal sets, normally retailing for around $330, have recently been available through Amazon Resale for under $120 for “like new” used units. This price point makes them arguably the most compelling budget-friendly racing peripherals on the market.
The “like new” condition typically indicates items that were either never used or returned with minimal handling, often featuring only packaging imperfections. The internal components and the wheel itself remain in flawless, like-new working order. It is important to note that the specific 35% off promotional coupon mentioned has now expired, but similar deals frequently appear.
The G29 model is designed for PlayStation and PC compatibility, while the G920 serves Xbox and PC gamers. Both share a core set of impressive features that deliver a premium feel. You get a hand-stitched leather wheel that rotates a full 900 degrees, mounted on a solid metal base. The force feedback system is gear-driven, providing strong and responsive resistance that effectively translates the feel of the road and car behavior into your hands. The set also includes responsive, pressure-sensitive pedals for precise throttle and brake control.
When you move beyond basic gamepads, the level of immersion these wheels provide is transformative, especially for titles like Gran Turismo and Forza Horizon. To find a noticeable step up in performance, you would need to invest significantly more money in a direct-drive system, which can cost several times more.
A notable difference between the two models favors the G29. It includes a set of LED shift lights on the wheel’s spokes that illuminate as your car’s RPMs increase in the game. Additionally, the G29 features a rotary dial on the wheel face that can be programmed for various in-game functions, such as adjusting traction control or brake bias, offering greater customization. For those with a slightly higher budget, the newer Logitech G923 model is also available, often found for around $155, and builds upon this foundation with enhanced force feedback technology.
