Logitech today announced the much anticipated, and rumored, G27 Racing Wheel. Replacing and improving upon the venerable G25 Racing Wheel, the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel is designed to deliver the definitive sim racing experience for the PC and PLAYSTATION®3 with a diagonal-cut, helical gear system for a smooth and accurate force feedback experience, as well as more programmable buttons on the wheel and two stainless steel shifter paddles that put the functions you need within your reach.
Quick Overview of differences from G25: • Buttons on wheel face: G25 has two, G27 has six • Force feedback transmission: G25 features straight-cut (spur) gears, G27 features diagonal-cut (helical) gears • Pedals: G27 features taller standoffs for clutch and brake pedals, as well as horizontal adjustability, making customizability and heel-toe downshifting easier • Shifter: G27 features stiffer centering spring and more positive gear engagement feel, improving the overall feel of the shifter. • RPM/Shift Indicator LEDs: G27 features 10 LEDs that can be used by game developers to indicate RPM, redline, or to indicate the user should shift gears. The Logitech G27 Racing Wheel is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in September for a suggested retail price of $299.99 (U.S.).
