Logitech G25

It going to be around the £200 mark. Not 100% of release date.

900 degree turning circle
Clutch pedal
6 speed forward gearbox and a reverse
Flappy paddle gearbox on wheel

The more i look at it the more im drooling.

Wow, even the non-racers thinks that looks awesome

Turbanation · 31 May 2006 at 13:50

lol at the gear box

Dougsnake · 31 May 2006 at 14:01

I have to say that looks abit good. Shame i dont race.

Frost · 31 May 2006 at 14:20

yes, indeed it does look like a rather lush wheel

the reason it is gonna be expensive is its supposidly going to have a good build quality to it, aswell as the fact it comes with a clutch pedal which is rare thing with wheel sets unless your spending large ammounts of cash, and the rather lovely looking manual gear box which can also be used as a sequential shifter i believe

mmmmm that looks nice.
I think that could tempt me away from playing GTL with an Xbox360 controller.

Lets just hope the price drops

Noni · 31 May 2006 at 14:45

Meh, my MX518 laughs at it.

uk_viper · 31 May 2006 at 14:48

finaly a proper gear stick, hopefully can go on the right side, and clutch

, about time though, all you need is a game to use it all

Loads of decent racing games allow you to specify a clutch control, Live for Speed definately does and I'm sure Rfactor and GT Legends/GTR does too

PinkFloyd · 31 May 2006 at 15:02

GTL supports it all.
I use all of it on my Xbox360 controller excet for the direct shifting

Clutch control is good using the rear trigger buttons

geeza · 31 May 2006 at 15:11

like the idea of the clutch pedal. though the clutch wont properly work in any game anyway will it (how it does in a real car) -stall, kangaroo etc

the gear stick looks cak

id maybe pay £60 or £70 for it but no way £200

uk_viper · 31 May 2006 at 16:04

probabl;y would actually work on GTR forgot about that, would be good if they made it 360 copatiable, then a patch for PGR3, that would be good

KnightStalker · 31 May 2006 at 18:16

well im already waiting for the release, im a sucker for PC wheels, i have got sitting in the loft all MS wheels, most of Logitechs (some of them no longer work

), including a Red Momo which i use day to day racing/playing, this new wheel is 100% on my list of wheels to get

RaMDOM · 31 May 2006 at 18:22

Now I have got my NEC Multisync 20WGX 20" widescreen, coupled with that I may be tempted to getting into racers.

Never been my genre of choice due to control methods, but that looks like it will more than make up for it.

Sign me up for the drooling.

You'll certainly stall if you have clutch enabled on games like GTR and GTL, not sure on LFS, but it is a useful pedal to have, and gets you using the right pedals too I guess, as I don't like left foot braking that much.

It is a very nice looking wheel, probably a reasonable alternative to those wheels that are £800+ (Cue Flibster)... I'd actually be tempted if it was any good as I should be earning by then, hopefully anyway.

Behemoth · 31 May 2006 at 21:00

That looks brilliant, I want one of those, shame that it's £200 though

You called?

I'll probably buy one of these just for the gearstick...unless someone else produces the gearstick on it's own.

Will go nicely with the Speed7 set.
