Which one would you recommend? I already tried out the G25, loved it but that thing breaks too easily (or maybe im just too strong :sly: )
Btw, they all sound like d*ldos
 
I have the G25 and i love it but as you said my shifter has broken as i have no revers gear anymore but other than that isn't good :) never tried any of the other wheels so i couldn't tell you about them
 
Its whatever you have to spend and the features that you need. Not a lot of info is known about the Thrustmaster yet, so wait and see what the final
features and price are. If you cant wait get a G25/G27 depending on which suits your needs vs. price.
 
you can find g27 for good prices, i got this deal where i bought two g27's for $200 bucks each so $400 total on amazon (had to buy 2 for the deal), then i sold the 2nd one for $250 so basically i payed $150 for mine =) and i like it way better than the g25.

i do wanna see how the thrustmaster is, but i dont like that the gated shifter is sold separately =(
 
I'm really thankful that I got through the beginning stages on a G27.
But it did have some problems along the way.
First Wheel lost calibration after 9 months.(2 inches left and loose)
After replacement, the second's center dead zone opened up after 3 months.
I'm not sure what is going on with logitech g27s.
It seems like an awesome wheel, but
It's almost as though they did not anticipate heavy drift driving.
Like many people, I'll drift for hours before I realize time has gone by.
I don't think the unit can take that much abuse seeing as that the wheel will actually get very warm on top.
 
The unit I found that stands up to drifting abuse the best is actually the Driving Force Pro. The brake does not give much feedback so it takes some real practice, but it has survived drifting with GT3, GT4, GT5, MCLA, most of the NFS games, and even Dirt 2 (which is pure hell on a wheel).

Had it for 6 years and it works just as good as the day it came out of the box.
 
heard good things about fanatec


BAHAHAHAHA

I had a Fanatec, and it broke after 3 days of playing iRacing, my G27 has lasted over 2 months of iRacing and still feels brand new.

I recommend the G27, its like the G25 but its less noisy, the Thrustmaster looks promising though.

Lets be honest. your case is rare, if all the wheels were like that surely they wouldn't be selling them.
Plus the G27 is like £100 more than the wheel I'm getting with basically the same features as mine, less in fact. (on the fly rotation change for example)
I have no doubt the G27 is better, but it won't be a mile better I bet.
So lets calm down and think before posting.

Getting Fanatec carrera wheel in couple of weeks, looks good . best bang for buck out there.
On the fly wheel rotation change ftw (set low for drifting ! :D)
