Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel

[GlamFM]

Which cockpit are you all using with this wheel. Bought a playseat trophy Logitech edition but it's awful. Tried all combinations and adjustment even a lumbar pillow and my lower back is killing me. Will return but need a replacement. Thanks!

I’m using just that and I think it’s ok?
Zero problems with the seat itself - the entire thing is certainly too weak for the wheel though. I feel like it’s all gonna break at some point

TR8Pro and it's been solid as a rock! Seat is obviously very personal.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here also noticed the following on their wheel + base:

There is a black mark around the metal of both the wheel + the base. I also noticed that after playing, when I disconnect the wheel, the area where they connect to each other smells very mildly of burnt, I don't know how to explain it. I imagine it may be normal because of friction? Everything works fine, but the black mark + smell did make me concerned, so I decided to share and ask about it.

• Anyone else also have these markings on the wheel/base? Is that normal or should I be concerned?
• What about the very very mild smell, is that something your setup also produces after a session?
  
  • To be clear, its not a strong smell and I only smell it when I disconnect the wheel to put it away and I come close

I've been playing with 9NM on GT7 + suggested settings.

PS. The Logitech pro bundle + trophy is really dope, I don't regret the purchase at all.

@LOGI_Rich apologies for the ping, but I imagine you're the most knowledgeable here

Yes, this is fine. It'll clean off no problem with some isopropyl alcohol.

Thank you for the response @LOGI_Rich !

Just curious - do you know what the black smudge is or where it comes from? I was trying to think of it but not sure
And the mild "burnt" smell is also normal / no concerns?

tyvm!

Edit: I tried cleaning with isopropyl alcohol but no luck! :{

The other day I noticed the same marks on mine while changing my rims.
I think they were placed in the same place as yours but I didnt smell nothing wrong.

I gave them no importance seeing how easy I could clean those stains.

Thank you for the info Childe, I will give it another go after work, I tried cleaning it just now but no luck - a little bit came off but that's about it 🤔

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know where the mark is from / what causes it?

I dont know, but I assume it has to be something related with metal friction caused by trueforce.
I use Trueforce at 150 (in game vibration), 11 nm on the base and FFB between 4 and 8 depending on the cars.

Edit: I took them off using a cloth with the screen cleaner I use for my laptop.
