Logitech G923 rattle fix

[hawkeyez]

hi thanks I did notice the bar moved up and down to, it's obviously designed to do that.

Yep.all people have the rattle of plastic on plastic from new to.

You only have to lose traction a little bit when cornering at high speed and that's normally when it starts to rattle like crazy.. my guess is that could be fixed by a software fix.

But I reckon the only thing that would fix it really is a metal cog on to metal cog and not the gold.metal cog onto a plastic one.

People.have tried all sorts even buying a new aluminium housing and it don't work.

Re-greasing doesn't fix this issue.either..

Nothing works to get rid of all the of the annoying rattle you will get from the slightest bit of loss of traction .

But there are other issues you can fix like mine. Mine was just rattling the moment you turned right.

The old G27 I think had straight cut gears, they don’t have axial thrust but they’re louder so you can hear a whirring when it turns or spins. Helical gears by design thrust axially so I think they designed there to be some float. Problem is, their spring contraption isn’t sufficient. The O-Ring behind the helical gears act as rubber bumpers, so it’s a good fix as they’re only bumping into the O-Rings, not continually rubbing on them. Obviously grease them still. You definitely do want to take out too much movement from the shafts as you want them to still move because it’s using helical gears. They should float somewhat. I believe it’s a built in design, if you just lock em down, you might shred up the big plastic gear sooner.

Long story short, either way, the G29/G923 has a design flaw imo. My guess is they did it the way they did it because it’s cheaper and thus equals more profit.

Hi thanks,. I can now confirm that I'm hardly getting any rattles at all since I did what I did.

I did the fix four days ago first two days there was still to many rattles, .my guess is I hadn't pushed the white housing down far enough or one was sitting up.

The play you mentioned in the bar with gold cog is something that would no longer be there when its being pushed by the the spring behind the white circle housing it sits in.

Conclusion is the rattle would happen because the spring is pushing the bar up either not enough or too much from new, and gets worse as the white circular housing wares.

So when you take those gears out to put an oh ring on to cushion the play, that's what the white little circular housing should be doing, as it should be pushing it up to stop the play.

Trouble is it pushes it up to far, and probably not just causing the metal tap but also the biggest plastic cog to hit the white circular housing .

Probably the issue from new to some may have not enough tension from new

I've removed the springs behind the white little housings, no plastic tapping and no more metal tapping. Metal tapping has probably gone.dew.to the fact the gold cog is floating but floating more away from the metal.

I've played for two days and now only get a rattle when I really start to lose traction which is a good thing, but that's more like because I'm not turning in or out with the wheels as good, 😊
