“Logitech’s PRO Racing Wheel makes the sim racing experience incredibly realistic. I'm able to feel the conditions of the track and how the car changes during the race, which is game-changing. When using this wheel at home, I feel like I'm right there on track,” said Lando Norris, F1 Racer for McLaren.
The PRO Racing Wheel’s all-new Direct Drive motor is capable of an impressive 11 newton meters of force with an incredibly low-latency response. When paired with TRUEFORCE—a Logitech G exclusive, proprietary high-definition force feedback technology—the Direct Drive motor delivers unrivaled racing realism with higher frequencies of response than ever. As a result, sim racers can now experience in-game physics and audio with much higher levels of precision and near instantaneous feedback, with everything from road conditions to motor vibrations.
“Fans of our racing wheels and pedals can expect a serious upgrade in realism, performance and control, as well as design and durability,” said Richard Neville, head of simulation and controllers for Logitech Gaming. “We analyzed everything—from how many gear shifts, turns and impacts an 11 newton meter wheel takes, to which materials and components will last through even the most grueling racing conditions.”
The result is a PRO Racing Wheel system that delivers unmatched realism, driver information and connection to the car without any delay or abstraction that professional sim racers demand.
Designed for pro racers, the PRO Racing Wheel features:
The PRO Racing Pedals have a realistic load cell brake and can be completely customized to fit the racing setups and styles. Key features include:
The Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel is available in two versions, one that is compatible with PC, PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4 consoles, and one that is compatible with PC, Xbox Series X|S® and Xbox One®.
The Logitech G PRO Racing Pedals are compatible with PCs with Windows® 10/11 through a USB port, and if connected to PRO Racing Wheel: Xbox Series X|S®, Xbox One®, PlayStation®5 or PlayStation®4 consoles.
