Owners of the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel rejoice! We can finally upgrade our sim racing setup as we always had hoped. With new shifters, handbrakes, and, as I'll cover here today, new wheels and wheel hubs. Logitech has two new racing wheels on offer, one designed for the track and another largely aimed at the rally or even classic car crowd.
There are two parts to this latest release: the RS Wheel Hub ($130), containing the interface, paddles, and electronics to attach the wheel to the Pro Racing Base; and either the RS Track Wheel ($70) or RS Round Wheel ($70), which are simply metal and a rubber-like plastic.
For a complete set-up, you'll also need a Pro Racing Base ($600) and Pro Racing Pedals ($350). And there's also the optional RS Shifter and Handbrake ($150).
That all adds up to a grand total of $1,300.
Buttons: 15
Connectivity: Quick release attachment
Features: 2x paddle shifters, RGB rev lights, 2x dials, 1x directional stick
Price: $130 / £120 / $300 AUD
The alternative option for newcomers is purchasing the Pro Racing Wheel ($800), which contains a Pro Racing Base and a hub and wheel combo. However, I made the mistake of assuming that the hub used on the Pro Racing Wheel was the same, or at least compatible, with the RS Wheel Hub.
It's not—the layout is different—you would need to purchase an RS Wheel Hub and RS Track/Round Wheel separately with this unit to swap out to a different wheel design. Altogether, you're looking at a total of $1,500 ($1,350 without the shifter).
Still with me? You don't necessarily save anything by going for the Pro Racing Wheel versus the Pro Racing Base with RS Wheel Hub and RS Track/Round Wheel. If you decide down the line to buy a round wheel to go with your track wheel, or vice versa, you can buy another RS Wheel Hub and the corresponding wheel for $200. You could swap your wheels between one hub, however, it just might be a bit of a pain to undo the six bolts and three screws every time.
But wait, there's more. PC
