Logitech G29 vs Thrustmaster T300RS
MW Technology compared the new Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel to the Thrustmaster T300RS Force Feedback wheel.
Both wheels come at the exact same pricepoint and are compatible with the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. Both wheels are optimized towards the PlayStation consoles featuring the same amount of buttons you would find on a PlayStation game controller. The fact that the wheels are PC compatible turn both products into a very convenient controller for the all round gamer.
The Logitech G29 is slightly smaller with a 27cm diameter while the T300RS is measuring 28cm in diameter. The Stock Thrustmaster T300RS wheel rim has a beneficial feature. The rim is detachable and can be exchanged with one of the optional Thrustmaster ECO system wheel rims such as the Ferrari F1 wheel, TM Leather 28 GT Wheel Add-On or the new 599XX EVO 30 Wheel Add-On Alcantara Edition.
Both the G29 and T300RS come with stock paddle shifters and can be fitted with an optional “H”-pattern unit such as the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter or the Logitech Driving Force Shifter.
The G29 has a 900 degrees rotation wheel range while the T300RS can turn 1080 degrees. Both wheels keep the noise down to acceptable levels, but the Thrustmaster seems to be slightly louder than the Logitech.
While both wheels are pretty much on par when it comes to their build quality and force feedback response, the included pedal sets are rather different. The Logitech G29 comes with a stock pedal unit featuring a Throttle, Brake, and Clutch pedal while the Thrustmaster T300RS only comes with a Throttle, Brake unit. If you want a 3 pedal setup for the T300RS you will have to purchase the optional T3PA or T3PA-PRO add-on pedal set.
All in all both wheels represent the same value for money, and the best choice will heavily depend on the users personal preference.
