Logitech G PRO Wheel Review: The Best PlayStation Direct Drive Available?

If you're a serious PS5 sim racer and you want the absolute best direct drive experience available right now, the conversation starts and ends with the Logitech G PRO Wheel. With 11Nm of direct drive torque, TRUEFORCE haptic feedback and native PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PC compatibility, it's Logitech's flagship sim racing product — and we've had it running on our Dandenong South showroom rigs. This is our honest take.

Quick Verdict

The Logitech G PRO Wheel is the best PlayStation direct drive wheelbase available in Australia right now. The jump from the RS50 is immediately noticeable — more torque means more detail in the force feedback, and the subtle textures and nuances you feel through the wheel genuinely change how you drive. If you want the pinnacle of PS5 sim racing, this is it. Everyone who tries it in our showroom is surprised by the quality and the strength of the force feedback.

Logitech G PRO Wheel Specs

What’s Included

The Logitech G PRO Wheel ships as a complete wheelbase and rim package. Here’s what you get in the box and what each component delivers.

PRO Wheel Base — 11Nm Direct Drive

The PRO Wheel Base is the core of the system — an 11Nm direct drive motor housed in a solid, premium chassis. It delivers TRUEFORCE force feedback processing physics and audio signals from supported games at up to 4,000Hz. The base features a front-mounted OLED display for adjusting settings on the fly, a built-in USB hub for connecting Logitech accessories, and five onboard profiles for quick switching between different car or game configurations. A rear-mounted metal quick release allows clean, tool-free wheel swaps.

PRO Wheel Rim — 300mm

The PRO Wheel Rim is a 300mm competition-focused steering wheel with hardware built for serious sim racers. Magnetic gear-shift paddles use contactless hall-effect sensors for crisp, consistent actuation without the wear associated with traditional mechanical switches. Dual analogue clutch paddles allow adjustable bite point control for faster race starts and advanced launch setups. An integrated LED RPM display is fully configurable through Logitech’s G HUB software.

In the Box

• PRO Wheel Base (11Nm Direct Drive)
• PRO Wheel Rim (300mm)
• Table clamp
• Power supply
• USB cable
• User documentation

Everything you need to mount, connect and start racing is included. No additional adapters or hardware required for a standard desk or rig setup.

What is the Logitech G PRO Wheel?

The Logitech G PRO Wheel is Logitech's premium flagship direct drive wheelbase — the top of the Logitech Racing Series lineup. Where the RS50 delivers 8Nm of direct drive torque, the G PRO steps up to 11Nm through a larger, more powerful direct drive motor. That extra torque isn't just about strength — it's about the range of detail the motor can communicate. A more powerful motor can express subtle variations in force more accurately, which means you feel more of what's actually happening with the car.

TRUEFORCE — Logitech's proprietary haptic feedback layer — processes both physics and audio signals from compatible games at up to 4,000Hz. In titles like Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa Competizione, this means road texture, engine vibration, tyre scrub and kerb strikes all translate into distinct, readable sensations through the wheel rather than a generic rumble.

Hands-On: What We’ve Seen at Our Showroom

We've had the Logitech G PRO Wheel running in our Dandenong South showroom and the reaction from customers is consistent — they're surprised. Surprised by the quality of the build, surprised by the strength of the force feedback, and surprised by just how much additional information comes through compared to anything they've driven before.

For customers who've already experienced the RS50, the step up to the G PRO is immediately clear. The bigger motor picks up subtler force feedback textures that the RS50 doesn't quite resolve — the fine-grain detail of a tyre losing traction, the precise feel of weight transferring under braking, the character of different road surfaces at different speeds. It's not a dramatic "more powerful" difference — it's a more detailed difference, which is actually more valuable for lap times.

Everyone who tries it loves it. If a customer comes in having already decided between the RS50 and the G PRO, trying both back to back in the showroom almost always ends with them choosing the G PRO.

Logitech G PRO vs RS50: Is the Step Up Worth It?

This is the most common conversation we have around the G PRO. Both are direct drive wheelbases with TRUEFORCE and tri-platform support. Here's how they compare:

The step up is worth it for more power and feedback. The RS50 is excellent and for many sim racers it's the right call. But the G PRO delivers more of what makes direct drive special. If your budget allows, the G PRO is the answer.

The G PRO Pedals: The Natural Pairing

The Logitech G PRO Pedals are sold separately but designed to work together with the G PRO Wheel as a complete system. The G PRO Pedals are a load cell set — the brake uses a pressure sensor rather than a potentiometer, giving you the progressive, consistent braking feel that serious sim racers need to drive at the limit with confidence.

If you're investing in the G PRO Wheel, pairing it with the G PRO Pedals is the obvious choice. The combination gives you a complete top-tier Logitech setup on PS5, Xbox or PC — everything calibrated and designed to work as one.

The easiest way to get both together is the Logitech G PRO Bundle, which packages the wheelbase and pedals together at a better combined price than buying separately.

Who is the Logitech G PRO Wheel For?

The G PRO is for serious PS5 and Xbox sim racers who want the absolute best direct drive experience available on console — and for PC sim racers who want the best from Logitech's lineup.

If you're stepping up from a G29, G923 or any belt or gear-driven wheel, both the RS50 and the G PRO represent a massive jump in force feedback quality. The RS50 is the smart entry point. The G PRO is for those who want the top of the range.

If you've been running the RS50 and want to know what more feels like, come into our Dandenong South showroom and try both back to back. The difference is immediately clear — and most people who do don't leave with the RS50.
