Logitech Promo Code “GTPLANET” Saves 10% on RS50, TRUEFORCE Wheels

GTPlanet readers can now save 10% at the official Logitech G store with Logitech promo code GTPLANET.

The code stacks on sale prices, so if a wheel is already marked down, the 10% comes off the reduced price. As an affiliate partner, GTPlanet may earn a commission on purchases made through our links or with the code at no extra cost to you.

Logitech’s holiday pricing is now live across most of its catalog, so now is the chance to score the biggest savings on the company’s most advanced TRUEFORCE wheels.

What Is TRUEFORCE?

If you play Gran Turismo 7, one of the main reasons to look at a Logitech wheel is a technology the company calls “TRUEFORCE”.

TRUEFORCE combines the larger steering forces Logitech calls “kinesthetic” feedback with finer, high-frequency “vibrotactile” effects. Those extra sensations can convey engine vibration, road texture, and changes in tire grip, depending on how the game implements the technology.

The effects come through the wheel’s force-feedback motors, with no separate vibration transducer. Logitech says compatible wheels process TRUEFORCE data internally 4,000 times per second.

That additional detail can make changes in the car’s behavior easier to feel, giving you more information alongside the usual steering weight.

It is widely supported by most major racing games, including Gran Turismo 7, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Forza Motorsport, iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate, BeamNG.drive, and more. Check Logitech’s supported games table for the complete list and compatibility specifics.

When I reviewed Logitech’s PRO wheel in 2022, I wrote that TRUEFORCE made Gran Turismo 7 feel like an entirely different game.

Rumble strips buzz, the engine vibrates more as the revs climbed, and gear shifts land with a clunk. It’s all very impressive, and makes any other hardware without those higher frequencies feel a bit dull. The strength of the effect is adjustable on the wheel, too, so you can customize it however you like.

The Logitech RS50

TRUEFORCE made its debut on the G923 in 2020, but pairing it with direct drive is where it comes into its own.

With the rim connected straight to the motor, the wheel can reproduce far more of the detail the game is sending, from the faintest hum to the sharp edges on a road surface. If you’ve tried TRUEFORCE on a G923 before and liked it, you’ll love it on a direct drive base.

According to Logitech, all of its TRUEFORCE wheels receive the same data from the game. What changes as you move up the range is how much motor there is to play it back, and the RS50 is where that starts to matter.

It’s an 8 Nm direct drive wheel, which means the rim is attached straight to the motor shaft with no gears or belts in between. Direct drive is the biggest single upgrade in sim racing hardware, and it suits TRUEFORCE especially well, because there’s nothing between the motor and your hands to smooth away the fine detail.

The RS50 System is the version to get if you’re starting fresh. It includes the base, a round wheel, a wheel hub, and a table clamp, so all you need to add is pedals. The rim comes off on a quick release, so you can upgrade it later if you want, too.

The natural partner is the RS Pedals, a two-pedal set with a 75 kg load cell brake. A load cell measures how hard you press rather than how far the pedal travels, which is much closer to how a real brake pedal works and much easier to be consistent with.

The G923 and PRO Racing Wheel

On either side of the RS50 sit two wheels we’ve reviewed in full.

The G923 is the simplest way to start, with a gear-driven wheel, three pedals, and desk clamps in one box.

At 2.3 Nm it’s the weakest motor here, but it was the wheel that introduced TRUEFORCE when we reviewed it in 2020, and it’s still the cheapest way to try it. Its pedals can also move with you to an RS50 later through Logitech’s Racing Adapter, so it isn’t money thrown away if you decide to go deeper into the hobby.

At the other end is the PRO Racing Wheel, Logitech’s 11 Nm flagship.

I called it the best wheel I’d ever used in our 2022 review, and the extra torque gives TRUEFORCE more headroom to work with in heavy corners and big impacts.

Complete Logitech Builds

A wheel is only part of a setup, so we’ve added Logitech hardware to the Featured Builds in the GTPlanet Rig Builder.

Each build shows a live total with the GTPLANET code already applied, and you can copy any of them and swap parts to suit your space and budget.

The Logitech G TRUEFORCE PlayStation Build takes the RS50 System and RS Pedals from above and bolts them into a Next Level Racing GTRacer 2.0 cockpit. It’s the build I’d hand to a GT7 player who wants a complete direct drive rig without overthinking it.

If you want everything, this High-End Logitech PlayStation/PC Build has it.

The PRO Racing Wheel and PRO Racing Pedals are joined by an H-pattern shifter and a handbrake, all mounted in a GTElite cockpit with a bucket seat. That makes it a good fit for rally and drifting as well as circuit racing.

How to Use the Code

Add what you want to your cart at LogitechG.com, then enter GTPLANET in the promo code box at checkout.

The 10% comes off each region’s local price, and it stacks with any sale price the store is showing at the time. Stock varies from store to store, and the Rig Builder’s Price Tracker logs every price and availability change if you’d like to see where things stand before you order.
