Yes they can. There are various options including using them as a handbrake. I believe he settings can be accessed via the wheelbase, so hopefully no PC is required.

You will be able to drive in GT7 using analogue paddles with GT DD Pro + McLaren GT3 V2 at a much lower price.
I don't think the manufacturers of the wheels can do anything about it. Each Sony and Microsoft tells them to put a security chip into the hardware, and I guess they don't allow to have the other chip in there given that this is the case for most if not all accessories (at least that I know of)
I am surprised it doesn't support the older Logitech pedals out of the box. I don't think the Ricmotech adapter would work because the G PRO only supports USB inputs, and the only Ricmotech adapter I'm familiar with converts the Logitech pedal's serial cable to an RJ11 port.
I have used the G29 but never actually owned one, so I'm not sure. What do you mean by "wonky"?
It's not silent, but makes roughly the same sound you'd get from the click of a mouse. It is not as loud as the Fanatec DD Pro's control stick (I just checked).
You definitely can use the paddles for throttle/brake by adjusting the configuration directly in the wheel's menu. It works right now with GT7, out of the box. I didn't mention it in the review, but I tried it myself and it worked well. There was a bit too much going on for me with a manual transmission, but it's manageable with an automatic.
That's a good way to put it. The pedals aren't bad, they just aren't up to the standard set by Fanatec that I was very much used to with the CSLs. Nevertheless, this is the wheel that will be staying on my rig.
While it seems expensive, I think it could be interesting for those of us in South America as @Haverstaken mentioned, since Logitech is the only one that officially sells steering wheels here. Fanatec and Thrustmaster don't, and buying them in the US is prohibitively expensive once you add import taxes, courier shipping, USD exchange rates, etc. I hope Logitech brings this new wheel and pedals to South America.As a G29 owner myself, I can say it usually fails to register any turns on the dial when you are actually turning the steering wheel. And when you have the wheel straight and the dial turn does register, it usually does "two clicks" instead of one. For GT7 for example, D-Pad is a much better option for adjusting fuel map, brake balance, TCS, etc.
There are some serial-to-USB interfaces like this one which work with PC, but since G PRO uses a proprietary protocol, I guess it might not work. I assume Logitech will eventually sell the adapter themselves.
Forgot to answer this earlier. There is a fan, but it's a non-issue. I didn't even realize it had a fan until my ear was next to the wheel base as I was adjusting the rig.
Ah, interesting! I didn't experience any issues while turning, but it seems each turn of a "notch" on the right knob registers as five. I assumed it was a pre-release bug with the game because the knob inputs work as expected elsewhere. That's really weird.
Yes. I used the T300 as my primary wheel for many years (before eventually moving to the T-GT and then the Fanatec GT DD Pro), and I too really liked the T300 before it eventually died (RIP). This is a pretty big step up from that.
Yep, absolutely standard on the G29. One click usually means nothing changes, but sometimes means one up/down and sometimes means two.
