Thank you. The deals on the Logitech website are crazy so I may have to bite the bullet and move from my Moza R5. I've got Logitech RS pedals and sequential shifter/handbrake so for the sake of eco system and running out of USB ports on my laptop I think I may do it.
£350 for the RS50 base, Pro GT D rim and the H pattern shifter.
So I have pulled the trigger on going all in on Logitech, I have a strong history of using Logitech products and they've never let me down. Plus, the pricing at the moment is an absolute no brainer, other UK stores like Curry's and Argos are selling the RS50 with the standard
RS wheel for £600, Curry's have the RS50 base, wheel and H shifter for £730(!) and I have just ordered the RS50 base, Pro GT wheel and the H shifter (which is a free gift with the RS50) for £349. Absolutely insane value and really made it hard for me to not do it.
Also, having now added the Logitech Sequential/handbrake and PXN CB1 button box in the past week, I am now exceeding the available USB ports I have, and that includes using a USB hub. So I currently have my speakers plugged directly into the laptop AUX jack which works fine, but I use a Logitech headset which came with its own external USB soundcard which is significantly better as my laptop soundcard dips a lot if there's too many sounds happening at once (like there are in racing games). So the RS50 will allow me to of course plug the pedals and both shifters into the base instead of the laptop, freeing up 2 USB ports from my current situation, allowing me to put the USB soundcard back in play.
Hopefully I will be able to get both shifters mounted together on my Playseat Evolution, it looks like there should be space if I just want to hard mount the H shifter below the sequential. I have the sequential mounted to the official Playseat gearshift holder pro, up on the little metal platform it comes with, so the plate itself has some space available, if I slide the platform to it's lowest, most forward setting, raise the sequential knob to its highest point, I think there should then be enough space to hard mount the H shifter directly to the plate. If not then I will use the clamp the H shifter comes with which allows you to stack the shifters and hope it doesn't interfere with where my button box is positioned.
However I get it set up, I am looking forward to feeling the difference between the 5m Moza R5 and the 8nm RS50, as well as the pro rim, I don't mind the ES rim from Moza but the handles do feel a bit cheap and after longer sessions can leave some residue on my hands.
