High-End Logitech PlayStation/PC Build

GTPlanet Featured Build

This is the best of Logitech for PlayStation and PC drivers, with every control you could want already bolted on. It starts with the PRO Racing Wheel, an 11 Nm “direct drive” wheel (the wheel is attached straight to the motor, with no gears or belts in between) with TRUEFORCE, which uses a game’s physics and audio to add finer detail like engine RPM and changes in the road surface. Gran Turismo 7 supports it. The PRO Racing Pedals add a clutch and a 100 kg load-cell brake (it responds to how hard you press, not just how far the pedal moves).

Where this build goes further is the extra hardware. The RS H-Shifter is a seven-speed H-pattern shifter with contactless sensors, and with the clutch pedal it lets you drive a manual car the way it was meant to be driven. The RS Shifter & Handbrake can be switched between a sequential shifter and a handbrake, and here it’s set up as the handbrake. If rally or drifting is your thing, this is the rig for it.

It all mounts in the Next Level Racing GTElite, an aluminum profile cockpit with carbon steel plates for the wheel, pedals, and shifter. It’s rated for wheel bases over 16 Nm, so this wheel won’t trouble it. The seat is the ES2 Elite, a fixed bucket seat with a fiberglass shell. It holds you in place far better than a reclining seat, but it doesn’t recline (which is the whole idea), so it’s less forgiving if you share the rig or like to lean back.

The trade-off is power. Logitech tops out at 11 Nm, and our High-End Fanatec PlayStation Rig has 18 Nm. That rig costs more, though, and for most people 11 Nm with a shifter and a handbrake is a lot more fun than 18 Nm without them.
