“Our fans have been asking for a PS4 wheel since launch of the
system,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of
the Logitech gaming business. “For the past 18 months we have been
working with Sony to deliver a fully-licensed racing wheel and I am
excited to announce it today.”
Realistic Force Feedback
Engineered with dual-motor force feedback, the Logitech G29
Driving Force realistically simulates the feel of your car with
weight shift, realistic road conditions and tire wear, so you can
sense under- or over-steering, traction loss and more. With helical
gears modeled after the gearing used in car transmissions, you get
exceptionally smooth, quiet and precise steering action.
Anti-backlash hardware also keeps the wheel and pedal input tight,
to maximize control.
Durable Design
Built to last, the Logitech G29 Driving Force features solid
steel ball bearings in the wheel shaft, and stainless steel paddle
shifters and pedals. High-quality, hand-stitched leather gives the
Logitech G29 Driving Force the look and feel of a high-performance
racecar wheel, and ensures a more comfortable and durable user
experience. Additionally, built-in clamps and bolt points allow you
to securely mount the wheel to a table or racing seat to minimize
shifting or wobbling during aggressive maneuvers.
Easy Access to Game Controls
For seamless access to racing controls, the D-Pad, console
buttons and semi-automatic paddle shifters are conveniently located
on the Logitech G29 Driving Force. LED indicator lights tell you
exactly when to shift, so you can maintain maximum acceleration
without taking your eyes off the track. A 24-point selection dial
and plus/minus buttons let you also fine-tune your driving
preferences.
Responsive Pedal Unit
The Logitech G29 Driving Force comes with a separate floor pedal
unit that lets you comfortably brake, accelerate and change gears,
just as you would in an actual car, and also allows you to maintain
a more realistic body position for driving. The nonlinear brake
pedal mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake system
for a responsive, accurate braking feel. Additionally, the G29
includes a dedicated clutch, so gamers who want to test their
abilities can have a truly immersive racing experience.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G29 Driving Force is expected to be available at
global retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg in the
U.S., beginning in July 2015, for a suggested retail price of
$399.99. For more information please visit our website or
