Since you have one, I have a question to ask. :D I read somewhere that you can set the wheel to 270 (the web site site said 200 degrees, but I think that could be wrong) degrees lock to lock and 900 degrees. Is that true?

I also read that the shifter has an annoying click. I saw a video on Youtube with someone who removed the sound by sticking foam between something inside the H shifter.

Is it true that you can shift in REAL H-pattern? If so, I am probably going to buy it.

I have a Logitech MOMO Racing wheel with the Act Lab Pedals and H-Shifter with seven gears. Until I have the extra money, the G25 is out of my reach for now. I do not like the lack of on-the-steering-wheel buttons. It looks like the G25 has only 2 and the rest is on the shifter. The MOMO Racing has 6 buttons, plus the 2 paddle shifter. I like the double force feedback that it has.

I have the Logitech MOMO Racing wheel too.
Did you get your H shifter in separate?

Yeah, the Act Lab H-Shifter (7 gears) as stated earlier.

I got it before Act Labs went into a downfall and seemed like they were going out of business. They sold the last stock and I bought the last production that were made. They made a comeback and made new versions of the shifters and pedals.

Go to:

I trust the reliability and accuracy of Logitech's products. The wheel I have is always accurate, but the pedals have issues that I have to work around. If I had the dough, I would have a G25.

Wow, I have a problem with the pedals too, they're WAY to sensitive (sometime's I'm not even pushing it, and it accelerates)

I forgot to be specific about the pedals I was talking about. The comment was for the Act Labs pedals and not the Logitech pedals. The Act Labs pedals need constant tweaking and re-calibrating to get right. If the game does not have advanced settings, then I have to deal with the issues of a jumpy dead zone or the fact that the brake requires too much strength to reach the limit.

The Logitech pedals are also wearing out though. I was having issues when I had to recently use then for a game that does not recognize two game controllers at the same time. A quick calibration fixed them though.

For anyone thinking of buying the logitech G25 i suggest you do, it is the best quality product ive bort for the PC ever! except my 8800GTX... but this steering wheel is the dogs balls, it will own any other racing wheels by the fact the built quality, design and overall performance is better than anything ive seen for a long time.
