Logitech has announced its new G27 racing wheel peripheral, and it almost looks nicer than what’s probably in your actual car. This serves to replace the G25, and makes some improvements over that predecessor as well. The new wheel face now has six buttons instead of two, and the shifter has a centering spring and better engagement feel, with a new diagonal-cut helical gear system.
The new RPM/shift indicator has a 10-LED display that developers can use to show redline or anything they choose. The pedals have also been upgraded with an option for horizontal adjustment, and taller standoffs to make for smoother downshifting. If you want all the smaller deets on what’s changed since the G25, Logitech has ablog postup that can serve your needs.
The G27 is compatible with both PC and PlayStation 3. No word yet on a release date, but it will retail for $300, and is available now forpre-orderdirect from Logitech. I think I’ll stick with my Dualshock 3. Any serious business racing fans out there looking forward to this?
