In the age of wireless connectivity, this cumbersome trail of cables is hard to forgive or overlook, especially at this exorbitant price.

There are three cables that lead to the wheel unit – one each from the power socket, pedal base, and gear shifter, plus a USB cable leading from the wheel to your PC, PS2 or PS3. The biggest potential deal breaker with the G27 is the mess of cables it creates. I personally don’t mind this change, because anyone who likes sequential shifting can use the shifter paddles that are located at the back of the wheel. In doing so however, they’ve improved the shifter tremendously, and gear shifts are a lot more natural and reassuring in the G27. The G27 ditches the sequential shifter entirely, so the H shifter is all you get. The G25 gave you the option to choose between sequential shifting and the H shifter (which you commonly find in road cars), with a knob that let you switch between the two. While more is definitely better, the buttons seem a little too close together, and in the thick of the action, the chances of pressing the wrong one are quite high.Īnother major change, and one that might irk many purists, is in the gear shifter. Secondly, there are now six customizable buttons on the wheel, as opposed to two on the G25. The top of the central portion of the wheel features a sequence of LED lights which act as an RPM meter to aid in shifting gears. But look closer and two differences jump out at you. They look almost identical, and considering that the G25 wasn’t the best looking wheel around, it’s disappointing that Logitech didn’t put enough time and effort (if any) into a newer design. But is it enough of an improvement over the G25?_STARTQUOTE_At Rs 25,000, the G27 is only for the most hardcore sim racers._ENDQUOTE_ If you keep the G25 and G27 side-by-side on a table, it might take you a while to tell the two apart. As expected, this wheel doesn’t come cheap, and at Rs 25,000, this one is only for the most hardcore sim racers. That has now finally happened, and after waiting a long time, I finally got my hands on the Logitech G27.
But each time, I managed to resist in the hopes that Logitech would finally release its long awaited successor. On many occasions over the last couple of years, I’ve come extremely close to yielding to temptation and buying the Logitech G25, which was widely considered to be the best consumer-level simulation racing wheel on the market.
