Logitech G Announces TRUEFORCE Racing Wheel
Logitech G, a brand of Logitech, and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, today unveiled the Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals, a high performance racing wheel that revolutionizes the sim racing experience. Engineered for maximum realism, G923 features TRUEFORCE a new high-definition force feedback system that dials into a game's physics and audio engine to deliver an ultra-realistic experience.
"A great force-feedback racing wheel can be the difference between crossing the finish line first and spinning off the track and not finishing at all," said McLaren F1 driver Lando Norris. "The new Logitech G923 wheel with TRUEFORCE gives drivers an authentic experience behind the wheel and simulates the details we feel as racing drivers. I can feel if the rear of the car loses grip or if I'm about to spin, which gives me the best chance to quickly correct it, and stay ahead of the competition."TRUEFORCE is a proprietary high definition force feedback technology that revolutionizes what's possible in supported racing games. Using actual game physics and audio in real time, it allows players to feel things like the roar of an engine, tire traction, the terrain of the track, and feedback of the steering wheel more than ever before. TRUEFORCE connects directly to in-game engines, processing at up to 4000 times per second to produce next-gen realism and detail in supported games.
"For the last few years, we've been working with sim drivers, and professional race car drivers to develop a full-featured, realistic driving experience like no other," said Ujesh Desai, general manager at Logitech G. "With TRUEFORCE you really get to feel the road, along with all the subtle features of the race car. It truly elevates the experience, and everyone we've had try it always walks away with a smile!"
Designed for today's sim racers, the G923 wheel and pedals have been modernized with a brushed metal steering wheel, polished pedals and a leather wheel cover for maximum comfort. In addition, the G923 was designed with a number of new features, including:
The Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals will work with PlayStation 4 and PC when it launches in America and Europe in August 2020, for a suggested retail price of $399.99. The G923 will also work with PlayStation 5* when the console launches this holiday season.

If it was AU $399.99 I might consider it, but not at double that once imported and duties, profits etc are added.
How big is the wheel, if it's F1 tiny forget it, for realism it should be around 13"
Edit.
Nope, still gears like older models. Verge has a preview. They pretty much left everything as is, wheel now vibrates constantly when driving and they've added progressive spring to the break pedal.
So much for innovation.
Also - no mention, if there's a load-cell brake pedal, or just "better feel" linear one...
For those talking about load cell pedals, or direct drive ... keep dreaming. You'll never ever get either at this price or one even close to it.
Belt ones i have never had and sounds like a terrible idea just the thought of it.
At this time, for that money I expect a belt driven wheel as a minimum, not this.
Marketing, marketing, marketing :-((
XBOX variant will be the same minus the extra buttons and LED rev warning...going by what they actually did to this one, so much for a difference, my G920 is fine still.
You get a BELT driven wheelbase, pretty basic but upgradable paddels and a decent wheel.
Real intro sim grade stuff. Not toy-like unlike this Logitech gear crap.
