Released over two years ago and recently sent to me by Logitech, the G Pro wheelbase is the company’s flagship direct drive system designed to push Logitech into the high end sim racing market. On paper it has the power, features, and polish to compete with strong options from Moza, Simagic, and Fanatec. In practice, however, the experience is a mix of impressive performance and frustrating ecosystem limitations. Here is my full written review.
Verified purchase options at lowest current prices:
The Logitech G Pro wheelbase looks unlike anything else in sim racing. The front mesh panel, the sharp edges, the glossy and matte plastics, and the built in RGB telemetry strip all give it a very modern appearance. Logitech also integrated a front power button and a small display which shows basic telemetry or tuning information.
Despite the plastic-heavy shell, the unit feels well made, and the table clamp included with the base mounts securely in seconds. The only real downside is the size. This is one of the biggest wheelbases I have ever reviewed. I had to push my monitors back, lower my wheel deck, and tilt the entire platform just to make everything fit comfortably. Outside of the massive Turtle Beach base, nothing else has required this much repositioning.
Logitech designed its own quick release for this system, and functionally it works very well. There is no flex even at maximum torque, and swapping wheels takes only a few seconds.
However, the quick release introduces the first major ecosystem problem. Every wheel you want to use on this base requires Logitech’s RS Hub. If you want to take advantage of the quick release the way it is intended, each additional wheel requires another hub. At 130 dollars each, the cost adds up very quickly.
This would be fine if the ecosystem were large and diverse, but that is where the bigger issues start to appear.
This is the part that most people overlook when considering the Logitech G Pro. The wheel ecosystem is still extremely limited compared to Moza, Fanatec, or Simagic.
Here is what Logitech offers:
And that is it. There is no dedicated GT3 wheel, no formula wheel beyond the basic one, no rally style options, no high end magnetic paddles, and very few ways to expand functionality.
If you want multiple rims, you either buy multiple RS Hubs or you manually swap the hub between rims every time, which defeats the point of having a quick release in the first place.
This is where competitors gain a massive advantage. All the brands i mentioned offer large ecosystems that include thumb encoders, clutch paddles, multi-function wheels, advanced dashboards, and more affordable upgrade paths. Logitech has the opposite situation. You are paying more for fewer options, and this lack of versatility undermines the purpose of a premium direct drive base.
Unfortunately, the included wheel rims do not help the situation. The Pro Round Rim feels too small for a base of this level. At only 11.5 inches or 29,2 cm, it is barely bigger than the G29. For a high end wheelbase, this simply does not feel right.
The buttons feel like something you would find on a gamepad rather than a premium sim racing wheel. The paddle shifters are loud and lack refinement, and the RS Hub itself is made entirely of plastic. None of this feels high end or even mid range considering what the competition offers at similar prices.
Functionally, the rim does the job, but it will not impress anyone who has used wheels from competitors.
Compatibility is one of Logitech’s strongest selling points. The PC only G Pro base costs 600 dollars, while the PlayStation compatible version is 700 dollars. Xbox support requires the RS Hub, which costs another 150 dollars.
Once everything is added together, the total cost becomes comparable to the Moza R12, Simagic Evo Sport, and Fanatec ClubSport DD. Those systems however offer better ecosystems, more rim options, upgrade paths, and often better value.
Driving with the Logitech G Pro base makes it clear that this wheelbase was built to compete at the top of the mid to high-end market. At 11 Nm, it has more than enough power for most racers, and in my case I even found myself turning it down because the default strength was simply too high for long stints. The important part though is that the force feedback feels clean, fast, and very responsive. All the usual cues are here, from subtle micro-details to strong cornering weight, and the G Pro consistently delivered the type of feedback I would expect from a premium direct drive unit.
Another standout trait is just how smooth this motor is. Despite being mechanically limited to 1080 degrees of rotation, its movement feels fluid with no grinding or gear sensation anywhere in the range. Combined with its completely silent operation, the G Pro delivers a driving feel that is both engaging and refined. Road textures, curbs, bumps, and surface imperfections all come through clearly in titles like iRacing and Assetto Corsa Competizione, and the default tuning required very little adjustment on my part.
TrueForce adds another layer to the experience. For compatible games, it essentially acts like a dedicated vibration system that uses game audio to generate additional tactile effects. It is not a replacement for traditional force feedback and it will not give you a competitive advantage, but it does help immersion by adding small vibrations that mimic road noise or engine rumble. In iRacing especially, it surprised me with how much extra detail it added, even if the impact was not game changing. It is one of those features that does not transform the wheelbase but still enhances the overall experience in a subtle, enjoyable way.
Overall, in terms of pure driving feel, the G Pro holds its own. The performance is strong, smooth, and consistent, and TrueForce gives it a slight edge in immersion when supported.
From a performance standpoint, the Logitech G Pro wheelbase is excellent. It delivers strong, smooth, accurate force feedback with zero noise and all the immersion you would expect from an 11 Nm direct drive unit. The added TrueForce effects give it a slight edge in feel over some competitors.
However, once you evaluate the entire package, the weaknesses become harder to ignore. The ecosystem is limited and expensive to expand, the wheel rims feel entry level rather than premium, the RS Hub adds unnecessary cost, and the physical size of the base makes it difficult to fit into many setups.
Ultimately, the Logitech G Pro wheelbase is mechanically fantastic but held back by its ecosystem, price structure, and lack of premium rim options. If you want a simple, plug and play, console compatible wheelbase with strong performance, it is still worth considering. But if you want the best value or the most complete ecosystem, alternatives from brands like Moza, Fanatec, and Simagic simply offer more for your money.
