Hey guys, I’ve got the chance to pick up the Logitech G920 for over a third off, £300 down to £180, which is a nice bargain. However I want to get some feedback from people who’ve been running one for some time. Just for info on durability, is it still solid, does it grind or feel loose. Those kind of things. If it’s good on the endurance side, i’ll pick one up. lol
I am on my second G920 wheel, as the right paddle shifter malfunctioned. It would register a button press upon release of the paddle, so I would end up shifting 2 gears instead of just 1. Logitech where fairly helpful, and mostly quick to respond; but they stated they do not have a UK service center if the wheel malfunction. Regardless, in the UK we do have a 2 year manufacturer warranty, and they will follow up issues after the retailer warranty has run out (1 year in most places, including PCworld/Currys).
Besides that, I have nt had any other issues. The wheel works well with Forza, but the FFB in game isnt the best. That aspect is the game however, not the wheel. I have also used the G920 with Pcars on the PC, as well as Dirt rally (and other codemasters games), WRC4, iRacing, Raceroom Racing experiance, and even the new need for speed game on PC (quite surprised by the PC release of the new NFS game, as the wheel works flawlessly at 900°).
The only game I have had an issue with, is Assetto Corsa. The game and the driver software for the G920 do not seem to mix very well, but it is believed to be at fault with Logitech. This is because the previous wheels they offer, such as the G27 (which I also own), has much better driver support on PC. The driver for the G27 gives you the ability to adjust things such as the damper and springs, and to even change the level of overall feedback. The G920 on PC does not have that options, rather it is all controlled in game.
With my G27, setup in Assetto Corsa is easy. With the G920, I have to change a value in one of Assetto’s config files, as well as a couple of other work around’s.
Regardless of that however, the G920 does work perfectly in the other games I have listed.
Personally I would say it is still worth a purchase, especially with Assetto Corsa releasing on the Xbox soon, and also because of Dirt rally coming to the consoles as well. Both those games you will find vastly more enjoyable with a wheel, but both still feel really good on a game pad though.
I can highly suggest buying the driving force shifter also, unless you have a G27 laying around. The G27 shifters works with the G920 on both the xbox one and the PC, but the G27 will not show up in the Logitech gaming software; though it is still usable in games without any issue.
I picked up the driving force shifter, as PCworld had it on sale at £25 at the time, and I did not want to over use my G27 shifter; as new replacements for that one are no longer available from Logitech.
Thankyou for the info! It’s pretty much standard for soem games to not work with all hardware, i’m used to running workarounds. lol
I’m looking at the G920 as I have the G910 Orion Spark keyboard, and it’s a great piece of kit, so I already have the LGS installed. I like it when things work together without too much messing, but i have just spent the last few weeks tweaking my new skylake build thanks to Z170 boards not playing nicely with DDR4 RAM. lol
If a sticky button is your only issue, then for me that’s not enough to put me off buying it for the price being so reduced.
Thankyou for the depth of info, it’s been really helpful! 
Your welcome, have experience with the wheel, so only fair I should share it. Yeh, the paddle wasnt enough to put me and and ask for a refund when it happened. Its not like the wheel burnt out like my old TX did.
Also, with regards to your skylake build, what ram speed was you using? I have heard that upto 3200 is usually fine with Skylake, but any higher speeds above that may need “tweaking” inside the bios.
Only ask, as I have just picked up an MSI Z170a Krait edition motherboard. Had to go for black and white as it is lush, and it will work with any color combination.
I got an Asus mobo with red lighting all over it. lol Between that, the green lights in my case and the RGB keyboard it looks like christmas every day at my desk! lol
I was running my RAM at 3000Mhz, but the mobo wasn’t giving it quite enough voltage for the timings. What would happen is every time i turned the PC on it would get to the windows boot screen and then just power down, then on the second try it would just boot up fine. Bizarre as it ran fine otherwise, so i knocked the voltage up to 1.35 or 1.4 and it runs fine. With the new chipset mobo makers are playing catch up a bit. The timings on DDR4 with XMP enabled seem to be a bit hit and miss for all manufacturers right now. But there are loads of threads and information all over the net about it. It’s mostly just undervolting the RAM or timings being too tight. mostly upping the voltage by 0.05 to 0.10 volts seems to fix it for most people.
I nearly went for the MSI board, but the Asus one had packet prioritizing, pretty good onboard sound for when i’m not using my Soundblaster FX, and loads of PCIE lanes which will be useful for when DX12 starts using multi cards in games!
I’m still running an old thrustmaster ferrari wheel from years ago on my PC with some bodged drivers, so the G920 will be a nice upgrade that i can run on Xbox and on PC. With all the other work i’ve done on this PC lately, a wheel that just works will be nice! ROFL
