14 DAY TRIAL // Yesterday, at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition (E3), Logitech unveiled its most advanced gaming wheel ever - the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel - enabling users to bring the most lifelike racing experience into their homes.
A member of the company's extreme-performance G-series family of peripherals for PC gamers, the Logitech G25 wheel offers advanced features which, until now, could be found, as company's representatives stated, only in specialized or custom-made racing simulators that sometimes cost thousands of dollars to assemble.
These features include a six-speed gated shifter and clutch pedal, two high-torque force-feedback motors, an 11-inch wheel, and a full 900 degrees of rotation. The wheel, shifter and pedals are made with premium materials such as stainless steel and leather, delivering the look and feel of parts from a race car cockpit.
The Logitech G25 Racing Wheel is compatible with current racing titles, such as rFactor and Live for Speed, as well as several other PC racing titles currently in development. The wheel can also be used with any PlayStation2 game that is compatible with other Logitech force-feedback wheels, including the Logitech Driving Force and Logitech Driving Force Pro.
For PC and PlayStation 2 games that don't support the six-speed shifting mode, racers can switch the gearbox into sequential shifting mode, which is supported by almost all driving games. A complete list of games that support force-feedback wheels, 900-degree steering, and the six-speed shifter can be found on the G25 product information page at www.logitech.com.
The limited-edition Logitech G25 Racing Wheel will be available through select retailers in the U.S. and Europe beginning in October, at a suggested retail price in the U.S. of $299.99.
