Pros and cons
- Hand-stitched leather grip beats the rubber rims common at this price
- Rev-light LEDs and a 24-position selector dial on a budget wheel
- Stainless steel paddle shifters
- Fixed to the base: no quick release, no rim upgrades
- Small 270 mm diameter feels toy-like to some adults
- Paddles click loudly
Watch out: It is not removable: upgrading the rim later means replacing the whole G29.
What it feels like
- Grip
- Weight
- Clickiness
- Reach
Leather feels grippy and solid in your hands but can get slick when sweaty.
The long paddles give a firm, obvious click without looking down.
It's a big, fairly heavy rim that feels stable in slow turns.
Feels like the steering wheel of a mid-size sedan from the 2000s, not a compact GT wheel.
What the G29 rim works with
- Comes in the box with the Logitech G29 Driving Force (PlayStation/PC); it isn't sold on its own.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The G29 rim is the part you touch the whole time, and it is a sensible one for a first rig. It is a round, roughly 270 mm wheel wrapped in stitched leather, with a firm rubber-ish core, two fixed-to-column shift paddles, a D-pad, face buttons and a row of rev LEDs across the top. It suits GT, road car and rally driving better than open-wheel cars, which usually want a smaller rim. The paddles are long and click distinctly, which makes them easy to find without looking. The leather grips nicely but can get slick with sweaty hands, and the rim is on the heavy side, so it adds to the inertia you feel in quick direction changes. The key limit is that it is not removable: the rim is fixed to the base, so there is no quick-release and no way to swap in a different wheel or a 3rd-party rim later. If you upgrade, you replace the whole wheelbase. It also has no display, and some of the buttons feel plasticky. As a starter rim it is good value inside the G29 bundle, and it is not sold separately.
Questions buyers ask
Can I swap this rim for a different wheel or use it on another base?
No. The G29 rim is permanently attached to the base with no quick-release, so you cannot upgrade or change rims. Upgrading means replacing the whole wheel.
Does it work on PS5 and Xbox?
The G29 is made for PlayStation (PS4/PS5) and PC. It does not work on Xbox; Logitech's G923 Xbox version covers that. On PS5 it works with PS4 games and with PS5 games that support legacy wheels.
Are the paddles and buttons good enough for racing?
Yes for most. The two large paddles click clearly and are easy to reach, and the D-pad and face buttons cover basics. There is no display and the buttons feel somewhat plastic.
