Logitech G923 Review (2026): A Premium First Wheel?

This Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals (PlayStation/PC) review looks at a wired wheel-and-pedal set for console and PC players. The G923 is a wired wheel-and-pedal set from Logitech G that works with PS5, PS4 and PC. It sits in the mid-range part of the market, and it is aimed at people who want a proper wheel with force feedback rather than a gamepad.

This review is based on Logitech's published specifications and on what independent expert reviews report. It is not hands-on testing. Across four published expert scores, the G923 averages 8.8/10, and it has been recommended in 3 independent expert buying guides.

Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals (PlayStation/PC) review: who is it for?

The G923 suits newcomers who want a wheel that feels more premium than a basic starter set, without the cost and desk space of a belt-driven or direct-drive rig. In short, it is for beginners who want a premium-feeling wheel for PlayStation or PC.

It is a less obvious choice for two groups. One is owners of the previous Logitech wheels, because reviewers say little has changed. The other is anyone chasing the smoothest, most detailed force feedback available, because the G923 uses a gear-driven system. We cover both points below.

Design and build

Reviewers say the G923's materials feel premium. The wheel has a hand-stitched leather cover and a brushed metal wheel section, and the pedals have polished metal faces.

The wheel is 280mm in diameter and weighs 2.25kg (4.96lbs). The pedal set weighs 3.10 kg (6.83 lb). The pedals measure 167 mm x 311 mm x 428.5 mm (H x W x D), so check your footwell or rig space.

The wheel rotates up to 900 degrees. The steering sensor is Hall-effect.

Force feedback and TRUEFORCE

Force feedback is the main reason to buy a wheel instead of using a controller. The G923 uses a dual-motor system with helical gearing, and Logitech markets its peak torque as 2.3Nm. Reviewers describe the result as strong and responsive for the price.

The headline feature is TRUEFORCE. It syncs the wheel's force feedback with the game engine and processes 4000 times a second in supported games. In practice, that means extra detail and immersion when you play a title that supports it. Reviewers praise this.

There is a catch, and it is the most common criticism. TRUEFORCE only works in a limited set of games. If your favourite racing title is not on the supported list, you get the standard dual-motor force feedback. That is still capable, but you are not getting the full benefit of the headline feature.

Reviewers also note that gear-driven force feedback is less smooth than belt-driven or direct-drive wheels. This is the usual trade-off at this part of the market. It matters less to a first-time buyer, and more to someone who has used a higher-end wheel.

Pedals, dials and on-wheel controls

You get three pedals: throttle, brake and clutch. They connect to the wheel by DB9, so the pedals plug into the wheel rather than separately into your console or PC.

The brake pedal is progressive, and reviewers say it improves on the G29 and G920. A progressive pedal builds resistance as you press, which gives a better sense of how much braking you are applying. The pedal faces are repositionable, which Logitech lists as support for heel-toe technique.

The programmable dual clutch is another useful addition. Logitech says it allows faster launches in supported games. Note that the shifter is sold separately.

A few extras help day to day:

• 24-point selection dial: adjusts traction, torque and brake force.
• RPM LEDs: show your rev range in supported games.
• On-wheel controls: the wheel has PS5, PS4 and PC controls built in.

One gap to know about is that no handbrake is included. If you play rally or drift games and want one, you will need to budget for an extra accessory.

Connectivity and setup

The G923 is wired over USB 2.0, with a 6 ft (1.8 m) USB cable. It also needs power from a 24V 1.75A AC adapter, so you will need a free socket nearby. There is no wireless option.

On the platform side, it works with PS5, PS4 and PC. Reviewers describe setup as simple. On PC, Logitech's G HUB software lets you adjust sensitivity and customise buttons.

The warranty is 2 Year.

What experts like and what they criticise

Expert opinion on the G923 is positive. TechRadar and Tech Advisor each score it 4.5/5, Critical Hit gives it 9/10, and SimRaceReviews gives it 8.2/10. The average across those four reviews is 8.8/10.

Reviewers praise:

• the premium feel of the leather rim, brushed metal wheel and polished metal pedals
• strong, responsive dual-motor force feedback for the price
• the progressive brake pedal
• the extra detail and immersion TRUEFORCE adds in supported games
• simple setup on PS5, PS4 and PC

Common criticisms are:

• TRUEFORCE works in only a limited set of games
• gear-driven force feedback is less smooth than belt or direct-drive systems
• little has changed from the G29 and G920, which makes it a weak upgrade for owners
• no handbrake is included, and the shifter is sold separately

The SimRaceReviews score is the lowest of the four.

Who should buy the G923, and who should skip it

Buy it if:

• you are moving from a controller to a wheel for the first time
• you play on PS5, PS4 or PC and want one wheel that covers them
• you want a wheel that feels well built and has a progressive brake pedal
• you play games that support TRUEFORCE and want to use it

Skip it if:

• you already own a G29 or G920. Reviewers say the G923 has changed little, so it is a weak upgrade. If you are weighing the older model, our Logitech G920 Driving Force review covers it separately.
• you want the smoothest, most detailed force feedback, as a belt or direct-drive wheel is built for that
• you need a handbrake or a shifter out of the box
• you want a wireless wheel

How it fits in the entry-level wheel market

The G923 sits in the middle of the price range for racing wheels. Its appeal is a premium-feeling build, strong force feedback for the price and a pedal set with a progressive brake. Its limits are the gear-driven mechanism and the narrow TRUEFORCE game list.

If you are comparing it with other first wheels, our Thrustmaster T128 review covers another option aimed at newcomers on PlayStation and PC. Check which platforms and games matter to you before choosing, because that decides which features you will actually use.

Verdict

The G923 is a well-built, capable first wheel for PlayStation and PC players. It offers strong force feedback, a progressive brake pedal and a premium feel without moving to a pricier belt or direct-drive setup. Its 8.8/10 expert average reflects that.

The weaknesses are clear. TRUEFORCE only helps in a limited set of games, the gear-driven force feedback is not as smooth as higher-end designs, and there is no handbrake. Existing G29 or G920 owners have little reason to upgrade. For everyone else starting out, it is a strong shortlist candidate.
