The Logitech G27 is an electronic steering wheel designed for Sim racing video games on the PC, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. It uses a USB interface, and is based upon the previous G25, with some new features including the use of helical gearing instead of the previous straight gears used on the G25.[1] As of December 2015, the Logitech G27 is no longer sold by Logitech, in favor of the newer G920 and G29 steering wheels now offered by Logitech.
Specifications
It features:
- A wheel:
- 270 mm, leather-wrapped steering wheel.
- Range of rotation adjustable up to 900 degrees.
- 2 force feedback motors.
- One set of gears between motors and wheel, including an anti-backlash design.
- 2 paddleshifters.
- 6 buttons.
- Dual-motor force feedback with helical gears that produces less noise than the G25, and provides better steering response.[1]
- A set of stainless steel pedals, including:
- Accelerator. (light spring)
- Brake (heavy spring)
- Clutch. (medium spring)
- A carpet grip which keeps the pedals in position while playing.
- A shifter unit:
- 8 buttons.
- 1 D-pad.
- A gear stick with a six-speed 'H' pattern gearbox. Reverse is selected by pressing down and changing to sixth.
- Unlike the superseded Logitech G25, the shifter unit does not include a selector to switch to sequential up-down mode, only allowing six-speed mode to be used. The shift click has improved though and gives less noise.
Compatibility
