While there are plenty of brands focused on sim racing gear, it’s Logitech that has long been a go-to option for casual fans. The G923 was, and probably still is, one of the most popular entry-level options for anyone looking for one of the best racing wheels for PC, but it’s now slipping through the midfield as technology advances. The Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel arrived a couple of years ago and does an excellent job at the premium end of the grid, but there has always been an awkward gap on the price ladder where Logitech simply didn't compete.
Previously, if you wanted a mid-range, direct drive option, you’d have to look to brands like MOZA, Thrustmaster, or Nacon’s new Revosim gear. But now Logitech has an answer with its latest wheel, the RS50. This delivers 8Nm of direct drive torque in a $699/£599 bundle with wheel and hub. With TRUEFORCE, a wider Logitech ecosystem of add-ons, and compatibility with PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, it looks like an exciting new contender, especially for fans of the G920 series who want to graduate to something new.
