The Logitech G27 is a racing wheel made by Logitech. It supports PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PC. It replaced the Logitech G25 in 2010, 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 G27 is no longer sold by Logitech, in favor of the newer G29 and G920 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 paddle shifters
  • 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 in use
• 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  • Unlike the superseded Logitech G25, the shifter unit does not include a selector to switch to sequential up-down mode, only allowing six-speed mode to be used.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
