Jumping into my Ford GT40 in Gran Turismo 7, I took the G RS50 out for its first test drive. 5,000 miles later (and roughly 150 different cars later), I’m a little mindblown by how good this is for the price.Read M
The question is whether Logitech has turned up fashionably late to a party that’s already in full swing, or if the RS50 has what it takes to muscle its way through a crowded midfield.Read

The Logitech RS50 wheelbase is a strong re-entry into the mid-range direct drive category. It feels refined, well-built, and delivers excellent performance with or without TrueForce enabled. While it may not have the accessory variety or aggressive pricing of Moza or Fanatec, it makes up for it with simplicity, reliability, and genuine plug-and-play ease.Read G
For those looking to upgrade their racing sim, the Logitech G Pro and the RS50 provide a great option.Watch S
The final direct drive bundle I’d recommend is the newest. The RS50 is the latest sim racing wheel from the powerhouse Logitech. Previously known as kings of the budget sim racing wheel thanks to its G27, G29 and most recently G923. The American brand has since ventured into more premium sim racing hardware.Read B
Straight off the bat, I have to admit the Logitech RS50 is definitely one of my favorite steering wheels that you can purchase in the market right now. In terms of its price to performance, feature set, and also the bundles available on Logitech's official website.Watch G
Is the Logitech RS50 worth it for PS5? Yes — the RS50 is one of the best value direct drive options available for PS5 in Australia. It delivers genuine direct drive force feedback at an accessible price, with TRUEFORCE haptics that add a unique layer of road feel in supported titles like Gran Turismo 7.Read I
With 8Nm of torque, new RS Pedals, and a major step forward in force feedback feel, Logitech’s return to the DD space is way better than most expected. In this review, we test the RS50 on iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and Gran Turismo 7 to see how it compares to Simagic, Moza, and other leading setups.Watch C
The Logitech G RS50 is my first foray into the world of peripherals in quite some time, and I’m impressed by a few things, like how well-priced it is and how many built-in features it has. It plays and handles well on PlayStation 5 with very little (if any) tweaks required to have fun.Read I

The Logitech G RS50 is the best choice for console racers who want Direct Drive and for Logitech users upgrading. The combination of 8 Nm force, TRUEFORCE haptics, and multi-platform support is unique in this price range.Read I
This is our first look at Logitech’s latest entry into sim racing, and so far… we’re impressed. We tested it exclusively on the Play Station 5 running Gran Turismo 7, F1 2025 and Dirt Rally 2.0.Watch D
I went hands on with the Logitech RS50 direct drive racing wheel and I am now utterly hooked in sim racing againRead I
With 8Nm of torque, console/PC compatibility, and a load-cell brake standard, this might be Logitech’s most competitive lineup since the G29. Trinity breaks it all down in Sim Racing Tonight Ep. 2.Watch S
The RS50 offers a viable alternative to Fanatec’s basics, and for virtually the same price too.Read K
If you're looking for the best deal in sim racing, kind of like poundforpound best deal there is you can get today bar none, it's probably this, the Logitech RS50.Watch G

Logitech G Pro / RS50 – surprisingly underrated and very capable.Read K
It's very unique, and I really, really like it. I actually think the wheel and the wheel basease itself in their design is very understated. Now, I mentioned understated when I was looking at the Fanatic handbrake the other day. That I thought was understated in a kind of bland way. This I don't think comes across anywhere near as bland, but it's definitely understated.Watch S
You can of course tweak them further if you want to, but I think Logitech have done a pretty good job uh publishing this list of settings. However, um it is hidden away. That's something which is odd.Watch F
I Declare The Logitech RS50 To Be The Best Wheel Setup For GT7 On PS5 Pro & PSVR 2Watch A
I’ll take the table clamp on the RS50 over the G29’s setup any day of the week! Of course, I knew these were all just minor details compared to what’s going on inside. I feared upgrading to a wheel with 8 NM of torque after only having access to 2 NM would be overwhelming.Watch C
Now, in terms of quality, it it looks really good. It looks very expensive, really good finishes. I mean, on the website, you can pick and choose like the materials you want. So, I opted to go pretty much all the way. Uh, you know, just pick all the options that were available. So, I went with the carbon fiber glossy finish uh on the front plate. um a carbon fiber glossy for the rotaries.Watch S
The first thing I noticed, the RS50 looks and feels fantastic. The wheel rim feels premium. Leatherwrapped, solid buttons, tight construction. Everything just screams quality. Logitech clearly took its time studying the market before jumping into the direct drive world. Next to it, the Fanitech GT DD Pro feels more like a professional tool. Cleaner, more industrial, but rock solid.Watch B
The brake is really the star here. Out of the box, it's firm. And if you're used to the G920 pedals, it's going to feel strange at first. You're not pushing it far, you're pushing it hard. But once your muscle memory adjusts, braking becomes way more repeatable. You start hitting the same braking pressure lap after lap instead of guessing based on pedal travel.Watch S
INSANE! The NEW Logitech G RS50 Better than Fanatec DD Pro! The BEST PS5 Wheel?Watch S
The Logitech G RS50 offers 8 Nm of torque, a well-built wheel rim, magnetic paddle shifters, TrueForce, and a more modern, easy-to-use experience right from the start. The Thrustmaster T598, launched in 2024, features 5 Nm of constant torque with peaks of up to 10 Nm thanks to overboost, plus a more affordable price and pedals included in the bundle.Watch S
I don't want to stop driving it. IT WAS AWESOME!Watch S
I don't want to stop driving it. IT WAS AWESOME!Watch A
Very nice packaging so far. Beautiful. Look at that. That feels really nice. Feels really good. The size is a little bit bigger than the other wheel, which is great. Probably not as big as I would like for it to have been. This is not leather. It's a silicon leather. Still feels really good, but I much prefer the shape of the pro wheel. But you can't actually get the pro wheel shape.Watch T
Perfect for sim racing enthusiasts and streamers, this system combines durability, precision, and immersive gameplay for AAA racing titles and competitive racing setups.Watch T
I get plenty of force and road detail without it feeling dangerous or fatiguing. It gives me confidence in corners and weight transfer without turning every session into a workout. Compared to my previous wheel, the step up in feedback quality was immediate. The RS50 feels quieter, smoother, and more linear.Watch C
It is an excellent wheel. I can already say even though I'm doing a little quick little show you what's in the box. Let's have a look and I'll give you some thoughts of what I've you I've learned from using them for a short period of time. We open up. We've got lots of cool little instructions here. Nice diagrams. And right at the top we've got the wheel. Right.Watch V
This sim racing wheel is designed to deliver precise steering and immersive racing performance.Watch T
Designed for serious racing enthusiasts, this setup delivers precise steering, realistic road feel, and fast response times that bring you closer to the experience of driving a real race car. But, is it really worth buying at its current price? And how do these specifications translate into real-world racing performance? Right away, the biggest highlight is the 8 Nm direct drive motor.Watch G
The base is great for a mid-range 8 Newton meters. There's just a couple of things that I didn't know before buying that many reviews don't cover. The price, we have to split this into categories. PlayStation user and PCON user. If you're a PlayStation user, the only strong alternative is Fanitech.Watch K
So, my initial thoughts is everything feels really high high quality, really premium. Um, especially coming from the last wheel I had, which was a Logitech G920, which I'm sure everyone starts off on at least. Um, yeah, I like the way that wheel felt. I love that wheel. Had it for like two years. I played the out of it, beat it up. My dog chewed the wire, fixed it.Watch T
Whether you're researching the best entry-level direct drive racing wheels, comparing sim racing setups for PS5, or looking for genuinely realistic force feedback technology, the Logitech G RS50 offers a compelling introduction to serious sim racing hardware.Watch

It feels like it's been ages since Logitech came to market with a new sim racing system that was easily recommendable to most PS5 players. Of course, the G Pro and RS Wheel Hub have both been around in recent times, but their high prices have made it difficult to see them as progressions from the classic G923 and G920 wheels that are still popular today.Read O
This does look compelling, but there are some things to consider.Watch C
While I wish Logitech had made the screen slightly larger, simply to improve visibility and allow more information to be displayed, it clearly indicates which setting you are adjusting, which is the most important thing.Read S
After nearly two months of real-world use, I share what the RS50 does brilliantly, where it falls short, and whether it's the best price-to-performance DD wheelbase for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox owners.Watch B
But as we’ll explore in this review, the Logitech G RS50 holds its own and brings some genuinely standout features to the table.Read S

The Logitech RS50 looks like the new king of the mid-range market: industrial aluminum build, rock-solid quick release, and force feedback that punches way above expectations. But after weeks of testing, I uncovered a major acoustic issue that could make this base impossible to use in a shared living room.Watch T

I can not help but remain disappointed at the RS50 given its price point. My biggest issue so far is the unreliable dials, add to that the lack of support for the "GL and GR" buttons (there is already too few buttons here) and the weird button mapping for the paddle shifters and the sequential shifters (they are detected the same!).View post K

Hello my friends and welcome to a new video. In the last review of the Logitech RS50, I asked you guys to put in the comments to which wheelbase you wanted me to compare it. There was the Thrustmaster T598 or the Fanatec GT DD Pro 8. The answer was to compare it with both.Watch S r/simracing u/OkMonth472 · owner
