And you know, it's great cuz Logitech, they've been thought of as the go-to wheel in the PlayStation or the PC market. They make a high-end to low-end. And I I think this wheel, I mean, the G25 is kind of revolutionary, and this one being here now is very exciting. So, on that note, we're going to get right into the heart of the G27. We're going to start off with the specs on the wheel.

And believe it or not, there's not a lot in the way of cons to the Logitech G27. It's actually a really nice piece of equipment. So, without further ado, let's go to the pieces of kit. To start with, we have the G27 wheel. This is a really nice wheel. This is leather wrapped. This is all metal in here. And in fact, the the shifters in the back are also metal. The actuation is very tight.

- In fact, the entire styling of the wheelbase, shifter and pedals is phenomenal. In my eyes it is really good styling. The steering wheel is 28 cm in diameter and has a stitched leather finishing with perforated leather to the sides of the rim. As you might expect, this does feel really nice to the touch.

The shifter is amazing. It still needs work on it. It could be better, but uh you know, you know, I was going to do a video of me like clutching, braking, accelerating, etc. But the the defects of the pedals, you're going to see in a minute.

I haven't tried it yet in manual with a clutch as yet, since my old G27 shifter seems to be dying a slow, ignominious, death, popping out of 3rd gear mostly, even under full throttle, so I hope the skip shift function still works when Logitech finally builds and releases a G-Pro class H-gate, @LOGI Rich , when using full on manual mode with a clutch and non-sequential shifter.

I have a Logitech G27 that worked normally in the LMU before this update, but unfortunately, my wheel became completely misconfigured after the 1.2 update.
