Game compatibility is often a sticking point for new steering wheel releases, and while I did run into a few hiccups with the Logitech RS50 in its native mode, these were quickly resolved by using the onboard controls and screen to switch to G Pro compatibility mode.Read T
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 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 D
As you might recognise, there are many options in this price category, but when you factor in price, performance, and compatibility, the Logitech RS50 bundle seems to be a compelling value, particularly for console players. Fanatec's bundle can't be ignored, particularly for PC players, but for console players, it's a pretty good value.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 T
The sensations transmitted by the setup are outstanding in richness and fidelity. While driving, the system allows you to clearly perceive the grip limit of the front tires under heavy load, the specific texture of the asphalt you are stepping on, and the dry, characteristic vibration when biting the curbs.Read I

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
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 S
The performance of the Logitech RS50 didn’t really come as a surprise for me. On paper, this seemed to be a phenomenal answer for the console-market. 💎 Design and Build Quality I’m all for this Logitech design. The RS50 looks really nice — especially compared to the competition.Read 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 A
The paddles on the G29 are frail by comparison, and I was shocked to hear someone complain about the ones on the RS50 in a YouTube review. I drove several Porsches with PDK last year, and the experience felt similar.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's latest mid-range sim racing system has arrived, and the RS50 is the best wheel to grab for any PlayStation gamer right now.Read 9
With 8 nM of torque and a premium design and feel, the Logitech RS50 is a competitive new addition to the sim racing market.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.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 G
Now, after getting used to the new set-up, I'm happy with the placement and feel of both the buttons and encoder wheels.Read S
Um I'm using their settings because they do seem to be pretty well balanced and measured. So I'm fine to go with those. 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 D
I went hands on with the Logitech RS50 direct drive racing wheel and I am now utterly hooked in sim racing againRead S
So, yeah, it's incredible. Even the styling, you know, with these uh, you know, fins to give it some cooling to increase the surface area are the same.Watch R
Logitech G Pro / RS50 – surprisingly underrated and very capable.Read F
I Declare The Logitech RS50 To Be The Best Wheel Setup For GT7 On PS5 Pro & PSVR 2Watch O
The latest version is working great for me on my RS50.Read A
Not only do I love the fact that the RS50’s wheel is perfectly round (which is essential for drifting), but it’s much nicer to hold on to. The paddles on the G29 are frail by comparison, and I was shocked to hear someone complain about the ones on the RS50 in a YouTube review. I drove several Porsches with PDK last year, and the experience felt similar.Watch S r/simracing u/OkMonth472 · owner
Logitech RS Track Wheel, looks and feels AMAZING!Read thread G
The rest don't, but I think it's more than sufficient to hold it in place. and with the pedals. Let me show that. That was a bit of a weird one. So, the way I've done it is you can see there, one is on the inside and the other is on the inside as well with the screws both on the inside too. That was the only way I found I could attach.Watch F Facebook Brennon C Martin · owner
RS50 is a great wheel.View post G
That works perfectly. And then for the shifter, you go. You can see it changing gear. So it works perfectly on the game. And accelerator and brake is fine as well. And just to show you the settings I've got on the shifter and drifter. So on the shifter I've got sequential mode selected, which is the one on the side. And on the drifter, which is the handbrake, I've gone for the digital mode.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
From its beautiful aluminium design and handy built-in display to its powerful 8Nm torque and immersive TrueForce feedback, the Logitech RS50 really impressed me. But it’s not without a few issues — I’ll cover them all in this honest, in-depth review.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
Build quality is excellent.Watch S
INSANE! The NEW Logitech G RS50 Better than Fanatec DD Pro! The BEST PS5 Wheel?Watch S
IT WAS AWESOME!Watch S
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
The RS50 feels quieter, smoother, and more linear. Harsh, clunky vibration is mostly gone, and in its place, I get a more realistic steering load that helps me drive by feel instead of guesswork. I also care a lot about wheel feel in hand and the setup feels premium.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
Built with 8 Newton meters of direct drive torque, an 11-in wheel, adjustable paddle shifters, and TrueForce force feedback, this setup aims to deliver a realistic driving experience that puts you closer to the track than standard racing wheels.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 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 G
I FINALLY (after a week with the wheel) made the jump from the Logitech G923 pedals to the Logitech RS50 pedals — and this is a serious upgrade.Watch I
Affordable Direct Drive!Watch

The Logitech G RS50 System provides sim racing gamers with an unparalleled level of realism. With Direct Drive technology paired with TRUEFORCE feedback, you’ll feel every subtlety of the road, from different terrain textures to engine vibrations. Paired with its customizable components and solid build quality, the RS50 provides a premium racing experience.Read O
This does look compelling, but there are some things to consider.Watch S
Admittedly, Logitech’s catalog of steering wheels pales in comparison with Fanatec’s, and this is true of all other brands if you think about it. However, in terms of feel and feedback, the RS50 packs a punch, so much so that it begs the question of which ecosystem to choose.Read S
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
As such, when I messed up in Forza Motorsport I couldn't really blame the gear, as the RS50 felt spot on with reading my inputs and feeding back an almost overwhelming amount of force, both subtle and sledgehammer-like.Read M
So, I don't love the steering wheel that much. I do like that you have like a little display in here. You can make better use Oh, they hit me. You can make better use of it when you're driving on PC, by the way. So, you can set things in there like your gears. It's like a little display.Watch C
The paddle shifters feel as good as ever and have quietly become my favourite feature of the RS50 System. They are firm enough to require deliberate input, which helps prevent accidental shifts.Read G
Logitech RS50 + (RS PEDALS) Is SUPERIOR, BUT HAS ONE CRITICAL DEFECT!Watch S
This does make it the most expensive direct drive bundle in this comparison, and it comes with another negative. The bundle that is currently available does not include a pedal set.Read B
The new Logitech RS50 Sim Racing Wheel is finally here, and it’s Logitech's first budget direct drive wheel.Watch S
I configured the settings to match Logitech's recommendations for FM 2019 and it feels okay but I'm finding it really difficult to tell where the limit is, so something's still off.Read 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 B
The RS50 is Logitech’s first serious alternative to the Fanatec GT DD Pro for PlayStation users in this price category.—and offers a superior driving experience overall.Read F Facebook David LaCroix · owner
The amount of adjustabilty, smoothness, feedback and on is downright awesome! HOWEVER. What i DO NOT like is the button configuration.View post S
Watch out for: proprietary quick release (no Cube, Ascher, or Fanatec wheels); GHUB-only software; no boost kit upgrade pathRead C
If you’re the type who prefers tinkering with every detail to maximise your settings, the RS50 may disappoint.Read

I own the rs50. The base keeps disconnecting and I believe it's from the wheel hub or adapter. The wheel mounted is now wobbling and I can hear a part rattling when I take off the wheel and shake it.View post O

This is the Logitech RS50. Im telling you right now, this wheelbase is going to shake things up a lot. Logitech sent this for review, I also have an affiliate link with them if you want ot help the channel out. As always I say what I want, they have no control of the video.Read F
It's been a while since I've done anything on the sim racing front, but we just had Logitech announce the RS50, which is an 8 Newtonmeter direct drive wheel that is compatible with PlayStation and PC or compatible with Xbox and PC.Watch G

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
