The Logitech G923 is what you get when a proven platform grows one genuinely new idea. Underneath, it is the same gear driven wheel that made the G29 a fixture of the hobby. On top sits TRUEFORCE, a feedback system that reads the game engine directly and turns it into detail the older motors could not deliver. This is the version we point PlayStation and PC racers toward when they want the trusted Logitech durability plus a little more life in the rim.
This review looks at how the G923 behaves, what TRUEFORCE actually adds, and who is better served saving the difference on a G29. We compared manufacturer specifications with recurring owner feedback, and you can read how we review. New to the terms here? Start with Getting Started.

What TRUEFORCE actually changes
Before we judge the feel, it helps to know what TRUEFORCE is doing that a standard force feedback wheel does not. A conventional wheel receives a broad steering signal and translates it into motor torque. TRUEFORCE taps the game engine at a much higher rate, so vibrations tied to the engine, the road surface, and tire behavior come through as texture rather than a single averaged push. On the G923 that runs on the same helical gear hardware as the G29, so the mechanical texture of the gears is still present. What changes is how much fine information rides on top of it. In supported games the difference is clear. In titles without TRUEFORCE support, you are essentially driving a G29.
How it drives
Owners who race the G923 in supported titles consistently describe a livelier rim than the G29, with surface detail and engine feel that the older wheel smooths over. The core behavior is familiar: 900 degrees of rotation, a strong self centering spring, and clear loading through a corner. Where reviewers differ is on how much the extra detail matters to them. Drivers who play mostly TRUEFORCE compatible sims tend to feel the upgrade every session. Drivers spread across older or unsupported games report that the wheel falls back to G29 territory, which is still capable but no longer distinct. That split is the whole buying decision.
Build, wheel, and pedals
The G923 keeps the hand stitched leather rim and dense, durable build that this line is known for, and adds a row of LED RPM lights across the top of the wheel for shift timing. The pedal set carries a progressive brake spring that firms up under pressure, which nudges you toward smoother braking, though it remains a position based pedal rather than a load cell. The standout extra is dual clutch launch control, a pair of paddles you can configure to nail a clean start off the line. It is a niche feature, but a satisfying one once you learn it.
Compatibility and setup
This is the PlayStation and PC version, covering Gran Turismo 7 on console and the full PC sim range through Logitech G HUB. Xbox players want the G923 Xbox edition, which is the same wheel wired for that platform. Desk clamps handle a table mount out of the box, and a bolt down rig helps once you push harder. As with the rest of the family, the shifter and handbrake are separate purchases.
Who should buy it, and who should skip it
| Buy the G923 if | Skip it if |
|---|---|
| You play TRUEFORCE supported sims and want the extra detail | You play mostly older or unsupported games (a G29 saves money) |
| You want dual clutch launch control and RPM lights | You want direct drive smoothness and strength |
| You value proven Logitech durability on PS5 or PC | You need a load cell brake that measures pressure |
How it scores
