PS4 G29 or T300rs

I would love some help choosing between the Logitech G29 and the Thrustmaster T300rs.
At the moment i have the Thrustmaster T150 and i was going to add gear shift and 3 set peddles but im really quite enjoying using paddles to change gear so thing an upgrade with wheel instead.
I have had a G27 set in the past and thought it was ok. I see with G29 you get 3 peddles as standard and shifter not to much to add. I am really torn between both so would love to hear from both G29 users and T300 users for a comparison. At the moment i'm considering the T300rs more. Thank in advance for your help.

 

I'm curious how much of a "downgrade" you think the T150 is from your old G27, since I've never read of anyone else making that step.

All information about G29 is that it's a little smoother, has a rubber brake mod to give more accurate braking, but is otherwise identical to G27.

The T300, which I can compare only to a G25, Fanatec Porsche and T500, is a clear step up from the G25. It has more power, no cog rattle, much smoother, just as free spinning, just as quick to react. It basically feels like an improved G25 in use as a result (whereas the T500 is a very different animal). Once I had upgraded from G25 to T300 on my PC rig I knew immediately that I could never go back, simple as that.

Based on my experience, I'd say you should definitely consider either the T300 alcantara bundle (T300 base, T3PA pedals and 599evo rim) or if you still have G27 pedals there are adapters you can get to use them instead of the bad stock T300RS pedals, in which case you could just get the T300RS package.

 

I agree with the above comments. I moved to a T300RS from a G25 and the difference in FFB and overall feel is huge. There is no centre dead zone and no more notchy feeling movement when turning the wheel. If you do have the Logitech pedals then out may want to use those with the T300 as the stock pedals are not great but are usable.

 

Thank you, the G27 i had was ages ago (ps3) and i've only had the t150 6 months but i know just basic, im far from expert but just love the racing side of games, so yep reading your comments thrustmaster is the way forward. I know what you mean by notchy i remember that from G27 and i also get that at the moment with t150

 

I love my T300

 

Gears don't work on my G29, help

 

I love the T300 and I have a TX and I can say that the rim choices are excellent, F1 2016 is amazing using the Ferrari F1 rim, and likewise when I'm playing Assetto or Pcars I swap out to my 599XX Alcantara rim.

My only gripes are that I have had to send 3 bases back to Thrustmaster now as they had calibration failures, google it and you will see numerous videos on YouTube. Thrustmaster customer service in my experience have been great and I only lose the wheel base for a week and a half tops.

And the other gripe is that the Thrustmaster firmware can only be used on a PC and I only have Mac's with no desire to use Windows so it means I have to use a relatives computer to update my wheel which is a pain. I know I could use an emulator but if it's not worth it for one piece of software.

 

I was planning on getting a T300 or G29 and did a fair bit of research before deciding on the Logitech. Mainly because I still have a DFGT which has had some serious hammer and is still going strong, but also I'd read that the T300 had potential reliability issues. This was about a year ago and maybe things have changed.

I'll pick up a G29 when I see one cheap, but thanks to a pricing error, I picked up a T150 for £45. I missed out on a recent deal at PC world (UK), who were selling the G29 for £99, I'm hoping that offer will be repeated at some point.

 

The T300 is the better wheel, but generally has some reliability issues. The G29 is the inferior wheel, but is more reliable.

 

I must admit this reliability bit is a bit worrying, i could buy G29 setup complete with stick from local currys at the moment for 180 i believe, or just t300 wheel and pedals from argos for 259. I was going to buy locally so then be able to take back if any problems, i was watching stream just yesterday and a guys t300 broke whilst he was streaming and said thats his second in a year, bit off putting.

 

In the end it's a risk/reward decision. The T300 is without doubt the better wheel, in my opinion, but while the G29 has had some issues (wiring inside the rim for the Paddle shifters and buttons can break) it's proven less likely to break than the T300 (mostly power supply related issues, however the number of failures popping up on racing forums is much lower now than last year).

Inside EU with the compulsory 2 year warranty obviously that's plenty of time for power supply issues to show themselves, but there is always the risk that it will expire once the warranty has run out. So you go with the more robust option or the better driving experience based on how painful it would be for it to break and need RMA. Your choice.

 

Thank you i believe i will go with the t300rs and buy from local argos 259 at moment but also buy their insurance that way covered

 

I'll make it qick: T300 all the way. Logitech missed out on developing the G27 into something better so you get all the FFB downsides with FFB non-linearity and physical deadzone that no software will be able to fix.

So getting a brushless motor wheel with belt drive or a not so well designed dual motor one with gears? Like I said: T300 ;-)

 

T300 (or TX)...not really a contest. its purely an upgrade over the g29, the only matter of debate is how much of one.

keep the fan on full blast & don't be preposterously silly about ffb strength & you shouldnt have the infamous 'reliability issues'.
