Logitech G920 Force Feedback Racing Wheel for PC
Logitech announced the G920 Driving Force, its first force feedback racing wheel available for PC, will be available this fall. Built for precision racing and long-lasting reliability, the Logitech G920 Driving Force features Logitech's powerful dual-motor force feedback transmission with anti-backlash helical gearing, hand-stitched leather-wrapped rim, and stainless steel throttle, brake, and clutch pedals.
The wheel is also compatible with the optional Driving Force Shifter, a six-speed manual gear stick with push-down reverse. This is the first Logitech racing wheel available for Xbox One.
"The G920 is the wheel fans have been asking for on Xbox One," said Ujesh Desai, general manager of the Logitech gaming business. "We built on our history and legacy of previous generation driving wheels to deliver on a truly immersive experience for Xbox One gamers. I personally can't wait to get behind our new wheel to play Forza Motorsport 6."
"This is great news for all of the Xbox One racing fans who used a Logitech wheel in the past and have been asking for this on our system," said James Hunter, Director of Business and Strategy, Xbox Accessories. "With the release of Forza Motorsport 6 later this fall racing enthusiasts will now have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the game with the Logitech G920 Racing Wheel."
Realistic Force Feedback
Engineered with dual-motor force feedback, the Logitech G920 Driving Force realistically simulates the feel of weight shift, road conditions, and tire wear, so you can sense under- or over-steering, traction loss and more. With helical gears modeled after the gearing used in real world car transmissions, you get exceptionally smooth, quiet and precise steering action. Anti-backlash hardware also keeps the wheel and pedal input tight to maximize control.
Durable Design
Built to last, the Logitech G920 Driving Force features solid steel ball bearings in the wheel shaft, anodized aluminum spokes, and stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals. High-quality, hand-stitched leather gives the Logitech G920 Driving Force the look and feel of a high-performance racecar wheel, and ensures a more comfortable and durable user experience. Additionally, built-in clamps and bolt points allow you to securely mount the wheel to a table or racing rig to minimize shifting or wobbling during aggressive maneuvers.
Easy Access to Game Controls
For seamless access to racing controls, the D-Pad, console buttons and semi-automatic paddle shifters are conveniently located on the Logitech G920 Driving Force.
Responsive Pedal Unit
The Logitech G920 Driving Force comes with a separate floor pedal unit that lets you comfortably brake, accelerate and change gears, just as you would in an actual car, and also allows you to maintain a more realistic body position for driving. The nonlinear brake pedal mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake system for a responsive, accurate braking feel. Additionally, the G920 includes a dedicated clutch, so gamers who want to test their abilities can have a truly immersive racing experience.
Optional Driving Force Shifter
Available as an optional add-on, the Driving Force Shifter is a six-speed manual gear stick with push-down reverse. The Driving Force Shifter features quality construction, with a solid steel gear shaft and hand-stitched leather boot and knob cover. Built-in clamps and bolt points also allow the Driving Force Shifter to be mounted securely.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G920 Driving Force is expected to be available at global retailers including Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg in the U.S, beginning in October 2015, for a suggested retail price of $399.99. Driving Force Shifter, a six-speed manual gear stick with push-down reverse, is also expected to be available as an optional add-on, for a suggested retail price of $59.99

Really expensive ! don't come with the shifter and the internals seems to be exactly the same of the G27.
And whats the gain of a manual? Zero.
It shifts slower, slower top speed and less efficient.
No one outside the US worrys about manual.
I dont know any serious race car that doesnt have a sequential/auto/automated (manual) transmission.
You normally downshift before a corner and upshift midcorner/corner exit. You think you can hold on to the steering wheel with one hand while fully accelerating??
And for deadzone: almost all cars that can go past 120mph will have that, so just "holding" the steering wheel will not result in any car movement.
One reason i prefer audi/vw over MB or BMW, which tend to have a bit more "play" (havent driven any of the newer electrical systems which allow "adjustments" based on speed etc.), so this actually "matches" the real world.
As long as the FF is good, i willget it..
U doesn't have a soul my friend or never drove a muscle with a stick

The thing is, it all comes down to personal preference. While racing with a sequential gearbox is more efficient, it's also less fun for those who learned to drive that way.
