Logitech Is Back On The Attack With New Sim Racing Hardware

Almost two years after the release of its first direct drive wheel, Logitech has announced a range of sim racing gear at Logi Play 2024 – including new wheels and the revival of an old partnership.

Logitech and sim racing – two terms that were closely linked before the rise of several sim racing brands, direct drive wheels, and high-end pedal manufacturers. Ask any sim racer and chances are that one of their first wheels was a Logitech one, whether that is a G25, G27, or G29/920.

It was only in 2022 that Logitech released their first direct drive wheel, the Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel, accompanied by the PRO Racing Pedals. But despite the wheel itself sporting a quick release, no further accessories have been released since – except for the Racing Adapter that allows to combine other Logitech racing gear with the newer hardware, that is.

So, you could say it was high time for something new to add to the ecosystem. And something new is what sim racers are going to get. At Logi Play 2024, Logitech announced multiple accessories to their racing gear, as well as a relaunch of a partnership that many might recognize from the mid-2000s.

The long delay stems from reliability testing, according to Logitech’s Head of Sim Products, Richard Neville. “We want to make sure the products last, so we did aggressive reliability testing. If we are not happy with it, we do not ship a product.”

That being said, here’s what is coming up soon.

Thus far, it was theoretically possible to change the standard wheel of the PRO Racing Wheel already – there just was not anything to change it for. Logitech now combats this with two new wheel rims, those being the Logitech G RS Round Wheel and Logitech G RS Track Wheel.

The former is – as you probably guessed – a round wheel rim with a diameter of 291 mm, while the RS Track Wheel is closer to what you would find in a GT3 or formula car in shape, also at a 291 mm diameter. The TPE grips feature a “custom microtexture dot pattern” which looks similar to what you would find on the standard wheel that comes with the PRO Racing Wheel.

Both wheel rims are set to retail for €79.99 / $69.99. They are not the only ones available, though.

Logitech Momo Partnership Revived​

Two premium options will also be available, and they are part of a partnership that was iconic in the mid-2000s sim racing scene: Logitech and Italian steering wheel manufacturer Momo are working together again!

This results in the SIM GT 320 and SIM GT-Racer 290 wheel rims sporting similar shapes to the RS Round and Track Wheels. The new generation of Logitech Momo wheels are made from aluminium and feature a microfiber grip – and hand-wrapped, even.

The rims are expected to retail at €199 / $199 and will be available in January 2025.

Like the two RS wheel rims, the Logitech Momo wheel rims will not work with the PRO Racing Wheel base without another accessory, which also opens up more flexibility for even more wheel rims.

RS Wheel Hub​

Similar to what Asetek have created with their button box or Fanatec with their Endurance Button Module, the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub is the base for using other wheel rims on a PRO Racing Wheel base. The hub is nearly identical to the button box that features on the standard wheel, but it does have an LED rev strip at the top as an addition.

Furthermore, the RS Wheel Hub is a compatibility gateway. Those who have the PlayStation edition of the PRO Racing Wheel already can extend their compatibility range to Xbox (and PC, of course) by grabbing the RS Wheel Hub for Xbox – that way, you can switch between all three systems.

The Hub is compatible with the full range of Momo wheel rims, too – as well as other wheel rims using the common 6x70 mm bolt pattern, making it possible to mount a wide variety of wheels. It is set to retail for €139.99 / $ 129.99 (PC version) or €159.99 / $149.99 (Xbox version).

However, if you can live without buttons, Logitech has another interesting option in store now.


The Logitech G RS QR Adapter allows sim racers to mount a wide variety of aftermarket wheels.

For those who enjoy classic cars without any fancy buttons on the wheel or who simply want to mount their third-party wheels that feature a separate USB connection to their PC, the Logitech G RS QR Adapter could be the way to go.

It is a standalone version of the PRO Racing Wheel’s and RS Wheel Hub’s quick release adapter, allowing sim racers to mount most wheels using the 70 and 50.8 mm front-mounting or 70 mm rear-mounting pattern.

The RS QR Adapter will set you back €69.99 / $59.99 – a lot less than many other Quick Release adapters on the market.

With a lot of new wheel- and wheel-base-related equipment coming, Logitech’s final new peripheral is shifting focus away from that – pun intended.

Logitech RS Shifter & Handbrake​

While the Driving Force Shifter has been around for a while, it is not exactly on-par with other shifters when it comes to build quality and compatibility. The Logitech RS Shifter & Handbrake aims fill that gap – at least partially.

The device is a two-in-one peripheral that sim racers can use as a sequential shifter and a handbrake at the flick of a switch. Sadly, it does not work as an H-shifter, so we an upgrade over the existing one is still not on the horizon right now.

Logitech’s new multi-purpose lever comes with a height-adjustable handle, a table clamp and a 20-degree range of movement in handbrake mode with a dual-stage spring setup. The RS Shifter & Handbrake is compatible with the PRO Racing Wheel as well as older hardware via Logitech’s Racing Adapter when running on console.

While many sim racers might have hoped for a new H-shifter option as well, there is a simple reason for its absence from the new lineup, according to Neville: “We address the obvious gaps in our ecosystem, that is why we have no new H-shifter.”

With the exception of the Momo wheel rims, the new Logitech G RS gear is available from their website already.
