Logitech G920 (Xbox One / PC) & Logitech G29 (PS4 / PS3) +video First Impressions E3 2015

---

Logitech va proposer deux nouveautés dans le domaine des volants et pédaliers pour PC et consoles, qui va succéder (enfin) à son célèbre G27 lancé il y a déjà cinq ans. Tous deux partagent le même châssis. Le Logitech G920 et Logitech G29 se distinguent par quelques détails que nous allons découvrir. Tous deux disposent d’un système de retour de force à deux moteurs, semblable à celui utilisé sur le G27. On retrouve également des engrenages hélicoïdaux, plus silencieux, eux aussi déjà employés sur le modèle précédent. Ces derniers auraient été améliorés afin de limiter le jeu du volant. Il en est de même pour les capteurs de position intégrés, présentés comme plus précis. Sur le volant des G29 et G920 on retrouve également l’ensemble des boutons normalement présents sur une manette de PlayStation 4 ou de Xbox One.

Le G29 profite toutefois de petits plus sur son volant avec une molette de sélection a 24 crans, semblable à celles que l’on peut voir sur les volants de Formule 1. Selon Logitech, ce commutateur, accompagné par deux boutons +/- permet « d’optimiser vos préférences de conduite ». Autre avantage, il dispose d’un indicateur à LED pour le régime moteur habitué des volant de véhicule de course dénommé shift-light.

Le volant, qui profite d’un habillage en cuir noir (cousu main) et d’éléments en acier comme les palettes de changement de vitesse et les branches.

Pour ces nouveaux modèles, Logitech a choisi de ne proposer le levier de vitesse qu’en option. Mêlant cuir, plastique et acier, ce levier permet de sélectionner six vitesses via une grille en H. Pour la marche arrière, il faut comme sur une vraie voiture appliquer une pression supplémentaire pour l’enclencher.

Logitech G29 Driving Force the definitive sim racing wheel

NEWARK, Calif. Logitech, a leading innovator of gaming peripherals, announced the Logitech G29 Driving Force, a force feedback racing wheel licensed for PlayStation 4 (PS4) and PlayStation 3 (PS3). Built for precision racing and long-lasting reliability, the Logitech G29 Driving Force features a dual-motor force feedback transmission with anti-backlash helical gearing, hand-stitched leather-wrapped rim, and stainless steel throttle, brake, and clutch pedals.

“Our fans have been asking for a PS4 wheel since launch of the system. For the past 18 months we have been working with Sony to deliver a fully-licensed racing wheel and I am excited to announce it today.” – Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of the Logitech gaming business

Realistic Force Feedback

Engineered with dual-motor force feedback, the Logitech G29 Driving Force realistically simulates the feel of your car with weight shift, realistic 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 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 G29 Driving Force features solid steel ball bearings in the wheel shaft, and stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals. High-quality, hand-stitched leather gives the Logitech G29 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 seat 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 G29 Driving Force. LED indicator lights tell you exactly when to shift, so you can maintain maximum acceleration without taking your eyes off the track. A 24-point selection dial and plus/minus buttons let you also fine-tune your driving preferences.

Responsive Pedal Unit

The Logitech G29 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 G29 includes a dedicated clutch, so gamers who want to test their abilities can have a truly immersive racing experience.
