Thrustmaster TMX PRO VS Logitech G920

Too bad I didn't do some research before buying. A few weeks after I bought it, my brother bought a Thrustmaster TMX PRO that sells for almost the same price or even less. Having used his steering wheel I would definitely buy it. Both bikes don't have a derailleur and both have a clutch pedal and conical brake mod for a more realistic brake feel. However, on the TMX PRO, the mod is easy to install or remove depending on your preferences. Logitech installed it permanently and requires invasive removal, which also voids the warranty. Although I like it, it was a bit too stiff at first, but after about 30 hours of racing it breaks in and feels great. much quieter, very short stroke and much cheaper price. The Thrustmaster is more than twice the price, but feels better, is mostly metal, and is harder to accidentally shift into the wrong gear. Thrustmaster also has a separate shutter board to make it a serial switch. This is ideal for rally racing where paddle shifters can be difficult to use. In sequential mode, however, it's very quiet and doesn't have that nice positive click that a serial switch should have. For that reason if you are primarily looking for a serial switch I wouldn't buy it due to the poor feedback. These are the best specialized options. Logitech pedals are 8-bit pedals, giving a total of 256 unique positions. Sounds like a lot, but when driving Formula 1 cars where braking needs to be incredibly precise, Thrustmaster's 12-bit pedals are noticeably better with 4096 unique positions. However, Logitech pedals grip better on carpet and look better. The G920's steering wheel is much prettier. Fully brushed metal construction with leather upholstery looks good and feels good in the hand. The Thrustmaster is mostly plastic with some rubber grips at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. It looks and feels cheap at first glance. It's about 1/4 inch larger than the Logitech, though, and I like the slight increase. But this is where Thrustmaster runs away from the show for me. When driving with it, the force feedback is noticeably better, more precise and less jagged. I can't say it's in a different league than Logitech, but it's better. The cheapness of a plastic wheel is all but forgotten because of the excellent accuracy you get from force feedback. However, Logitech is not without its advantages, such as B. Better looks and overall build quality. The wheel base has bolt holes for rigid attachment. Which is very nice when used with a stand. The TMX PRO, on the other hand, has no mounting holes and its desktop clip protrudes far enough to block the keyboard tray. Logitech uses double-cushioned brackets that barely protrude downwards to allow access to the keyboard. Both the handlebar pedal boxes and the auxiliary switches have screw holes for rigid attachment. From what I read online, TMX pro has a higher bounce rate. So if you're looking for something that will last, Logitech is probably your best bet. Its dual motor force feedback system is dated and has been around since the G27 wheel, so it's not as good as it could be. However, it is a proven system and many G27 wheels are still in use today. I was just guessing, but I think that might be why Logitech decided not to update it, simply because it's proven to be so reliable.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
