Logitech G923 Review: Has the TRUEFORCE-Equipped G29 Successor Really Improved?

My conclusion is that the Logitech G923 is a genuine successor to the G29, with clear improvements through TRUEFORCE technology and the removal of the slack around center. Its official price as of July 26, 2026, is ¥57,500–¥63,250. Pricing conditions have changed since my earlier videos, but its roadster-like pedal feel, the reliability of the Logitech brand, and the completeness of a shifter-equipped setup still make it a strong option in the entry-to-mid-range segment.

In this article, I will organize what I have said across 20 Picar Channel videos about the G923, mainly for intermediate users considering an upgrade from the G29. I cover the significance of TRUEFORCE, the reality of its price increase, and where it sits against the T300RS and G29.

Verdict in 30 Seconds

The conclusion from my coverage across 20 Picar Channel videos is that the Logitech G923 is “a current model that has unquestionably evolved from the G29 through TRUEFORCE and the removal of center slack, with an official price of ¥57,500–¥63,250.” At its current official price, compare it carefully with the T300RS and entry-level direct-drive wheels in the same price range before deciding. If you have a strong reason—such as preferring Logitech or keeping the total cost of a shifter setup down—the G923 remains a strong candidate.

What Is the Logitech G923? The TRUEFORCE-Equipped G29 Successor

The G923 is the direct successor to the G29, and its defining feature is a next-generation FFB technology called TRUEFORCE.

For a broader look at the options, also see the Logitech G RS50 Official Specifications Guide: 8 N·m, PS5 and PC Compatible and my Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel review based on past videos: 11 N·m.

Force feedback is a feature that communicates in-game road conditions, vehicle behavior, impacts, and other information to the driver as vibration and resistance through the steering wheel. It gives you the sensation of actually driving a car. TRUEFORCE, fitted to the G923, works directly with a game's physics engine to transmit finer vibration and audio information that conventional sim racing wheels could not fully reproduce. Engine rpm, tire grip, road-surface undulations, and countless other in-game elements reach your hands with an unprecedented sense of realism. This helps the player understand the car's condition more accurately and drive with greater finesse. With TRUEFORCE, the G923 is a model designed to take immersion in racing simulators to a new level.

— From Picar Channel's “Sim Racing Wheel Review: G923”

The essence of TRUEFORCE is that it works “directly with the physics engine,” transmitting engine rpm and tire-grip information to the wheel through high-frequency vibration. It is an evolution in a different direction from Fanatec's pure direct-drive systems and Thrustmaster's belt-drive wheels.

Price History Discussed in Past Videos

The prices below are records from when the videos were published. For a current buying decision, use the price in the official-information section above as of its listed check date.

The price increase is impossible to ignore when assessing the G923.

When I originally bought the G923, it cost around ¥32,000, but its price has now risen to around ¥50,000 due to factors including semiconductor shortages. There was also a period when you could buy it for roughly ¥45,000, but it is even more expensive now. So, while actually using it, I will compare it and see just how much the G923 has evolved from the G29.

— From Picar Channel's “G923 Re-tested in Gran Turismo 7: The Evolution from the G29 Is Impressive”

At its original ¥32,000 price, I could call it a reasonably priced successor that had clearly improved on the G29. But at around ¥50,000, it entered almost the same price bracket as the Thrustmaster T300RS—around ¥50,000, or in the ¥30,000 range during sales. That is the biggest factor making the G923 difficult to judge as a purchase.

Real-World Feel and Driving Impressions: What I Found Across 20 Videos

Less Slack Around Center and More Linear FFB

The G923's most significant improvement over the G29 is the removal of slack around center. This had long been seen as a weakness of Logitech products.

Removal of center slack and a more linear response: The G29 had a slight feeling of “play” or a dead zone near the center of the wheel, which could make force feedback feel slow to respond. On the G923, however, this slack around center has been substantially improved. Logitech FFB has traditionally had a characteristic where the magnitude of yaw movement corresponds to torque strength, but the G923 delivers more linear FFB. As a result, information such as tire grip, road-surface undulations, and weight transfer reaches the steering wheel with more nuance and directness. It is especially easier to sense how much grip the tires have left and where peak grip lies.

— From Picar Channel's “G923 Re-tested in GT7”

FFB that lets you read how much grip the tires have left can greatly improve the efficiency of your practice. If you have experienced the G29's vagueness around center, moving to the G923 genuinely gives you that feeling of, “the evolution is impressive.”

It Looks Almost Identical to the G29, but the Internals Differ

Put the G923 next to the G29 and there is barely any exterior difference. That naturally raises the question, “Has it really improved?” But there are genuine internal changes.

First, let us unbox the G923 and compare its exterior and components alongside the G29. The power cable and similar items appear unchanged from the G29. At first glance, the steering-wheel unit itself does not show any major differences either. The wheel shape, button layout, and even the sound of the paddle shifters feel almost identical. On closer inspection, though, the PS4/PS3 selector switch found on the G29 is gone from the G923. That is a subtle change. Aside from a slightly different color tone, the basic design clearly follows the G29. There may be changes to the internal gear structure, but I cannot verify them from the outside. I also feel the gear noise may be louder on the G923.

— From the same video

My impression that the G923's gear noise is louder may suggest that its added TRUEFORCE hardware is audible. If quiet operation is your top priority, the belt-driven T300RS may be the better fit.

Performance Order: T300 > G923 > G29

I have given a clear ranking for where these wheels sit relative to each other.

My impression of the performance order is T300 > G923 > G29. You could say the G923 has performance that comes quite close to the T300. …If the G923 costs more than ¥50,000 and there is hardly any difference in price from the T300, the T300 is worth considering too. The T300 has the advantage if you want interchangeable wheels or more serious expandability. But if you prefer Logitech products and want to keep the total cost down while including a shifter and clutch pedal, the G923 is a highly cost-effective option.

— From Picar Channel's “G923 Re-tested in GT7”

My assessment that the G923 comes quite close to the T300 reflects the amount of information provided by TRUEFORCE. However, when they cost nearly the same, the T300 wins on expandability. So if you are undecided in that situation, choosing the T300 is the reasonable conclusion.

FFB Assessment in GT SPORT: Comparison with Other Wheels

My three-wheel comparison video made an interesting point about the G923's FFB.

Logitech G923: The pedals are excellent, especially the brake pedal's controllability. However, the force feedback felt flat and did not provide much information, making road conditions and changes in tire grip difficult to feel. That reduced immersion as a simulation.

— From Picar Channel's “G923 / T300RS / CSL Elite: Three-Wheel Comparison”

The comment that its FFB was flat and low on information suggests that TRUEFORCE may not have been fully effective in GT SPORT. As GT7 support matured, later videos showed an evolving assessment: TRUEFORCE was able to demonstrate its real value more clearly. With TRUEFORCE-equipped gear, it is important to remember that the evaluation can change depending on the title and update timing.

Official Support in Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025

For the 2025 release Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025, developer Genki published recommended settings with official support for Logitech sim racing wheels, including the G923.

Genki's official page for Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025 provides detailed information on the sim racing wheels currently used in development and their recommended settings. At this time, the listed test environment includes Logitech's G923, G29, and G Pro, as well as Thrustmaster's T300RS.

— From Picar Channel's “Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025: First Play and Detailed Sim Racing Wheel Settings”

The G923 is one of the pieces of equipment in the official Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025 test environment, and recommended settings have been released by the developer. That gives it a reassuring position for this game.

The Total-Cost Advantage of a Shifter Setup

A less obvious strength of the G923 is its compatibility, like the G29, with the separately sold Driving Force Shifter.

When you consider the total cost including a shifter and clutch pedal, the G923 has an advantage. Building a T300 setup with a shifter can cost around ¥80,000 to ¥90,000, whereas with the G923 you can put together the wheel and G29 shifter for the ¥60,000 range. That approximate ¥20,000 difference is a major attraction for users who want to keep their budget down.

— From the same video

For users who want to enjoy H-pattern shifting or reduce their total spend, the G923 paired with the existing G29 Driving Force Shifter remains a compelling option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the biggest difference between the G923 and G29?

A. TRUEFORCE technology and the removal of slack around center. TRUEFORCE works directly with a game's physics engine to communicate engine vibration, tire grip, and road-surface detail as high-frequency feedback through the wheel. The “play” or dead-zone sensation around center present on the G29 is almost eliminated, delivering more linear FFB.

Q2. Is a price of around ¥50,000 reasonable?

A. At its original ¥32,000 price, it was reasonable. At around ¥50,000 today, however, it needs careful comparison with the similarly priced Thrustmaster T300RS—particularly when the T300RS is on sale in the ¥30,000 range. Broadly speaking: choose the G923 if you strongly prefer Logitech or want to limit the total shifter cost; choose the T300RS if versatility and expandability matter more.

Q3. Can I use a G29 shifter with the G923?

A. Yes. The Driving Force Shifter is compatible with both the G29 and G923, so anyone who already owns the G29 shifter needs to replace only the wheel base. That is one of the G923's understated strengths.

Q4. Does it work on PS5?

A. Yes. The G923 supports PS5, PS4, and PC, and has official support in GT7, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025, and other titles.

Q5. Is TRUEFORCE effective in every game, including GT7 and iRacing?

A. It depends on the game's support. Because TRUEFORCE works directly with a game's physics engine, it cannot show its full capability in unsupported titles. Its effect has been confirmed in major titles such as GT7, iRacing, and the F1 series, but in older games such as GT SPORT there have been cases where I assessed the FFB as flat and lacking information.
