Is the Logitech G923 still the wheel to buy if you want to start racing on Xbox or PC? This Logitech G923 review looks at the Xbox and PC version, which pairs a gear-driven wheel with TRUEFORCE feedback, metal pedals and a progressive brake. It improves on the G920 in meaningful ways. It also now competes with the Moza R3 and Thrustmaster T128 and T248, which are newer and often cheaper.

Design and Build: Steel, Leather and a Smaller Rim

The G923 looks like a proper racing wheel. The rim is wrapped in hand-stitched leather, the face plate is brushed metal, and the pedals are polished metal. It is built more sturdily than most wheels in this class, and the rear shift paddles use a firm, clicky spring.

The wheel is about two-thirds the size of a real steering wheel, so it suits a desk better than a full cockpit. Two clamps lock it to a table, and screw holes let you mount it permanently. The face carries the buttons, a D-pad, a dial and a row of rev LEDs. Those buttons are fine for menus and quick adjustments, but they are not designed for constant use over long sessions.

Pedals and Dual Clutch: Better Brake, No Clutch Paddles

The pedal base is heavy and stays planted under hard braking, which matters more than it sounds. The brake uses a progressive spring instead of the linear spring on older Logitech wheels, so the pedal gets firmer as you press. That gives you a clearer sense of how much pressure you are applying. It is still a spring and not a load cell, so serious sim racers will want to upgrade later.

The dual clutch is handled by the wheel itself. It works in any game that supports a traditional clutch, which is a neat upgrade if you pair the wheel with the Driving Force Shifter. The wheel has no clutch paddles, and Logitech still offers no handbrake, so rally and drift players will need to bind other buttons.

Force Feedback and TRUEFORCE: Detailed, but Game Support Varies

The G923 uses a gear system for its force feedback, and the result is quick and detailed. Even in games without TRUEFORCE, the feedback stays engaging. It is not as strong as a direct-drive wheel, which is the price of the class.

TRUEFORCE connects to the game engine and processes feedback up to 4,000 times a second. In supported games it adds road texture, engine vibration and impacts on top of regular force feedback. The catch is the library. Only a limited number of titles use TRUEFORCE natively, and the effect leans on game audio in some of them, which can make the wheel feel more like a speaker than a steering wheel until you tune it. Check your favorite racing games before you buy, since the extra detail only shows up where the game supports it.

Compatibility and Software: Check the Version You Buy

This listing is the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC version. Logitech sells a separate PlayStation version, so make sure the box matches your console. It connects with a single USB cable plus a power supply and works with most racing games on its supported platforms.

On PC, Logitech G HUB handles wheel sensitivity, force feedback levels and button mapping. Setup is not always smooth. Some players hit problems where the dual clutch stops working until G HUB and the wheel drivers are cleanly reinstalled. The rotary encoder can also miss inputs if you turn it too quickly or too slowly. Early Xbox units had rev LEDs that did not work in some games, so confirm yours lights up in the games you play.

Value: Strong Hardware, Crowded Field

The G923 is a recognizable, easy entry point into sim racing, and its build quality is still excellent for the class. The trouble is the field around it. The Moza R3 and the Thrustmaster T128 and T248 are newer entries that many buyers will find stronger for less money. If you already own a G29 or G920, the upgrade is hard to justify. If you are buying your first wheel for Forza or a PC sim and find the G923 on sale, it is a solid, low-hassle choice.

GameCuki VerdictBuy With Caveats

The G923 is a well-built, gear-driven wheel with a better brake and a useful dual clutch, and it makes a comfortable first wheel on Xbox and PC. Buy it on a discount if you want the Logitech feel and don't need a handbrake. At full price, newer rivals give you more force feedback for less, so compare before you commit.

Bio

I'm Fraser, and I write the reviews on GameCuki. That covers consoles and handhelds, PC gaming hardware, controllers, headsets and accessories, from big purchases like gaming laptops to small add-ons like screen protectors and grips. I build each review from the manufacturer's specs, professional reviews and verified owner feedback, and I check long-term issues like comfort, battery life and durability against several sources before they make it into the pros and cons. Every review ends with who the product is for and who should skip it. I don't accept free products or paid placements, and what I write comes from research, not my own use of the products.
