Logitech G27 Racing Controls Are Just Real Enough

The VR Mach 4 Racing Simulator in our list of pricey gaming accessories was a little rich for our blood, but the Logitech G27 racing wheel comes closer. The leather-wrapped steering wheel comes with dual motor force feedback and an optical sensor, rotating 900 degrees. The gear shift attaches like a vice grip to whatever table is functioning as your car’s dash, and there’s a set of pedals with the requisite holey metal look. You’ll need either a Playstation 2, a Playstation 3 or a sweet Windows gaming set-up to use the Logitech G27, plus $300 and enough racing games to justify such an elaborate rig. Pre-orders for a September release window start now. [via CrunchGear]
