Based on the contrast difference between Logitech G25 to do evaluation, first contact with the Logitech steering wheel products, users can understand G25 first.

Appearance
We have seen Logitech G27 and G25 are still using the same style, the main colors of green boxes, player who have been concerned about the Logitech products are very familiar that stylish colors. It is very good-looking, scientific and full of technological sense. There are descriptions about various parts characteristics of Logitech G27 in the box.

Open the package, components are placed very neat and has dust-proof plastic packaging, take them out, the main components and the Logitech G25 is almost like, the steering wheel, H files, pedal, power cord, driver CD and manuals, it seems heads are not little focus on this sort of a small box parts, each part has a plastic packaging, this point, the outer introduction finished, let us continue to take a look at the changes in each component compared to Logitech G25.

A rough look, feel little change, use the 11-inch 900-degree rotating disk body, the same twin-engine force feedback. But a careful comparison, the differences will be apparent, and the first plate of the leather-wrapped portion is the same pattern but the color of litchi matte side, and palm feels rough compared with Logitech G25, not uncomfortable, rather an increase of friction, feel a lot better, compared to the Logitech G27 is a bit frosted hand feeling, Logitech G25 is a little worse, because in actual use, the high-frequency rotation, skid plate is very hard to bear.

Again is the pinhole-like dermis to increase the scope of this piece of dermal contact with the object are our hands and palms, which means most of the time we are in these two regions to control plates, and the range of increase, is undoubtedly the key to enhancing feel, especially the thumb this part of the larger region, to facilitate the use of a lot of time programming the button. Logo at the center of the decorative plate to change a silver-modified, using the black style, the whole plate body look more cool, more heavy .

Unfortunately, plastic materials, if the black steel that would be more praise, beautiful or not, a matter of opinion, my personal feelings is good. In the central decorative Logo at the top of the changes is Logitech G27′s unique one: speed of light, can be used as a RPM instructed to do in a very covert, it is reported to be able to manipulate those who use spot a good real-time speed feedback, in the engine speed to reach the limits will be lit one by one, to remind the players at the right time to shift, this feature in subsequent actual use will be mentioned later.

Unique changes of the two: 16 programmed buttons and D-pad, 25 in the disk around each body of a programmed button, but the Logitech G27 suddenly increased to six, I believe that players would like to toss hooked, after all, a sudden increase 3 times the number of playability greatly improved. Last is known as a new steering wheel, precision optical engine to capture subtle movement, the actual use of the following will continue to introduce.

Listed at the beginning in the Logitech G25 pedal majority of players have been realized, and recognized the best one of the areas, in the steel throttle, brakes, clutch pedal basis, Logitech has a slightly changed places: the location of the throttle forward moved, three pedal obviously is not a level line, and this change though subtle, but a good reflection of Logitech’s product development team’s motives, is also in the use of a true closer. But on close examination found that, in fact, is not the relative position of the throttle forward, but changes in the thickness of the pedal, and do not misunderstand, not of metal pieces of thick, but rather to connect the opposite side of metal pedal pedal a little thicker metal parts, This change is also in order to better improve feel of foot, feel of foot in the end can have a good practical control of a separate conclusion.

Logitech’s feature is the independent control of the hand stand, I believe many of my friends are also directed at this with. Logitech G25 hand row of the only players criticized is its rough shift my hand, almost be regarded as a non-small Unfortunately, because the Logitech G25 is a feeling of hand row of toys, only the function, do not touch, that can be used, but using a false, bad mood! then the Logitech G27 have to solve this problem? The answer is yes, through the actual use, obviously, the damping of the partners felt a sense of the shift is relatively Logitech G25,Logitech G27 feeling is almost yes on the one level, with a clear sense of damping, shift accurately, and that is, if the strict requirements, nature can not be real car than that the extent of resistance, but relatively Logitech G25 is a qualitative change, which is what I am most concerned that the changes to Logitech a good solution to this problem out. It is clear to see the rest, and the central rotary knob is gone, replaced by a black Logo decoration, do not think that Logitech is not kind-hearted cut corners, but in fact reflect on what, Logitech G25 has this stall modes are available but also because the structure of in the Logitech G25 at the time of Logitech GT4 and Logitech GT5 faced over evolutionary time, because in Logitech GT4 using the period, the Logitech flagship product is GTFP, because it does not stall, and only the upper and lower toggle to switch stalls, while the Logitech G25 has been on sale the day of with GT5P, the corresponding H file, but in order to take into account the use of the old players habits, and better over products, have such a one can choose different modes of rotating stall button, which in practice Indeed, a considerable sense, Logitech GT5 is now available, Logitech G25 take over the role will no longer be important, naturally lifted up and down this relatively backward shift pattern used in all the H files .

What exactly are the official Logitech GT5 before the sale, there are no new Logitech revolutionary new product is still unknown, at present individual being so understood. Finally mention, hand-wrapped leather rafts that part of the unified Logitech G27 frosted matte leather-like even more of feeling, the other to change the part, less an indicator it is nature that does not require the election.
Accessories:

Logitech-G27-17

The driver CD, manual, transformer and power cord, but there are two kinds of plug, power cord, so that different users can choose according to their own situation, or at least intimate, the three plugs big. Or two drag lines to save board space.

Review: Logitech G27, CNE professional racing bracket, Sony ps3, GT5P. Boot into the game, Logitech G27 As usual began to self-test and found that self-test when the sound is much smaller, almost half of light, feeling very smooth, not afraid to get started under a conclusion, self-test to see when the LED lights, feeling good , green and yellow light turn red.

Gear:

Logitech-G27-18

Start start, select MT, gear feels good, changed several times and found that is not very readily, feeling is to replace a new spring, damper flu is to improve obviously.

However, I certainly can not say perfect! But the voices sound shift Kacha Kacha Light a lot. The overall feeling that a lot of gentle, inappropriate metaphors like the Logitech G25 gear is a room temperature Coke, Logitech G27 is iced, and cool! But still cola, just feel a lot better, but does feel there is a grade increase, because that is Logitech G25′s stall has really done a very general, it is very!

Pedal:

Logitech-G27-20

Feeling that better than before, which is the keystone? That is the accelerator, brakes, clutch relative position have changed, this change to improve a little bit feel of foot, become more real, other basic has not changed, the actual brake or clutch in the , there is a little bit of change,only after experience Logitech G25, and for the first time there will not be used in the basic sense of a big difference.

The biggest change is the gear I thought, the result did not expect was originally set body, seems to replace the Logitech does the new internal structure, get started holding plate body, great feel, matte leather with a leather texture, and non-slip, call films longer than before, and the relative use of more convenient, do not have any measuring tools. Always felt a little thick plate body, in short, great feeling! 6 programmable buttons and the Logitech G25 feel no different, not too big, rough finger friends may be there by mistake possible, the keys are also a general feeling. Later experience, and each bend when playing more than ever the fine, and feel smooth, Logitech G25 feeling that suddenly seems to have been tamed a lot, like the one being tamed The beast can be carried out with great control with every beat bending than ever before are feeling fine, and in some cornering situations that require precision manipulation, can well be some of the details, but these details may be competition The key! you like 100 meters race in 0.01 seconds faster than your opponents, but the results may be far too small! At last glance, the so-called helical gear system, the principle of force feedback, Logitech G27 should use the new gear structure, an increase of fine degree, the benefits of such a structure is the voice of change light, delicate touch, spare parts should also reduce the degree of damage to a lot of, I believe Logitech has also spent a lot of costs and efforts! This is definitely a big improvement bright spot, it seems well-intentioned of Logitech.

Logitech-G27-22

Summary: Logitech G27 is a good continuation of the fine tradition of the Logitech G25, and is in the details at improving a lot, the newly added LED lights and stall speed rotary knob cut is also very good proof of the Logitech as the world’s top one game racing wheel controller design is really up to its name, daring innovations and breakthroughs!
