Logitech has announced that its much-awaited racing wheel and pedal set, Logitech G923, will be available in Malaysia in September. Though, there is no specific date of when in September but we can safely assume it’s in a matter of days since we are just 8 days shy from October at the date of this posting.
The new 923 racing wheel is Logitech’s answer to the demand for a more realistic driving experience. Featuring TRUEFORCE, a new high-definition force feedback system that dials into a game’s physics and audio engine that would deliver an ultra-realistic experience is how the company aimed to do that.
“A great force-feedback racing wheel can be the difference between crossing the finish line first and spinning off the track and not finishing at all,” said McLaren F1 driver Lando Norris.
“The new Logitech G923 wheel with TRUEFORCE gives drivers an authentic experience behind the wheel and simulates the details we feel as racing drivers. I can feel if the rear of the car loses grip or if I’m about to spin, which gives me the best chance to quickly correct it, and stay ahead of the competition.”
TRUEFORCE
TRUEFORCE is a proprietary high definition force feedback technology that revolutionizes what’s possible in supported racing games.
Using actual game physics and audio in real-time, it allows players to feel things like the roar of an engine, tire traction, the terrain of the track, and feedback of the steering wheel more than ever before.
TRUEFORCE connects directly to in-game engines, processing at up to 4000 times per second to produce next-gen realism and detail in supported games.
“For the last few years, we’ve been working with sim drivers, and professional race car drivers to develop a full-featured, realistic driving experience like no other,” said Ujesh Desai, general manager at Logitech G.
“With TRUEFORCE you really get to feel the road, along with all the subtle features of the race car. It truly elevates the experience, and everyone we’ve had try it always walks away with a smile!”
Design and Feature
Designed for today’s sim racers, the G923 wheel and pedals have been modernized with a brushed metal steering wheel, polished pedals and a leather wheel cover for maximum comfort. In addition to that, the G923 was designed with a number of new features, including:
- Programmable Dual Clutch Launch Controls – allows racers to get off the line cleaner
and faster with a programmable dual-clutch that facilitates maximum traction and
minimum smoke. - Built-In Rev Indicator – built-in colored LED lights indicate your RPM range, alerting the
racer when they’re hitting redline. - On-Wheel Game Controls – game controls for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5*
consoles integrated into the steering wheel for total control at your fingertips. - Progressive Brake Pedals – featuring a new progressive spring for a more responsive
feel, the new brake pedal responsiveness adds more realism and control. - 24-Point Selection Dial – built-in selection dial allows the racer to adjust traction, torque,
automatic stability management, brake force, and more.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals will work with PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One when it launches in September 2020, for a suggested retail price of RM 1,990. The G923 will also work with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X when the consoles launches this November.
