Logitech G25 is I4U Top 100 Gift Tip #83

When it comes to driving games on the PC or PS3 one of the best ways to make them more fun and realistic is to add a racing wheel with force feedback. Force feedback takes what drivers normally feel through the steering wheel of a real car and adds the sensation to a video game. Force feedback actually makes many driving games easier to handle.

If someone on your shopping list is a serious driving or racing game fan, the Logitech G25 is hands down the best racing wheel on the market. The G25 isn’t cheap at $299.99, but it is robust and offers a gated shifter and clutch pedal along with strong force feedback effects.

In addition to the gated six-speed shifter, the G25 also has F1 style paddle shifters behind the wheel. The wheel turns 900 degrees for accurate dynamics matching that of most real cars. Everything on the wheel screams quality as well with real leather and metal construction.

For Whom:

The Logitech G25 is the perfect racing wheel for gamers who like driving and racing games playing on the PC, PS3, or PS2 consoles.

The Good:

• Great force feedback effects
• Fantastic construction
• Shifter and clutch pedal

The Bad:

• Expensive
• Bulky
