I tried the Logitech G923 Trueforce wheel again and it’s still a great entry point for sim racing fans

The first time I tested the Logitech G923 Trueforce was close to its release in 2020. 

After testing dozens of wheels, I returned to the G923, and it’s still a very reliable entry-level unit.

Assembling the Logitech G923 Trueforce reveals its real strength. 

It strikes the perfect balance for those who want a steering wheel with believable feedback and an accessible user experience.

Setting it up took just around 10 to 15 minutes.

The docking system is built-in. Two small buttons on the sides activate the clamps, which you then rotate by hand. 

It’s a very simple setup, and the grip on the table is firm. 

The cables are crammed into the bottom of the wheel, with four recesses in which you can tuck them very neatly.

The Logitech G923 Trueforce is noticeably smaller than other wheels I’ve tested recently, but that doesn’t mean less care has been taken with it.

The all-leather wheel rim and exposed stitching give it a true racer look and make it comfortable and pleasant to grip even without gloves.

I tried the PS5/PC version, and the PlayStation buttons all have the right clickiness. Only the directional cross is a tad softer.

The built-in rev indicator just above the logo in the reflective glass is cute, functional, and well-nested in the overall design.

The sequential paddle shifters have a problem, though.

You can hear their click before they finish their run, and this often makes you think you’ve shifted gears but really haven’t yet.

The setup experience on F1 24 was great. I always like a lighter brake, so I switch the brake and clutch pedals as soon as possible. 

With other brands’ steering wheels, this simple task can take a long time and even prove unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, the G923 Trueforce makes it as trivial as it sounds.

I was also surprised by how light the pedal unit is and how, despite its light weight, it manages to stick to the floor all the time.

That said, steering feels very accurate, and it was as if I had never stopped using the wheel in these nearly five years.

When in the middle of the track, the feedback is lighter than on direct drive wheels, of course.

On curbs, instead, it’s hard enough to keep you away from them.

Steering can be a bit light. This changes from game to game, and in fact, the results are different even from F1 24 to WRC, proving a great deal of versatility. 

But at first glance, with default settings, this makes it more suitable for sports racing than street racing, like the most recent Assetto Corsa Evo.

Along with the steering wheel, I also tested the Logitech Driving Force Shifter. It’s meant to be purchased separately, at a list price of £54.99, but it’s the perfect complement to the G923.

Shifting gears has a credible weight to it, and the device, despite a shorter lever and smaller knob, is very realistic. The quality of the leather materials is really good, too.

The only downside is that the clamps often don’t keep it fixed to the table when you shift gears, which can be rather annoying in the heat of the moment.

The experience itself is a revelation. Using the H-pattern shifter completely changes how you look at racing games, bringing you much closer to how cars are actually driven.

That’s especially true in rally games, where you need to keep one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gearshift at the start. 

After a learning curve of very few minutes, it’ll be very hard to go back. 

Officially priced at £379.99, but now often found on sale, the Logitech G923 Trueforce still represents the ideal entry point into the world of steering wheels.

I’m feeling so down since my online match ghosted me

Woman sitting on a sofa and looking at mobile phone screen at home.

DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER years of being single and lonely, I was over the moon when I finally connected with a man online. 

Our conversations flowed effortlessly, and I was so excited to meet up with him, but now he takes ages to reply to me and I’m feeling beside myself.

I’m 42, he’s 45, and we matched on Plenty of Fish. We hit it off straight away and quickly started texting daily. 

Every day I’d be on the edge of my seat waiting for his replies, and I’d be lying if I said my feelings weren’t developing. 

I couldn’t help myself from getting excited as he told me about all the dates he wanted to take me on, and I was counting down the days until we met. 

Then last week his replies got slower and slower until he eventually messaged to cancel our dinner plans and ghosted me. 

Now I’m feeling so disappointed and down. I keep rereading our conversations over and over again to find out what went wrong, and it’s eating away at me.

IN-LAW ISSUES

When I proposed to my wife, I didn’t expect to be married to her parents too

DEIDRE'S STORIES

Ian grows suspicious of his girlfriend

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s normal to get your hopes up and start imagining all the possibilities when you like someone, so it’s understandable you’re feeling disappointed.

As painful as it may be, instead of trying to find a reason as to why things changed, instead try to focus on what his behaviour says about him.

If he doesn’t have the emotional maturity or grace to explain himself to you, then he’s shown what type of partner he would have been. 

My support pack Love Online will help you navigate things going forward.

I’m worried what my narcissistic daughter-in-law will do now she’s pregnant

A serious family having a stressful conversation at home.
Young serious couple has a family stressful conversation at home

DEAR DEIDRE: MY daughter-in-law is the most conniving and narcissistic woman I’ve ever met, and now that she’s pregnant, I’m sick with worry that my unborn grandchild will become a chess piece in her selfish games.

I’m 65, my son is 34, and his wife is 32. They’ve been together for three years, and it’s safe to say it’s been a complete nightmare.

From the moment they met, she’s been intent on isolating him and turning him against his entire family.

At the beginning we tried so hard to make her feel welcome and accepted.

My wife took her out for lunch, we bought her thoughtful gifts for Christmas and birthdays, and we even went as far as inviting her on our family holidays. 

Yet all she’s done is repeatedly throw our kindness back in our faces.

From being outright rude and making snarky remarks to manipulating situations to make our son think badly of us, she’s gone above and beyond to cause trouble in our family. 

We’ve tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but as time passes, the more distant our son becomes, and it’s clear she’s the root of the problem.

Now she’s pregnant, I’m feeling a mix of conflicting emotions. While I can’t wait to be a grandfather and see my son become a dad, I’m worried.

AT A LOSS

How do I support my terminally ill daughter when she's pushing everyone away?

DEIDRE'S STORIES

Ian grows suspicious of his girlfriend

DEIDRE SAYS: As hard as it is to accept, unfortunately you can’t do anything about your son and his relationship. 

He is an adult, and he has to decide what is right for him and his growing family. All you can do is continue to do as you have been by offering kindness and support. 

You could have a talk and mention that you’ve noticed he’s distant. Ask him if anything is worrying him and let him know you will always support him no matter what.

Avoid criticising your daughter-in-law though as this would make him feel conflicted and is likely to push him further away.
