Product Description:
Simulator-grade force feedback. Rock-solid 900 degree steering. Six-speed shifter. With the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel, you're not playing games anymore - you're racing! The 28cm (11") leather-covered wheel has a stainless steel frame for superior rigidity. The dual-motor force feedback mechanism sports two sets of steel ball bearings for smooth, tight steering and superior force effects. Precision stainless steel accelerator, brake and clutch pedals let you elevate your driving to an art form. Components can be bolted down for exceptional sturdiness - Now it's not the wheel's fault if you don't win.

 Best for the price, 2008-07-16
I bought my G25 in February 08 and have been using it very frequently since then. The games I play with the G25 are GTR2, RACE 07, Live for Speed, and most recently Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on the PS3.
The wheel itself is great, and although it only has four buttons (including the paddle shifters) there are a lot of buttons on the shifter.
The pedals are equally solid. Some reviewers have commented that the brakes are not realistic. The simple fact is that threshold braking is always going to be harder because you're not in a real car. There's no g-force to give you a sense of how hard you're braking. There's no "feel". For what it is, the brake pedal provides great resistance so threshold braking is as realistic as it can get. The clutch requires minimal effort and is very short. You won't confuse it with a real car's clutch. When properly supported, it's very realistic. You obviously can't feel it bite, but in Live For Speed it's easy to hold the car on a hill using the clutch (although why you would do this is beyond me). It's not an on-off switch. Unfortunately Live For Speed is the only game with proper clutch support that I have played. Gran Turismo is the worst, with it being very much on/off.
Compared to a real car pedal placement is a bit lousy for heel and toeing because the accelerator is close to the brake pedal even though it's spaced farther than the brake pedal is to the clutch. Still, you get used to it and once you know where to place your foot it's as easy as it is in a real car.
The real issue comes with the shifter. Very minimal effort is required to shift, and combined with very short throws means it feels toy-like. It can be flicked into place with a finger. It doesn't feel satisfying when the gears slot into place. Still, it works and is apparently quite durable even though it feels flimsy. It still works even though I get a bit "spirited" with it when I'm immerssed in a race. Still, this is nit-picking to be honest. I have to mention that it's poorly made, but I wouldn't return it for my money if given the chance. The bottom line is that when driving I enjoy myself much more than I did with paddles and auto-clutch.
This might seem like a lot of money for a wheel, but when you consider what you get when you pay for your money compared to other wheels it's a great product. The force feedback is excellent, the wheel itself is nice and large with 900 degrees of rotation (2.5 turns lock to lock), the paddles are more solid than on some cars, and the pedals are the best there is. The six speed shifter isn't really a big deal.
