On both PC and PS4, navigating in-game menus from the wheel itself was a breeze, although you should be prepared for a bit more initial button configuration on the PC side - at least, that was my experience when trying older games such as Grid. Crashing into walls was a suitably violent experience. In Project Cars, for example, I was able to feel when I'd driven up on a curb, although I occasionally didn't feel any feedback when grazing on some flat rumble strips. The feedback and vibration are stout without venturing into break-your-wrist territory. The wheel's small-ish diameter might not match the dimensions of some real-life performance vehicles, but it has a satisfying thickness and is comfortable to grip from any angle.

In-game, the G29 offers a significant upgrade over the standard DualShock 4 controller. For what it's worth, Logitech says older versions of the shifter module will work on the G29 - so your G27 setup may not be completely obsolete. It's interesting that, despite retailing for $100 more than the G27 (which included a similar attachment in the box), the leather-wrapped shifter here is a $60 extra. While it's not included in the base setup, there is a spot on the underside to connect an optional six-speed gated shifter. As with most racing wheels, all the connections are routed to the wheel housing and a built-in cable spool helps you manage the tangle of wires coming from the pedals, power brick and the hardwired USB cord. The G29 also plays nice with Fanatec's Wheel Stand and I was able to clamp the wheel and attach the pedal base in just a few minutes with a single Allen key. With the strip in place, the pedals stayed put through the vast majority of my playtime, but keeping a foot or your heels planted on the base definitely provides additional stabilization. Meanwhile, the pedal base has a handy gripper strip: a retractable ribbon of spiky plastic that digs into your carpet to help keep the unit stable while you furiously stomp on it. In that latter configuration, you get about 2.25 inches of clearance, which was enough for me to easily attach the G29 to my computer desk. For thicker surfaces, though, you can snap off a pair of nubs to change the clamps from a "C" to an "L" shape. As shipped, the two nylon claws have a "C" shape to them - handy for attaching to tables or desks with a bit of a lip. Installation is a breeze thanks to the G29's integrated table clamp. I could do with a little more spacing between the clutch and the brake, but it's not a dealbreaker by any stretch.

There's a wide plastic platform to rest your left foot - or just your heels, if you race with both feet handling the controls. All three have a satisfying range of motion, with the brake offering the stiffest resistance. Down below, stainless steel covers the similarly shaped clutch and brake pedals, as well as the skinnier, taller accelerator. The leather-wrapped steering wheel surrounds aluminum spokes, while stainless steel paddle shifters are within easy reach of your fingers.

Plastic dominates the casing for both the wheel and three-pedal base, but Logitech went with higher-end materials for where your hands and feet will most often touch the G29.

As the name suggests, the layout strongly resembles the company's Driving Force line - a popular option that's been closely associated with the Gran Turismo series of racing games in the past. The biggest visual differences (aside from the blue highlights here and there) are PlayStation-specific controls arranged around the steering column on sharp-angled surfaces - as though Logitech clamped a Batarang onto a G27. The G29's exterior doesn't stray far from the line's previous designs the wheel's housing still resembles the front end of a fifth-gen Ford Mustang, just like the G27 and G25 before it.
