as the title says i am in the market for a steering wheel with force feedback but atm i can not decide whether i want to go with a thrustmaster wheel or a logitech g29. i am thinkin of going with the thrustmaster TMX pro since it is cheaper than the logitech g29 but i cant find anything which really tells me which will be better. i will be using the wheel for games like dort 4 and dirt rally and even American Truck simulator and Euro Truck simulator 2. so if someone has experience with these wheels or can suggest a better wheel i will take any advice until i finally walk into the store with the money and walk out with the wheel
 
I have been playing with a Logitech driving force GT for a long time. I play racing games, aswell as a lot of ATS and ETS2. I have always considered the G29, however, considering I spent most time on ETS2, having a clutch and a shifter is not really needed, as most trucks have too many gears for any gaming wheel set anyway, without complicated shifter layouts. I have had this set since for 8 years now, and still it works really well. I am unsure for availability though. If you want to choose between the thrustmaster and the Logitech, I would go for Logitech, as most products I got from them are still working correctly to this day, and my thrustmaster gear all broke pretty quickly. I am biased though :)
 
decided to buy the Thrustmaster TMX the other day as it was on sale at a good price and I gotta say I don't regret purchasing it one bit, Force FeedBack is amazing, love the metal paddle shifters, the 900 degrees rotation is so amazing and accurate, I got the tmx with the 2 pedals (brake and Gas) and yeah it aint got the clutch but it feels like i am actually driving a real car with the sensitivity and you rarely hear the wheel or pedals unless you are driving a subaru in 6th gear in aussie land at over 150km/h in dirt 4 while the wheel is trying to go left and you want to go right, just make sure you got a sturdy desk and not a glass desk as the vibrations and fighting the wheel when trying to counter the forces from the force feedback can get intense. only things you require in terms of plugs/cables is a multiplug for all the different plugs for your pc and stuff so that the wheel can get power (i have the standard SA 2 point plug) and ONE usb port on your pc as the pedels, h shifter & sequential shifter (sequential might need a usb port not sure but not the h shifter but keep in mind i don't own either as i am poor now and need money for them) plug directly into the wheel
 
I used a modified wheel for my way. I used a Saitek Proflight Yoke as my steering wheel. Since I just used the axis of the controller. Umm I have hear there are a lot of thrust masters, logitech and more out there.
