The Logitech G27 is an electronic steering wheel designed for Sim racing video games on the PC, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. It uses a USB interface, and is based upon the previous G25, with some new features including the use of helical gearing instead of the previous straight gears used on the G25. As of December 2015, the Logitech G27 is no longer sold by Logitech, in favor of the newer G920 and G29 steering wheels now offered by Logitech.

  • Clutch. (medium spring)
  • A carpet grip which keeps the pedals in position while playing.
