Logitech G29 Steering Wheel on Forza
/The gear lever is worth the extra cash
The Logitech G29 steering wheel is a good option if you fancy a bit of force feedback with your digital driving. It frequently pops up heavily discounted. The PlayStation version works with Gran Turismo but also with the Forza games on your PC. The only problem I’ve had with it is that the buttons are a bit hard to understand. The game asks you to press buttons and you have no idea which one does what. I’ve spent a while fiddling with it and made this little map.

The left-most column is the button number as far as the steering wheel device is concerned. The label tells you which button it is on the wheel. The “In game mapping” column gives the button numbers in Forza and finally the right hand column gives you notes for useful in-game functions.
I’ve used the G Hub application to map two steering wheel buttons to ESC and ENTER, so that I can use the wheel without needing a keyboard.
