Logitech G923 review: $349.99 for TrueForce on the same 2.3 Nm gears

The Logitech G923 is one $349.99 listing on Logitech’s US store with a console switch on it. Order the PS5 /PlayStation /PC option and you get SKU 941-000147; order the XBOX Series X|S /XBOX One/PC option and you get SKU 941-000156. Both boxes hold the wheel, a three-pedal set with a clutch, a power supply, and documentation, and both wheels clamp to a desk on a built-in clamping system with extenders in the box, so $349.99 is the whole cost of a setup you can drive.

The $50 over a G29 or G920 buys TrueForce. On the specifications Logitech publishes the two otherwise match: 900 degrees of rotation, a “Dual-motor force feedback; helical gearing” drivetrain, a 2.25 kg wheel and a 3.10 kg pedal unit, the same wheel and pedal dimensions to the millimeter, and a “Nonlinear brake pedal” row on both store spec tabs. Where the two listings part is marketing copy with no specification behind it.

Drive type	Dual-motor force feedback through helical gearing, per both Logitech spec sheets. The store's spec tab reads "Dual-Motor Force Feedback with TRUEFORCE"
Torque	The store subtitle reads "2.3 Nm with TRUEFORCE Racing System"; neither spec sheet states a torque figure, peak or holding
Price	$349.99 for either console configuration (US store, checked 28 July 2026). That is also the functional, complete-controls, and desk-ready price, because the box holds a usable wheel, a throttle and brake, and the clamp. Tax, shipping, and store promotions excluded
Platforms	PlayStation SKU: PlayStation 5, 4, 3 and PC. Xbox SKU: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. Fixed at purchase
Rotation	900 degrees (Max)
In the box	Steering wheel, pedals, power supply, user documentation
Mounting	Built-in clamping system with included clamp extenders, plus bolt points taking two M6X1 screws under the wheel and six under the pedal unit
Software	Logitech G HUB (PC). No G HUB on console
Warranty	2-Year Limited Hardware Warranty, stated on the store listing rather than on either spec sheet
Best for	A first wheel on one console, where the titles you race are on Logitech's TrueForce list

Which one is yours

Logitech splits the G923 by console the same way it splits the G29 and G920, and there is no adapter, no firmware switch, and no second license to buy. The console you race on decides the SKU, and PC is the only platform on both sides.

Past the console, the two support spec sheets disagree, mostly about what they list rather than about the hardware. Every row below is quoted from the sheet for that model, checked 28 July 2026, apart from the store rows and the TrueForce counts, which name their own source.

	G923 (PlayStation)	G923 (Xbox)
Store SKU	941-000147	941-000156
Store subtitle for that SKU	”2.3 Nm with TRUEFORCE Racing System"	"TRUEFORCE Racing wheel for Xbox, PlayStation and PC”
Wheel model number	W-U0006	W-U0007
Consoles	Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation 5	Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One
Windows	Windows 10, Windows 11	Windows 10, Windows 11
macOS	”Mac OS X 10.10.x or later (G HUB on Mac is used only to update Firmware)“	Not listed
Indicator lights	RPM/Shift Indicator LEDs	Power/Status
Face buttons	Square, Triangle, Circle, X	X, Y, A, B
Paddles	L1 / R1	LB / RB
Other controls	L2 / R2, R2 / R3, + / -, 24-point Selection Dial, Enter, PS, SHARE, OPTION	LSB / RSB, Xbox, View, Menu

TrueForce titles on Logitech’s list	14	9

The Xbox sheet’s control row is shorter than the Xbox rim. Logitech’s first gallery photograph for that SKU, g923-xbox-gallery-1.png on the same listing, shows a + / - rocker under the LSB label and a knurled selection dial with an Enter button at its center, alongside the D-pad, X/Y/A/B, RSB, View, Menu, and Xbox controls the sheet does name. Read the Xbox Special Buttons row as an incomplete list rather than a shorter control set.

Two rows print oddities that are Logitech’s own. The PlayStation sheet’s button list prints L2 / R2 and R2 / R3 as separate lines, so R2 appears twice and no L3 appears at all. And the Xbox SKU’s store subtitle reads “TRUEFORCE Racing wheel for Xbox, PlayStation and PC” while the option it is sold under is labeled XBOX Series X|S /XBOX One/PC, so the subtitle claims a console the platform label does not.

The dial is the row to weigh, and both SKUs have one. The Selection Dial and the + / - pair give in-car adjustment on the rim, which is brake bias, traction control, and engine map in iRacing and ACC without reaching for the keyboard, so neither buyer has to put those on a keybind or a button box. Only the PlayStation sheet lists them, and only it gives the dial 24 points; the Xbox gallery photograph shows a dial without showing its detent count.

The rev indicator is the part that stays open, and three Logitech pages pull against each other on it. The store sells both SKUs under one description whose feature blocks name a “24-point selection dial” and a “BUILT-IN REV INDICATOR” without saying which model has them. The Xbox spec sheet’s indicator-lights row reads Power/Status. And Logitech’s TrueForce page says that on Xbox wheels, “without it, features like RPM lights and extensive button mapping are limited”. Nothing Logitech publishes settles what the Xbox rim does with a rev indicator, so treat the sheet as the floor rather than the whole answer.

What TrueForce is, in Logitech’s words

TrueForce is a second data path into the same motors. The drivetrain, the rotation, and the 2.3 Nm figure are what the G29 and G920 already carry, and Logitech’s technology page states that TrueForce “goes beyond traditional force feedback by connecting directly to in-game physics and audio, processing data 4,000 times a second”, and that it “delivers two types of force feedback in perfect sync: kinesthetic feedback (larger forces from weight shifts and cornering) and vibrotactile feedback (high-frequency details from audio and in-game physics)”. The same page states a second rate for it, “just 1ms”, in a different block, and reconciles the two figures nowhere.

It reaches a game only where the developer built it in. Logitech says it works through a “proprietary SDK” and that it “is built into 20+ game titles and growing”, so a title that is not on the list runs the G923 as an ordinary force-feedback wheel.

The list itself is the number to shop on. Logitech’s compatibility list covers the G923, G29, and G920 together and marks the TrueForce titles with an asterisk reading “Compatible with TRUEFORCE on supported wheels”. Among those three, the store’s spec tab names TRUEFORCE only on the G923’s force-feedback row, so the asterisks are the G923’s list:

• PlayStation 5 and 4, 14 titles. Gran Turismo 7, Gran Turismo Sport, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Dirt Rally 2.0, EA Sports WRC, F1 23, F1 24, F1 25, GRID (2019), Project Cars 3, Snowrunner, Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game, Monster Truck Championship, and Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown.
• Xbox, 9 titles. Assetto Corsa Competizione, Dirt Rally 2.0, F1 24, F1 25, Forza Motorsport (2023), GRID (2019), Snowrunner, Monster Truck Championship, and Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Logitech heads that column “XBOX ONE”, with no separate Series X|S column, while the Xbox spec sheet’s platform row names both generations.
• PC, 19 titles. iRacing, Automobilista 2, BeamNG Drive, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Dirt Rally 2.0, EA Sports WRC, Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game, F1 22 through F1 25, Forza Motorsport (2023), GRID (2019), Monster Truck Championship, Project Cars 3, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, WRC 10, WRC Generations, and one entry printed as “Richard Burns Rally and Snowrunner”.

Two entries there decide most of the purchase. Gran Turismo 7 carries TrueForce and is the reason to pay the $50 on PlayStation. iRacing carries it on PC and nowhere else, because iRacing is not on console at all. On Xbox, Forza Motorsport is the one flagship on the list and Forza Horizon 5 is not.

What Logitech never states

Three questions a buyer asks are unanswered on every Logitech page read for this review:

• Peak torque. “2.3 Nm with TRUEFORCE Racing System” is a subtitle on a shop page rather than a spec row, and Logitech never says whether it is peak or sustained. Neither spec sheet carries a torque line.
• How the brake is sensed. The sheets name three pedals over a DB9 (Male) connector and stop there. The store Description, identical on both SKUs, states it flat: “The premium build features aluminum paddle shifters, a hand-stitched leather wheel, and a pressure-sensitive brake system.” The feature block further down the same listing qualifies that to a “Progressive brake pedal” whose “progressive spring mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake system”, and the spec tab’s row reads “Nonlinear brake pedal”. A spring that mimics pressure is a shape of response rather than a sensor, so the Description names a behavior and not a sensing method, and the G29/G920 listing describes its own brake in nearly the same sentence. Nothing on either listing states a load cell. Pedal troubleshooting collects the owner reports of the potentiometer failure on these pedals, which Logitech’s own Racing Adapter listing groups as one family, “G25/G27/G29/G920/G923 pedals”.
• What changed against the G29 and G920 beyond TrueForce. The store copy claims a “new colorway, premium brushed metal, automotive-style leather stitching, and polished pedals”. The two materials tables read the same for the spokes, the shaft, the paddles, the clamps, and the pedal frames, and the one row that differs is an absence: the G29/G920 table gives pedal faces as brushed stainless steel and the G923 table carries no pedal-faces row at all. No published specification supports the finish claims.

Logitech’s catalog also holds a third G923 support entry, “G923 Wheel and Pedals for PC”, with its own specification page. That sheet gives the Xbox wheel’s model number W-U0007 and its PC-mode USB ID VID_046D&PID_C26E, lists Windows only, and lists “Directional Pad” as the entire special-button row. Its product page redirects to a Logitech sign-in, and the US store’s racing wheels category carried no PC-only G923 card on 28 July 2026, so the entry exists in support and nowhere a US buyer can order it.

Who it’s for

A driver on one console who wants a complete setup at one price and races titles that carry TrueForce.

Buy it if:

• Your titles are on the TrueForce list for your platform. Gran Turismo 7 on PlayStation and iRacing on PC are the two that most often justify the $50 on their own.
• You want a clutch pedal for a manual car without adding a third-pedal SKU, in BeamNG or a road car in Assetto Corsa. BeamNG Drive is on the PC TrueForce list as well.
• You are on Xbox and want a wheel that works today. Xbox licensing lives in the rim across the industry, which is why the Xbox shelf is short. See console sim racing for the whole fork.

Not the one if you already know you want direct drive (start at the Moza R3 at $299 on PC or the Thrustmaster T598 for PlayStation, or for Xbox on its Xbox & PC configuration), or if your budget can reach a load-cell brake, which moves lap times more than a haptic channel does.

Watch-outs

• The console choice is permanent. No adapter in Logitech’s catalog moves a PlayStation G923 to Xbox or the reverse. If you own both consoles, the wheel only follows you on PC.
• Nine titles on the Xbox column carry TrueForce. The headline feature is the reason for the price, and Xbox is where Logitech’s own list is thinnest. Check your titles against it before paying over a G920.
• The Xbox sheet is incomplete. Its Special Buttons row omits the selection dial, the + / - pair, and Enter, and Logitech’s own Xbox gallery photograph shows all three on the rim, so the sheet is a floor on the controls rather than the list of them. The shift LEDs are what it leaves open: its indicator-lights row reads Power/Status against RPM/Shift Indicator LEDs on the PlayStation sheet, and no Logitech page settles what the Xbox rim does with a rev indicator.
• Gears are still the ceiling. Both spec sheets give the drivetrain as “Dual-motor force feedback; helical gearing”, and a gear train has backlash: the play between the teeth has to be taken up before a small force reaches the rim. TrueForce adds a channel on top of that drivetrain and removes none of it. The settings guide covers the one lever that helps, in-sim Min Force, and treats the G923 as the same tuning problem as a G29.
• The brake reads travel. You hit a pedal distance rather than a pressure target, so brake points are harder to repeat lap after lap. Pedal calibration and tuning covers why, and the pedal buying guide covers the load-cell sets that fix it.
• Logitech marks no generation. Its racing wheels category carried both G923 cards on 28 July 2026 next to the G920/G29 card and the RS line, with nothing labeling any of them current or superseded. The catalog settles nothing about where this sits in a lifecycle.

What you can bolt on later

Logitech names three paid paths from its own pages, and all three keep hardware you already own:

• Driving Force Shifter, $59.99, SKU 941-000119. A 6-speed H-pattern with reverse that Logitech says to pair with “compatible G923, G29, and G920 wheel and pedals”. Its card in the racing wheels category is titled for the G29 and G920 alone, so the product page is the wording to trust. On 28 July 2026 the store also ran a promotion giving this shifter free with either the G923 or the G920/G29 under coupon code F-SHIFT, which applies to both wheels and so moves neither side of the $50.
• Racing Adapter, $39.99, SKU 943-000435. Logitech frames it two ways: “Upgrade to a Direct Drive base with ease all while keeping your existing G Series Pedals and Driving Force Shifter”, compatible with “G25/G27/G29/G920/G923 pedals”, and “Stick with your G Series wheel and upgrade to pedals with Load Cell brake technology”, compatible with “G25/G27/G29/G920/G923 Wheels”.
• RS H-Shifter. Logitech’s support answer is that it “works with the G-series wheels”, over USB on PC with “all seven forward gears and reverse available”, and on console only through the Racing Adapter and only at “six forward gears and reverse in this configuration, because the G-series wheels only support a shifter with six gears plus reverse”.

The Racing Adapter is the interesting one, because it turns the usual advice into a purchase you can actually make: keep the G923 rim and put load-cell pedals under it, which is the upgrade the upgrade order guide puts first. On console it is also a constraint to read first: Logitech’s own table of games supporting an RS Shifter and Handbrake through the adapter marks Assetto Corsa Competizione unsupported on both consoles, and Gran Turismo 7 unsupported on PlayStation with an NA in its Xbox column.

Alternatives to consider

• Logitech G29 and G920: $299.99, the same 2.3 Nm gear drive, the same three pedals, the same clamp, with the plain “2.3 Nm Racing System” subtitle and no TrueForce.
• Moza R3: $299 for a genuine 3.9Nm direct drive with wheel and pedals, PC only unless you take the Xbox & PC configuration. Less money, no gear lash, no TrueForce and no PlayStation.
• Thrustmaster T598: a 5Nm direct-drive system at a step up in price, for PlayStation and PC unless you take the Xbox & PC configuration, if PS5 is the reason you were looking at a G923.
• Logitech RS50: Logitech’s first true direct drive at 8Nm with TrueForce on it, base only from about $349.99, so budget for a hub and a rim on top. This is the route to TrueForce without a gearset.

If your titles are not on the TrueForce list, buy the G29 or G920 and put the $50 toward a load-cell brake. Braking consistency is what a travel pedal costs you, and it is the part of this setup that limits lap time first.
