Logitech G RS Round Wheel review: a $70 round rim for the RS hub
Researched overview Manufacturer listings and owner reports, with no hands-on testing.
The RS Round Wheel is a $69.99 round rim with zero inputs of its own: a 290mm circle of aluminum and silicone-leather that bolts to the separate Logitech G RS Wheel Hub. Logitech’s System Requirements for it are one line, “Secured onto RS Wheel Hub”, and that hub is $149.99 in its PC option, so the rim costs $219.98 to anyone who does not already own one. Every button, dial, and paddle lives on the hub, which makes this the cheap way to add a round profile to a Logitech RS or G Pro setup you already run. Unbolt the old rim, bolt this one on, and you keep the same buttons and the same base.
| Type | Round steering wheel rim (rim only; all electronics live on the separate RS Wheel Hub) |
|---|---|
| Rim | 290mm; low-carbon aluminum core and brushed-aluminum faceplate, wrapped in smooth synthetic silicone-leather |
| Inputs | None on the rim. The RS Wheel Hub it mounts to carries 15 face inputs (buttons plus rotary encoders), two rear metal paddle shifters, and a directional funky switch. No dual-clutch paddles. |
| Display | None on the rim. The diffused LIGHTSYNC RGB rev-light strip lives on the RS Wheel Hub. No integrated screen. |
| Connectivity | Passive rim, no electronics and no USB. Bolts to the RS Wheel Hub, using bolts and a hex key that ship with the hub rather than with the rim. The hub carries the quick release onto a Logitech G Direct Drive base (RS50 / Pro) or the G Pro Racing Wheel. Logitech-only. |
| Price | $69.99 rim only; $219.98 with the $149.99 RS Wheel Hub the rim requires |
| Best for | Logitech RS/G Pro owners who want an affordable round rim for rally, drifting, and road cars |
Who it’s for
Section titled “Who it’s for”A Logitech RS or G Pro owner who already has the RS Wheel Hub and wants a round rim for rally, drift, and everyday road cars.
Buy it if:
- You already run the RS Wheel Hub on a Logitech Direct Drive base and want to add a round profile.
- You drive rally, drift, or road cars and want hand-over-hand rotation a formula or GT rim fights you on.
- You want to swap rims in seconds without re-buying buttons or a base.
Not the one if you don’t already own the hub and base (a self-contained round wheel like the MOZA ESX costs less to start), or you want buttons and a quick release on the rim itself (build a hub-and-rim from the Fanatec ClubSport Universal Hub V2).
Build and feel
Section titled “Build and feel”Round and 290mm. The full round profile is the point: hands slide around it for the fast hand-over-hand corrections rally, drift, and road driving demand, where a flat-bottom GT or formula rim makes you re-grip mid-rotation. At 290mm the diameter is comfortable on a desk and quick to whip, though it gives up some leverage to a larger wheel.
Aluminum under silicone-leather. A low-carbon aluminum core and a brushed-aluminum faceplate carry the load, wrapped in a smooth synthetic silicone-leather. The wrap is a smooth synthetic skin rather than a napped fabric, so it wipes clean and gives less bite than a stitched-suede GT rim. For ~$70 the metal core is more than the price suggests.
The bolts come with the hub. Logitech ships the fasteners with the hub instead of the rim. The rim’s own feature copy reads “Swap between RS Round Wheel and other suitable wheels for the RS Wheel Hub. Bolts & Hex Key included with RS Wheel Hub.” Its box list is a steering wheel and a documentation sheet. Unbolt one rim, bolt on the next, and the hub keeps the buttons and the LIGHTSYNC strip. You re-buy nothing but the rim.
Watch-outs
Section titled “Watch-outs”- A rim, not a wheel. It has zero inputs and does nothing on its own. Logitech gives its System Requirements as one line, “Secured onto RS Wheel Hub”, and that hub is $149.99 in its PC option and $189.99 in its XBOX/PC option, which puts the pair at $219.98 or $259.98 before a Logitech G Direct Drive base or a G Pro Racing Wheel goes under it. Both hub SKUs,
941-000248and941-000247, read out of stock on Logitech’s US store on 1 August 2026, so the part this rim needs was listed and unsold that day. - 290mm runs small for the job. Dedicated rally and drift drivers often want a 320mm+ round wheel for more leverage and a more authentic feel. The smaller circle trades that away for desk friendliness.
- No display, no dual-clutch. The rev lights and every control sit on the hub, and the RS Wheel Hub dropped the dual-clutch paddles, so this combo has none. If you launch-clutch in formula cars, that matters.
- Logitech-only. No cross-brand adapter and no own-USB option. It commits you to the Logitech RS/G Pro ecosystem.
Alternatives to consider
Section titled “Alternatives to consider”- MOZA ESX: a ~$129 round wheel with buttons, paddles, and an Xbox chip built in, for MOZA bases. The self-contained pick if you don’t already own a hub.
- Asetek La Prima GT: a ~$435 round Comfort+ rim paired with a GT button box, if you want a round profile with real controls and a step up in materials.
- Fanatec ClubSport Universal Hub V2: ~$370 with QR2, the same idea one ecosystem over. It bolts your own round rim to a hub full of buttons, and it needs a Fanatec base under it rather than a Logitech one.
- Simagic GT Neo: a ~$289 GT wheel if you decide a flat-bottom rim with an integrated screen suits more of your driving than a round rim does.
Add the RS Wheel Hub and a Logitech RS50 base first, then read quick-release and cross-brand compatibility to see exactly what the Logitech-only mount locks you into.

One label answers for all three platforms, so each answer below quotes it too.

- How it connects
- Only through a wheelbase or hub“Secured onto RS Wheel Hub” “Attaches to the RS Wheel Hub.” “Steering Wheel for RS Wheel Hub” “Swap between RS Round Wheel and other suitable wheels for the RS Wheel Hub. Bolts & Hex Key included with RS Wheel Hub.”Logitech G’s own listing, checked August 2026.The first line is the whole of the listing's System Requirements, the second closes the lead feature copy titled “Control the curve”, the third is Logitech's own subtitle for the product, and the fourth is a feature description. The hub is a purchase of its own, this $69.99 buys none of it, and Logitech names no other way to use the rim. The fourth line also settles who ships the fasteners: the rim's own package contents are “Steering Wheel” and “IID”, with no bolt and no key among them.
The label is the only platform statement on the listing, and it is a statement about a rim: what Logitech requires beside it is the RS Wheel Hub, so none of the three is reached by this purchase alone. Which platforms the pair reaches is a fact about the hub, which is its own product and needs its own record.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Logitech G RS Round Wheel work on its own?
No. It is a bare rim with zero inputs, and the whole of Logitech's System Requirements entry for it is one line, "Secured onto RS Wheel Hub". That hub is a separate purchase at $149.99 in its PC option and $189.99 in its XBOX/PC option, so rim plus hub is $219.98 or $259.98, and the hub then mounts on a Logitech G Direct Drive base such as the Logitech RS50 or on the G Pro Racing Wheel. Budget for all three before you buy the rim by itself. Prices read from Logitech's US store on 1 August 2026.
What size is the Logitech G RS Round Wheel?
290mm. A low-carbon aluminum core and a brushed-aluminum faceplate sit under a smooth synthetic silicone-leather wrap. No suede, no real leather, and no display on the rim.
Will the RS Round Wheel fit my wheelbase?
Only Logitech. It bolts to the RS Wheel Hub, and the hub is what carries the quick release: Logitech's copy for it reads "use the quick release to attach to any compatible Logitech G Direct Drive base", which means an RS50 or a Pro base, or the G Pro Racing Wheel. There is no cross-brand adapter and the rim has no USB of its own. See quick-release and cross-brand compatibility.
RS Round Wheel or MOZA ESX?
Different ecosystems. The RS Round Wheel is a ~$70 bare rim for Logitech RS/G Pro owners who already run the RS Wheel Hub. The MOZA ESX is a ~$129 round wheel with buttons and an Xbox chip built in, made for MOZA bases. Match the rim to the base you own.
