Logitech G RS Wheel Hub review: $149.99 for the controls, $40 more for Xbox
Researched overview Manufacturer listings and owner reports, with no hands-on testing.
The RS Wheel Hub is the $149.99 middle of a three-part Logitech stack, and it is the part that carries the quick release. A Logitech direct-drive base goes under it, one of the five rims Logitech names bolts to the front, and the hub holds the gear shifters, the rev-light strip, and the controls between them. Logitech sells it in two options, $149.99 on PC as SKU 941-000248 and $189.99 as 941-000247 with the Xbox license, and the $40 between them buys one console and nothing else. Its own box list is the hub, bolts, a hex key, a sticker sheet, and documentation, so both figures are the price of a part rather than of a wheel.
| Type | Wheel hub (controls and quick release; no rim in the box and no base) |
|---|---|
| Controls | Width-adjustable gear shifters that can be removed entirely, and a LIGHTSYNC RGB rev-light strip configured in G HUB. Logitech publishes no button, encoder, or paddle count on the listing. |
| Quick release | Integrated. Logitech's copy is "use the quick release to attach to any compatible Logitech G Direct Drive base", and the rim side is bolted: the box carries the bolts and the hex key the rims do not. |
| Rims it takes | Five, named by Logitech across two surfaces. Its own requirement group holds four: RS Track Wheel, RS Round Wheel, MOMO x Logitech SIM GT 320, MOMO x Logitech SIM GT Racer 290. The RS Formula Wheel McLaren Racing Edition names the hub from its own listing instead. No bolt pattern published and no adapter named. |
| Connectivity | Through the base only. "USB" appears nowhere on the listing, and Logitech names no way to use the hub off a Logitech direct-drive base. |
| Platforms | Windows 10/11 on both options. Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on the XBOX/PC option only. PlayStation 5 and 4 on either option, through a PlayStation-compatible Logitech base. |
| Size and weight | 237mm wide, 152mm high, 120mm deep, 758g. Two-year limited hardware warranty. |
| Price | $149.99 PC; $189.99 XBOX/PC. $219.98 or $259.98 with the cheapest rim; $569.97 or $609.97 with the cheapest Logitech base under that. |
| Best for | Logitech RS or PRO base owners who want to swap rims, and Xbox players who need the license this box carries |
Who it’s for
Section titled “Who it’s for”Somebody who already owns a Logitech direct-drive base, or is buying one, and wants more than one rim on it over time.
Buy it if:
- You run a Logitech direct-drive base and want to change rims without re-buying controls each time.
- You need Xbox, which lives in this part rather than in any Logitech base.
- You are building an RS50 setup piece by piece and want the XBOX/PC hub or the Track rim rather than the round one the pre-built System ships.
Not the one if you have no Logitech base and no plan to buy one, since nothing else in sim racing takes it, or if a PC-plus-round-rim build is all you want, where the RS50 System puts the same three parts in one box.
What each platform needs
Section titled “What each platform needs”Logitech splits its System Requirements into one group per SKU, and the two groups are how the platform question is actually answered.
Windows 10/11, on both options. Each group opens with the same line, so the PC answer does not depend on which hub you buy. Neither group names a USB port for the hub, because the hub has none: the port is on the base.
Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, on the $189.99 option only. The XBOX/PC group lists those consoles and the PC group does not, which puts the license in this box rather than in the base under it. Logitech’s bases invert this. The RS50 and the PRO DD11 each sell in a PC option and a PS/PC option and neither has an Xbox SKU, and the RS50’s own listing sends Xbox buyers here: “Want to race on all 3? Pair the RS50 Base (PlayStation/PC) with a Logitech G RS or Pro XBOX-compatible steering wheel.”
PlayStation 5 and 4, on either option, through the base. Both groups carry the same requirement word for word: “PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 (when connected to a Logitech Wheel base compatible with PlayStation - compatibility not tested nor endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment)”. So the PlayStation is never in the hub, and buying the dearer hub does not buy it.
Which base, a $250 disagreement. Logitech’s own listing takes three positions on it. The requirement line above asks for any PlayStation-compatible Logitech base, which the $449.99 PS/PC RS50 satisfies. The disclaimer Logitech appends to its “One hub, multiple wheels” block reads “*PLAYSTATION COMPATIBILITY REQUIRES PRO RACING WHEEL/BASE FOR PLAYSTATION/PC”, which the RS50 is not. A third surface, the listing’s own “Playstation Compatibility” panel, takes the broad side and says “Both versions of the Wheel Hub work on PlayStation, provided you have a wheel base that is compatible with PlayStation”, over a product set holding the RS50 Base and the PRO DD11 Wheel Base. On the broad reading the cheapest build that reaches all three machines is the $189.99 XBOX/PC hub, a $69.99 rim, and the $449.99 PS/PC RS50, at $709.97. On the narrow one it is the same hub and rim on the $699.99 PS/PC PRO DD11, at $959.97. Ask Logitech before you spend the difference.
Five rims, and Logitech prices three of them
Section titled “Five rims, and Logitech prices three of them”One requirement group on the hub’s listing, headed “Compatible Steering Wheels with PRO Racing Base”, holds exactly four entries: the RS Track Wheel, the RS Round Wheel, the MOMO x Logitech SIM GT 320, and the MOMO x Logitech SIM GT Racer 290. All four listings name the hub back, so those four pairings are stated from both ends.
A fifth rim is stated from one end only. The RS Formula Wheel McLaren Racing Edition gives its whole requirement as “Requires RS Wheel Hub or RS QR Adapter”, and the group above does not list it, checked 2 August 2026.
Three of the five are sold. The two RS rims are $69.99 regular on Logitech’s US store, with the Track rim at a $49.99 sale price on 2 August 2026, and both ship a steering wheel and a documentation sheet and nothing else. The McLaren rim is $129.99 regular with no sale against it. The two MOMO wheels have product pages with specs and no price, no cart button, and a store status of “marketing only” on the same date, so a US buyer picking rims for this hub is picking between three.
The bolts are in this box rather than in the rim’s. The RS Round Wheel’s own feature copy says so: “Swap between RS Round Wheel and other suitable wheels for the RS Wheel Hub. Bolts & Hex Key included with RS Wheel Hub.” Buy the hub once, and each rim after it costs the rim alone, $69.99 for either RS rim and $129.99 for the McLaren one. None of the three ships a fastener: the RS rims’ box lists are a steering wheel and a documentation sheet, and the McLaren rim’s listing names no bolt and no hex key anywhere on it.
Watch-outs
Section titled “Watch-outs”- Both SKUs read out of stock.
941-000248and941-000247both showed zero units on Logitech’s US store on 1 August 2026, under a rendered “Sold Out Temporarily” and a disabled “Notify me” button.941-000247had 13 units the day before, so this moves. Every rim and base the hub needs was orderable the same day. - Logitech publishes no input count. The listing names the gear shifters and the rev lights and gives no number for buttons, encoders, or paddles anywhere on the page. What it does state is that the shifters adjust for width or come off entirely.
- A part, not a wheel. $149.99 buys neither a rim nor a base, and the full PC build is $569.97 with the cheapest of each. Price the stack before the part.
- Logitech-only in both directions. No USB of its own, no adapter to another brand’s base, and no bolt pattern published for a rim outside the five Logitech names. See rims and quick-releases for what that locks out.
Alternatives to consider
Section titled “Alternatives to consider”- Logitech RS50 System: $699.99 for the base, this hub, and the round rim pre-assembled with a table clamp, against $569.97 for the PC parts bought separately. The one to compare against if the round rim and a PC base are what you wanted.
- Fanatec ClubSport Universal Hub V2: ~$370 for the same idea in Fanatec’s ecosystem, with a published 6x70mm and 3x50mm pattern that takes rims Fanatec does not sell.
- MOZA ESX: $139 for a complete round wheel with its controls and an Xbox license built in, for MOZA bases. The answer when you want one wheel rather than a hub and a rim collection.
- Logitech RS Round Wheel: $69.99, the rim half of this purchase, reviewed on its own.
Price the base first. Wheelbases covers what goes under this hub, and rims and quick-releases covers what bolts to the front of it.
Which platforms it works on
The options this product is sold as do not answer alike, so each platform answer names the options it covers.
- PC
- Yes“PC” “Windows 10/11” Logitech G’s own listing for the PC option, checked August 2026.The first line is this SKU's own platform label, the one the listing renders as a button under the heading “Platform” and carries on SKU 941-000248 in its embedded config. The second is the first of the two requirements Logitech lists under the group headed “RS Wheel Hub for PC”, which is this option's own group rather than one the listing carries once for both SKUs.“XBOX/PC” “Windows 10/11” Logitech G’s own listing for the XBOX/PC option, checked August 2026.The first line is this SKU's own platform label, the one the listing renders as a button under the heading “Platform” and carries on SKU 941-000247 in its embedded config. The second is the first of the three requirements Logitech lists under the group headed “RS Wheel Hub for XBOX/PC ”, whose trailing space is Logitech's.
- PlayStation
- Only with another part“PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 (when connected to a Logitech Wheel base compatible with PlayStation - compatibility not tested nor endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment)” “*PLAYSTATION COMPATIBILITY REQUIRES PRO RACING WHEEL/BASE FOR PLAYSTATION/PC” “Both versions of the Wheel Hub work on PlayStation, provided you have a wheel base that is compatible with PlayStation. If you combine the Xbox version of the Wheel Hub with the PlayStation version of the base then this combination is compatible with PC, PlayStation and Xbox.” Logitech G’s own listing for the PC option, checked August 2026.Three surfaces on one listing, and they do not name the same base. The first is the second requirement under this option's own group, “RS Wheel Hub for PC”, and it asks for any Logitech base compatible with PlayStation. The second is the disclaimer Logitech appends to the feature block titled “One hub, multiple wheels”, and it asks for the PRO Racing Wheel or Base specifically, which would rule out the PlayStation/PC RS50 base the first line admits. The third opens the listing's own “Playstation Compatibility” widget, whose product set is this hub, the RS50 Base, and the PRO DD11 Wheel Base, so the widget reads the broad way while the block above it reads the narrow way. The double space in the third line is Logitech's. Which is right is $250 to a buyer and it is in the todo below.“PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 (when connected to a Logitech Wheel base compatible with PlayStation - compatibility not tested nor endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment)” “Compatibility made easy. The RS Wheel Hub can be paired with any compatible Logitech G Direct Drive base for single, double, or triple-platform compatibility. Want all 3? Pair the RS Wheel Hub (Xbox/PC) with PRO Racing Base (PlayStation/PC).” Logitech G’s own listing for the XBOX/PC option, checked August 2026.The first line is the third requirement under this option's own group and it is byte-identical to the one under the PC option's group, so Logitech asks the same thing of both hubs: the PlayStation is in the base. The second is the whole of the feature block headed “Choose all platforms”, and it is the one place Logitech says which combination reaches every machine. It names the PRO Racing Base where the requirement line above it names any PlayStation-compatible Logitech base, which is the same disagreement the PC option's block records.
- Xbox
- YesXBOX/PC option only“XBOX/PC” “XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One” Logitech G’s own listing for the XBOX/PC option, checked August 2026.The label is this SKU's, and it is the only one of the two that names a console from Microsoft. The second line is the second requirement under this option's own group, and it appears nowhere else on the listing, counted byte-verbatim on 2026-08-01. So the Xbox is in this $189.99 box and not in the $149.99 one.
- Console license
- One console in the base, another in the wheel“RS Wheel Hub for XBOX/PC ” “XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One” “RS Wheel Hub for PC” “PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 (when connected to a Logitech Wheel base compatible with PlayStation - compatibility not tested nor endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment)” Logitech G’s own listing, checked August 2026.The first and third lines are the headings of the two per-SKU requirement groups in this listing's System Requirements, and the trailing space in the first is Logitech's. The second is a requirement under the first group and appears under no other, which is what puts the Xbox in this box. The fourth is a requirement under both groups, byte for byte, which is what puts the PlayStation in a base rather than in either hub. The hyphen inside it is Logitech's own.
- How it connects
- Only through a wheelbase or hub“Select your favorite Racing Series or MOMO × Logitech G steering wheels and use the quick release to attach to any compatible Logitech G Direct Drive base.” “Find your ideal shape and size to suit your racing style. Easily attach any Racing Series or Logitech G x MOMO steering wheels to the RS Wheel Hub with the included bolts and key.”Logitech G’s own listing, checked August 2026.Logitech's own words in the feature blocks titled “One hub, multiple wheels” and “SELECT YOUR STEERING WHEEL”, and the base they name is a Logitech one. The second line is the one that states the bolts and key, and it is what the review cites for that. Logitech writes the MOMO partnership three ways across this one page: the multiplication sign in “MOMO × Logitech G” on the first line, an ordinary “x” with the brands reversed in “Logitech G x MOMO” on the second, and an ordinary “x” again in the System Requirements entry “MOMO x Logitech SIM GT 320”, quoted in the `name` comment at the top of this record and in the todo below. All three are quoted as they stand. The hub carries the quick release onto the base and takes the rim on bolts: its box list holds “Bolts” and “Hex Key”, and the rim's own listing says “Bolts & Hex Key included with RS Wheel Hub”. Logitech names no port on the hub and no way to use it without a base, and it states nothing about attaching it to another brand's base or taking another brand's rim.
On the PC option’s listing: Logitech says nothing about Xbox for this SKU. The listing names Xbox in a requirement group of its own, headed “RS Wheel Hub for XBOX/PC ”, and that group is the other option's; this option's group lists Windows and PlayStation and no console from Microsoft. The platform label is “PC” where the other SKU's is “XBOX/PC”, and the $40 between the two is the whole of the difference.
Optional upgrades
“Choose all platforms” “Compatibility made easy. The RS Wheel Hub can be paired with any compatible Logitech G Direct Drive base for single, double, or triple-platform compatibility. Want all 3? Pair the RS Wheel Hub (Xbox/PC) with PRO Racing Base (PlayStation/PC).” Logitech G’s own words, naming no part, checked August 2026.
The heading and the whole body of the feature block that comes closest to offering a part. It names the PRO Racing Base, and every other part this listing names is a base or a rim the hub needs, so nothing here is an upgrade to the box. Which base that sentence means against the System Requirements' own wording is the disagreement `platforms` below records.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub work on its own?
No. It is the middle of a three-part stack: a Logitech direct-drive base under it, the hub, and a rim bolted to the front. Logitech's own words are "use the quick release to attach to any compatible Logitech G Direct Drive base", and the box holds the hub, bolts, a hex key, a sticker sheet, and a documentation sheet, with no rim and no base. At $149.99 plus a $69.99 RS Round Wheel that pair is $219.98, and the cheapest Logitech base under it, the $349.99 PC RS50, takes the build to $569.97. Prices read from Logitech's US store on 1 August 2026.
Which steering wheels fit the RS Wheel Hub?
Five, and Logitech names them across two surfaces rather than one. Its own requirement group holds four: the RS Track Wheel, the RS Round Wheel, the MOMO x Logitech SIM GT 320, and the MOMO x Logitech SIM GT Racer 290. Each of those four listings names the hub back, the two RS rims under a System Requirements line reading "Secured onto RS Wheel Hub" and the two MOMO wheels under one reading "Fits on Logitech G RS Wheel Hub". The fifth is the RS Formula Wheel McLaren Racing Edition, whose own requirement reads "Requires RS Wheel Hub or RS QR Adapter" and which the hub's group does not list. Logitech states no bolt pattern and no adapter for anything outside those five. Read 2 August 2026.
PC or XBOX/PC: which RS Wheel Hub should I buy?
XBOX/PC if there is any chance you want an Xbox, because that console is in this box and nowhere else in the stack. The $189.99 SKU 941-000247 lists "XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One" among its requirements and the $149.99 SKU 941-000248 lists no Microsoft console at all. Both reach a PC on Windows 10/11, and both reach a PlayStation only through the base, so $40 is the whole of the difference. Read 1 August 2026.
Does the RS Wheel Hub work on PlayStation?
Through the base, and Logitech's own listing gives two different answers about which base. Both SKUs carry the requirement "PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 (when connected to a Logitech Wheel base compatible with PlayStation - compatibility not tested nor endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment)", which the $449.99 PS/PC RS50 base satisfies. The disclaimer under Logitech's "One hub, multiple wheels" block reads "*PLAYSTATION COMPATIBILITY REQUIRES PRO RACING WHEEL/BASE FOR PLAYSTATION/PC", which the RS50 is not. The gap between those two readings is $250 on an all-three build. Read 1 August 2026.
RS Wheel Hub and parts, or the RS50 System?
The System, if a PC base plus this hub plus a round rim is what you were going to buy anyway. Logitech sells the base, the hub, and the RS Round Wheel pre-assembled as the RS50 System at $699.99 with a table clamp in the box, against $569.97 for the same three parts bought one at a time on the PC options. Buying the parts is what you do when you want the XBOX/PC hub, the Track rim, or a base you already own. Read 1 August 2026.
