Grab the Logitech G29 racing wheel and a free headset for the same price it was for Prime Day at Argos

Logitech's G29 has been a go-to recommendation of mine for those wanting a reliable entry-level racing wheel for many years now. It's a wheel I continued to use in a range of titles, my beloved Assetto Corsa included, for years before switching to a Moza R3 late last year. This wheel, plus a free Logitech G435 Lightspeed headset (one of our favourite PC gaming headsets) is currently £170 from Argos - the same price Amazon had it for during the last big Prime Day sale.

The Logitech G29 is arguably the better-specced version of the pair of wheels that the Swiss brand makes, alongside the G920, given it features RPM indicator lights, the plus/minus buttons and control dial where its sibling doesn't. The G29 works with both PlayStation and PC, and it's on the latter where I used my G29 for the last seven or so years. That wheel was my entry point into sim racing, and it can be yours too, for good reason. I've been using one in the likes of Assetto Corsa, Automobilista, Richard Burns Rally and Euro Truck Simulator 2, and it helps to provide a lot of immersion at a lower cost. It's a well-made option with a solid plastic base and pedals, complete with steel construction on the shifter paddles and pedals. Combined with this, its hand-stitched leather rim is comfortable to use, and the button placement makes sense, with lots of options for mapping inputs to, especially with the addition of the dial and plus and minus buttons. I usually map the dial to an ignition start, and the plus and minus to boost toggles in Assetto Corsa on cars with controllable boost levels.

There's 900 degrees of rotation on offer, while its gear-based force feedback is decent. It may not be as well executed as a direct drive equivalent, but those still cost a fair amount more than the G29 does, and for most people, the force feedback afforded here should be fine. It may seem stupid to say, but the fact you get a dedicated clutch pedal is a bonus, as some options such as the Thrustmaster T128 don't have them, which seems a little odd. For more immersion to go with that Clutch pedal for non-sequential gearboxes, you can also grab a dedicated Logitech G Driving Force shifter (marked down to £25 from Amazon), which is a must-have accessory in my view for use with vehicles that have an H-Pattern shifter, be it a truck or historic racing cars. I'm usually dabbling with pre-war era historics from the 1920s and 1930s, or pelting stuff up the Goodwood Hill Climb on Assetto Corsa, but your mileage may vary.

In the grand scheme of things, £170 for a full set of wheel and pedals isn't a bad price, especially one as solid as the Logitech G29. If you want to grab a fantastic racing wheel at a real bargain of a price, this early Black Friday deal is well worth a look.
