LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL (03) PDF Document

There are three main connection points on the back of your LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL base:

1. USB connection to PC / console: Connect the USB cable from this port to your PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, or PC.

2. Peripheral ports: These are not standard USB connections. Only Logitech racing peripherals will function in these ports. Other USB peripherals will not work and should not be connected.

3. Power connector: Connect the power adapter to this port and then to a wall outlet.

Please ensure that the power connector is fully inserted. You might feel a small click as you insert it, but you can push past this until the connector is fully inserted for the wheel to function correctly. Do not use excessive force.

To install your LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL on a desk, follow these steps:

1. Place the wheel base on your desk and ensure the feet at the bottom are aligned against the edge of the desk. The desk thickness should be less than 50 mm (1.97 in).

2. Insert the clamp into the hole at the front of the wheel base.

3. Tighten the clamp by adjusting the screw handle. Once the clamp makes contact with the desk, you only need between a half and one full turn of the handle to achieve the correct clamping level. Do not overtighten.

NOTE: Be aware of your desk’s construction. Some desks with a hollow-core construction may not be strong enough to withstand the forces applied. It is recommended to clamp your PRO Wheel to a desk made from a solid material, such as MDF or wood.

To attach your LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL to a racing seat, follow these instructions:

1. Use the three bolt holes on the underside of the wheel base to attach it to the racing seat. You will need 3 x M6X1 bolts (not included) with a maximum depth inside the wheel base of 15mm. Remember to account for the thickness of the mounting surface.

2. Using bolts that are too long will damage the unit. If needed, use washers to ensure the bolts do not go too far inside the wheel base.

3. The bolts should only be hand-tightened. Do not use power tools.

4. You can use the included cover to fill the clamp hole when attaching the wheel to a racing seat.

WARNING: Do not use the wheel rim as leverage to assist you when getting into or out of your racing seat, as this will damage your PRO Racing Wheel.

1. Connect the wheel rim to the wheel base, ensuring that the shaft is aligned correctly.

2. Lock the quick release ring in its “squeezed” position. You do not need to hold it there while attaching the wheel rim.

3. Push the wheel rim onto the shaft on the wheel base until you hear the quick release ring click and lock into position.

1. Power on the wheel by pressing the Power button on the front of the wheel base. The wheel will spin slightly to calibrate and then center itself.

2. The settings display on the wheel base will prompt you to choose your gaming platform (PS5, PS4, or PC).

3. Use either the left or the right dial on the steering wheel to select the platform, then push the dial in until it clicks to confirm your selection.

4. Press the PS button to log in and sync the wheel with your player profile.

For Console Play: Simply load a compatible game and start racing.

For PC Play: You must first download and install the latest version of the Logitech G HUB software. Once installed, you can start racing. Some titles may require you to configure the wheel in the game’s control settings first.

To power off the wheel, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.

The LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL features a direct drive motor with TRUEFORCE technology. Please observe the following safety notes:

• High Torque: The direct drive motor can produce very high levels of torque (up to 11 Nm). Exercise caution and set the force feedback level to one that is within the limits of the person using it.

• Not for Children: This product is not intended for use by small children.

• Vehicle Crashes: If you crash a vehicle in a simulation, the wheel may pull itself out of your hands. Do not attempt to stop the wheel from moving, as this may result in injury. You can usually stop the wheel by pausing the game (e.g., using the Escape key on PC) or, if necessary, unplugging the USB cable from the console.

• Odor During Heavy Use: Under heavy use, you may notice a slight odor from the exhaust at the back of the wheel. This is normal and will fade over time.

• Heat During Long Sessions: During exceptionally long racing sessions at maximum torque, certain parts like the quick release collar may become warm to the touch. If this occurs, it is recommended to allow your PRO wheel to cool down before removing the wheel rim or moving the wheel base.

Press the Settings button on the wheel base to access the Settings menu. In this menu, you can configure settings for your wheel and attached pedals across 5 different onboard profiles.

To navigate the menu, use either of the adjustment dials on the steering wheel to scroll up or down through menus or adjust a setting. Press the dial in to select an item or confirm a selection.

All settings are “live adjustable,” meaning they will take effect as soon as you finish adjusting them.

In the settings menu, select “Profile” to change the active profile for the wheel. You can choose from 5 onboard profiles. On PC, an additional “G HUB” option is available, which uses the settings from the currently active profile in the G HUB software. Any adjustments made on the wheel’s display while this profile is active will be reflected in G HUB. The names of the onboard profiles can be edited using G HUB.

In the settings menu, you can adjust the “Strength” setting. This allows you to set the overall peak strength of the force feedback felt through the wheel, adjustable between 1 and 11 Nm of torque.

The “TF Audio” setting adjusts the strength of the audio effects output for games that support TRUEFORCE. These effects replicate aspects of the racing title such as engine note, tire grip, or road surface. It is generally recommended to set this at a low enough level to receive the additional information without it being overwhelming. Some games offer further control to adjust individual audio elements like engine, tire, and road audio separately.

The “Force Feedback Filter” setting is used to filter out high-frequency force feedback signals that a driving simulation may not be able to run at. The default “AUTO” setting provides a smooth experience for most simulations. You can manually adjust this from 1 (least filter) to 15 (maximum filter). A lower filter setting allows you to feel more of the smaller effects, but may introduce more “noise” into the force feedback.

The “Dampener” setting alters the feel of the wheel to make it more realistic, especially in older titles that do not support TRUEFORCE. It helps filter out unusual behavior, such as when the wheel moves rapidly left and right on a straight track. This happens when the wheel over-reacts to signals from the game. Increasing the dampening percentage will filter this out but will also make the wheel less responsive. It is recommended to keep this setting as low as possible.

The “Angle” setting allows you to change the overall operating angle range of the wheel. For most games, you should leave this at 1080 degrees, and the game will automatically match the correct rotation for the car you are driving. This setting allows you to override the game’s setting if you wish.

The “Brake Force” setting is only available if a compatible set of pedals is attached to your LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL. It allows you to set the level of physical force required to achieve 100% braking in-game. As you adjust the level, you can press the brake pedal to see the live axis output, making it easy to tune to your preference.

The Dual Clutch Paddles on your LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL can be assigned to one of several different axes in the “L Paddle” / “R Paddle” settings menu:

• Clutch: Enables dual clutch functionality for launch assist.

• Gas: Assigns the paddle as an accelerator.

• Brake: Assigns the paddle as a brake.

• Handbrake: Assigns the paddle as a handbrake, useful for drifting and rally racing.

• Axis A / Axis B: A pair of non-specific axes that can be assigned to other functions like look left/right. Support in console titles depends on the game developer.

NOTE: For the Dual Clutch functionality to operate, both paddles must be assigned to the Clutch function.

You can change what is shown on the Settings display when not adjusting settings. The “Home Screen” option has four modes:

1. Dynamic: Supports potential future updates to the screen functionality. Defaults to the Test function.

2. Test: This is the default screen when no racing game is running. You can move the wheel, paddles, and pedals (if attached) to see their axis response.

3. Profile: Displays which profile you currently have the wheel set to.

4. Torque: Displays the live and average torque output of the wheel.

On PC, some racing titles may not automatically recognize the LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL. While you can usually reconfigure controls manually, it may be easier to enable “G923 compatibility mode”.

When you choose this option, the wheel will restart and appear to the PC/console as a G923 wheel. Games with native support for the G923 will then automatically set up the wheel.

In G923 mode, many advanced settings are not available. You can adjust Strength, FFB Filter, Dampener, and Brake Force, but other features are disabled. The Dual Clutch paddles will only function as Gas and Brake in this mode. It is recommended to remain in the standard PRO Wheel mode whenever possible to have access to the full feature set.

By default, your LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL will prompt you to choose a platform every time you power it on. If you wish to bypass this, you can force the wheel to always start in a specific mode.

In the settings menu, navigate to the “Platform” setting. You have several options:

• On Startup (default): Prompts for platform choice every time.

• Consoles: Automatically selects the console mode.

• PC: Automatically selects PC mode.

Select your desired option, and the wheel will automatically choose it the next time it is powered on.

To set the bite point for the dual clutch to achieve perfect standing starts, follow these steps:

1. In your desired game, start a practice or time trial session in the car of your choice.

2. Navigate to the “D Clutch Bite” setting on the Settings display of your PRO Wheel.

3. Fully press the left Dual Clutch Paddle, select 1st gear using the gear paddle, and engage full gas/throttle.

4. While keeping the left Dual Clutch Paddle fully pressed, use the right adjustment dial on the wheel to adjust the value on the display until you see the car beginning to move onscreen.

5. Now, experiment with standing starts and continue to adjust the value until you are happy with the traction you are getting in-game.

NOTE: The “Clutch Bite” setting is used to tune the Dual Clutch paddles axis value to the specific game/car you are using.

To use the dual clutch system for a grid start in a race:

1. At the race start, fully depress both of the Dual Clutch Paddles.

2. Select first gear using the Gear Up Paddle and fully depress the gas pedal.

3. As soon as you get the green light for the race start, immediately release the right Dual Clutch Paddle. The car should start moving as the bite point of the clutch is engaged.

4. Smoothly release the left Dual Clutch Paddle to achieve maximum traction.

It’s worth practicing this last step and modifying the bite point setting to find a method that works for you. Support for the dual clutch function is not possible in all games.

Logitech G HUB enables the following features on the LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL:

• Button programming with profiles that can be linked to games

• Adjustment of wheel settings, such as Rotation Angle and TRUEFORCE strength

• Creation of custom RPM LED patterns

• Edit game profiles and custom RPM LED patterns in onboard memory

• Testing of the wheel’s various axes

In Logitech G HUB, you can alter the output response of the wheel to be more or less sensitive using the “Sensitivity” slider.

• A setting of 50% will provide a linear 1:1 output.

• Settings between 51% and 100% will make the wheel increasingly more sensitive around the center movement of the wheel.

• Settings between 0% and 49% will make the wheel increasingly less sensitive around the center movement of the wheel.

1. In G HUB, navigate to the LIGHTSYNC settings for your wheel.

2. Click the drop-down menu under EFFECT and choose one of the “Effects On Device” (e.g., CUSTOM 1), then click the Edit button.

3. On the left, use the color picker to select a color. The shade changes from left to right, and the brightness changes from top to bottom.

4. You can save a color by clicking the circle with the “+” sign below the color rectangle.

5. To assign a color to an LED, select the color, and then click on the specific LED in the image on the right. The mouse cursor will change to a paint bucket icon.

6. To finish, rename the pattern by selecting the “RPM LEDs 1” text at the top, typing your own name, and then clicking Save at the bottom.

At the top of G HUB, you have two drop-down menus: Configuration and Profile.

• The Configuration menu lets you choose between adjusting software profiles (“Games & Applications”) or editing the settings in the wheel’s onboard memory (“On-board Memory”).

• When “On-board Memory” is selected, the Profile drop-down menu will show the 5 onboard memory slots.

Any changes you make to the settings while an onboard profile is selected will be automatically saved to the memory of the LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL for that profile. You can also edit the profile name by clicking the edit icon next to “Profile” at the top of the screen. This name will persist in the wheel’s memory, even when used on a console.

NOTE: It is not possible to make changes to the settings on the PRO Wheel using G HUB if the settings menu on the wheel itself is open. G HUB will show an error message asking you to close the settings menu on the wheel if it detects it has been accessed.

To keep your LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL clean and operating well, perform the following simple, semi-regular maintenance:

Regular maintenance (weekly):

• Vacuum the front grill of the wheel base to prevent the build-up of dust.

• Clean the body and wheel rim with a damp, lint-free cloth, ensuring there is no excess water present in the cloth.

Every 200 hours:

• Clean the outside surface of the quick release adapter on the wheel base using an isopropyl alcohol wipe.

Firmware, also known as embedded software, controls all the functions of your LOGITECH PRO RACING WHEEL. Periodically, Logitech may release firmware updates to improve functionality. These updates are made available through the G HUB software, which will inform you when an update is available.
