Logitech International, the world's leading company in the gaming device market, announces the release of the " Logitech G923 Racing Simulation Gear" ( G923 ) from its gaming brand "Logitech G" on Thursday, September 17, 2020. The G923 Racing Handle & Pedal " (hereinafter referred to as "G923") will be released on September 17, 2020 (Thursday ).
The "G923" is designed for a more realistic racing experience!
In racing games, not only visual information such as the scenery of the course flowing at high speed, instruments, and the positions of other cars, but also "feedback" from the steering wheel, such as the unevenness of the road and the grip of the tires, is important.
The presence or absence of feedback has a significant impact on the immersion and realism of a racing game, as well as on the information gathered.
Logitech has been releasing products that focus on feedback since its first racing wheel, the "GT FORCE," in 2001.
The new "G923" is the first new model in five years since the "G29," which is currently on sale, and is a higher-end model of the "G29.
Next-generation "TRUEFORCE" technology delivers higher definition feedback
TRUEFORCE " works in conjunction with the vehicle in the game and is capable of processing up to 4000 Hz.
The user can experience even the most subtle nuances of the game, such as uneven road surfaces, changes in terrain, tire contact, and ground conditions such as rain and snow.
You can also feel the realistic behavior of the vehicle, allowing you to react more quickly and take advantage of the racing game.
Dual clutch function to reproduce launch control
In game titles that support the "Dual Clutch" function, you can use the "Dual Clutch" function to make a speedy dash to the start, just like a real racing car.
This will reduce tire spin and maximize traction at the start, giving you a head start over the other players.
Closed-loop control of the motor for proper torque
The G923's advanced firmware monitors the current flowing through the wheel rotors.
It continuously adjusts the voltage level to match the output from the game physics to provide the proper torque.
By increasing the setting above the default, the overall response of the wheel can be increased, even in games with older-style feedback.
Adoption of a new high resilience spring that enhances the sense of realism
A newly developed high resilience spring is used in the brake pedal.
The pedal surface is adjustable for even control during heel and toe.
In addition, metal materials are used for the pedals and wheels as a design design design for racing games.
Various controls for improved UI
The directional keys and buttons in the center of the steering wheel can be used to operate the settings screen, and the Rev indicator LED light in the upper center allows the user to check the gear shift timing.
A 24-point adjustment dial and +/- buttons are useful for quick and intuitive tuning while driving.
The software Logitech G HUB 2 can also be installed to adjust wheel sensitivity, force feedback levels, and change button assignments.
Release Date and Price
The release date is set for Thursday, September 17, 2020, and the price at the Logitech Online Store is 61,270 yen, tax included.
It has been five years since the release of the previous G29, so some of you may be waiting for the release of the G923 with baited breath. I, of course, am one of them!
The G923 is also compatible with the upcoming PlayStation 5, making it the perfect phone for enjoying the next generation of racing games!
