My first impression after installing this steering wheel and pedal set has been overwhelmingly positive. The G923 is a solid addition to my gaming setup, allowing me to immerse myself in F1 2023 and Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 5.
I've had this for about three months now, and I'm pleased with how it performs as expected. What's notable is that the brake pedal takes some getting used to - it feels harder to depress than the clutch or accelerator, but my pre-teen niece and nephew can manage it just fine. The pedals themselves are relatively close together, which hasn't been a problem since I don't use the clutch.
The pedal arrangement does feel a bit cramped at times, especially when trying to navigate tight corners in Gran Turismo 7. However, I've attached another wide pedal that can be used as an alternative, and it's helped alleviate some of this discomfort.
When driving on certain tracks, the force feedback from the pedals can be quite loud and aggressive - depending on the game's surface and my own level of recklessness! This has led me to invest in some extension cables to keep things tidy when sitting close to the PS5/TV. I've also opted for cable wraps to help conceal the cables.
Despite a few minor issues, such as the inability to untether power and data cables from the steering wheel and the presence of USB-A cables instead of USB-C - which could potentially introduce lag - I'm happy with my purchase overall. The buttons and paddles are made of decent quality plastics that function adequately.
When it comes to setup and connection, I found Google's PS5 instructions to be helpful in setting up the system, although I do remember asking for some assistance. On a scale of one to five, I'd rate this steering wheel and pedal set an eight out of ten - it's a solid piece of kit that delivers on its promises.
Overall, I think the G923 is a great value for the price, even if it does take some getting used to at first. It's not cheap, but it's worth considering for those looking for a high-quality gaming experience with a good steering wheel and pedal set.
