Moving on to the wheelbase, it’s an absolute unit, tipping the scales at 15.4lbs (7kg). Logitech hasn’t confirmed the future availability of F1 or other themed wheels that will work with the G Pro wheelbase, but it is an almost certain possibility. You can also easily and quickly remove the wheel rim completely thanks to its quick-release mechanism. The mechanical-like click of the paddle shifters feels amazingly satisfying and tactile despite the fact that it actually uses a magnetic system with contactless hall-effect sensors. Alternatively, you can set up the bottom pair of paddle switches to act as analog levers for gas and brake. The metal paddle shifters are also nice and large, and you get two sets of them so you can make gear changes no matter how you’re holding the wheel. It’s also a bit bigger, with a more true-to-life 300mm (11.81-inch) diameter compared to the more child-friendly 280mm (11-inch) diameter of the G923 and the DD Pro. The wheel itself feels nice and rugged, with a big metal plate in its center.
Unlike a traditional joystick, it is more like a flight stick hat, so navigating menus feels confident with small distinct clicks. The most curious and welcome addition is the small, tactile joystick within reach of my left thumb.
It’s also not too far to reach down to the trigger buttons or even the menu buttons and dials controls. Its layout is a clear evolution from the G923 wheel, with the same row of controller face buttons that your thumbs can easily access while your hands are planted at ten and two. The G Pro doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel for racing wheels.
