The Logitech G25 is a racing wheel released by Logitech on May 9, 2006.
Unlike past Logitech force feedback racing wheels which employed the single-motor-gear-driven force feedback mechanism, the G25 has a more responsive dual-motor-gear-driven force feedback powered by two motors, with only one set of gears between the motors and wheel. The gearing also have anti-backlash design, resulting in smoother operation. Whereas past Logitech wheels has the stick shifter built onto the base, the G25 has the stick shifter, now as a manual-sequential shifter, separated from the base. The external shifter is capable of switching between sequential mode and H-pattern mode. The foot pedal set have also been redesigned, now with 3 potentiometer-based pedals with metal faceplates and can be mounted onto the racing stand/cockpit.
The G25 is supported in games that incorporate Logitech's steering wheel SDK, but requires specific version of Logitech Gaming Software to be installed in order to work.
