Logitech’s RS50 could shake up mid-range sim racing like never before — here’s why
Jason England

That’s a lot of torque for the price!

A couple of years ago, I was briefed about the Logitech G Pro racing wheel. During that session, I had one question: “You have the budget wheel in the G923, and now the maxed-out G Pro, so what about the mid-range?”
Two years later, I finally have my answer — and it’s a big one.
Meet the Logitech G RS50 system and G RS Pedals, which (on paper) bring all the best bits from far more expensive wheels to a package that costs a grand total of just over $750. And as I start to explain the specs, you’ll know why that’s a big deal for taking your sim racing to the next level on the cheap.

Real racing feel?

So let’s start with the wheel and base itself. Firstly, that $699 price is for both the Xbox or PlayStation versions — typically, support for Sony’s console comes with a bit of a premium, so it’s nice to see some balance here!
As for the tech itself, you’ll find 8 newton-meters of direct drive torque, which is significantly higher than you’d find at this cost (brand new, of course), alongside that TRUEFORCE tech that integrates directly with game physics to give you a greater feel of the more finite details.

Whether it’s the feel of tire grip to stop any slips of the rear wheels when powering out of a corner, the suspension to pre-empt any understeer, or even feeling the reverb of that beefy engine powering you along, Logitech says it’s all present.
As for the round wheel that comes with it, you’ve got up to 2,700 degrees of rotation for versatility across many different driving types (including truck driving), RPM LEDs, and magnetic paddle shifters. Plus, the steering wheel shape is completely removable, so you could shift to a formula-style wheel if you’re looking to dominate the F1 grid.

All in the feet

Then there’s the pedals. With a premium modular metallic build to space the pedals however far or close to each other you want, we’re already off to a good start here! Add in a load cell brake as standard for strong braking consistency, and even a hall effect gas pedal for long-term reliability, and this is a spec sheet that inspires confidence.
Oh, and if you’re racing at a desk, there are even back brackets that you can use to push the RS pedals up to a wall — that way they don’t move as you push them.

Of course, this is all based on what Logitech is telling us, but you’ll be hard pushed to find anything with this level of direct drive force feedback at this price. Neither would you be able to snag a premium set of pedals with a load cell brake and hall effect accelerator at this price, either.
And even better? All of this can be constructed into a package you want. You could just get the wheelbase for $350, for example. Logitech’s really thought of everything here!
The RS50 + RS Pedals could be the ultimate mid-range sim racing rig to beat. But I’ll save any more conjecture until the full review — keep it locked to Tom’s Guide for that.
