The Logitech G27 is a racing wheel made by Logitech. It supports PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PC. It replaced the Logitech G25 in 2010, with some new features including the use of helical gearing instead of the previous straight gears used on the G25.[1] As of December 2015, the G27 is no longer sold by Logitech, in favor of the newer G29 and G920 steering wheels now offered by Logitech.

    • One set of gears between motors and wheel, including an anti-backlash design
    • 2 paddle shifters
    • 6 buttons
    • Dual-motor force feedback with helical gears that produces less noise than the G25, and provides better steering response[1]
  • A set of stainless steel pedals, including:
  • A shifter unit:
    • 8 buttons
    • 1 D-pad
    • A gear stick with a six-speed 'H' pattern gearbox. Reverse is selected by pressing down and changing to sixth
    • Unlike the superseded Logitech G25, the shifter unit does not include a selector to switch to sequential up-down mode, only allowing six-speed mode to be used. The shift click has improved though and gives less noise
