Ahead on paper, hands down. Asetek Invicta boasts an impressive 27Nm of torque, dwarfing Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel's 11Nm. Direct Drive is a given for both, but the Invicta's higher torque rating screams raw power and precision. PC-only compatibility might be a drawback for some, but it's a small price to pay for that kind of oomph.
I've seen users struggling with Logitech's G Pro Racing Wheel. The "standard" quick release is a misnomer - it's anything but standard when you're trying to troubleshoot issues like the wheel flickering after an hour of racing. And don't even get me started on the rattle that some owners experience, which apparently has nothing to do with FFB settings and everything to do with a poorly designed wheelbase. You'd think Logitech would've ironed out these kinks by now, but it seems support is still in its infancy. One user even had to deal with contractors from the Philippines trying to "help" them - good luck with that. Users are reporting similar issues with Asetek Invicta, albeit for different reasons. The hydraulic feel is great, but some owners have seen their pedals fail within a year of use, which doesn't exactly scream durability. And if you're planning on using heel-toe techniques, forget about it - the pedals just aren't designed for that level of finesse. The big problem here is that both manufacturers seem to be prioritizing marketing over actual user experience. Logitech's G Pro Racing Wheel looks sleek and promising, but its performance falls short of expectations. Asetek Invicta, on the other hand, promises raw power but delivers inconsistent quality control.
If you're looking for a no-frills, high-torque wheel that's going to make your racing experience more immersive, Asetek Invicta is still the better choice - albeit at a premium price point. It may not be perfect, but it delivers on its promises in a way that Logitech's G Pro Racing Wheel simply doesn't. For now, I'd advise against shelling out cash for either wheel until their manufacturers address these glaring issues. But hey, if you're a glutton for punishment and want to deal with subpar support and inconsistent performance, go ahead and give Logitech's G Pro Racing Wheel a shot. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
