On paper, both wheels excel in direct drive torque, with Asetek Invicta boasting a 27Nm advantage over Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel's 11Nm. However, the latter offers better compatibility across PC, PS5, and Xbox platforms.
I've seen firsthand how these wheels handle in real-world racing. Let me tell you, it's a mixed bag. Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel users have reported some fantastic experiences, but there are also red flags to be aware of. The pedal's USB cable is well-designed, but some users have encountered issues with the quick release mechanism - I've seen wheels break after only three dashes on the screen and sudden shutdowns. And don't even get me started on customer support; it sounds like a nightmare to deal with their contractors in the Philippines. On the other hand, Asetek Invicta owners have reported some... let's call them 'encounters' with hydraulic failure, usually within a year of use. The lack of adjustability is also a concern for some users - I've seen review videos highlighting this limitation.
When it comes to sheer driving experience and build quality, Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel has its moments, but the reliability concerns and poor customer support make me hesitant. Asetek Invicta's hydraulic feel is undeniable, but its premium price point doesn't quite justify the risk of premature failure. For casual sim racers on a budget or those who want a no-frills driving experience, Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel might be a good value for money - just be prepared for potential hiccups. However, if you're looking to invest in a top-of-the-line setup and can stomach the risk of hydraulic failure, Asetek Invicta is still worth considering.
But let's be real: neither wheel has impressed me with its reliability or customer support. You'd do well to investigate further before making a purchase.
