Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel and Asetek La Prima are direct drive wheels with 11Nm and 12Nm of torque respectively. The Logitech wheel has a wider compatibility, including PC/PS5/Xbox, while the Asetek is limited to PC. Both have standard quick release mechanisms. On paper, both seem comparable.
I've seen users complaining about inconsistent support from Logitech. One guy had to deal with contractors in the Philippines who couldn't help him resolve an issue. Another user's wheel broke after three dashes on the screen and turned off. He was left on hold for a week, promised return calls that never came. The big problem here is that these wheels are expensive and you can't afford to have them fail or require extensive support. The G Pro Racing Wheel has its quirks too. Users report issues with cable management, where the USB cable exits to either side, causing it to bend easily. Some even mention a slight problem with flickering after an hour of racing. But at least they're not completely broken. Asetek La Prima seems to have its own set of problems. One user sold their pedal because it felt off when driving non-open wheel cars. Another user was disappointed that the wheel is more functional than stylish, but at a premium price point, you'd expect something better. I've also seen users complaining about poor customer support from Asetek, citing issues with returns and exchanges. But hey, at least their wheels don't break as easily.
For the average sim racer who wants a reliable wheel without breaking the bank, I'd recommend the Asetek La Prima. It's more affordable than the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel and has a similar spec sheet. Users are reporting good performance from this wheel, even if it doesn't look as sleek. But for those who want the best of the best, with no compromises on style or performance, I'd say go for the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel. It's a premium product that justifies its price point. Just be prepared to deal with the headaches that come with owning an expensive piece of hardware.
