I used this a lot when messing around with my Logitech Driving Force G29 Steering Wheel, it's so useful! Just make sure you have the right drivers installed for your hardware.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: whizseBig, big mistake in looking up the G29 on the Logitech website. I couldn't help notice that they have a new set of pedals. Proper ones with a load cell. Well, guess that's the Christmas present for myself sorted...I have the Logitech G27. I really should set it up somewhere that I can strap on the Index and play some racers in VR...
The pedals was always the weakest point in the G29 package and even though these are the "pro" stuff there's an adapter available for the G-series. Pretty impressive for an eight year old product range.
Seems like the adapter got a serial connection just like the old pedals so I hope drivers wouldn't be a problem?
