To turn off vibration on your Logitech G29, you need to reduce its force feedback strength to zero using the Logitech G HUB software on PC, or adjust in-game settings on PlayStation consoles. This guide covers both methods so you can eliminate the noise and distraction that the wheel’s gear-driven system produces.
How to turn off vibration on your Logitech G29
Vibration on the G29 is part of its force feedback system, which simulates road feel, tire slip, and curb impacts through internal motors. Many gamers want to disable this vibration to reduce the audible grinding noise the gear-driven system can make, or to avoid unwanted resistance during gameplay. The process differs depending on whether you are using a PC or a PlayStation console, so follow the section that matches your setup.
Turning off vibration on PC with Logitech G HUB
Ensure your Logitech G29 is connected to your computer and that you have the latest version of Logitech G HUB installed. This is the current software for the G29 on Windows and macOS; the older Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) was deprecated in 2023.
- Launch Logitech G HUB on your computer.
- Select the Logitech G29 from the list of connected devices.
- Look for a general “Force Feedback” slider or similar setting within G HUB and disable it or set it to the lowest possible value. Dragging this slider to zero will turn off all vibration and resistance, making the wheel spin freely.
After applying this change, the wheel will no longer produce force feedback vibrations during gameplay on PC titles that respect the global G HUB profile.
Disabling vibration through in-game settings
For both PC and PlayStation users, the most precise way to eliminate vibration is through each game’s options menu. On PlayStation consoles (PS4/PS5), the G29 works natively, and force feedback adjustments are primarily made through in-game settings.
Adjust in-game settings such as “Force Feedback,” “Vibration Scale,” “Road Effects,” “Curb Effects,” “Slip Effects,” “ABS Effects,” “Gain,” or “Strength” to zero or a very low percentage. Many racing titles let you set individual effects, like road and curb effects, to zero independently, giving you a completely smooth wheel with no tactile feedback.
For console players, this is the only reliable method to turn off vibration, as G HUB does not control the wheel’s behavior on PlayStation.
What to avoid when disabling force feedback
Completely de-energizing the motors for smoother steering without any resistance might involve disconnecting the power supply after calibration, but this is not a standard or officially recommended method for disabling force feedback. Physically unplugging the power while the wheel is on can cause unexpected behavior or calibration errors, so stick to the software and in-game methods above.
Also note that the G29 uses a gear-driven force feedback system, which can produce noticeable noise or “grindy” sensations, especially with high force feedback settings. Even with vibration turned off, the wheel’s internal gears still make mechanical sounds during rotation, this is normal and not a defect.
