To set up Logitech G923 on PC, start by physically securing the wheel to your desk or rig and connecting the power and USB cables, then install the Logitech G HUB software to unlock force feedback and full customization. Without G HUB, the wheel functions only as a basic input device, so this software is essential for enabling TrueForce, adjusting rotation, and remapping buttons for your racing wheel setup.
Before you begin: Mount your Logitech G923 on a desk or rig
Securing the wheel base using the built-in clamps or bolt mounting points as the very first physical step ensures the wheel stays stable during intense driving. The G923 comes with adjustable clamps that grip desk edges or flat surfaces, and it also has threaded holes underneath for bolting directly into a SIM racing cockpit. Tighten the clamps firmly so the base does not shift when you turn the wheel or when force feedback activates. This mounting step prevents the wheel from lifting or sliding, which would ruin immersion and could damage the equipment.
How to connect the Logitech G923 to your PC
- Connect the power adapter to the wheel and a wall outlet. The external power supply is required for proper calibration and force feedback; without it, the wheel will not operate correctly.
- Connect the USB cable directly to a PC port, avoiding hubs. Use a USB 2.0 port on your computer for best results. Plugging into a hub can cause input lag, disconnections, or failure to be recognized.
Once both cables are attached, the wheel base lights up to confirm it is receiving power. The pedals connect to the back of the wheel base using the included cable. After all physical connections are made, the wheel is ready for software installation.
Install the Logitech G HUB software and update firmware
Downloading G HUB from the official website, installing it, and checking for critical firmware updates for the G923 is the next essential step. Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) is deprecated for this wheel and will not work properly. After installation, open G HUB; it should automatically recognize the G923. Navigate to the settings or device tab and look for any available firmware updates. Installing these updates ensures optimal performance, bug fixes, and full support for TrueForce feedback in Logitech G923 compatible games.
Configure your wheel settings in G HUB
Adjusting wheel rotation angle, sensitivity, and centering spring force within the software lets you tailor the wheel to your driving style. In the wheel settings tab of G HUB, you can set the rotation angle up to 900 degrees. A lower angle (like 270 degrees) suits arcade racers with quick steering, while a higher angle feels more realistic for simulators. Sensitivity controls how much input the wheel sends per degree of rotation. Centering spring force determines how strongly the wheel returns to center; lower values feel looser, higher values feel stiffer.
Customize button assignments and force feedback
Remapping buttons, creating game profiles, and tuning TrueForce feedback strength and effects takes your setup from functional to personal. In the assignments tab, click any button on the on-screen wheel diagram and choose a function from the list, such as shifting gears, activating look-back, or toggling the D-pad. You can save these mappings into game-specific profiles so each title automatically loads your preferred layout. For force feedback, go to the feedback tab and adjust overall strength, then fine-tune individual effects like road texture, tire slip, and collision rumble. TrueForce uses the game’s audio engine to generate detailed vibrations, so increasing the detail slider makes feedback more nuanced.
Test and calibrate your G923 in a racing game
Launching a game to verify all inputs, testing force feedback, and performing in-game calibration if necessary confirms everything works as intended. Open your racing title and go to the controls or input settings menu. The game should list the Logitech G923 as an active device. Test steering, pedals, and every button you remapped. Drive on different surfaces and feel the TrueForce response, if the wheel feels too strong or too weak, return to G HUB and adjust the strength slider. Some games have a built-in calibration tool; if so, follow the on-screen prompts to calibrate your wheel (the process is identical for the G923 on PC). This final check ensures no dead zones, misaligned center, or missing inputs remain before you race competitively.
