I've had the Logitech G920 for about 2 months now. Wish they did a 2 year warranty for North America. Budget for new pedals and a better rim or buy the limited edition version with both upgrades included. I have e-mailed them with questions and they have replied and been helpful, just slow to respond.ДЄs for price, the TX at around $300 US is a good deal. I've heard they are best contacted by e-mail but it can take a few days sometimes. Both their website and phone message said they were open during the time I was calling but there was no one to talk to. I did try to contact Thrustmaster by phone when my very first wheel died right away, and after 20 minutes of calling I gave up. I have heard mixed things about Thrustmaster support and didn't want to take the chance on having to buy a new wheel if mine failed out of warranty so I opted to get the G920 which has a 2 year warranty. With the amount of TX wheels that have failed, I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the risk of it failing outside of warranty. The reason I decided to get rid of my wheel is that it was nearing the end of it's warranty period, which is only 1 year in North America. So you have some customization options you don't get with the G920. Another great advantage of the TX is there are aftermarket wheels, pedals and shifter to get. The limited edition TX that comes with the T3PA pedals and leather 28 gt wheel rim is what I'd get if you are new to a TX.

The T3PA pedals are supposed to be much better with the conical brake mod and I'm guessing any of the aftermarket TX wheels are light years ahead of the rather cheap feeling stock TX wheel. The brake pedal has a spring but it doesn't offer progressive feedback which makes braking difficult. The paddle shifters are pretty good at least with a satisfying click.

In actual use it isn't as bad, though I found the buttons hard to identify at times. The 458 replica wheel looks like a Fisher Price toy and feels cheap. They have added many features and also improved the functioning of the cooling fan over time.

Also the ability to update drivers on the PC is handy (or a frustration if you're a Mac user like me). The G920 lacks any adjustability on the Xbox One other than in the controller settings. I like how you can change many of the TX settings from the wheel in the middle of the game (such as DOR and wheel sensitivity).

The G920 is technically noisier but I wouldn't say either wheel is inaudible. The belt still makes a whirring noise that is audible. Some people say the TX with it's belt drive is smoother and quieter. Even at half strength it is more powerful than the G920 at 100%. This wheel has much stronger FFB than the Logitech G920. Just a hunch, but I think many of the problems with TX failures (except my first wheel of course) are related to overheating or excessive heat in the motor unit. Never had a problem with the second wheel, though I never ran it at over 50% FFB or vibration. The second TX wheel I had I used for 9 months. It wouldn't register on either the PC or the Xbox so I returned it and bought a second one. It went into a corner, it locked up and made a burning smell with smoke coming out the vents. The first one I got lasted 30 seconds on Forza 5. Just for background, I got my Thrustmaster TX about a year ago. I'm not trying to take a side here on which is better, just starting a conversation that I hope will be helpful to others in choosing which wheel is better than them. They each have their own positives and negatives. I have a Fanatec CSR wheel stand that I used with both wheels and pedals to hard mount everything (which is really a necessity with either wheel).Дisclaimer: These are my personal thoughts, I'm not trying to claim one wheel is better than the other. I've only played the G920 on Forza 5, Forza 6 and Project Cars. I've used the TX on Forza 5, Horizon 2 and Project Cars. I have also only used these on the Xbox One as I don't game on a PC. I haven't owned both at the same time to be able to do a side to side comparison, though I've had each for at least a few months, so I thought I'd share some thoughts as I know many people ask about which wheel to get. I'm probably one of the few users on here who has owned both the Thrustmaster TX and the Logitech G920.
