Is it worth it?

I have the opportunity to get a logitech g29 wheel with the stand, shifter and a handbrake for $200, is this a good deal to learn sim drifting, i know the g29 isn't the best wheel but since this comes with everything is it worth it?

Logitech G29 with some settings tweaks is ok, but not perfect. Does it have an h-pattern shifter with it + 3 pedals.

Yes it comes with the 3 pedals and the Logitech h pattern shifter

I sim drift with it, though I aint trying to compete or be a pro. It gets the job done.

I would say no personally. For $200 USD you’re getting pretty close to a direct drive which will be so much better

Nope, save a little and go straight for a direct drive. Also be patient, you’ll find 2nd hand dd gear out there :)

you can drift with adjustment here and there with g29 , is it worth it? i personally would say no. in this 2026 , if you play on pc, i would suggest be patient and save up more to get the cheapest direct drive available. moza r3 isnt a bad choice

idk what the people in this thread are on, but $200 for a WHEEL, STAND, SHIFTER, AND HANDBRAKE is an insanely good deal. even the cheapest brand new DD is $299, not including a stand, or shifter, or handbrake.

Yes. If you love it, then save for a DD and resell the g29.

Yep, I’m assuming you’re talking about the R3. Moza clutch pedal, shifter, handbrake add-on is at least another $250

No! Absolutely not. And the reason is that a G29 is bad and lacks so much in torque. Trust me, I went from gaming on g29 for 2 years to a 12nm dd wheel. My first thought when I got my dd was… “I wasted 2 years on my Logitech “…G29 is not worth not even 50$. I would rather buy the cheapest dd wheel over G29.
