Logitech G923 Tester for PlayStation and Xbox Versions

Check both versions of the G923: steering angle and centre, the three pedals for spikes and range, and every button, in Chrome, Edge or Firefox.

Connect your G923, then turn it or press a button

Plug in the USB cable and the power supply and wait for the wheel to calibrate (it turns fully both ways). Browsers only reveal a device once it sends input. Nothing is sent anywhere.

    Set up: find your wheel and pedals

    Wheels and pedals don't have a standard layout in browsers, so the tester asks you to move each control once and finds its axis and direction by itself.

    Connect your wheel to start.

    Steering

    –Find the steering axis first

    Full lock: turn all the way left and right once.

    Rotation (lock to lock)

    Match the range set in your wheel's software (G HUB, Thrustmaster Control Panel, Fanatec's driver): the browser only sees the wheel from one lock to the other.

    Pedals

    Clutch–Not found yet
    Brake–Not found yet
    Throttle–Not found yet

    The thin line marks the furthest each pedal has gone. Glitches are readings that leap and come straight back, the typical sign of a worn or dirty potentiometer.

    Shifter and paddles

    +Right paddle

    Paddles and gears are ordinary buttons: teach the tester which is which.

    All buttons and axes · 0 buttons pressed

    Press every button once: each one gets a mark when it registers. Numbers start at 1, as in Windows' game controller settings.

    Health tests

    1. Rest and centre

    Measures where the wheel and each pedal sit when nobody touches them, and how much the readings jitter. Line the wheel up straight first. Pedal pass: under 2% at rest and ±0.5% jitter.

    Not run yet.

    2. Pedal linearity and spikes

    Press one pedal slowly and steadily all the way down over 2–3 seconds, then let go. The plot shows the output over time: it should rise without jumps, drops or flat spots.

    Not run yet.

    3. Steering sweep

    Turn to full left lock, start, then turn slowly and steadily to full right lock (3–5 seconds). Finds spikes, jumps and dead spots in the steering sensor and checks both locks are reached.

    Not run yet.

    Force feedback

    Force feedback can't be tested in a browser. The Gamepad API only knows gamepad rumble, not a wheel's motor, so websites can't make a wheel push back, centre itself or vibrate. Use your wheel's own software: G HUB, the Thrustmaster Control Panel (joy.cpl, Properties) or Fanatec's driver each have a force feedback test.

    Two wheels, one tester

    The G923 comes in two versions: one for PlayStation and PC, one for Xbox and PC. They differ in the buttons and in how they connect to consoles, not in what matters here: both turn 900° lock to lock, both come with throttle, brake and clutch pedals, and both take Logitech’s Driving Force Shifter. On a computer, both need their power supply, USB and G HUB.

    The versions report different USB ids, which the tester recognises: 046d:c266 and 046d:c267 for the PlayStation version, 046d:c26d and 046d:c26e for the Xbox one (SDL’s wheel list). If yours shows up as a Logitech wheel in compatibility mode instead, install G HUB and reconnect it.

    Running the tests

    1. Let the wheel finish its start-up calibration with your hands off.
    2. Follow the set-up: a quarter turn right, then throttle, brake and clutch.
    3. Rest and centre: line the wheel up straight and let go of everything. More than 2° off centre means the calibration found the wrong centre: power-cycle the wheel with your hands clear.
    4. Pedal linearity: press each pedal slowly over two or three seconds. The G923’s progressive brake makes the curve steepen towards the end; that is design, not a fault. Spikes, jumps or flat spots are faults.
    5. Steering sweep: from full left to full right, slowly. Both locks should be reached.

    What the browser can’t see

    TRUEFORCE, force feedback and the wheel’s rev LEDs are outputs that only games and Logitech’s software can drive, so the report lists force feedback as “can’t be tested in a browser”. Everything the wheel sends, axes and buttons, is covered here.

    Button numbers count from 1, as in Windows' game controller settings; if yours differ, use the Learn buttons. USB ids come from the Linux kernel's device list and SDL; the tester shows the id your browser reports under the device's name.
