What brand? My Logitech g923 has been thrashed but operates fine still, especially the progressive brake pedal.

Supposed to be. These are pretty much brand new. Going to take it apart and see if I can get it working.

How long is the warranty? I'd contact them if it's still in the period.

It’s well within. Just got it in Feb.

On a side note, surprised how playable GT7 is with a controller. Even with all the countersteer assist and stuff off it’s not terrible. ACC is unplayable though.

Yeah it's not bad at all with a controller. I do find myself now wanting a steering wheel though just for the really challenging races for more fine tuned steering but that's just me. I was able to do all the menus and many of the missions with just the controller.

Contact them before messing with it. Otherwise they'll say the warranty was voided.

I had to turn off the adaptive triggers in order to actually do well. I'm still using the controller to this day.

Drifting, I like to use controller more than steering. Some lazy nights, I prefer to use controller to race lol

Magically, it started working. I went to work to grab my laptop to try a firmware update. Decided to power it of first and now it works.

Quite addicted to GT7. It’s a bit arcade-y but it’s lots of fun.

Some Gran Turismo 2 vibes (yes, I know Fuji wasn't in GT2). And yes, I bought the R34 GT500 twice just to have the two liveries at the same time. LOL

If going to the track is something you're remotely interested in doing, I wouldn't let GT7 dissuade you from it, haha. IRL is NOWHERE near as difficult as it feels in GT7. Being a video game, and with most of us on a limited "setup" budget, you're deprived of so much sensory input. And that sensory input makes all the difference. When you can feel the car rotating based on your inputs, and get tire chatter through the steering wheel, it makes things much easier. Naturally that varies from car to car.
