The ideal first wheel or budget purchase for Xbox or PC racers
It's been around for a lot of years, but the Logitech G920 is timeless. Technology may have advanced, direct drive may now be a thing on Xbox, but ultimately, this is where you should start. If you're on a budget, or you're looking for your first ever racing wheel, you can't do any better than this.

The G920 was actually Logitech's first ever wheel for the Xbox, and while it's since been updated in the G923, this is still as great a wheel now as it ever was. It comes with a set of good quality metal pedals, no plastic, and the wheel itself is trimmed in a soft-touch finish that feels a lot like leather.
It doesn't try to be too fancy, either. The layout is perfect, the wheel is round and not oversized, and the metal shifters on either side are large enough that they're easy to use without ever having to stretch your fingers.
The G920 is a belt drive wheel, which means that while the ultimate accuracy isn't there, it's much more forgiving than a direct drive wheel. It's also more forgiving than some more advanced belt driven wheels such as Thrustmaster's TS-XW. It's still powerful enough to catch you out, but not so demanding that you'll need to be a professional athlete to have the strength to turn it.
It's also a great wheel to use fixed to a desk. The included mount is sturdy and easy to use, and because it's not the absolute strongest out there, it won't disintegrate the rest of your setup. Oh, and if you're a fan of stick shift, there's an optional shifter available that's plug and play, again, both for Xbox and PC.
I may have personally moved on from the Logitech G920, but it remains arguably my favorite wheel ever. It's going on for 8 years old, but it's as good as it ever was. When you can snag one this cheap, it's an absolute no-brainer. I loved it when I reviewed it and I still love it today.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Prime Day is Amazon's annual sales extravaganza that, you guessed it, is exclusive to Prime Members. So, to grab the best discounts from the retailer, you will need to sign up to Amazon Prime. If you're a new member, though, you get 30-days for free, so you can sign up, get the deals, and if you're not happy, just cancel it at any time during that trial period.
Amazon isn't the only retailer with massive discounts, though. Prime Day has become almost like Black Friday, but in the summer, and competitors are all having their own adjacent events to cash in on the action. Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Dell, are just some of the big U.S. names that you can score discounts for on Prime Day, so even without Prime, you can save yourself a bundle of cash.
