Logitech G RS50 Base (PC)
8 Nm direct drive wheel base with TRUEFORCE, PC version
Description
The Logitech G RS50 Base (PC) is a direct drive wheel base with up to 8 Nm of peak torque and Logitech's TRUEFORCE haptics, which turn in-game physics and audio data into high-frequency feedback at the rim.
Hardware. The base measures 161 × 185 × 180 mm and weighs 4.4 kg. Its aluminum is made with low-carbon (renewable-energy) production, and Logitech lists 74% certified recycled plastic in the plastic parts. Rotation goes up to 2700°, and an onboard OLED display lets you change settings such as FFB filter, dampener, TRUEFORCE audio level and steering angle without opening software.
Mounting. Four T-nuts and bolts are included for rig mounting; the Table Clamp for RS50 is sold separately for desks.
Ecosystem. The base takes any RS or PRO Series wheel through the RS Wheel Hub or the PRO GT D Rim, and the RS QR Adapter for aftermarket rims on PC. With the Logitech G Racing Adapter you can keep G Series pedals and the Driving Force Shifter. This PC version does not work on PlayStation; pairing it with the Xbox version of the RS Wheel Hub adds Xbox support.
Features & highlights
Driving style
The RS50 is a first step into direct drive for drivers coming from a G29, G920 or G923. Its 8 Nm and TRUEFORCE detail suit GT3 and touring cars in Assetto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate and Automobilista 2, and Tom's Guide calls it a strong mid-range option between beginner and intermediate racers. Formula and rally fans can pair it with the RS Formula or RS Round wheels.
Best for PC racers moving up from gear-driven wheels who want a compact desk-friendly DD base; less suited for heavy GT rims or drivers who want 12 Nm+ headroom, where the PRO DD11 or bigger bases fit better.
Build quality
The base uses a low-carbon aluminum housing and recycled plastics around a direct drive motor, at 4.4 kg. Reviewers describe the RS line as premium-feeling for the price; Logitech notes the casing can get warm on long full-force sessions and stays at or below about 60°C.
Software
The RS50 is configured in Logitech G HUB on Windows 10/11 (force feedback, TRUEFORCE, rotation, dampener, filter, LIGHTSYNC on the hub) and through its OLED display. A PRO compatibility mode makes it appear as the PRO Racing Wheel in games that already support it. Reviewers note G HUB lacks advanced options such as slew rate. SimHub and Crew Chief run alongside on PC.
