Looks like the optical encoder wheel is broken. You can get a cheap replacement here:

However if the encoder wheel is slightly cracked, but otherwise fine, you can just glue it in place. I had a similar hair crack on the G25 and quick movements made the encoder wheel loose grip on the shaft. You can check if the misalignment gets worse when you do rapid movements in a game.

Those wheels are hardly meant for professional gameplay. They are entry level wheels and as such have a limited life expectancy. Want more? Spend more!

Do you work for logitech pipa? That's a good motto

Common sense. Quality very rarely comes cheap.

Just got more luck. I send my wheel back to the company for repairs where it arrived two days ago but now they have lost the package, and there is no progress until they find it... What should have taken 3 days may now take weeks...

Lol jaja... and if they dont find one? They pay another?

Well over the phone I did try to get myself a G29 but I had to break one more before I could return it. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED xD (Easy challenge)
No also they have this policy that you can return a product within 14 days and the coolest is that once they send me a new wheel back the receive says it bought that day, so I am gonna try return it and see if that works and then get the G29 for a few bucks extra!

Arent the g27(or 25) shifter compatible with g29? I know that have diferent keys, but the gears should work. .

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - MousemanLV - 2015-08-07 09:03

They are.

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - Don - 2015-08-07 23:59

But if I sell/return my G27 I dont have a shifter anymore :-P

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - Borja - 2015-08-08 00:11

M... lets say that logitech lost the shifter jaja Smile

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - Don - 2015-08-10 23:28

I can't believe it! They are sending me a new one.
Sadly I am still not lucky yet, they send it to the wrong address....
I called them, I put a notice inside and on the package even on an A4 page with like font size 40 letters about my address change but they still send it to the wrong address... So now it will take an extra few days to get it back and a few phone calls....

Am I really that unlucky? Tongue

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - KooKoo - 2015-08-10 23:30

No you're actually lucky you get a new one, mine is just sitting no where to fix it lol Sad

Yeah I am lucky that my wheel is just over 1 month old so it still had warranty you mean xD
But you have a T500RS now right? Wink

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - KooKoo - 2015-08-11 09:48

Yes I do & looking for a shifter, basically no store sells it.

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - Don - 2015-08-12 14:25

Just when I thought I was getting lucky with my wheel on it's way to my house! Only it should have been delivered between 12 and 2pm, it's getting close to 5 now and still no package! Even saw a delivery van drive by my house earlier today! But lets hope it will still come today! Sad

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - Don - 2015-08-12 15:04

RE: Logitech G27 just over one month old - KooKoo - 2015-08-12 15:33

Pro tip: don't open it and sell it for a G29.
