Logitech G29 Driving Force: Logitech G29 calibrates by turning hard left (-450°) on startup but is

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 19:28:08 -0700

Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Logitech G29 (approximately 5 years old).

When I power it on, it does not perform the normal startup calibration (left → right → center). Instead, it immediately turns hard to the left (approximately -450°) and stops.

Here is what I have already tested:

The wheel is detected correctly in Windows (joy.cpl).
The wheel is detected correctly in Logitech G HUB.
The steering axis is centered correctly (50%) when the wheel is physically centered.
All buttons work normally.
I tested it on both PC (Forza Horizon) and PS4 (Gran Turismo 7), and the same issue occurs.
I tried different USB ports and different power outlets.
I reinstalled G HUB.
I downgraded G HUB to the March 2021 version and also tested the latest version.
The firmware is up to date.
The issue remains exactly the same.

There is no visible physical damage to the wheel.

Could this be caused by a faulty encoder wheel/position sensor, the force feedback motor, or the main PCB?

Has anyone experienced the same issue and successfully repaired it?

Thank you!

Logitech G29 Driving Force: Why does one button on my wheel activate all the others and disconnect

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 21:56:53 -0700

When pressing either the X or square button on my g29 as they are the only buttons that work (although the steering pedals and gear shifter work as usual) on the steering wheel. Once pressed it shows as if multiple buttons are pressed although you are only pressing the one and the wheel disconnects and recalibrates. Any help is appreciated!

Logitech G29 Driving Force: Why are buttons 1-10 all assigned to A on g920 xbox on pc?

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 20:18:33 -0700

My g920 randomly assigned buttons 1-10 to the A button and i have found people with similar issues saying its a wiring issue. When calibrating in windows 10 it shows no output for buttons 1-10 but they all show when A is pressed. The Xbox button, clutch, gas, brake and steering work properly. Im on a pc using the g920 xbox version.

I encountered a problem with the lower arrow, which is that it presses all the time and for no reason. I dismantled the steering wheel and checked the leather that is located under the arrows, but it does not have a problem, so please help me in solving the problem.
