Depends on how your mounting the wheel. I have a setup over here if you wanna pop over and have a look

g25 can though, as you have switch to turn from gate/ sequenmtial

say that, if you not used it much maybe it's not worth having and just go for the g27

it is comfortable but when on the PS3 i have to have the sound coming out the TV and not the chair as im using hdmi and not the analogue cables that the chair tends to use.

I play sound thru the chair when streaming hd movies through my tv via laptop and it sounds great but only getting 1 channel instead of 2 channels (could be down to the wire im using).

All in all - they are great for gaming and the bass massages your back which is nice

Get the g25! looks better and feels better due to not having the horrible chunky bit across the middle. The only advantage the G27 has, is the motors are a little bit quieter!

only reason i went for g25 was you could switch it to sequential shifting aswell.wonder why the g27 didnt do that.still at £199 the g27 is an amazing buy.id like a go on both them to decide.

I read a review saying jade the gearbox wear, making the h pattern worse and sloppy , don't know how true that is?

g25 has 6 speed, and I've never had trouble with the throw lol.

I've used mine a hell of alot (and dropped it quite alot too ) and the h-pattern is still brilliant
