Notes

The Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel is a high-end direct-drive unit often used on console and PC, with frequent firmware updates and strong plug-and-play expectations. When users describe a "notchy" force-feedback feel, it may be normal cogging perception at certain settings, but it can also indicate bearing wear, shaft alignment issues, or motor/driver problems if it develops over time.

If the wheel is relatively new, first rule out configuration (FFB filters, TrueForce settings) and verify firmware. Hardware repair is usually only sensible if it's a contained part (PSU, quick-release contacts, or an input module) under the threshold.

If the motor assembly or main board is implicated, replacement is typically the safer path. Pricing referenced from Logitech G's official PRO Racing Wheel page.
