The RS50 System pairs an 8 Nm direct drive base with TRUEFORCE, an RS Wheel Hub and an RS Round Wheel. It adds a table clamp, rig hardware and an integrated quick release, and Evetech sells the set for R12,999 including VAT.
The Logitech G RS50 System for PC has a short spec sheet, but each line on it does a different job at the desk. The core is an 8 Nm direct drive base, the hub, the round rim, a table clamp and an integrated quick release. Pedals are not included, and the set is the PC version. Here is what each part does, what it means for how you race, and what to plan for before the box arrives.
The set pairs an 8 Nm direct drive base with TRUEFORCE, the RS Round Wheel and the RS Wheel Hub. The table clamp, rig hardware and integrated quick release come along too, and the set costs R12,999 with VAT in. Pedals are not in the box, and this is the PC version, so plan pedals and desk before you order.
Direct drive means the motor sits in the base and drives the wheel directly, rather than through belts or gears. That gives the base a clean, immediate feel, and the force it sends to the rim is the thing you feel when the front tyres start to load. At 8 Nm, the base sits at the strong end of PC wheels.
Torque is best understood as headroom. The base can push back with that much force, and the game decides how much of it to use. A powerful base fed a plain game profile can feel forceful yet flat, so the figure describes the hardware, not every title.
TRUEFORCE is Logitech's name for its higher-detail force feedback technology. Where a game supports it, TRUEFORCE feeds finer texture into the rim, such as surface changes, kerbs and engine detail. The result is more information through the rim, especially on rough surfaces, where a simple resistance curve would feel flat.
It is not a switch that changes the car or the lap. It sits on top of the 8 Nm base, so the force is already there and TRUEFORCE only adds the finer detail. You get the benefit only in games that support it, and the strength of the overall force feedback still needs setting. Before judging the detail, confirm your games support TRUEFORCE and get the overall strength where you want it.
The hub joins base and rim, and the round rim in the set means you will not need to source one on day one. The integrated quick release lets you attach and remove the rim, and it should lock fully before every session.
To test the quick release, take hold of the rim at top and bottom and check for play. A fully locked rim feels solid, while a half-locked one moves slightly under load. Make this check part of your setup routine, because a rim that is not fully seated can feel like a problem with the base. Run the check at the start of every session, and again after 3 sessions of hard use.
Up to 2700 degrees is the rating, or seven and a half turns. That extra travel only helps the cars and games that use it. Typical road cars use about two to three turns, lock to lock, so the setting you choose in the game matters more than the rated number.
The table clamp and rig hardware mean you do not have to build a mount from scratch. The clamp suits a solid desk edge, and the desk top is the first thing to check. A desk top of 25 mm or more resists a hard push far better than a thin one, and a light flat-pack top can flex enough to make the rig feel loose.
Compare wheel options under racing simulation, and see simulation accessories for the extras that often go with a rig. The sim racing range shows how the wheel fits alongside other gear.
Budget for pedals as part of the full setup, since they are not included. The base alone is R12,999 with VAT in, so the pedals are the second number to set. A wheel with no pedals is only half a driving rig, and the pedals shape how the car settles under braking. Plan the pedals at the same time as the base, so the total cost is clear before you commit.
Also plan the desk and cables. The clamp needs a solid edge, the PC needs a clear run of cable to the base, and the rim needs room to turn without touching your knees. Measure the desk and the floor space before the box arrives, and you will avoid a rushed rearrangement later.
Base, hub, round rim, clamp, rig hardware and quick release all come in one set. It is the PC version, and pedals are sold separately.
Not everywhere. Each game decides whether it supports the feature, so check your titles first.
Expect R12,999 with VAT in. Pedals are extra.
No, the table clamp and rig hardware are included. Check that your desk edge is solid enough, because hard steering tests it quickly.

For the new tax year, a silent mini PC is worth buying when it gives a clean work setup at a defensible price. Minisforum NAB6 Lite at R4,150, plus UM750L and AI-X1-255 around R4,600, gives SA buyers concrete starting points.

Windows Sticky Keys shortcut can respond to repeated Shift presses during play. Review the keyboard accessibility setting and its shortcut separately, so you can stop accidental prompts while preserving an aid you may need.
Windows mouse double click speed changes how close together two clicks must be recognised. Test a small timing adjustment before replacing a mouse, and distinguish a slow double-click from a switch that registers extra clicks.
Windows can show a location ring when you press Ctrl, making a pointer easier to find across busy screens. Enable the Mouse Properties option and test it before changing display hardware or confusing it with typing-cursor markers.
RTX 5080 Super with a 1000W PSU is a generous pairing if the unit is quality and correctly cabled. SA buyers should still check CPU draw, connector type, airflow, efficiency, and upgrade plans.
FSR 4 vs FSR 3.1 for streaming on twitch and youtube should be judged by fit, not a single winner. Compare compatibility, latency, capacity, upgrade path, cost planning, and South African setup needs.
RTX 5090 for Hades 2 at 4K is high-end, but settings, CPU balance, and monitor goals still decide the feel. SA gamers should match the card to the full PC before choosing extra GPU headroom.
RTX 5070 Ti Super too expensive? Cheaper SA should solve the exact workload without overbuying. Compare nearby options by GPU tier, VRAM, cooling, and PSU headroom, local warranty path, and total build balance before moving to a product page.
