Configuring your Logitech Profiler to work seamlessly with iRacing is essential for ensuring optimal performance and compatibility between your Logitech hardware and the iRacing simulation software.
The Logitech Profiler allows you to customize settings for your Logitech gaming peripherals, including steering wheels and pedals, to enhance your racing experience.
In this guide, we’ll outline the step-by-step process of setting up Logitech Profiler with iRacing, providing you with the necessary instructions to maximize the functionality and responsiveness of your Logitech hardware.

Step 1: Launch Logitech Profiler
Begin by launching the Logitech Profiler software on your computer. You can typically find the Logitech Profiler in your list of installed programs or by searching for it in the Windows Start menu. Double-click on the Logitech Profiler icon to open the software and access its settings.
Once the Logitech Profiler is open, navigate to the Options menu and select “Global Device Settings” from the dropdown menu.
This option allows you to configure global settings that apply to all Logitech gaming devices connected to your computer, including steering wheels, pedals, and other peripherals.
Step 3: Adjust Overall Effects Strength
In the Global Device Settings window, locate the option for “Overall Effects Strength” and set it to 100%.
This setting determines the overall strength of force feedback effects transmitted to your Logitech steering wheel during gameplay.
Setting it to 100% ensures that force feedback effects are delivered at their maximum intensity, providing a more immersive racing experience.
Step 4: Set Spring Effects Strength
Next, adjust the “Spring Effects Strength” setting to 0%. Spring effects simulate the resistance and feedback felt when turning the steering wheel, but for iRacing, it’s typically recommended to disable this effect to allow the game’s force feedback system to provide more accurate and realistic feedback.
Step 5: Configure Damper Effect Strength
Similarly, set the “Damper Effect Strength” setting to 0%. Damper effects simulate the dampening or resistance encountered when turning the steering wheel, but disabling this effect ensures that the force feedback effects from iRacing are not interfered with or overridden by the Logitech Profiler settings.
Step 6: Disable Centering Spring
Ensure that the option to “Enable Centering Spring in Force Feedback Games” is unchecked. Centering spring settings apply a force that centers the steering wheel when released, but for iRacing, it’s preferable to let the game’s force feedback system handle centering effects for a more natural and immersive driving experience.
Step 7: Set Degrees of Rotation
Finally, set the “Degrees of Rotation” setting to 900%. This setting determines the maximum rotation angle of your Logitech steering wheel and should match the in-game setting in iRacing.
Setting it to 900% ensures that the steering wheel’s rotation matches the virtual steering input in iRacing accurately.
