Hi @RicardoNakajima4569. I'd be happy to assist you with your compatibility inquiry about the DriveFX Racing Wheel. You should be able to use this on PC to play supported games.
Logitech unveiled two force feedback-equipped racing wheels today, designed to work with PlayStation, Xbox and PC platforms. Both peripherals include dual-motor force feedback to simulate real driving and are expected to ship later this year.
The G29 Driving Force is designed for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and is slated for release in July at a suggested retail price of $399.99 — the same price as the PS4 and $150 more than the PS3. For the price, buyers will get a hand-stitched leather-coated steering wheel, stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals. An included mounting kit will allow players to mount the G29 to racing seats and tables. The separate floor pedal unit allows for acceleration, shifting and breaking, while an LED unit on the wheel will tell you when to shift. 'Our fans have been asking for a PS4 wheel since launch of the system,' said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of the Logitech gaming business.
'For the past 18 months we have been working with Sony to deliver a fully-licensed racing wheel and I am excited to announce it today.' The G290 Driving Force will work with Xbox One and PC and is scheduled for an October release for $399.99. An optional add-on six-speed manual shifter will be available for $59.99. Both will be featured in the Xbox booth at E3 2015 next week. After the, the racing wheel is $50 more than that console.
PlayStation and Xbox have long histories with racing games. The former's long-running series has been around since the original PlayStation.
The latest game in the series, was released for PS3 in late 2013. The PS4's most notable racing game, was released last October. Microsoft and developer Turn 10 Studios answered with a realistic driving simulator of their own, the Forza series.
The next game, is scheduled to be released later this year on Xbox One. Press play above to watch Logitech's introductory video for the new racing wheels.
I have the same situation and tried to open the pedal of Logitech DriveFX. It got four pins functioning, one for VCC, one for Ground, and two for the signal of 'brake' and 'gas'. If the Microsoft one is having the same logic, four pins of the RJ11 should be used only, but I don't know which four pins it is using, anyone have better knowledge of this wheel?

I have found the mapping of pins of the RJ11 of MS wheel from this post: from left to right 123456 1 unknown 2 Gas pedal signal 3 power (ground or 5+) 4 unknown 5 Break pedal signal 6 power (ground or 5+) So both Logitech and MS wheel use those four pins and it seems easy to map them, I will try and report here later.

Wish me luck. 2 Answers SOURCE: I've see a lot of posts where people have had issues with the Microsoft racing pedals not working properly. Usually the throttle just races away when it is suppose to be at idle. I had this problem and after taking apart the pedal set more than once to try and fix it - it's made so cheaply - I gave up. So, if you want a good fix, here is what I did.
I got a set of Madcats 2 pedals, which are X-box compatible (craigslist) - other pedal sets may work but then you would have to figure out the wiring on your own which took me considerable time NOTE: These do not have to be the Madcats pedal set from the force feedback type, just the standard pedal set will work. I went to home depot and bought a wall phone jack. I then took the bottom off the Madcats pedals (the Phillips screws are under the square rubber pieces which you can peel off with a small blade - common screwdriver) and you will see there are 4 wires going to the cable that normally plugs into the MC2 wheel.
Pop the face plate off from the phone jack but don't throw it away and cut the cable on the inside of the MC pedal set about 2' from the grommet. You can pull the grommet out of the slot and discard the cable. Carefully strip the insulation on the 4 wires (Brown, Yellow, Blue and White). I've done the hard part, which took me about 5 hours so here are the correct wire color match-ups.
The phone jack has Green, Black, Red and Yellow wire hook-ups. Connect the MC-Yellow to PJ-Green; MC-Blue to PJ-Black; MC-Brown to PJ-Red;MC-White to PJ-Yellow. Now you can plug in the phone wire connection from the wheel into the phone jack and try out the MC Pedals. What I did next was cut a hole in the back of the MC pedal case (make sure it is not in-line with where the bottom plate weight goes. I used a hole saw just smaller than the phone jack and then used a razor knife to form a good fit fro the phone jack. Remember the face plate? Get yourself a good pair of sturdy Scissors and cut around the circle on the face plate.
Now put the phone jack in the hole you made from the inside of the pedal housing and snap that little disk you just cut out from the face plate onto the phone jack from the outside of the pedal base. Now you may want to glue the phone jack in place on the inside of the pedal base just so it stays put. I used epoxy putty because it kneads like play-do and is easy to push on place.
Also it sets up in just a few minutes. Now just put the bottom plate back on the MC pedals and put the screws back in.
You will find that the MC pedals do not have the same problems that the Microsoft pedals did like the sticking throttle problem and they are much more responsive. Posted on Jul 08, 2012.
