G923 FFB locks up when G535 USB dongle is connected (PS5 F1 24)
description of the problem
I’m experiencing a reproducible haptic feedback issue in EA SPORTS F1 24 on the PS5 Slim when using a Logitech G923 steering wheel.
When the Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED USB dongle is plugged in, the steering wheel’s haptic feedback becomes extremely stiff, as if ‘stuck’, and loses its usual vibrations. The steering wheel still works physically, but the haptic feedback is unusable (a single constant and extremely intense force).
My setup
Console: PS5 Slim
Game: EA SPORTS F1 24
Wheel: Logitech G923 TRUEFORCE (PS4/PC version used on PS5 via backward compatibility)
Headset: Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless (USB dongle)
Connection: both devices connected via rear USB ports on PS5
Steps to reproduce
1. Unplug all USB devices from the PS5
2. Connect only the Logitech G923
3. Launch F1 24 → haptic feedback works normally
4. Connect the Logitech G535 USB dongle
Once the headset is detected, the haptic feedback becomes extremely stiff / ‘stuck’. It’s really annoying...
Expected behavior
Force feedback should remain stable and consistent regardless of USB audio device connection.
Actual behavior
Steering wheel becomes extremely heavy
Loss of vibration
FFB feels “stuck” or overridden
Only fixed strong force remains
Issue disappears when G535 dongle is removed and wheel is reinitialized
Further information
The issue does NOT occur with PS4 games (tested with WRC and F1 2019)
The issue occurs consistently on the PS5 Slim
Restarting the USB devices temporarily restores normal operation
Conclusion
This appears to be a USB device interaction issue between Logitech LIGHTSPEED audio devices and force feedback initialization in F1 24 on PS5.
Hope I will help people if they had this issue too.
