Logitech G Heavy Equipment Side Panel

The Logitech 945-000031 is a side panel designed for players who want physical, instinctive control inside farming, trucking, and flight simulation games. Part of the Logitech G Heavy Equipment line, it places a sturdy loader stick, an array of buttons, and convenient switches next to your steering wheel or yoke, so on-screen machinery feels easier to handle.

The loader stick moves on vertical, horizontal, and twist axes, giving you precise command over buckets, cranes, or camera angles. A built-in mode switch doubles every axis and button assignment, letting you jump between primary and secondary functions without pausing the game or reaching for the keyboard.

More than 25 programmable buttons surround the stick, ready for tasks such as toggling lights, opening in-game maps, or setting cruise speed. Each control is spaced for quick, blind access, helping you stay focused on the simulation rather than menu navigation.

Setup is straightforward. Plug the panel into any USB 2.0 Type A port on a Windows or Mac computer and start playing—no extra drivers or software are required. The 5.9 foot cable offers flexibility when arranging your cockpit, and the unit’s 6.6 by 13.3 by 7.6 inch footprint with a 2.6 pound weight keeps it stable on a desk or mounting surface.

Whether you are cultivating fields in Farming Simulator, hauling cargo across long highways, or managing a virtual flight deck, the panel gives you tactile feedback and organized controls that make complex in-game tasks feel natural and engaging.
