I am getting ready to order the TSW Universal 2 pedal controller to go with
my logitech momo racing force steering wheel. I notice that the controller
comes with 2 10dk pots. I do not know that much about the pots. Would it
be worth it to upgrade to the ETI pots or will I not notice much of a
difference? Which pots last longer, if either? I'd also like to know if
some of you have had good or bad experiences with anything made by TSW.
Thanks!
Thanks ahead,

I don't know. If anybody does please post.

I have occasionally had to replace the pots, and have found that the "Spec"
pots (higher end for gameport based peds) are well worth it. They last longer
and are a bit more precise. On my TSW wheel and peds, replacing the posts is
very easy, and I do not consider myself to be mechanically inclined.
I've also found TSW's e-mail support to be very good, as well.
From my experience, you won't regret dealing with TSW.

All I have are good experiences with my TSW and with the company. My wheel
has been rock solid for a good number of years now. I just have to do the
occasional pot change, but that's it. I had some trouble with my paddle
shifter wiring block, but they sent me a replacement wiring block
immediately.

So the short answer is, don't worry about the range of the pots, TSW will
take care of you. Just go with the ETIs and call it good.

Do you think I would be ok using the 2 pedal control with the gameport? I
am not really looking forward to buying that USB pedal control box for $70.

Seconded - to both of those statments.

I'm using the 50k spec pots into a game port (audigy) using win xp. I get a
tiny twitch once in a great while and its nothing that effects my driving...
Maybe its kept me from that 1:04 flat at WG though. :|

I had a worn steering pot that I had been too lazy to replace take me out of an
online GP event. Twitched on the back straight, sent me off track and into the
fence - race over in less than 10 laps out of 108...
Hmm...two mechanical failures in two GP races - steering and clutch... I need
better mechianics. :-)
