Aaron's right -- not about the fact that the pedals suck (I don't
think they do, personally), but, rather, about the fact that you do
have to raise your foot/leg to operate the pedals. As I said in my
review, you can't just pivot your foot on the heel with these pedals,
but it's not much different than it is in a real car (a bit MORE
realistic in some ways, actually). Aaron's opinion is right for him,
obviously, but although I found the pedals difficult to adapt to at
first, after I "learned" how to use them, I found them to be very easy
to use. When I went back to my TSW2 pedals (or the ACT Labs pedals),
I had to "re-learn" how to use them all over again. Again, this is a
learning curve issue, I think, but when it comes to things like this,
everybody's opinion is right.
