Dont all the pedals suck ?
Which force feedback wheels have decent pedals
A poster asked whether any FF wheel came with good pedals. The Microsoft Force Feedback Wheel's pedals were widely praised, opinions on Logitech and ACT Labs pedals were split, and some users transplanted pedals from other wheels. ACT Labs' Raymond added that staff there played with shoes on.

No problems with MSFF.
Yeah! MSFF's pedals are good.

I know everyone is going to call me a moron, but I actually like my LWFF
pedals.
Yes, the travel is short and the springs are soft.
I like it. I race with no shoes on, and the light pedals really give me a
lot of control.

Act Labs, Guillemot Ferrari, MSFF all have great pedals, and about half the
people who own them even like the LWFF pedals. I think it all depends on
what you race and then what you get used to.

The hardware is good. But it has only 64 degree each.
You'll feel inputs are jumping.

No. The Microsoft Force Feedback Wheel has excellent pedals. Best I've seen,
by far.
They feel solid and have great spring feedback.
The base could be a little heavier however, as it does slid around a bit.
Best regards,

Moron. Hey, I didn't want to disappoint you. :)
BTW, Love the pedals on my MSFF. 1.5 years of hard service (so far) & no
spring failures! Up yours, TM!

My Act Labs pedals SUCK. I love the wheel. The best FF I've
ever felt. But the pedals are terrible. I've had them apart several
times, greased them, adjusted the bolts etc. etc. The brake pedal is
very sticky and hard to control in a sim like GPL. Has no feel to it
either. Does that Act Labs guy still hang out here? Have you guys
come out with a fix for the pedals yet? If so, it would be a kick ass
combo.

The pedals with my Force RS were a little tight when I first got it, but
after about a week of use they loosened up and now they feel great.

Thats what I find anyway.

I've been using mine a few months now. I'll pop them apart again and
see if can it any better than it is. It's been a while since I last
adjusted things.
Thanks!

Hello GraDee,
Just some trivia for you. When we play on our "breaks," we all play
with our shoes on. I actually prefer to play with my shoes on and
would do so at home if my girlfriend didn't kick my ass.
Besides, there are some guys here at work that would kill us if they
took off their shoes to play. :)

I LOVE the pedals with the LWFF wheel.
I always race with stocking feet, you get way less feel with shoes.
I find the springs are plenty strong enough for me, and there's just
enough throw in them. I can actually hold the car on the edge when
braking now in GPL.
They have a huge base with place on left to rest your brake foot, and
lots of platform space for big feet like mine.
The logitech unit is extremely precise, and always calibrates exact
and smoothly.
The wheel does bug me with a bit of a plastic grinding feeling and
sound when turned, but it works well, feels good, has plenty of force,
and is very very smooth even with sensitivity and linearity full
maxed.
The logitech pedals are cool.

What I like to know is that is there a single hotshoe who uses original LWFF
pedals? I know there is few using MSFF...
IMO that makes a _BIG_ difference...
What I think would be the best (what I've heard etc.) option is LWFF with CH
pedals...(Haven't tried CH pedals myself),
because I think that LWFF has better wheel than MSFF, but MSFF has IMO
_MUCH_ better pedals(tried both).

I didn't like my LWFF pedals at all, so I bought the cheap Microsoft
non-FF wheel and just moved the LWFF wiring to the Microsoft pedals.
It took only about a half hour, and it's a pretty sanitary looking
installation once it's done.
I'm VERY happy with this combination.

I have the ACT Force Rs feedback wheel, and I didn't like the pedal. The
throw on them was too short so I found it hard to feather the brake or gas.
However the base is good and steady. I have since put the pedals from my old
Thrustmaster non-ff wheel onto my FF wheel and am very happy with this
combination.

That was my impression of of the LWFF-pedals too. I also drove the stuff
with the shoes off. However, there was something wrong with the wheel (axis
had too much play, causing a locking of the wheel) and I returned it for
repairs. After 8 weeks I got a call, and guess what, I've got a completely
new one.
This one is different from the first, that's fot sure. Apart from a
marvelously precise wheel, the pedals are a lot more stiffer than the first
one. No bare foot driving anymore. I've got a rectangular imprint in my
right foot after 25 laps of racing ! Probably a 'thin' shoe should do the
trick.

I guess everyone will think I'm a moron too because I actually like the
pedals on my Act Labs Force RS. Only took a couple of days to get used to
and now I think they are great.

I switched from TSW2, the

LWFF pedals. Can't say how long they will last though.
