Right on, I love my set as well. Excellent imvestment in my opinion. Do you have them mounted in a rig?
I currently have the Fantec Clubsport pedals but am not a huge fan. Are these pedals robust and respond well to the adjustments of brake pressue?
That's what I had before these as well. They're about as robust as it gets, pretty much built like a tank. It may not be the easiest upgrade though depending on what your current rig is like.
Firstly the load cell is WAY stronger that the Fanatecs. This is a good thing, obviously, but it does mean you will need to make sure these are mounted solidly in place. I upgraded to a full 80/20 rig at the same time so it wasn't an issue for me, but I can't really see any way these could be used in the same manner my old pedals were, just on the carpet. They also do not come pre-assembled and ready to rock right out of the box. Each pedal unit is separate and will require mounting to either your rig or the optional mounting plate they sell. It took me a solid hour or two before I had them up and running.
Also, these are niche, enthusiast built pedals and it really shows in the software department. There are no real drivers for the pedals, just the controller board they are wired to, and it can be a bit of a hassle calibrating the load cell since it is so powerful. It's so sensitive that it feels like you can trigger input by just breathing on the thing, yet at the same time it's so strong that hitting max force requires a massive effort. Way too much to be comfortable (for me). Luckily the software allows you to fine tune the usable range quite nicely, but it is no simple affair like calibrating consumer grade pedals, where you just press and release each pedal once and are done.
Just some things to think about before you upgrade. As long as you know what you're getting yourself into they are absolutely phenomenal pedals, and well worth the price.
