Logitech G Saitek PRO Flight Rudder Pedals, Professional Simulation Pedals with Toe Brake, Non-Slip, Precise Fluid Control, Ajustable Tension Dial, PC - Black

This is a review for the Saitek PRO Flight Rudder Pedals only. Having read reviews its amazing how many reference the pedals, yet then go on to feedback on yokes, panels etc.Anyway, based on review outside of Amazon I decided to order the Saitek (Logitech) Pro Flight Rudder Pedals.... got them today in a LARGE box, minimal instuctions, but being for Windows 11 I didnt need any. Its plug-n-play !!! I positioned the pedals under my desk, adjusted the pedal lengths for my size 12's (UK size), fitted the extenders to the rear so they butt up against the skirting board under my desk, and plugged the long lead into the USB2.0 connector on the back of my PC.... my PC gave a satisfying beep when I pluged them in. First thing I noticed was the bright green LED light in the central area indicating USB power.... which is good imho.The pedals were adjusted for my feet size via a simple metal spring-loaded button that you push in, extend the pedal, the button clicks back out as it reaches the next preset (there are 3.... Im on max extension). The pedals come with two plastic extenders for, either, to use as heel rests to the front OR... as spacers at the rear.... which I found necessary to move the pedals away from the wall, yet to butt up against the skirting. The pedals also come with what looks like velcro grippers for use on carpet.Didnt play much with the rotary tension adjustment, it was fine on minimum for me.Also, note, the underside of the whole rudder pedal assembly has a plastic cover which goes against old reviews Ive seen where it said the underside was exposed to dust, carpet fibres, or whatver. Also, in use.... again going against old reviews, the pedals are NOT noisy, they slide fairly easily (maybe a little stiff with newness) but not noisy.On connection to the PC, the windows side of things identifies the pedals right away. But more importantly, once I fired up MSFS 2020, so did the control configurator. I adjusted the sensitivity for my personal taste, creating a small dead zone at the start of the pedal brake travel (so Im not accidently applying brakes), and a 15% dead zone on the rudder axis (so Im not activating the rudder by accident either).I tested with an FBW A320 at EGCC, taxiing, turning, applying left and right brake, quickly geting used to the extra dynamic of individual wheel brakes for taxiing. Also, accelerating down the centre line to take off... again.. no problems.. in fact it felt easier to keep the centre line that it ever did using the joystick. (Dont forget to disable/remove the rudder and brake assignments from your joystick/controller so no conflicts).So, although its the first day, Im very happy with the looks, design, build and operation of the pedals.

Never owned pedals before, just used a twisty stick to control rudder in my air-sim type games.I flew solo back in the day, and had experience in flying various light aircraft including a glider, and once these were setup properly with my VR headset, and stick, it just brings it all back for me. Sure you don't have the vibrations, the smells, but this is as close to being there, short of being there once setup.They also work well for driving games, minus a clutch, because they not only slide side-to-side (that's the rudder control) but you can also press them down individually (toe brakes in aircraft control, but easily accelerator/brake in a car/lorry/bus type sim). I have used them in eurotruck2 to do just that, and they work great.So there are 3 axis here in total, the left/right slide, left toe brake, right toe brake. Every game allows for complete customization of each of these axis to control any given function/control in the game. You could configure the slide to be used as the accerlator and the right toe brake as the handbrake if you really wanted to - although i'm not sure why - but it shows you can do what you want with each axis.They are very responsible, as far as I can tell, at least in my usage, each axis has 2000 "points" of granulation from each extreme left/right or up/down. That means very smooth control in every way, and having used them for a few weeks now, they are as precise as when I first got them - very important. The software that comes with the download also allows you to adjust the "curve" of the responsiveness, so they can be made less sensitive or more sensitive at different stages of physically pressing them. While at first this may sound like a minor bit of a gimmick, it's actually very very useful, for example, rudder - a perfect example. While not strictly realistic, I find having the rudder a little less responsive for the first 25% or so, allows for much finer/greater very minor adjustments in flight, and therefore the final 50-100% probably controls 70% of the total movement, which is reserved for more extreme manoeuvres, but each to their own, i thought it's a good addition and used it within a few days.There is no force feed back, and if there was a way to improve these - that would be it. There's a big dial in the middle to turn to adjust how hard you push to get the pedals to move side-to-side, it just depends on preference and/or how hard you rest your feet on them when not wishing to press, but the quality of the product is good, thanks.

The first set was sent back as the box was damaged and some parts were missing. The replacements were delivered promptly. Set up was a breeze - these are essentially plug 'n' play in MSFS 2020.Had some initial trouble getting used to these. You need to make sure that they can't move, as a lot of pressure needs to be applied to both the rudders and the toe brakes - the supplied velcro strips will help with this, as does a solid backplate (I'm using a storage box) to ensure there is no unwanted movement. Took a while to get used to using the pedals, but they certainly aid immersion. There is a tensioner ring in the centre which you can adjust to get the feel just right for you. Not perfect - I'd like force feedback, but it simply costs too much. For what they are, these are a relatively cheap but worthwhile option.

Been after a set of rudder pedals for a while now and I am very happy with these combined with my Saitek X52pro joystick. I am using them with FSX - SE and were almost plug n play. All I had to do was add some sensitivity and null zone settings and they were working in seconds. Happy customer here!
