Much easier to use than the cheaper Thrustmaster pedals. Incredibly good quality.

These are really well made pedals. The toe brakes make it easier to make tight turns on the carrier. There are four rubber feet to keep it from sliding, but they weren?t up to the task on my wooden floor. I put a shelf and drawer liner under it and it stays in place now. Assembly was straightforward with the exception of the toe brake control rods. In order to connect them, you have to turn the ?tie rods? 90 degrees. But first you need to back off the locknut from the nylon tie rod. The manual didn?t mention this, and I think they could be broken if someone tried to force them without backing off the locknut first. The price was a hard pill to swallow, but I have no regrets with these pedals.

Extremely high quality rudder peddles. I am coming from the TM T.Flight rudder pedals and the CH rudder pedals. One major issue both had was not centering and a lack of fine input. When attempting to take off in DCS tail dragging ww2 aircraft using the previously mentioned pedals the planes would flop around and swing wildly with even minor inputs. With these peddles tiny inputs feel very fluid, the planes are easy to control and feel much more realistic. I have the whole Thrustmaster set now, the rudders and HOTAS warthog stick and throttle. My simulations feel like the real thing, no adverse effects from any of the controls which makes me focus more on the enjoyment of flying than the calibration of my equipment. Pro's- High quality construction made from all metal parts. High fidelity input sensitivity realistic position Cons- Really big needs to be attached to the floor or bolstered in some way to keep it from moving. Other thoughts- These are different from any other rudders out there. Your feet sit on the floor, like a real plane. To use the brakes you lift your legs and push on the brakes. I feel like this helps keep me from resting my feet on the brakes and accidentally adding inputs that can cause the plane to yaw on the ground unexpectedly. The resistance makes it feel like these are attached to a real aircraft's cable system, but sharp or hard inputs will make them move if they aren't nailed down. Conclusion- If you spend a lot of time in flying simulators and already have the HOTAS warthog get these to complete your experience. Be ready for a learning curve. I have owned many pedals and can tell you that they don't tend to last more than a year or so with use, these feel and look like they will last a lifetime. If you are having trouble with your rudders staying centered don't go out and buy more cheap ones, just buy these, i feel like i would buy 5 cheap sets of rudders before these wear out.

Simply the best. Even over the boutique custom gear. Not kidding. Smooth, adjustable, sturdy and more importantly accurate. Works well in FSX, XPlane 11, IL-2, Rise of Flight, DCS, Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. Heavy. Easy to put together. Doesn't move around on a hardwood floor near as much as other, lighter pedals do. Worth EVERY penny

Very immersive for DCS Simmers, very Pricey!!! But seem to do much better than the A10 Thrustmaster Hotas I purchased Really hope they will stand behind this product, I was really disappointed with the Hotas.

These are way better than the entry level pedals. You get what you pay for obviously.
