Weighing in at only 1.7 pounds, the CH Pro Pedals are the pipsqueak of the group, but don't count them out because they're smaller. Despite its weight, the base is very solid, and the whole design is incredibly well built thanks to military-grade plastic construction. They are modeled after actual airplane pedals, complete with inverse motion control. They also feature differential brake control in the toes, which allows for realistic handling. The pedals themselves aren't adjustable like the others on this list, but are generously sized and should fit most. The gray plastic does give these pedals a dated look, which might appeal to some, but ruin the aesthetics for others. To resolve the problem, you’ll need to run a Registry Editor (RegEdit) script to remove the entries in the Windows registry, and then recalibrate the data range.

Moreover, the advanced CH Control Manager software allows for highly customizable control over your flight simulation setup, from programming macros to assigning buttons, making the gaming experience even more immersive and tailored to your needs. The dimensions are comfortably compact, and the form factor is lightweight enough to move around yet sturdy enough not to slide during intense gaming sessions. Most flight simulator rudder pedals operate via three axes, where the physical input is translated into numerical values that your computer can read. All is not well for Logitech’s offering, however, as the set of rudder pedals has its fair share of shortcomings. For starters, it has a dead spot around the center: nothing too major but definitely noticeable. Secondly, the range on the brakes is underwhelming. Logitech’s rudders have less brake range than Thrustmaster TFRP pedals which are roughly 40 dollars cheaper.If you’re new to the flight sim world or you’re looking for an upgrade, here’s our six best rudder pedals for flight simulators. Thrustmaster TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals If your goal is to make your flight simulator as realistic as possible, rudder pedals are a must-have. Flight sim rudder pedals vary wildly in style, function, and price, which can come down to personal preference when choosing the best one for you. If you want something done right, do it yourself… or at least, let MFG help out a bit. These pedals are designed for the armchair pilot who needs every degree of freedom from their equipment. If money ain't an issue and you're looking for the best pair of pedals that money can buy, look no further than the Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder Pedals. This 100% metal structure weighs in at over 15 pounds, with a heavy base plate that provides ample stability. The Thrustmaster Pendular Rudder Pedals comes with their H.E.A.R.T technology, or HallEffect AccuRate Technology (I told you Thrustmaster loves acronyms). What that means is that features like 3D Hall effect magnetic sensors ensure ultra-precise, frictionless action that will not wear away over time. Our editorial team tested Logitech’s rudder pedals over 30+ hours spread across 2 weeks. The flight sim software we used was mostly Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, although, we did occasionally shift to X-Plane 11. Our review of the product with respect to design, build quality, functionality, customizability, compatibility, comfort, and convenience is featured below. Design and Build Quality

Best Overall: Logitech G PRO Flight Rudder Pedals excel with their adjustable damping and superior customization. One strange omission from this set is the ability to adjust the tension. While the default tension is fine, it's definitely something to keep in mind for those who want complete control over their simulation equipment. Thrustmaster also offers calibration software to customize the TFRP's performance. You can adjust the TFRP to change where the dead zones are, or eliminate them altogether. You can also alter these settings separately for each axis of movement. The G Pro Flight Rudder Pedals come from the house of Logitech-an industry-leading manufacturer of gaming peripherals. Logitech is famous for its high-quality affordable offerings and the set of rudder pedals has only enhanced that reputation. It frequently features in the lists of the best rudder pedals for flight simulatorsand is widely regarded as the best option for the same. In the following review, we put this reputation to the test.

Best Runner-Up: Turtle Beach VelocityOne Universal Rudder Pedals feature an ultra-smooth rudder axis and high precision. WARNING: Incorrectly modifying the Windows registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. This script is designed to update the Windows registry safely, however, continue at your own risk. Compatibility issues aside, this is the most realistic set of pedals possible, and for the price, you can easily see why they're the best value. Verdict:Perfectly imperfect, Logitech’s set of G Pro Flight Rudders leaves you wondering how good a peripheral it could be if only it had a slightly better build and a fairer price.

Keeping your office space clean and organized is a must for any stay-at-home professional. While making your home office desk feel like the inside of a jet is tempting, enthusiasts need equipment that keeps a low profile—in case you get a surprise video call. The VKB T-Rudders fit this form factor to a “T.” Rudder pedals are a crucial part of a flight simulator setup. They allow the pilot to control the aircraft’s yaw and brakes, providing a more immersive and realistic flying experience.Among other features, Logitech’s rudders offer differential brakingand a self-centering mechanism.While the former allows greater control over the plane, the latter centers the pedals when no force is being applied. Although I find both these features very desirable, it is pertinent to mention that the self-centering mechanism ensures you are always pushing against some tension. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but it tends to divide opinions. For the most realistic experience, go for the pedals that most closely resemble the aircraft you enjoy flying the most. Comfort Now for the complaints. We sometimes feel like the pedals are too close together. Depending on the game, this can put a dent in prolonged usage. However, this factor is largely subjective and depends on individual comfort preferences. The pedals are compatible with both PC and Mac, and the plug-and-play driverless USB installation is a breeze. Overall, nothing wrong as far as compatibility is concerned; 5/5 for compatibility. Comfort and Convenience

Best High-End: Thrustmaster TPR Pedals Worldwide Version offer a high-quality build and PENDUL_R technology for fluid movement.While they are comfortable for use, setting them up is a real hassle. The floor mounting system is downright terribleand the pedals slip, especially on smoother floors. Sure, they come with Velcro strips but those are ineffective on the carpet and who uses them on bare floors? One solution to the problem is to put weight behind the pedals, somewhere in the range of 20 – 30 lbs. That’s exactly what we did, and it worked well. A more permanent and better solution would be to bolt the pedals to the desk. The most noticeable aspect of Logitech’s G Pro Flight rudder pedals is the adjustable spring tension. You can fly against as little or as much resistance as you want. As essential as the feature sounds on paper, it is quite rare, with even a few top-of-the-line products not supporting it. Neither Thrustmaster TFRP nor CH Products Pro Pedals offer any mechanism for adjusting tension. So in that regard, Logitech’s offering definitely stands out. It is worth mentioning, however, that adjusting tension doesn’t seem to have much of an impact. Sure, it smoothens out minor rudder adjustments but that’s just about it. That being said, I would have Logitech’s adjustable tension over Thrustmaster’s fixed tension any day of the week! For our value selection, you can't do much better than the Thrustmaster T.Flight Rudder Pedals, or TFRP. Weighing at just under 5 pounds, the construction consists of steel and aluminum, which makes for a rugged piece of plastic. Compared to the other two pedals on the list, the TFRP Rudder Pedals are angled towards you, which allows for comfortable, albeit less realistic flying. The heel rest can also be removed, allowing you to control the rudder with different parts of your foot. Again, it's not the most realistic flying position, but it's perfect for staying comfortable during long flights. Has worked great so far for my pedals. Comes up off the floor with a little effort and doesn’t leave a residue.
