Logitech G PRO Flight Rudder Pedals

Product Information

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. 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. Overall, nothing wrong as far as compatibility is concerned; 5/5 for compatibility. Comfort and Convenience 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.” As mentioned already, the pedals offer plug-and-play functionalitywith most flight sims- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, X-Plane, DCS World, and P3D being a few of the notable names. They are compatible with an array of operating systems including Windows (starting with Windows XP all the way up to Windows 10) and macOS (although you would need appropriate MAC drivers). You can also use them with your Xbox and soar the skies with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

These entry-level pedals are great for anyone who doesn’t want to spend too much on their first build. While you’ll eventually want to upgrade to a higher-end set, the TFRP’s will enhance your flight sim experience—especially if you have other Thrustmaster accessories.

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.

Connecting the pedals is easy, thanks to its 7-foot USB cable. They will need a powered USB connection though, so they must be plugged directly into your PC. Plugging them into a yoke won't be enough, and most USB hubs that aren't powered won't work either. There are no mounting options, so you'll have to keep these grounded. Aside from that, the CH Pro Pedals are feature-complete and make for an excellent budget buy, perfect for those dipping their toes into simulation hardware. Being the most popular on the list, the Logitech G Pro Flight Rudder Pedals offer great performance, pricing, and adaptability. 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.

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. Best High-End: Thrustmaster TPR Pedals Worldwide Version offer a high-quality build and PENDUL_R technology for fluid movement.

All in all, I would give Logitech G Pro Flight Rudder Pedals a solid 4/5 for functionality. Customizability Accurately simulating yaw in your setup is monumental to a realistic flight simulation, as well as differential braking for taxiing, take-off, and landing. How Does a Flight Simulator Rudder Pedal Work?

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. 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 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 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. 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.
