Fanatec ClubSport Pedals v3

Well, so far this set is working really well- I had previously a momo pedal set, but the potentiometer was always messing up and I'd have to take it apart and apply tape to keep the potentiometer in the correct position- problem was that the tape would wear down and the problem would come back. That is no longer an issue as this unit has a 'halls sensor' or something like that- Supposed to work much better than the potentiometer- and so far it is- The set is very solid- doesn't move (on carpet anyways), and is rock solid feeling- smooth movements, and love how adjustable the pedals are- got them just the way i like them now- and it wasn't too difficult, just a matter of turning a dial- Yes, they ar expensive, but to me the price is worth it IF they hold up more than the few months that the momo held up for- Time will tell, but for now, I'm loving how solid and secure they feel. One note, they are supposed to have a rumble feeling for the gas and brake- well, yeah, not so much- it's so slight as to not be very noticeable- but that wasn't important to me anyways- Had absolutely no problems with assetto corsa or RFactor2 seeing the pedals and working well with them- plug and play really- however, there does seem to be an issue with the new assetto corsa competizione where i will get the pedals working for it but then go to play regular assetto corsa again, and have to re-calibrate the pedals for some reason- but i think that is an issue with ACC, not AC as the steering wheel also loses calibration- not sure what's going on- but i don't suspect the pedals have anything to do with it- hopefully ACC works it out before it's release-

Fanatec failed multiple times to honor extended warranty, stay away from purchasing this or anye of their other products. In the latest ticket they are stating that I need to wait 3 weeks for someone to even look at the support case! Complete lack of any customer service!! The Fanatec USA branch should be dissolved and anyone selling their products prosecuted !!!

These are really nice pedals. You can definitely tell they're German-engineered and manufactured with a high level of precision... the pictures don't really do them justice. It's the last set of pedals I plan to buy. The action is great: The clutch pedal has that nice lever-like feel of a real clutch; it's a little light but the catch point is definitely simulated well. The brake pedal is the main reason I bought these, and I'm not disappointed. It's got a very nice feel to it - the load cell allows you to modulate brake input via pressure applied rather than distance, which allows for great precision and consistency. Muscle memory is much better with pressure than distance. Do note that the pedal is very stiff, and caused my PlaySeat to flex significantly. It's usable, but not the best, so I upgraded to an RSeat N1, which will eliminate the flex. Your mileage may vary; my PlaySeat is 10 years old. The gas pedal is pretty standard in terms of feel. It's obviously high quality and the action is smooth, and the vibration motor is nice, but there's not much to ask for from a gas pedal. I bricked my first set when I tried to update the firmware. Fanatec support of course sent me a new PCBA free of charge. I'm a little hesitant to do further firmware updates... the bricked pedals could have been caused by my PC, or my USB cable, or the pedals - not sure. A little disappointed there's no way to fix it without installing a new PCBA. The initial cost is less expensive if you purchased from the manufacturer, but I chose to purchase from Amazon for a few reasons: 1) Shipping from the manufacturer is super expensive (especially 2-day), but included for free with Prime 2) I get 5% cash back from Amazon on my Prime Visa 3) I could use existing $$ points 4) Amazon's customer service is unrivaled All of that makes the pricing equitable in my mind. And on point 4 - USPS lost the shipment for a few days, so it arrived in 4-5 days instead of 2. I reached out to Amazon, who gave me a significant refund, which completely offset the price difference (and then some) from Amazon vs the manufacturer. All in all, they're a good buy.

With barely any usuage (like 2x a week for a maximum of 2-3 hrs) They squeak horribly (think a performance car with cold brakes), tried the grease and it didnt help.. The Fanatec software is absolutely terrible as well. I had to recalibrate the pedal to be very short because it was so firm (turning the resistance down in the software and on the pedals did nothing). Not to mention, if I open the Fanatec software via the shortcut it screws up and forces me to move the pedals to a different usb port...

The bolts that hold on the heel plate are made of butter. Immediately rounded off one of them. I had to extract the bolt and replace with stainless.

very sturdy and well made. quality pedal set. works perfectly with Fanatec steering wheels. heavy base, will not move. you can really hit the brakes and not worry about breaking anything. all pedals are adjustable. brake is adjustable for your brake feel. Once again, high quality, serious money, but not a toy.

So far, my husband loves this pedal set. Serious iRacing requires good equipment. The pedals that are on the market for Play Station are not even close to this quality. On the Logitec G920 the pententiometers have issues. We have tried three different wheel/pedal sets, having exchanged the same one. The Fanatec pedals are like ten levels beyond this. The weight, the quality, the performance is like the difference between a Timex watch and a Rolex.....seriously. So far, my husband is totally thrilled. When you invest so much into a game and you are a serious racer, cutting corners just isn't an option. Actually like my husband, I feel that people buy what is the best at the time and available. Save your money and go straight to the best. Especially if you are serious. From watching numerous people taking apart their racing pedal system it appears that the very sensitive pententiometers collect dust and gunk and this creates a sticky to useless pedal response. You can also purchase the pedals and use them with the Logitec wheel and save up for the wheel down the road. These components really get expensive. The reason I am trying to give such an in depth review is because we've through a lot of trial and error and this can get ridiculously expensive. I actually went to different sites to get reviews and problem solving on this gaming/racing problem. I hope this helps someone along the way. This pedal set is amazing. As time goes I will try to enhance the review with information on long term use. :)

There is no denying the quality build of the Clubsport V3 pedals. All metal construction, fantastic appearance with black anodizing and red highlights. What really sets them apart from other pedals is the super simple adjustment on the brake pedal. By simply turning an adjustment knob you can go from super firm/short travel to super soft/long travel. I prefer something in the middle where there is some pedal travel before hitting major resistance. But no matter your preference, there's a good chance you'll be able to find the perfect setting with these pedals. Great value and quality.
