945-000005 Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals 945-000005

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.

I love this product as it is very sturdy and easy to use, it works with every app I use, overall it is a great product and I recommend it.

It's pretty much entry level so you get what you pay for, it does the job well enough without breaking the bank, I'm happy enough with them and I'll be using them for the foreseeable.

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.

Excellent pedals with the easy option of adjusting tension, I’ve used my joystick for years but decided to add a layer of somewhat realism and there great fun, even if it will take me ages to get the hang of them :)

I bought this to replace an overly sensitive product to be used in DCS World. The pedals length is adjustable, the centrespot is easy to find and the tension is adjustable. There's a small, discreet powerlight too, so you'll know if it's connected. Ergomically this product is much more comfortable to use and causes less knee pain than more narrow units. It also comes with wall spacers which is a nice touch if you want to keep the depressed pedal action away from the wall. No drivers were needed, Windows 11 recognised the rudder pedals straightaway and DCS recognised the kit straightaway...so it was 'up, up and awaaaay!' Well done Logitech.

L'acquisto di questa pedaliera completa definitivamente il mio "cockpit" domestico ;) é un buon acquisto e funziona benissimo, robusta e unica nel suo genere, ha anche il regolatore di tensione per la durezza dell'asse imbardata. Unica pecca non è per l'attrezzo ma il suo posizionamento a terra. Se non la si blocca con le fascette di velcro in dotazione, bisogna ancorarla bene a terra con viti o fissarla su superfice stabile..nel mio caso ho acquistato un tappetino di gomma al 100% per auto e pare che va a meraviglia!

As detailed, work right out of the box in FSX, minimum assembly required.

El funcionamiento es el adecuado, es suave, con firmeza ajustable. Me he adaptado a el sin ningún problema. Vino con un problema de fábrica bastante común, y es que tenía un cable fuera de lugar y hacía un click cuando empujabas el pedal de la derecha al engancharse con un poste de plástico. Si no se soluciona al final se corta el cable. Lo que más me gusta es que viene con unos suplementos para poder colocarlo pegado a la pared y que no se mueva, lo que nos hace la vidas más fácil para los que no tenemos posibilidad de tener un cockpit permanente. Eso si, está hecho enteramente de plástico y si frenas con ganas notas como flexionan los pedales, hay que ir con cuidado por que no parece muy resistente.

Läuft perfekt und ist im täglichen Gebrauch. Echt gute Verarbeitung.
