Breakdown of the Best Sim Racing Pedals 2022
Often the first recommendation we at Pagnian Advanced Simulation recommend when users are wanting to knock off seconds off their lap time is to look into their Pedal Sets. Your Controller or Keyboard can only offer you so much, so you need that Pedal Set to get the most accurate racing, drifting, just all-round fun, experience.
The wheel, pedals, and seat are the three points of interaction between the driver and the cars in any sim setup. For those of you who are familiar with Sim Racing, the pedals can undoubtedly make a significant difference in driving skill and consistency. The driver can control the car without second-guessing what the car will do if the pedal sensation is constant and accurate. This not only improves braking performance, but also tyre wear and overall automobile handling by reducing pitching and instability. The right pedals may make or break a driver's ability to be consistent and perform at their best. From more budget-friendly choices to expensive sim racing gear, we've broken down the four finest pairs of pedals.

STYLE: LOAD CELL |
BRAND: BJR |
The BJR SIM RACING pedal range come equipped with the leading simulation brand in electronics Leo Bodnar, using their 16-bit Loadcell USB board which is specifically designed for load cell pedals used in racing simulators. The board has integrated EMI filters, this means when the pedals are used on motion sims or heavy FFB set ups there is no creeping on inputs making them more precise. On the brake pedal BJR have fitted a 200KG industrial aluminium single point Loadcell which is super reliable and extremely accurate. This type of loadcell is well known to be the best when converting pressure or weight into an electronic output, when testing these pedals, we seen this compare against other styles and is one of the reasons we choose BJR Sim Racing Pedals.

MOZA CRP Pedals
Out of the box, these pedals have a clean, professional look and feel to them. I could find no defects as far as fit and finish are concerned. The pedals are constructed from 5mm thick side plates that also incorporate a mounting flange. Pedal levers are CNC machined from billet aluminum that are 30mm square. There is some nice chamfering on the levers. Which is also found throughout the pedal set. All sensors on these pedals are of a contactless hall sensor design. Which should give long life cycles. These pedals did have enough adjustment options that allowed me to dial in settings that suited me well enough. Throttle travel is smooth and linear. Which allowed me to properly modulate the throttle where needed. The clutch pedal has a roller cam profile setup that gives the feel of pressing through the pressure plate spring in a real clutch pack
