Great video! I've owned these for about 2 months, the modularity of these pedals was a huge part in my purchase. I plan to get the hydraulic brake upgrade and haptic motors soon!

[@oznemur]

I'll be holding off on pedal upgrade, but like you said these pedals definitely have potential. Turning up the preload on throttle, changing spring on clutch and installing the P-HYS hydraulic kit on brake will put these way above the P2000 I think. Biggest thing for me are those haptic motors.

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Yep having native haptic and Simhub support already makes these pedals better than most :)

[@SimStig]

@@LaurenceDusoswaI updated to the latest Simhub over the weekend and used the motors here there sensational once setup, I also purchased the extra dampening set and used them on like a mix between GT/Formula out the box, within 8/10 laps I beat my pb in ACC by 1 tenth, I think with some adjustments youll be super happy with them Laurence but the native Simhub support is a game changer, I set the clutch for gear changes the vibrations when using it on cars without it 😂

Had these for a while, hydraulic upgrade for the brake is available, rumble motors are mad strong haha, I don't have the rgb but overall they've been epic :) The throttle was a little weak but I used one of the clutch pedal springs to make it a lot better. One thing that impresses me about simagic which should be mentioned is their quality of screws and allen keys, NLR, TR and others could pay attention.

[@adrianmilanesi9143]

hydraulic upgrade for the brake......... It's not a proper hydraulic brake it's just a hydraulic damper, get it right mate....LOL

[@DJSoulbrother]

@@adrianmilanesi9143 Hi there, thanks for your pointless comment

[@nathancadeneracing]

The two brake connectors are for the load cell and the magnetic sensor that can calculate the angle of the pedals instead of the pressure from the load cell. Like that if ppl don't like the feel or the precision of the load cell, they can switch to the magnetic sensor while having still a good resistance on the pedals.

[@RealPyro88]

I thought it was a hall sensor, or is that the same thing?

[@evantalley4388]

Supposedly the idea of the idea with the two brake sensors (I believe mentioned by Simagic) is that the angle sensor is more suited for softer pedal setups to avoid the loss of brake pressure with the softer elastomers weakening and losing braking force, and the load cell is supposed to be better with stiffer elastomer setups.

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

It does make sense

[@MrMikap74]

Hi Laurence, nice to see your channel has grown so quickly since you hit the 10k subs. Don't know exactly why they choose to have a loadcell and angle sensor, but Race beyound Matter made a video about the fundamental flaw in the decision of sim pedal manufacturers to place elastomers between the input force and the loadcell censor. When elastomers are put under load it will initially resist and then relax. The input drops 10%. He has the P1000 also and tested the accuracy of the input of the loadcell and angle sensor, and he claims the angle sensor was more accurat. Maybe you should watch the video ( and follow Race Beyound Matter), because it's kind a hard to explaine.

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

I haven’t watched the video but I have similar findings. However, the problem is unique to the Simagic elastomer design. I have never experienced it with other pedal sets. Definitely not to this extent.

[@Xpl0jd1]

@@LaurenceDusoswa its how elastomers works, its the same with all elastomers iv tried, but never tried simagic elastomers. I´m looking on the P1000 becouse of the angel sensor.

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

@@Xpl0jd1 I have reviewed countless pedal sets. Not one other set has had a drop off of 10-15%. It is 3% at most if at all. A negligible amount. And after changing the circuit board on my p1000, the problem is far less. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype, but if all elastomers had such poor performance, nobody would depend on them

[@Xpl0jd1]

@@LaurenceDusoswa yes 10% is alot, but everyone relaxes, also depends where the loadcell is placed, not all pedals have loadcell behind the elastomers.

[@beyondtheapexracing]

I think there is two brake inputs because one is for the load cell and other is for the hall sensor. You can switch between the two brake inputs in the software

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Yes that much I am aware of. But why you would want angle based measurement over load cell is still a bit of a mystery to me. It does make the transition to load cell pedals a lot easier for those who prefer distance based measurement

[@younghumphrey06]

@@LaurenceDusoswa Race beyond matter demonstrated the higher consistency of angle Vs pressure with springs and elastomers causing spikes it the input. Angle is more consistent.

[@tver]

@@LaurenceDusoswa At low pressure, during the initial stage of tapping the brake, measuring angle might yield more consistent results than measuring pressure. The brake in that early phase is more like the clutch and throttle, where people tend to have a better feel for angle than pressure, when the latter is low to begin with. Therefore a hybrid, angle sensor and pressure/force sensor, method doesn’t seem weird, to give the most consistent performance through all phases of braking.

[@B1GJuggernaut]

These pedals look great. I'm personally not a fan of the pedals being mounted all together on a tray. I have Fanatec V3s currently. and my biggest gripe is that i cant easily adjust them laterally. Time could be taken to possibly make some new spacers for them, maybe even 3D print some. For now I've settled with just adjusting the pedal faces. in this case with the p1000, I understand it with the way the made it so easy to plug in the haptic motors. Still would be nice to have more adjustability of individual pedal position. Interesting pedals for sure. the LED's are cool but not really needed IMO. Nice to have the options available when shopping around. As i have only been into sim in the last couple of years, the market has exploded in just this short amount of time. Thanks for the vid LD!

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Great comment yeah. No lateral adjustment is definitely a consideration for many

[@juccavtr]

The main reason I will move from V3's as well, because of no lateral adjustment. So p1000 don't have them to, but P2000 can be moved, right?

[@laddken]

When i got my AlphaU i gave the iracing card to a super close friend of mine, he used it and now has a alpha mini because he enjoyed it that much.

[@knowyourjoe8826]

THANKS FOR THE REVIEW !!! - I could't resist... LOL. Seriously thanks for sharing your first impressions. it will be interesting to see how they fare long term. I believe they offer a polymer upgrade kit and show different configurations for the polymer combinations but I could be wrong. It has been while since I looked at them. Cya in the chat soon I hope! Probably this coming Thursday.

[@drchtct]

I could be wrong but I tested the P1 Sim Mistral pedals at the expo last weekend and while driving I didn't know yet they had rumble motors. But I had such great feeling on the brake that I think these motors reported tyre slip for locked tyres etc, they come out in 2 weeks, maybe you can get a review sample, would be very interesting Oh by the way, the founders of these P1 pedals also made a video explaining (in French, but there are subtitles) the pedals and they also have both a loadcell and a hallsensor measurement and they said it's there so that you can better set up individual curves in the software for specific cars. So it's not meant for the driving measurement but rather so that you can match travel and pressure in the software

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Yeah ask them to contact me if they are interested :) I don’t really ask companies for stuff these days. I only want them to sent me stuff if they see the demand for my reviews.

[@MrFatman489]

Definitely looking forward to your thoughts after a few adjustments and some time, these bad boys are heavily on my radar, I have the clubsport v3 inverted now and seen these in the inverted setup and my interest was instantly peaked. Then all the options just further grabbed my attention.

[@GoSu2KL]

this is why i use fanatec for long 918 wheel that have vibrations and clubsport v3 also have them if you use it once there is no coming back it's another layer of information about tires lock/slip or abs systems if you setup it well it's amazing. If i upgrade my simrig in future it's gonna be with haptic/ruble motors 100% im happy other brands also started include this kind of hardware

[@MrFatman489]

The 2 brake cables are for 1 hall sensor and 1 load sensor because they say if you use it super stiff or with the hydraulic add on you should use the hall effect sensor

[@GuppyMilk334]

Hmm whats the point on hydraulic kit then if you have to use hall sensor? Seems like waste of money to me. I thought they had load cell somewhere in the hydraulic system.

[@MrFatman489]

@@GuppyMilk334 the load cell is in the pedal itself the hydraulic is just for pedal feel and I may be backwards maybe the hall sensor is if your run the pedal super soft .. I can't remember but the point is you can choose in the software if it reads the hall or the load cell so your free to use whichever you want too just one is going to be more accurate than the other in certain usages so having the option for either one out of the box is genius imo

[@GuppyMilk334]

​@@MrFatman489 Im just having hard time finding real benefits using hall sensor. Only thing i can think of is that elastomers are not accurate on load cells. You press pedal with 50kg force and it first reads 80% and 1 sec later 70%. Anyway i think load cell is just best option we have right now, because its so much easier to control the force you use to press pedal.

[@wangte27]

This video gives a very clear explanation why in spite of popular belief, a hall sensor is sometimes preferred. eRacing review kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTai4GOrMx7ia8

[@Metla666]

Had mine for a month and never even noticed what the writing was on the footboard, just had to go and have a look. That aside, Simhub now supports these pedals and you can assign wheel lock to non-abs cars, as well as a boat load of other affects that might not make any sense. But certainly a level of configuration that far exceeds the simagic software.

[@GiosSimCorner]

I just orderd the haptic motors for the P2000's I cant freaking wait

[@Nels_On]

Hi, Laurence. I have my p1000i rs about two weeks now. And tomorrow I mount my meca cup1 back. i will see the différence. Luck I havent sell them yet. I am very happy with the simagic stuff but, not really impressed at use. Im maybe considering go on Méca Evo. What do you think ? Or another set ? You are the only youtuber who runs a lot the meca.

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Without the haptics, I would choose the meca. But the haptics make any pedal set even better.

[@Simlife101]

@Laurence Dusoswa little tip you can remove that small play in the brake by tightening the nut secondly iracing does do TC telemetry you just wasnt in a car that has it. The springs that they give for the clutch can be used in the throttle i have done this my self. One last question how do you compare these to the meca evos with hydraulics? I love the look of those pedals (the evo)

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

This is a first impressions video so I am only commenting on the default setup and how I received them. The rest will be saved for my long term review. Right now, the haptics are the best thing about these pedals. They’re decent pedals but I have a load cell issue that is blocking the review. It could be isolated to my pedal set here. Without haptics, these are nowhere near as good as the EVO1 pedals.

[@benjamindunlop9057]

this can be done with arduino uno on a current set of pedals and simhub. but as a turn key solution, this looks great!

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

For sure. There are many diy solutions but most just want a plug and play, minimal hassle solution

[@zzmadd]

There is an interesting review on these pedals from Race Beyond Matter that I'm sure would inform you so you can develop even further and with your liking and style what he found out. Especially if you can really reduce travel and sponginess that are qualities I don't like. I'm looking for pedals and I'm not sure if these or VRS. I don't like elastomers, in fact I dislike them totally.

Also totally off topic of the P1000's but I noticed when you did the comparison with the P2000's your spring configuration for the brake green(Hard spring) at the top and red(soft spring) at the bottom. I have mine switched around. Do I have it setup wrong. Which spring gets compressed first the bottom one or the top? Thanks. love your review videos you were one of the first channels I subscribed to when I got into sim racing and I ended up by Simagic because of it.

Hey Laurence. Having tested both p1000 with brake motors and la prima/forte pedals which would you recommend. I'm not too worried about the price and will be going with a forte wheel base.

Is it a problem with someone in the room who wants to reed or in the next room who wants to sleep? And if the noise is only low with low strength settings, is it still a good experience and better then the Sim3D solution!? And how is the noise from the clutch pedal? Is is still a metal-to-metal clunk when the 2nd stage is engaged?

Other that the neatness/convenience what are they doing that Sim3d aren't? €240 vs €130

The sim-3D settings? You found them weak even at 100%? I had them turned way way down and they were still plenty for me. I like subtle feedback. Tbh see are definitely more powerful and seem to have 0 latency too. They’re a lot more like buttkickers than vibration motors. Are they worth it? All depends how much money you have floating around.

I got a set of p1000s and it looks like you didnt set the preload on your brake pedal. after pressing it a couple of time s it has some play so I adjusted preload and that fixed it. and the way the motors work in the p100s is that they kind of actuate like a solenoid and moved froward and back and not spin its really cool. Last thing is the clutch pedal use the red spring its the stiffest and they are for the clutch and use the curve on the software that curves to the right gave me the best feeling. Red one is stiffest and feels the best and feels like a real clutch. So far been ruining my P1000 for a month and I love them.

@@pwnzama9403 I don't really get the idea, you press the pedal without preload and you adjust the preload until there is no more play ?

Out of the box the elestomers havent been compressed and when they finally do a couple of times they will have a slightly different memory to them on what they are when they are not compressed. from factory the preload on the p1000 brake pedal is really light and is only slightly compressing the elestomers and when you make the preload higher that in-turn is making the elestomers more pre-comoressed giving you a overall stiffer feel and is needed atleast for my set and what I talked to other people about you need to make the preload higher so the pedal feels more consistent since elastomers like being compressed some to function properly. its like having a car spring with no preload on it will bounce around as soon as three's no load on it and not work as a constant force@@JoFandango

[@crawfordbrown75]

Hello Laurence love the review but Ive noticed something you need to change: You test in that single seater, and you should really put the brake pressure down a lot (in setup) so that you can actually use 95% of the braking force without locking up. I feel like this car test impedes your judgement as you are defining pedals at their ability to be at 40-70% load and not right up against their designed limit. Also just a setup tip in general, lower that brake pressure in setup when the brakes are particulalry sensitive, on AC at the very least it doesnt inpact braking performance.

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Thanks for the input. To an extent you are correct. But open wheelers are notoriously sensitive, kind of like a go kart. There’s not a lot of weight over those wheels. And although I usually only show that car and track in my videos, I also try iracing and ACC and sometimes even dirt rally 2.0. But there are lots of cars which don’t require a full 100% pedal press before lockup. I would even argue that if you reduce your braking force, you could miss out on braking potential in a straight line or a high grip corner. And finally, and probably most importantly, I review the feel and ability of pedals. It is essential for me to be able to prevent lockups consistently without relying on software aids. Hope that all clarifies it a bit, and gives some insight into my thorough review process.

They’re also great. There’s a very accurate ABS feel from Simagic is really really good. And the response is quicker than the sim3d units

[@YBFocus]

Great video and they seem like fantastic pedals to be honest! That was a long one 😂 Time lapse stuff is awesome, keep that up! Interested to know how these are compared to a set of sprints as that's where I am currently!

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Long video yeah. Long one to edit too :) It's really multiple products when you break it down. 3 pedals, haptic motors, leds, etc. But the complexities of the software, what reports what, etc are all things that take time. There's a lot to digest. I didn't even get to cover the simhub integration yet :p I need time with the pedals to offer comparisons or advice, but in their default form, they're not as good as sprints for sure. These are closer to Fanatec V3 pedals with the default settings than they are to the sprints. Hope that helps.

[@YBFocus]

@@LaurenceDusoswa still probably great for their price point!

[@ArturGordinho]

Nice! ive ben waiting to pull the trigger on this pedals till some reviews(i now its not a review), but this pedals mostly for the hidrilic, hepatic and inverted too, my knees are old now, and sofering with elastomers relax for 2 years like chepilevski mentioned, but hall sensor will do the fix till have the hidrilic! seeing your face in this 1 hour made my mind hahahahahaaa!!! sorry for the spelling mistakes...

just a sugestion to fix something in the video: for the timestamp chapters to work, they should be in front of the name of the chapter, like "12:34 chapter title", not after like it is right now

Hi Laurence, would you say these are better than the VNM pedals if price wasn't a factor?

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

The VNM have a lot of advantages too. The haptics are the biggest selling factor for these. But when set up correctly, the VNM are a better pedal set in my opinion

[@georgeapostolo3865]

If you had to choose between Simagic Haptics and the Sim3D rumble kit, what would be your decision?

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Probably the simagics because of the instant power and accurate ABS feel

[@Angelo-ej7vs]

Are your pedals base plate parallel to the ground? I have difficult to find a good position

[@P.I.D.27]

What is your opinion now when you have these pedals for mouths ? Is it worth a price and are they better than Fanatec V2 and V3 pedals ? :9 you like haptics ?

[@jimmyth92]

Hi Laurence, when you compare the rumble effect of the P1000 with the rumble motors from the Sim3D Rumble Kit which would you prefer?

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

I think I need to do a video on it

[@TheNelsonsd]

@@LaurenceDusoswaany plans to do this Laurence? Be really keen to understand your thoughts as torn between the two…

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

I’m not sure when I’d get around to it, being honest. The Simagic motors give more accurate ABS reproduction but other than that, they achieve similar goals. The Simagic integration into the p1000 is great so I’d never tell anyone to buy a p1000 with the sim3d kit. Given a choice, I’d go for the Simagic haptics.

@@LaurenceDusoswa I've asked this on various sites and also on Aseteks discord, and apparently you can, but I don't think the haptics will work.

it's decent. i had some issues but customer service was good. All in all, I'd buy again.

[@KeynSong]

Isn't the Whole point of vibrating pedals is to help you figure out the position feedback better? Doesn't the strength of the vibration not tell you how far you are in the pedal? Whats the point then for the vibration

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

the vibration is either on or off. it doesn't get more or less. if it's on, the effect is happening. if it's off, it's not. In real cars the wheels are either locked or they're not. there's no such thing as locking up a little.

[@KeynSong]

@@LaurenceDusoswahow about the throttle and clutch? Throttle is just on or off?? Pffff And it’s not just about lock up. The vibration on how deep into your brakes in a real car should be there. It’s not just about lock up.

[@justkhriz]

Is there any chance that those rumble motors be able to work with other pedals?

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

You would need to buy the controller module but I doubt that’s sold separately. But check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTdc2OvpqmXf5Isi=IwRhig3tksMwSMqa

[@nicholasmarshall3191]

Just installed mine today. How do you get the haptic motors to work through Simhub? Simhub recognizes them, but says they are not connected.

[@scottySK]

Is the rumble better than a diy pedal rumble set up?

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

Yes. It feels more like real ABS. But that said, diy will get you 90% of the way there, if not more.

[@ezpz4659]

i only feel the need for the haptic for ABS, because it feels like real ABS.

[@LaurenceDusoswa]

I use it for lockups, traction loss and traction control too. You get the feedback much sooner here than via visuals. If you’re using a buttkicker (or similar) already I agree with you. But other seat of the pants sensations are amazing through the pedals. And of course the gear shifts too. But speed and rpm are gimmicky to me.

[@jc74435]

How does this compare to a tactile transducer like a buttkicker or a dayton BST-1 under the pedals?

Yeah idk why some of the top players act like putting the brake to the floor in acc is good. Im like idk ive tested it and braking feels just as strong without activating abs.
