After a few months of intensive use in competitive circuit racing, rally and drifting, I've drawn some big and potentially controversial conclusions with these pedals. Has Fanatec's involvement with real life motorsports raised the bar? (for product links, click "Show more")

Have had these pedals for around 3 months now and didn't realise I could horizontally move the individual pedals, so thanks for that. I've kept the 3x65 stack at 40% strength (in the software) as didn't use a load cell before. Without doubt this pedal set has, possibly inadvertently, taught me how to trail brake with much more consistency. You have me intrigued to now stiffen up slightly with a 65-75-85, as shown in the video!

i just bought these coming from G29 pedals. Was a bit underwhelmed as I expected more after the reviews. But then came to realize they come out of the box with the weakest elastomers and spring (and thus a fairly long travel like my old pedals). Changed those to stronger ones and now they feel just awesome! At this price I can really recommend them to anyone.

I went and bought a set of these after you and every other reviewer said such great things about them when they were released. Upgraded from my g920 pedals, potentiometers had gone from sawdust. DIY wood rig problems. Since then I’ve done a bunch more work and got these pedals good and dusty with no issues ever showing up. They’ve been flawless despite being pulled off and remounted 10+ times. Best way I can think to describe the brake pedal is mindless. In a good way that is. Is just disappears beneath my foot and the car just does what I want smoothly and predictably. Truly a worthy upgrade and glad I followed reviewers advice and got a good pedal set before upgrading to a direct drive wheelbase.

I use the original CSL pedals. I watched a review on boosted media's channel and ordered the v2s ,the selling point was the fact that the load cell sensor is at the base of the pedal whereas the v1s was at the top which meant that from time to time I would notice that my braking wouldn't be enough because my foot slid down on the pedal face and the force wouldn't register on the sensor ,so hopefully that won't be the case with the v2s

I'm ditching my Clubsport pedals, ordered these after trying several mid to high end sets. The gas & clutch (which I don't often use) are fine, nothing special but I was amazed by the brake pedal. I've used load cells since I started out, but this one is something special. I actually think that it's very close to the high end Asetek and another unpronounceable, unsellable make, both of which were around 3× the price. Wow, Fanatec have really done sim racers a massive service with the CSL DD 8Nm & these CSL ELITE V2, got to be the best sim racing combo going. Now I just got to wait for my delivery to arrive.

Lol For me even the gas feels better then most in this price range also imo that is. It's not so loose its crazy.

I switched from BJ Steel F1 pedals to CSL Elite V2s because of my seating position. I swapped the gas and clutch because I like a stiff throttle and they're perfect for me. I don't think I'll ever need higher end pedals than these. Also the throw distance was way too long for me, so I took some M6 rubber spacers and double sided taped them to the stops behind the pedals.

I'm Slightly confused. I swear the post I was commenting on was someone saying they had csl peddles and bought the V2's and found that the clutch swapped out for the throttle has a much better feel. And that they got the V2's on ur recommendations. I did this swap exactly and the purchase based on ur opinion. I absolutely couldn't be happier. I'm thrilled to hear your thoughts and opinions on this set match my own as I have only just 8 months ago found sim racing. So ya, not sure how my comment got here, and thank you for all your work. It has helped me personally very very much. Sorry for the confusion.

Many say the same about Logitech non load cell pedals. Just be careful with your advice. You don’t upgrade to a better race car and instantly expect to be as good as others in that car. It’s very tempting to go back to your comfort zone. Proper load cell brakes make you slower for a little while as you learn how to use them. It’s like learning a new language. Either way, your comment will help people to make up their own minds

Nothing changed from the V1 except maybe the sensors in the throttle and clutch which really only adds a few bits more precision that no one can reasonably take advantage of anyway. Before you would buy the v1 pedals and buy the load cell kit separately at a later time, or get them together as a bundle. Now, as an original V1 owner, it is literally impossible for me to upgrade to the load cell kit like I had originally planned and which was why I originally bought these pedals in the first place. Now the only thing I can do to upgrade the awful brake on my pedals is to add an aftermarket elastomer cushion to replace the foam one.

The problem i have is that i cant push the elastomers so my like in your video. Even with 3x65 my brake barely moves.

Would be then be considered a downgrade from my V3’s ? I’d like to upgrade, but there’s been zero word about any podium pedals & sadly I fear it might be years, based on all the QR2 delays which has now become a meme.

if you have v3s and are happy, i wouldn't get these. i do think the brake is better but if you're upgrading from v3s, consider something like the simforge pedals maybe.

biggest problem of this pedals is the elastomers, this are going to be dead, and brake will start "feeding brake input" without any force after 3-5 months of use
@LaurenceDusoswa
@LaurenceDusoswa 5 ай бұрын
I have had pedal sets with elastomers for years and never experienced that issue. the only issue elastomers have is that they are only effective and accurate to 50% or so. after that they deform and wear hard. That's why cup systems are great.

@TheKilerfish 6 ай бұрын
9:18 you're wrong - there are exactly 20 combinations, as the order at which we install the elastomers doesn't matter for the final force required to brake. x,y,z are different values of hardness, we have 2 springs so twice the combinations XXX YYY ZZZ XXY XXZ YYX YYZ ZZX ZZY XYZ
