Simagic P1000 Pedals with HPR Haptics REVIEW

[@1FastMKVSupra]

I have a full Simagic GT setup with their P2000 pedals and the HPR's on gas/brake pedals as well. Honestly, their gear is incredible, i couldn't be happier. My last setup was Fanatec gear, so it was a massive step up but gotta say, Simagic is hitting a sweet spot on price vs. quality.

[@Slow370Z]

They fit TLCM’s no problem?

[@brycetucker1859]

I just recently made a new setup with all Simmagic gear. P1000’s with haptics, alpha mini and GT NEO. You are not going to beat their stuff for the price

[@Mogzilla86]

Looking to upgrade all my fanataec gear, little by little ideally, do you know if you can use SIM magic pedals whilst using fanataec DD? I don't know how married into each other these things are

[@1FastMKVSupra]

@@Mogzilla86 I'm honestly not 100% sure thought i don't see why not. There are many people using mixed setups, for instance, many folks think Heusinkveld are the gold standard for pedals and use those with all sorts of different wheel bases. As long as you have each connected via USB or input and both are able to communicate to the PC, don't see why it wouldn't work.

[@Mogzilla86]

[@gmanuk1986]

I have been using these pedals for a week and agree with everything you said, great review and an awesome pedal set

[@dannyleeracing]

The right haptic in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world

[@filipivan5125]

I got two HPRs attatched to TLCM pedals and while o paid same price for hprs as I did for the used pedals I am so happy with this setup. Total cost around £300. Racing on Playseat Logitech, G920 and Quest 3.. its an absolute blast 😊 I am drooling all over Simagic Alpha mini with GT Neo, maybe one day….

[@wdodoo4707]

How did you connect the haptics to your pc? Did you buy the control box meant for the 2000 pedals? I am looking to do the same on Simjack Pros.

[@filipivan5125]

Awesome review! Clear focused and entertaining. Curious about these pedals without building a sim yet but stayed for the well put together edit. Subbed.

[@SmokinKipper]

Wonderful review, I appreciate the the extra work you put into this!

[@youngyingyang]

Adding the hydraulic option makes those pedals even greater and more realistic!!

[@DrR1pper]

hydraulic for brake or throttle?

[@madgamer574]

They are constantly improving these. You have the new iteration that fixed the recessed screws in the pedal face that annoyed some people

[@SimStig]

Such a great review Danny! 👏 I have had these for around 8/9 months, Previously owned the HE Sprints, laptimes was the same within a couple of tenths per lap so nothing really to be lost or gained here really choosing either, but ive been a long Buttkicker user well over a decade and currently own 2x Buttkicker Plus for my rig and Simhub, these make an absolutely wonderful addition to these + I have the Simagic Hydro handbrake with the Haptic also, my entire rig is just on fire with detail, the Simagic Alpha base I own shakes also with engine RPM, just outstanding stuff, regarding what you was saying I couldnt agree more, well tbh best review ive watched in ages👏 I own the Hydro brake + Throttle also on the P1000 + Simray and RGB heelstop, best pedals on the market at these prices!

[@dannyleeracing]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting with great info about your setup. The buttkicker and HPRs go hand in hand together - the buttkicker is like a shower of vibration over the entire rig, whereas the HPR's are much more local and focused

[@guitartube5822]

This is great. Are the P2000’s just like the next level up or just a different look of the same thing? I’m about to invest in an upgrade after my Moza R5 bundle has hooked me on sim racing in the last few months. I’m seriously considering all Simagic.

[@shadowpudding3784]

Go for it

[@dannyadams5250]

Hi Danny, I’m watching your video as I write this. I had to pause to let you know that your channel is quickly becoming my favorite. You do a wonderful job of explaining the product and expressing your feelings about it. My rig is very similar to yours, but I have the original pedal plate of the prime cockpit. Please tell me, what is that pedal plate on your rig?

[@dannyleeracing]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it - The pedal plate featured is GT Omega's new Adjustable pedal plate - I'm still putting them through their paces, but I'll have a review out on them soon. Long story short, though, if you have a genuine need to switch pedal positions then these are pretty decent, but if you never need to swap positions around then the standard prime pedal plate (profile version) is by far the more better and more solid choice.

[@dannyadams5250]

@@dannyleeracing Thanks for the info. I will be ordering that upgrade soon. The p1000 are also in my near future. For now, I will continue with my V3’s.

[@tigerbalm666]

I has the Clubsport V3 and don't use the pedal haptics. That's cuz I use big transducers under the pedal plate and rig...absolutely a game changer for sim experience!

[@reviewforthetube6485]

The thing i love about simagic is even with my wheelbase if settings are done correctly with friction and inirtia i can feel my abs and lockup through my actual wheel when braking. Only wheelbase ive ever felt it on and then I get these haptics on top of it? What an immersive game changing experience. I will say i find it funny how horribly i had my wheelbase set for a few months a while back. The transformative difference with dettings from simagic is nuts. I csn feel slip angle now even! Its also as if noe my wheel and the pc knows and i can turn in eay easier now its like my ffb grabs shold snd the grip is better. Its weird. Some people ssy ffb doesnt matter with wheels like having alot but to me it so does. The difference in my driving was also transformative. Since i felt where my car was at perfeclty i could really turn in and or trsil brake better due to feeling how much angle my car has and feeling that edge of grip so well.

[@adamhebert7194]

Enjoyed the review, I’m deciding between these and VRS and your note about the P1000 being more enjoyable for your average racer just might sway me.

[@nathancarpenter8543]

Awesome review. Getting them over Black Fri dates 2024 in Australia. TLCM pedals you have been great but time to match pedals with base

[@georgejolliffe8187]

What effect config do you have on the clutch in SimHub out of interest? I’ve just bought a set and can’t find a useful effect to apply to the clutch.

[@BCSimracing]

These and the VRS pedals are on my short list. I currently still run my very first set of Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals with an elastomer mod. I have a feeling that my braking performance will improve as it pertains to accuracy, smoothness, and consistency, despite being pretty "not terrible" with my tired old Thrustmasters

[@reviewforthetube6485]

I just realized you havent made a members only video for over a year? I love your channel qnd have been subbed for a while. A month here and there missed but im wondering what am I getting for the money that others dont get anymore? Im always going to support you but almost feels like im spending momey for things I dont have to spend money for? I want to be a member but I would love for there to be things that we get for said membership like before. Much love just some constructive critisism.

[@dannyleeracing]

I totally agree, I've been pretty poor at offering anything 'over and above' and I should really do something about it if I expect people to remain members. I've been so locked in and focused on just creating the next video, then the next video, that I haven't had the time to set any true, original members-only stuff aside. I appreciate your support up to now and perhaps I'll have something worth the wait soon. A blooper video is highly overdue.

[@chrisc3825]

mine do not have the bar that goes through the elastomers or spacers and my elastomer and spacers do not have holes in them

[@dannyleeracing]

How long ago did you buy it?

[@Lucas_Pit]

Same here. It must be quite new as well. My set is not even half a year old. @dannyleeracing : I indeed strongly suggest you to check out the hydraulics on the breaks and the new option for the throttle pedal, it is a breeze when racing cars without TC and helps to get the car out of the corner.

[@anticalgary]

I have these. Hydraulic brake is a must. Love them to bits

[@dannyleeracing]

That's interesting to hear - I'm about to try the Invicta pedals which are the first hydraulic action pedals I'll have used. Maybe Simagic might offer the hydraulic upgrade so I can compare at some point

[@anticalgary]

@@dannyleeracing I had the standard brake for half a year and the hydraulic upgrade staggering how much more control the upgrade gives you

[@KingCasaba]

My $250 t300 clutch died.... So I spent $1700 on simagic gear. The pedal angle adjustments are what sold me in the end v other options.

[@johnsoto7112]

I’m looking to buy the p1k or p2k. Is there any difference between both when both have been fully upgraded with hydraulics and haptics?

[@louismarauding4300]

hi guys, i,m rather new in the world of sim racing, now i have a question: is it possible to connect this to console using simhub? . My wheelbase is DD pro for pc/ps5

[@Wilayaat]

Great review, high quality as always. I currently have the GT Neo steering wheel paired with CSL DD 8Nm + Elite v2 pedals. Next switch is the Alpha wheelbase and further down the line (as TBH I really like the feel of the Elites) I think it'll be Simagic pedals too. For haptics I'm using the Dayton bass shakers, once I got the settings dialled in they are great.

[@dannyleeracing]

Thank you! I did have my eye on the GT Neo for sure.

[@ronan0maly]

For all the hate that the vibration motors on the Fanatec V3 pedals get, I think they're great and definitely way, way better than not having them at all. Sure, they're on the weak side, but I can still feel them through my Sim Hound shoes and adjust my inputs due to their outputs. These pedals look like a great upgrade, though...

[@dannyleeracing]

I did a 12 hour solo nurburgring on the V3's and those little vibration motors gave my feet a nice lil' tickle to keep me focused

[@Gorilla_Jones]

What I want to know is with the clutch haptics, can I set it so at a particular point of travel, I can have the haptic motor and give a really nice clunk. That’s all I care about.

[@steirerblut_]

Thanks for the video. Ive been using my p1000 2 pedalset for almost a year now and really love them to bits. However my only pedal experience where on some cheap Logitech pedals. I haven't noticed that they're also offering that spring/elastomer set and did not bother about the haptic motors as I thought its just a costly gimmick. I have just ordered 2 haptic motors, the required power supply and the spring-elastomer kit through my local distributor. Have a nice weekend 😇

[@dannyleeracing]

Great stuff, where'd you buy from? Always looking to find out where folks typically go

[@steirerblut_]

@@dannyleeracing I bought it at simracer austria. Just a local dealer a view Kilometers from my place. 🥰

[@e.ozduru]

Hi man. What about hydraulic brake if you have on your gear.. Does it worth it, i almost ready buy Simagic P1000-F Formula Dual with HPR's but i don't know so much about hydraulic.

[@HectorYague]

I have the P2000 with the haptic motor add-ons. They work wonderfully: top end gear at an amazing value. Love Simagic!

[@dannyleeracing]

Thanks for your input, maybe some day the P2000's will find their way under my feet, but good to hear from customers!

[@GrigoriadisNikos]

have you found the pedal angle itself, not the pedal plate, is it too steep and make it hard to push the throttle fully?

[@shanesyoutube]

A week or so ago I upgraded from the clubsport v2's to the P1000i (inverted) and have not looked back. Also I have pretty much had the same experience. The hasptic should be ordered on Monday :)

[@SC_46]

Have you tested to see the difference in terms of lap time if you are faster now?

[@shanesyoutube]

@@SC_46 I am heaps faster and way more consistent and I have the brakes set at a comfy 50kg pressure. Is that because the pedals are way better or is it because I play so much more now? Bit of both. Honestly all I know is the Clubsports feel and look like toys compared to them but with the price difference that has to be expected. 6 months after I got them they are now fully pimped and no buyers remorse. Very happy with them.

[@SC_46]

@@shanesyoutube Thats an interesting take since many people have said the V2's perform better than pedals in the same price bracket as the P1000's, due to the brilliant brake pedal on the V2's. I might have no choice but to get the P1000's which will be great. But it would of been nice to have $500 more up my sleeve whilst getting the same results.

[@shanesyoutube]

@@SC_46 Make sure you get the haptics eventually, brake throttle and clutch (I use the clutch for road vibrations and impacts). Smiles per mile is huge.

[@SC_46]

@@shanesyoutube yeah I'll definitely get the haptic for the brakes but I don't need it for the clutch and accelerator. Man I'm conflicted I found a reddit where everybody is shitting on the P1000's I don't know what to do anymore.

[@PietroPizzi]

Hi. I have a Qestion: Is the second stage on the clutch "sound damped" or like their old one a loud metal on metal clunck? And how would you describe the noise from the rumble motors when you press the peddal and therefore stabilise it, when the ABS or traction control kicks in (not when you let it loose, like most YTers show/test them)?

[@bearsjunky23hof88]

I own these with the haptics in a 2 petals set and I can't be happier with them. I do have some slight squeaking with the brakes. Now I think it's grease but I'm not sure but a black substance seems to collect on the brake shaft. A simple wipe with a towel solves the problem. It's a 9.9 out of 10. I can't recommend them more.

[@dannyleeracing]

There's a grease tube in the box, so I'd imagine there's a need to grease 'em up after a certain period of time to avoid the squeakage. Thanks for chipping in your experience, it's really helpful to have real customer experiences

[@bearsjunky23hof88]

@dannyleeracing thank u.. mine did not come with grease, but I also got the first batch, and I got it from an american vendor. I did notice your version has a different/extra throttle spring. Mine did not come with one. That just tells me they have listened to customer feedback. I did not mention how good your review was so thank you.

[@brentonedwards]

Another great review 👍 Someone mentioned that the heel plate was a bit narrow, did you find this an issue at all? Do you know how deep it is by any chance?

[@dannyleeracing]

Thanks man - I didn't have any trouble with the heel plate, it did the job for me just fine. But, whenever people comment about the ergonomics of things you can't really discredit them, we're all built a bit different

[@dauntae24]

I feel spoiled that these are my first set of pedals.

[@Angelo-ej7vs]

Are you setting the pedal plate parallel to the ground of is the camera effect? Because I am thinking about doing the same. I feel that the pedal are in a too much vertical position as I have it now

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

finally someone other than fanatic got that idea to do haptics

[@mkatakm]

Is it really worth much to put feedback on pedals other than brake?

[@dannyleeracing]

I'd say the throttle is worthwhile as you get road rumble through it and gearshift 'clicks' too

[@mkatakm]

@@dannyleeracing ok, I will get 3 of them. Thanks.

[@MegaIronica]

Hi! Can you please make a tutorial on how to set up the Butt Kicker with Sim Hub? I used to be able to set up wheel slip very well because, for me, it is the most important for driving on the limit. However, lately, I just can't get it to work, and there is a weird message saying iRacing doesn't support that effect. Also, if there is a way you could share the file for the settings you are using, it would be very nice 😊

[@Its_d3niel]

What cockpit do you have and where did you get it from? I'm curious as I saw the formula adjustment on the pedal plate so could this be a good alternative to the likes of NLR F-GT Elite?

[@texnorthman]

My setup with Simgrade VX-Pro pedals currently consists of a Simagic Haptic unit on the brake which only does ABS, and a Buttkicker under my seat for all the other haptics. I am considering another Simagic Haptic unit for my throttle but I am not entirely sure I really need it as the buttkicker gives a lot of good information.

Hey Danny. I've been trying to decide between P1000 with haptics and maybe hydraulics, an invicta set or a forte/ la prima pedal set. Having tried all three, What do you recommend? I'm tempted to go p1000 for haptics. I do have a seller locally who has a TK pedal set from microcenter, a rebranded la prima pedals, for $200. I might try those first.

[@dannyleeracing]

The P1000s with haptics is more fun, the Forte pedals perform around the same, but the Invicta pedals have been better for me for performance, but you MUST watch the Invicta review I released a month or so back as they have a strong flavour, one which I happen to love, but not everyone will! I've never tried the hydraulic addon for the P1000 so can't speak from experience, unfortunately

[@jeremymartinez6024]

Do you still need to purchase the HPR power supply if plugging directly into the P1000?

[@dannyleeracing]

Yes, they need additional power

[@MrDanesorensen]

Anyone compare these to the VNM V1's using the damper & performance bushings kit? I understand those pedals were the favorite of Boosted Media (2nd to the Active Pedals) and they have an adapter to fit the simagic haptic motors. Would love to know which is better.

Just in case anyone is concidering simagic products. I installed the simagic shakers to my fanatec pedals. The result was that the connection from my wheelbase to my iracing simulator was destroyed.
