Extra EMI tip, wrap the control box with aluminum foil. I had EMI and grounding didnt help, but wrapping in foil cleared it right up

[@MrLuumpy]

Ordered today. $ 200. on amazon. the ones without gas springs. I will add those later. UPDATE... Got mine...Love them. From central China to Anchorage, LA, then Seattle, in 4 days. UPS rocks.

[@StellaMyCat]

ive been really thinking about modding these for a sim rig focused on street cars, this channel is definitely the best ive seen for information about these pedals

[@MrLuumpy]

They are great.

[@mikentinohossi]

Bought these on your recommendation a month ago and love them. I swapped the elastomers for a mix of Fibroflex 70a and Hawkeng sim jack kit with a shorter,thicker pre load spring also I took the hard plastic off the pedal stops and replaced with silicone hose to quieten them in use (mainly accelerator).Many thanks and keep up the good work,great review, excellent pedals.

[@Nick-vp7lp]

So just ordered a 3 pedal set in black with 2 "hyd" from amazon. Im rebuilding my entire rig. I was only planning to get a new monitor and cockpit .... but one thing lead to another and now my old cockpit and fanatec gear (except shifter and handbrake) are sold... Ive gone for a couple of higher end options (rig and monitor) but can't go too crazy. These pedals look adaptable and incredible value for money, so right now, they'll be the ones for me. We're just getting into racing, so im sure they'll be great for what we need.

[@andreasotto1977]

What I do miss on these (and similar) pedals is some kind of "blow out prevention" for the elastomers. MECA, for example, uses steel cups surrounding the elastomers, my Girro Sim pedals have additional sleeves between the rod and the elastomers, both effectively limiting the maximum squeeze you can give the elastomers. This may not be an issue for everyone, but I consider myself as a "heavy breaker" and I remember having constant issues with the elastomers popping over the washers on my modded T-LCMs back in the days. Also, these days you read a lot of people going back to springs instead of elastomers because of the latter "wearing out", which is a sign of overuse. So yeah, would be nice if more pedals had such measures in place. (Afaik even the HV sprints don't.)

[@kuroshine]

Race beyond MAtter did a video sometime ago which started driving a lot of people to reconsider elastomer vs springs. I'm no where near advanced enough to fully appreciate the difference

[@aeppikx]

first i wanted to buy these , cause my sjp had alot of play after 6months, but than i bought ballbearings and upgraded my simjacks 😁

[@sam1kon]

which one you like more simjack pro or simsonn pro?

[@ciaranpraught]

Completely agree, these pedals are ace. Better than Simjack pros IMO. Thanks for the video!

[@richardpinter4688]

Thank You for this find. I use the T300RS and wanted the T-LCM pedals ( but same price or higher than this). Should get here any day now, waiting for customs to clear. For £150.88 should be a steal(now its £152.88).

[@Niodium]

Great video and I agree with the points in the review. I much prefer these over the Fanatec CSL V2s I used to have. I had some issues getting mine calibrated, but Simsonn support, through the Aliexpress messenger, were very responsive and helpful, and everything got sorted out. Great pedals at an amazing price.

[@harrysmith1986]

Have a set of V2s and thinking of selling and getting these... what you think? You happy with yours still?

[@chrisharris2153]

Awesome video, mate! Thank you for all the info! I got the Moza CRP pedals before I ever saw this video, but I will probably get these too just to test them out.

[@CoastGaming]

@@chrisharris2153 hey I’m curious on you’re opinion between the two if you ended your grabbing these as well, I’m in the middle of choosing between the two or the p1000 if It’s truely worth double the price almost

[@tjohnson22]

I had an issue on ams 2 with pedals and my CSL DD when assigning the throttle it would assign itself to the same as the steering managed to figure out a fix unplug the throttle pedal lead and plug it into the handbrake slot sorted 👍

[@VirtualRyders]

I just got mine last week and I love them. I can now trail brake with more control, downshift like I'm supposed to and the gas/clutch feel amazing. The Simsonn software is as simple as pushing calibrate, choose which pedal/s to do and press them fully 3 times. The only thing I changed was shorten the gas travel and used the black elastomers, the other ones made the brake feel like I had air in the brake lines. I do want to try the springs instead cause the elastomers seem to release a little pressure after depressing them to where you want. You can see it in the calibration software. I also have a Cammus order coming in but I think I might not use it because this feels great.

[@VirtualRyders]

I wanna say that I changed to the springs instead. The elastomers have this mushy feel to it like during the first few seconds, then it gets hard. You can see it in the software so now I just go full mechanical. I'm so glad Simsonn includes those in the kit. Oh and I'm still waiting on the Cammus pedals.

[@sik8324]

Keep us updated! ​@@VirtualRyders

[@davidmack9842]

What a fantastically useful review, maybe the best I can remember in any sim hardware video I've watched. Thanks so much for being this thorough. Excellent job. 👏

[@blessed4789]

They're about $105-110 here in China with 3 of those piston thingies.

[@drconflict629]

Ordered a set of these based on your review! Thanks mate.

[@SimRacingCorner]

Glad I could help!

[@JonathanvanZuijlekom]

Nice, I'm receiving mine today. Looking forward to testing them out myself. PSA, they have a black version and you can also opt for slightly curved pedal plates for brake and clutch.

[@airjulufel4634]

Are you happy with them?

[@renancervi7954]

Maybe I missed that part on the video, but is it possible to adjust the height of brake and clutch? Also, any suggestions to angle those pedals even more downwards so they don’t feel/look very flat?

[@2005hrabak]

You should make a video on how to adjust them. I want to make the throttle a little shorter but dont know how

[@jasoncords]

Great review! I wonder how it would stack up against the newly released Simjack Ultimate. I hope you'd find the time (and budget) to review those as well.

[@SimRacingCorner]

I do hope to get those new Simjack pedals in at some point

[@Josh-kr1cc]

Thank you. Well informative and thorough as usual. Im going for this pedal set

[@Eike_GP]

Thank you again for the great video! I always enjoy looking at your content because it is objective and from the perspective of the cheap buyer. I just ordered these pedals, but for €10 more because they come in black. Keep it up and see you on the track =)

[@mpresto15]

I had them for about a week. I only swapped brake spring to red one and kept stock elastomer and has worked well for me coming from v3 pedals. Issue is i have big feet and still did not like stock height of the pedals. I ended up buying vnm pedal plate which works great but brings the total cost up to 400 which is not ideal. Also wouldnt consider these pedals unless tou have a good pedal plate or aluminum rig. My ebay rig did not fit the width of vnm pedal plate so i had to buy extra hardware for it to fit.

[@NevReign]

Hi mate, appreciate the review. It helped me decide to go for these and im very impressed with them :) I just wanted to ask, I noticed a blue brake spring locator instead of the white one that comes with the brake pedal. You don't happen to have the STL for that, do you? :P

[@SimRacingCorner]

I have info on the 3D printed washer in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHm7pYaPe6qbf6ssi=VdPL3rZIssvpUBoy&t=159

[@minkyukang8691]

I've watched this review more than 5 times and have placed an order last week. I am hoping it feels better than my CSL Elite v2. Its brake feels OK but I am not entirely happy with the throttle and clutch. Hope this pedal gives me what I want. Unfortunately I can't spend too much considering the current economy!

[@brite2392]

How are you liking them?

[@minkyukang8691]

@@brite2392 IMO, Simsonn pedals are better than the CSL Elite V2. I am going to sell the fanatec pedals.

[@s6cks66]

I've been waiting for this review for a while! I'd like to ask you one question tho, if you take out the price difference, are these more recommendable than the Logitech G Pro pedals?

[@lucasaboia]

Just for reference, these Simsonn pedals are heavily inspired(copy) on the heusinkveld ultimate pedals

[@greenawayr08]

great review and mirrors my experience of the pedals and the EMI issue with my CSL DD. Great pedals at a great price.

[@airjulufel4634]

Awesome video! Looking to buy new pedals. Would you rather buy these SIMSONN or the SIM JACK Pro Pedals? Are they the same? Does the SIMSONN also have some heat-related calibration problems?

[@SimRacingCorner]

I never experienced heat calibration issues with either these or the SimJack pedals. But maybe that will depend on the climate.

[@JM-um3ql]

Awesome review! I had my Simsonn Pro Pedals for around a month or so but I started to have issues where the pedals were having gaps in pressure when used. (It would skip past 3-5% of pressure at the exact same point of the brake/throttle) I am sure it's not the EMI since I put the ground wire into the pedals exactly like you have shown. Not sure what to do...

[@drnkwai5600]

Recalibrate it

[@JM-um3ql]

@@drnkwai5600 Already been done, and its always the same exact spot no matter how i calibrate it

[@FellowshipOfTheAviatorZ]

​@JM-um3ql try the plastic spacer method he used to get them off of any metal. If that doesn't work perhaps that usb chip he used to cancel out any possible interference. It might just be as smple as some direct pedal adjustments rather than software calibration.

[@JM-um3ql]

@@FellowshipOfTheAviatorZ I'll give this a go. This is something I haven't tried yet

[@AlexTurbo]

Did you try the USB isolator method? Having some issues myself and can’t figure it out.

[@Xpl0jd1]

Hello Sir! Thx for your great reviews, i got my set 3 days ago based on your review and i am so happy with them so far, i went from TCLM with 3DRap mod, now im thinking of buying 3DRap mod or the Heusinkveld Upgrade Kit, do you plan to do any video with the heusinkveld upgrade kit on the Simsonn pedals, iv read that should be amazing upgrade.

[@SimRacingCorner]

I don't have any plans right now to try the HE Upgrade Kit, as I have too many other projects on the go right now. I've also heard good things about it, I would imagine it would work really well.

[@youngganghis5236]

@SimRacingCorner have u seen the SimDT option? It seems they come with the same Malvin Loadcell from HE and include Fibro Flex 80 shore (green) and 70 shore (white). I think the full kit it's 470 euros if not mistaken. My question is, can one just use the FibroFlex Elastomers (that they sell separately in a pack of 3) with the SimJack/Simsonn/SimRuito, maybe u could make a video on that? And also could we replace the Loadcell on this pedals for the Malvins ones?

[@tarushdei]

Thank you! I was waiting for your review before deciding on my pedals. These seem like the best value for money across the entire sim racing market. They are basically Sprints for 66% off, without a 66% discount in quality. I've heard some really good things about their customer service (huge for me) and they just released a blacked out set that is sexy AF. Looking forward to when I can order these and get them on my rig.

[@MrLuumpy]

[@roderickkennedy2192]

What an easy to follow, and understand review, good work sir. I recently purchased a Moza R5 bundle, with the sr-p lite pedals, and am looking at these and wanting them badly, lol. Will these be compatible, and is the set-up relatively simple, i have used tclm pedals in the past, and thought they were excellent. So these if suitable, or Moza srp, which seem to be out of stock everywhere atm, if you have read this far, thank you, looking forward to you're response.

[@marcushillerstrom25]

I use them on PC together with a R12, no problems at all. Setup is easy with their own software.

[@arthurnunesc]

I have the SimRuito pedals, pretty much the same as these, coming from TLC-M pedals these are great but you NEED to tune them to get the feel you want, they all come with very bad feeling out of the box. Also I have used SR-P and CR-P pedals and I would say they’re somewhere in between both, but they beat both in the customizability aspect.

Would you recommend upgrading from race sim engineering modified csl loadcell pedals to these pedals?

[@Ep1o]

Can you not use multiple springs in the brake pedal or do you have to use combinations of elastomers?

do you know how to stop freejoy from f reezing all the time? happens to a lot of ppl ive chatted that were trying to use it with the simjacks. (me aswell ofc). ty!! love your videos.

[@SimRacingCorner]

It's the same for me, it's almost like it's operating at a low FPS.

[@Sithhy]

What spring & bushing combo do you think would be the closest to replicating the brake pedal feeling of a typical sports car?

[@nativerezmedia]

Definitely not the hard ones, I use the red elastomers with the yellow spring.

[@JiriNovakCZ]

First of all, big thanks for the video. I ordered the 3-pedals set based on it. I would like to ask if it's possible to change the angle of the pedals. They are leaning forward (i mean towards me) too much for my rig.

[@SimRacingCorner]

What you can do, is remove the frames and attach them the other way around, so the angle adjustment is at the front.

[@fitchyyboi]

Would you say you prefer these over the simjacks?

[@YourLovelyJesus]

What I have heard is that they're essentually the same pedals but by different brands, which is why I think I'm going for simsonns sometime soon, since the simjacks got pupularity and now are super expensive and not worth it lol

[@harrysmith1986]

I currently have csl elite V2s. Worth selling and getting these?

[@RuiFarinhaPereira]

They are 12 or 16 bit ?

[@Ception12345]

Thanks a lot for the video! I've got these ordered along with a 80/20 rig. Do you happen to know what size bolts are used to attach them to the rig? Looks like I'll need some T-slot nuts but I'm not sure what size.

My budget pedals where an almost new T-LCM for £80 from a private listing, 30 mins drive away. The owner had installed a really nice upgraded brake mod elastomer set, £80 for them, with all the standard bits in a bag in case I wanted to downgrade/return to original or had to wait on replacement mod bit if it degraded or split/broke while I waited on a new bits. That's budget baby! Honestly I'm not good enough to justify high end stuff but these Simson pedals look really well priced. The guy I bought it off had purchased a £500 set of budget pedals...

My problem with the simsonn pedals is that the throttle has a kind of play or delay. This means that I accelerate, press into the pedal and when I press 3-4 centimetres nothing happens. But this is only the case with ACC or AC. It's not like that in Iracing where you have to adjust the pedal manually. Everything also works when calibrating in Freejoy. Only in Acc,Ets 2 our Ac is this error the same, so that I feel I have to press half the accelerator pedal to get a throttle input Does anyone have a solution?
