aims to deliver a super high-quality sim racing experience for both newcomers and pros alike, focusing on build quality, value-for-money and, most importantly, pedal feel. Unlike other manufacturers, Simgrade haven’t just focused on the brake, they’ve sought out strong performance across the board to help users with their speed and consistency.
However, Simgrade explain that the upright design is mostly down to the desire to create progressivity and feel in the pedals. Of course, the added benefit is that – with certain rig setups – the VX-Pros can save space thanks to a smaller footprint. All of the above means that the VX-Pro pedals look and feel incredibly high quality even before you start to use them in the simulator. There’s also a two-year manufacturer warranty and, interestingly, Simgrade claim that they shouldn’t need any maintenance thanks to the load cell design and sealed bearings.I’ll start with the throttle pedal. Right out of the pit lane it’s an incredibly precise and satisfying thing to use.
I suspect some of this is down to the printed circuit board designed by part-time sim-racing content creator Dan Suzuki and the high EMI resistance that’s inherent within the VX-Pro pedals as a whole.
