Review on 💯 Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder: Next-Gen Compatibility for PS4, XBOX Series X/S, One, and PC Gaming by Joe Patterson

I bought this last week despite a lot of bad press. They were cheap and plastic, too narrow, too light - they sucked to hell. Okay, they have a lot of plastic in them, but they don't feel cheap or flimsy to me. You can press on the plastic, but it won't deform. For around $80 you won't get a machined alloy. There are square rubber feet on each corner, which firmly stick to the floor (wooden floor) and cannot move the device during use. The pedals are very durable and comfortable. I use them in socks and there is plenty of room on and between them. The centerlines of the pedals are about 18cm apart, and each pedal is about 11cm wide at the center, which is about as far apart center-to-center as the Cherokee bagpipe I've flown is a real one. I suspect a lot of the excitement about them being tight comes from people who haven't seen them, let alone used them. The pedals move in parallel on metal rails, more or less silently and very gently. You can unscrew the heel pads and use them with your heels on the ground, just like in a real airplane. I've tried both but prefer the rest in place. I placed the device so that my legs were fairly straight and I could pedal smoothly and easily. I'm using them for Rise of Flight (WW1) so I can't comment on the brakes. I think for $89 these are great pedals - quiet, smooth and durable - and I'm very happy with them.
