Review on ๐Ÿ’ฏ Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder: Next-Gen Compatibility for PS4, XBOX Series X/S, One, and PC Gaming by Aaron Martin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheap plastic, doesn't stay in the middle, not much of a dead zone

The product came with a broken plastic clip that allows the right pedal to operate the crossbar giving you handlebar movement. I managed to put a small bolt in its place and secure it with a nut. Thrustmaster could easily do this on a critical component as if it would break the entire kit it would be useless. It seems silly to spend money on aluminum rails but make a critical component out of a very brittle piece of plastic that is subjected to constant stress. Also, without a large dead zone, the product will not hold zero. The TFRP calibration tool shows my pedals are set up correctly and I followed the instructions to keep center and deadzones in the controller, but Windows and every game report full right pedal travel and they don't center. I've tried all the ways of removing the device, changing USB ports and updating Thrustmaster's drivers. Either I have a bad set or it's just a bad product. A quick google search shows that many other people have had similar issues, so I choose "cheaply designed, poorly made product". A real shame. It is robbery that they are being sold at such a price. They should be half the price of what you get.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Minor issues
