Sim racing pedals: load cell, hydraulic, and active

Eight manufacturers sell sim racing pedals on their own US stores, and a ninth, Heusinkveld, sells the same class of hardware in euros with no US store at all. Complete sets start at $99.99, which is Thrustmaster’s Raceline Pedals LTE and the cheapest of the eight families’ cheapest sets, and the dearest single pedal here is Simucube’s $2,499.00 ActivePedal Ultimate. Both ends are per product: clutches, kits, and single modules run below the floor to $19.90, and buying that Simucube two or three times reaches $6,617.00 in one listing further down this page. The specification that separates them is not the price. It is which pedal carries a force sensor. A load cell brake measures how hard you push rather than how far the pedal moves, and that single change is the highest-value upgrade available coming off a Logitech G29 or a stock Thrustmaster set. Braking is where lap time hides, and the sensor type decides whether you can hit the same brake point twice.

The five kinds of brake, at a glance

Brake type	What it reads	Typical price of the set	Examples
Potentiometer	Travel, through a wiper on a resistive track	In the box with an entry wheel	Logitech Driving Force pedals (G29/G920/G923), on owner report rather than a Logitech spec
Hall effect	Travel, magnetically and without contact	$99.99-$149.99	Fanatec CSL Pedals; Asetek Initium; Thrustmaster Raceline LTE and III, which Thrustmaster labels H.E.A.R.T. and does not expand on either page
Load cell	Force, in kilograms of pressure	$149.00-$699.99 for a set that is not an active pedal	Moza SRP2, Simagic P700, Asetek Forte, Heusinkveld Sprint
Hydraulic	Pressure in a fluid circuit, through a pressure sensor	$829.00 and up	Asetek Invicta T.H.O.R.P. II, the only shipping example this page prices
Active	Force, and pushes back with a motor	$759.00 and up, per pedal	Moza mBooster, Simucube ActivePedal Pro and Ultimate

The bottom three rows measure pressure and the top two measure travel. The second row is the one people buy by mistake, because a Hall sensor is a genuine upgrade over a potentiometer and fixes nothing about consistency. Which products sit in each row, in their makers’ own words, is the filter section below.

Position, force, and the trap in the middle

A potentiometer reads pedal position: a wiper slides along a resistive track and the output is how far the pedal traveled. That wiper wears and gets scratchy, which is why high-mileage sets start registering input without being touched. The Logitech G29, G920, and G923 pedals are where most people meet the failure, and it is worth being exact about who says so: Logitech states no sensing method for those pedals at all. Both store listings call the brake a “Nonlinear brake pedal” and the G923’s adds that a “progressive spring mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake system”, which is a shape of response and not a sensor, and the word potentiometer appears nowhere on either page. It is owner reports of scratchy, jumping inputs that put the sensor behind them. The G29 and G920 and G923 reviews on this site work through what each listing does and does not state. To get any braking fidelity from a position sensor you need a lot of travel, and your leg has to land in the same spot every lap.

Hall-effect sensors fix the wear. They read position magnetically with no physical contact, so they do not scratch out and they offer higher resolution. But a Hall pedal is still a position sensor, and this is where the money goes wrong. Fanatec titles its $139.99 listing “CSL Pedals - Steel 2-Pedal Set, Hall-Effect” and specs the set as “Contactless Hall sensors (12-bit) on both brake and throttle for high precision and durability” (read 5 August 2026). Moza’s SR-P Lite, the set inside the R5 bundle, gives “Pedal Sensor Type” as “Hall Sensor” on Moza’s own spec table (read 5 August 2026). Thrustmaster names the sensor by an acronym it expands on some pages and not others: the Raceline Pedals LTE is “a 2-pedal pedal set featuring H.E.A.R.T. sensors” in its own words and the Raceline Pedals III is a 3-pedal set with the same line, and neither page, nor the T598’s, spells out what the letters stand for or uses the words Hall effect anywhere. Two pedal pages of its own do. The T-LCM’s reads “The H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) system”, and the Raceline Pedals III LC’s reads “The accelerator and clutch pedals feature Hall Effect (H.E.A.R.T) sensors”. So the acronym is Thrustmaster’s own for Hall effect, and the two cheapest sets are the ones it does not say so on. What the LTE page does say plainly is that a load cell is the upgrade rather than the fitment, describing a kit that takes the set “into a 3-pedal version with a brake pedal featuring a Load Cell sensor”. Three manufacturers, three ways of saying the brake still reads travel.

A load cell measures force instead. The output is how hard you press, largely independent of how far the pedal has moved, because it reads the strain in the sensor rather than the angle of the lever. Real car brakes are hydraulic and you modulate them by pressure, so a load cell reproduces the thing your leg is actually good at repeating. Hit 60 kg every lap and you get the same braking every lap, wherever your foot lands. That also unlocks clean trail braking, where you bleed pressure off as you turn in to keep the front tires loaded through entry.

What the kg rating actually means

The 60, 75, 100, 150, or 200 kg number on a spec sheet is the maximum force the sensor is rated for, not the force you press to reach 100% brake. You set the in-game maximum far lower than the rating, commonly 40 to 60 kg, which is plenty firm to modulate over a long stint on a cell rated to 200 kg. The pedal is a class-2 lever, so the force at the pedal face is lower than the force at the cell.

The ratings on sale today spread wider than most people expect. Logitech sells the RS Pedals as “165.3 lbs (75 kg) Load Cell & Hall Effect” and the PRO Racing Pedals as “220.4(lbs) 100kg Load Cell & Hall Effect” in its own product subtitles. Thrustmaster gives the Raceline Pedals III LC “220 lb / 100 kg capacity, 24-bit resolution”. Moza puts a “100KG load cell and 15-bit angle sensor” in the $149.00 SRP2 and a “200kg load cell sensor and a 15-bit high-precision angle sensor” in the $369.00 CRP2. Simagic describes the $189.00 P700 as “equipped with a 150 kg load cell and 35 adjustable brake settings”. A higher rating buys headroom above your set point, not a harder press, and pedal calibration and tuning covers where to put that set point.

Watch for a number that is not a sensor rating at all. Thrustmaster advertises the T3PM with “UP TO 200 KG” over the subtitle “Pressure resistance each pedal”, two elements of one feature block rather than one sentence, and pressure resistance is what the mechanism will take rather than what a sensor will read. The T3PM has no load cell in it: the words do not occur once on its product page.

The six lines that separate two pedal sets

Which pedal has the force sensor. Almost nobody puts a load cell on all three. The split is a load cell on the brake and contactless position sensors on the throttle and clutch, and every mainstream family states it that way. The exception is worth knowing: Moza’s mBooster carries “dual 200KG load cell sensors and a 21-bit high-resolution magnetic encoder” in one pedal that can be configured as throttle, brake, or clutch.

Brake force rating. Covered above. Read it as headroom, and read the units, because a resistance figure and a sensor rating look identical on a bullet list.

How many pedals arrive, and what the third costs. Two-pedal sets are the default at every price. Asetek, Logitech, Moza, Simagic, VRS, and Fanatec all sell the clutch as its own SKU, from $39.00 to $259.00, and the family sections below price each one. Thrustmaster is the odd one out: the $149.99 Raceline Pedals III and the $149.99 T3PM are three-pedal sets at the price of most rivals’ two-pedal sets, and the $249.99 T-LCM lists “3-pedal set” as its first line of box contents. Simagic prices the pairing explicitly, listing a P500 at $149.00, a C-P500 clutch at $59.00, and a “Bundle: P500+C-P500” at $179.00, which is $29.00 under buying the two apart. Whether you want a clutch at all is argued in pedal ergonomics and inverted setups; the short version is that most iRacing GT and formula content does not need one.

What they bolt to. This is the specification that is not on the pedal set at all, and it decides whether a stiff brake is worth buying. A load cell only pays off if you can reach the same pressure every lap, and a pedal tray that flexes under 60 kg moves the pressure instead of reading it. Fanatec ships the CSL Pedals with rubber feet for the case where they are not hard-mounted to a rig, which is the manufacturer telling you what happens otherwise. If you are on a desk or a folding stand, the mount comes before the pedals, and rig stability and cable management covers how to stop a frame walking.

How they reach the PC, and whether a console sees them. Three routes, and the cheapest sets often have only one. Fanatec’s CSL Pedals connect through the wheel base by default, and Fanatec’s own listing is blunt about the alternative: “USB functionality is only possible with the ClubSport USB Adapter or CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit.” Everything Asetek, Heusinkveld, Simagic, Simucube, and VRS sell in this category is a USB device in its own right, which is why a brand-agnostic set is the safer buy if you expect to change base. Console support is the tightest constraint of the three: a console generally sees pedals only through a licensed base, so buying pedals for a PS5 or an Xbox means buying inside that base’s ecosystem.

Haptics, hydraulics, and active force. These are three different things sold at three prices. A haptic module vibrates the pedal on an ABS or lockup event, and Simagic prices it as a $49.00 Haptic Pedals Reactor separate from any pedal. Hydraulics put fluid between your foot and the sensor for a progressive bite, and Simagic sells that as a $139.00 P1000 hydraulic throttle system and inside the P1000-RS and P2000 listings. An active pedal drives the pedal face with a motor so the resistance changes with what the car is doing, and the cheapest one here is Moza’s $759.00 mBooster while the cheapest Simucube sells is $1,849.00. Pedal calibration and tuning makes the case that a good load cell with a spring and elastomer stack gets most of the way to the first two.

Ways to buy pedals

Four purchases end with pedals under your feet, and they differ by what else is in the box.

In the box with a wheel. The entry bundles all ship pedals, and they are the sets everybody upgrades from. Logitech’s G29 and G920 and G923 each include the same three-pedal set, the one owner reports rather than Logitech identify as potentiometer; the Moza R3 and R5 include Moza’s Hall-sensor SR-P Lite family; the Thrustmaster T598 includes the Raceline Pedals LTE that Thrustmaster also sells on its own at $99.99. Fanatec sells the shape as a category, and Fanatec Ready2Race states which of its bundles carry a third pedal.

A two-pedal set. The default purchase at every tier, from $99.99 to $879.00 across the families below. Buy this one unless a car you actually drive needs a clutch.

A clutch, later. Every mainstream family sells the third pedal separately, from $39.00 to $259.00, and it bolts onto the set you already own. Buying two now and the clutch when a series demands it costs nothing except the shipping.

A single active pedal, or an upgrade to the set you own. Active pedals are priced per pedal rather than per set, so a Simucube or Moza rig is assembled one pedal at a time. At the other end an upgrade kit changes the sensor without changing the frame: Fanatec’s $99.99 CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit replaces the standard brake and lets the old brake become the clutch, and Thrustmaster sells a Raceline upgrade kit that does the same job on the LTE and the III.

Filter the families by sensor and actuation

The family sections below sort by manufacturer, because that is the axis a reader arrives on. This section sorts the same products the other way, on what the maker says reads the pedal or drives it. Six classes, and they are lists rather than a control: nothing here hides a product, and a set that answers two classes is named in both, which most of the load-cell sets are. Every line rests on the manufacturer’s own wording for that exact product, read 5 August 2026 on the store its family section already cites. Where a manufacturer publishes no sensor type, the product is named as unstated rather than sorted on its price.

Bundled and basic. The pedals that arrive under a wheel rather than being chosen and, Fanatec’s Ready2Race range aside, the ones the other five classes are upgrades from. Logitech’s Driving Force set ships in the G29 and G920 and G923 boxes, and Logitech publishes no sensing method for it anywhere, which is why it appears in no sensor class below. Moza’s SR-P Lite ships in the R3 and R5, and Moza states its sensor outright: “Pedal Sensor Type” reads “Hall Sensor” on Moza’s own spec table. The SRP Lite2 that followed it reaches a buyer the same way, and Moza’s US store sells only its $39.90 clutch and its $29.00 and $39.00 performance kits, none of which states a sensor type. The Thrustmaster T598 ships the Raceline Pedals LTE that Thrustmaster also sells at $99.99, in its own words on the T598 page: “Raceline Pedals LTE (Long Term Evolution) features 2 pedals with H.E.A.R.T. sensors”. Fanatec’s Ready2Race bundles split three ways across fourteen: nine ship the two-pedal CSL Pedals priced below with no clutch, two more ship them with the $99.99 CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit, and the last three, the ClubSport DD Rally bundle and both ClubSport DD+ bundles, ship the three-pedal $429.99 ClubSport Pedals V3, which is a load cell and a haptic rather than a basic set.

Hall sensor. Position read magnetically, with nothing touching. Fanatec states it on seven listings: the $139.99 CSL Pedals as “Contactless Hall sensors (12-bit) on both brake and throttle”, the $64.99 CSL Pedal Clutch Kit as a “precision Hall sensor”, the $199.99 CSL Pedals LC as “Contactless Hall sensors (12-bit) on both clutch and throttle for high precision and durability”, the $329.99 CSL Elite Pedals V2 as “Contactless Hall sensors on both clutch and throttle for high precision and durability”, the $429.99 ClubSport Pedals V3 under a heading reading “Contactless Hall sensors.” over “the magnetic Hall sensors of the gas and clutch”, the $449.99 ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted as “Contactless Hall sensors with 12-bit resolution” on gas and clutch, and the $699.99 Podium Pedals Formula bundle’s throttle as a “Custom Hall sensor assembly individually calibrated at factory”. The V3 listing carries the looser “magnetic and contactless sensors on gas and clutch” as well, which is the same claim without the word. One caveat on the CSL Pedals LC: Fanatec calls it “a bundle of the CSL Pedals and CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit”, so the kit’s load cell is its brake, and a heading-and-description block on that same page, under an <h2> reading “Magnetic sensors.”, nevertheless reads “Both the throttle and brake axes use precision Hall-effect sensors.” Asetek’s $119.00 Initium Pedal Set is the only set in Asetek’s own range whose brake is Hall rather than force: its spec rows read “Throttle (upgradeable)” as “Hall effect sensor” and “Brake (upgradeable)” as “2-stage spring loaded, hall effect sensor”. Simucube’s $499.00 Co-Pedal “utilizes a hall angle sensor for position measurement”. Thrustmaster is the awkward one. The $99.99 Raceline Pedals LTE and $149.99 Raceline Pedals III carry “H.E.A.R.T. sensors” and neither page expands the acronym, but Thrustmaster expands it itself on two other pedal pages: the T-LCM’s reads “The H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) system”, and the Raceline Pedals III LC’s reads “The accelerator and clutch pedals feature Hall Effect (H.E.A.R.T) sensors”. Moza’s SRP2 and CRP2 pair their load cells with a “15-bit angle sensor” and Moza never calls it a Hall sensor, so they are not counted here. The $149.99 T3PM is in no sensor class at all: the words load cell, Hall, H.E.A.R.T., and potentiometer occur zero times each on its product page.

Load cell. Force rather than travel, and the class most of this page’s money sits in. Logitech titles both its sets on it, “165.3 lbs (75 kg) Load Cell & Hall Effect” for the $159.99 RS Pedals and “220.4(lbs) 100kg Load Cell & Hall Effect” for the $379.99 PRO Racing Pedals. Thrustmaster’s $249.99 T-LCM gives “UP TO 220 LB / 100 KG OF PRESSURE ON THE LOAD CELL FORCE SENSOR” and the $269.99 Raceline Pedals III LC “a high-sensitivity Load Cell sensor capable of measuring loads of up to 220 lb / 100 kg”. Fanatec spans it from the $99.99 CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit’s “Custom-designed load cell sensor” through the CSL Elite Pedals V2’s “All-new load cell brake system” and both ClubSport V3s’ “Pressure sensitive brake with custom made 90 kg load cell sensor” to the $699.99 Podium bundle, whose brake cell Fanatec rates above 200 kg and describes as “calibrated for 150 kg at the pedal plate”, the dearest stated load cell here that is not an active pedal. The $199.99 CSL Pedals LC sits inside that span and carries the kit’s bullet verbatim, because Fanatec assembles it out of the kit: it is “a bundle of the CSL Pedals and CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit”. Moza puts “a 100KG load cell and 15-bit angle sensor” in the $149.00 SRP2 and “a 200kg load cell sensor” in the $369.00 CRP2, and names the $99.00 clutch a “CRP2 Load Cell Clutch Pedal”. Simagic states “a 150 kg load cell” for the $189.00 P700, and its two P1000 spec tables both give “Loadcell sensor” as “100KG”. Asetek reaches it through the M.L.C.P.C., the “Mechanical Load Cell Powered Cylinder”: the $349.00 La Prima’s “Load cell will sense up to 396 lbs of force on the face of the pedal plate”, and the $479.00 Forte and $529.00 Forte S-Series both listing “Brake Sensor:” as “Load cell sensor”. Heusinkveld splits it by pedal, “Force-sensitive 120kg load cell (brake pedal)” against a “Position-sensitive load cell” on the throttle and clutch of the Sprint, and “Force-sensitive 200kg load cell (brake pedal)” with the same position-sensitive pair on the Ultimate+. VRS’s $649.00 set gives “Loadcell sensor” as “Yes” and “Adjustable Brake Force” as “0-140 kg pedal face”. Two Simagic listings stay out of the class for the same reason as the T3PM: the $149.00 P500 and the $519.00 to $829.00 P2000 carry no spec table and no sensor sentence on their own pages.

Hydraulic and pneumatic. Fluid between the foot and the sensor, which is a different purchase from a fluid damper that only resists speed. Two complete sets here are hydraulic and both are Asetek’s, the $829.00 Invicta Pedals T.H.O.R.P. II and the $879.00 Invicta S-Series T.H.O.R.P. II. Asetek expands the name and states the mechanism on both, calling each “the groundbreaking T.H.O.R.P. II hydraulic brake system”, expanding the acronym as “(Twin Hydraulic Opposing Rapid Pistons)”, and adding that “The brake cylinder features an automotive grade pressure sensor”, so their brake reads pressure rather than a load cell. The S-Series at $879.00 is the dearest non-active set this page prices, and the $829.00 Invicta Pedals tie Simagic’s dearest P2000 variant exactly. Asetek also sells the way in from the bottom, listing the $119.00 Initium as “Upgradeable to hydraulic or load-cell brake system (upgrade kit sold separately)”. Simagic sells hydraulics as an option rather than a model: a $139.00 “P1000 hydraulic throttle system(P-HTS)”, a “Hydraulic Cylinder” row reading “Optional/lncluded” on the P1000-F and P1000-FRS spec table and “Optional” on the P1000-RS and P1000i-RS one, and a Checkered-Flag bundle built on the P2000-S200R whose feature list includes “Hydraulic brakes maintain consistent feel after heavy use”. Simagic expands none of its variant codes, so which of the eight P2000 builds ship a cylinder is not something its store states. Three products that sound like this class are not in it. Asetek rules its own Forte out, “while the Forte Pedals are not hydraulic, they still offer the hydraulic sensation of a fully depressed brake pedal because of the M.L.C.P.C. System”. Heusinkveld’s Ultimate+ gives “Hydraulic damping” as “Yes, adjustable 2-way damping on brake and clutch. Adjustable 1-way damping on throttle”, and VRS sells a “Brake or Clutch Damper” as “A hydraulic damper kit that smooths brake or clutch movement”. A damper resists how fast the pedal moves; it does not carry the braking force to the sensor. Nothing on this page is pneumatic. The pneumatic sets in the backlog’s specialist list are SimRacing-Pro’s, and this page prices no SimRacing-Pro product.

Haptic. A motor that buzzes the pedal on an event, sold two ways. Fanatec builds it in on both ClubSport V3s and describes both motors: “Vibration motor on throttle pedal indicates rear wheel spin and oversteer” and “Vibration motor on brake pedal to simulate ABS and indicate locking tires”. Simagic bolts it on instead, at $49.00 for the Haptic Pedals Reactor, from $39.00 for the P-HPR GT Linear Haptic Pedal Reactor, and $29.90 for the P2000 Haptic Control Box, with “Haptic Pedal Reactor” listed as “Optional” on both P1000 spec tables and P-HPR support named on the $189.00 P700. That split is the reason a haptic pedal costs what it costs: Fanatec charges for it once inside a $429.99 set, and Simagic lets a $469.00 P1000 owner add it later for $49.00. Fanatec’s $699.99 Podium bundle is deliberately not in this class. It lists “Haptic mounts for future expansion”, which is a place to put a motor rather than a motor. Nor are the active pedals, whose vibration comes from the same actuator that drives the pedal face and is described in the class below.

Fully active. A motor drives the pedal face, so the resistance itself changes with what the car is doing, and every one is priced per pedal. Moza’s $759.00 mBooster Active Pedal has “dual 200KG load cell sensors and a 21-bit high-resolution magnetic encoder” and “The high-torque density motor”, and the $949.00 mBooster Active Pedal Set is that pedal beside a CRP2 throttle. Simucube’s $1,849.00 ActivePedal Pro puts a bolded “1100 N (110 kg)” of force feedback behind the pedal face and answers the whole class in one line: “Traditional pedals only resist force. The ActivePedal can push back, simulating ABS pulsation, and other configurable car effects.” Its $2,499.00 ActivePedal Ultimate goes further, “The Simucube ActivePedal has no passive elements.” Two products sold to sit beside an active pedal are not active themselves. Simucube’s $499.00 Co-Pedal “is a passive pedal built to perfectly complement Simucube ActivePedal”, and Heusinkveld’s €389,00 Ultimate+ Black Throttle gives its “Sensor type” as “Position-sensitive load cell” and answers “Can this add-on product function standalone?” with “No, the Heusinkveld pedals in this Add-On only work together with a Simucube ActivePedal + the required Simucube ActivePedal Connector.” Both are load-cell or Hall pedals that happen to plug into an active brake.

Every current pedal family, with what its own store charges

Every figure below is the manufacturer’s own regular price on its own US store, read 5 August 2026, except Heusinkveld, which runs no US store and is quoted in euros for the reason its section gives. A discounted price is named as a discount where one is running.

Logitech

Three pedal products, and only two of them are sold on their own. The Driving Force pedals are the set inside the G29, G920, and G923 boxes, the one owner reports call potentiometer and Logitech gives no sensing method for, and Logitech’s racing category lists no standalone Driving Force pedal set to buy: this is the set everyone upgrades from, not the set anyone chooses.

Product	Price	What it is
RS Pedals	$159.99 regular, $149.99 today, marked Sold Out Temporarily	”165.3 lbs (75 kg) Load Cell & Hall Effect”, modular
RS Clutch Module	$44.99	The third pedal for the RS set
PRO Racing Pedals	$379.99 regular, $299.99 today	”220.4(lbs) 100kg Load Cell & Hall Effect”, swappable springs, removable pedal modules

Both sets put the load cell on the brake and a contactless Hall sensor on the accelerator, in Logitech’s own subtitles. Both are discounted today, the RS Pedals by $10.00 and the PRO Racing Pedals by $80.00, and Logitech’s own JSON-LD marks the higher figure of each pair as the strikethrough price, which is what the table quotes. A sale is not a price, and the RS Pedals are marked Sold Out Temporarily while theirs is running.

Thrustmaster

Five sets, $99.99 to $269.99, and the $99.99 Raceline Pedals LTE is the cheapest complete pedal set of the eight manufacturers priced in dollars here. Thrustmaster is also the family that puts three pedals in the box at prices where everyone else ships two.

Product	Price	What it is
Raceline Pedals LTE	$99.99	2-pedal, H.E.A.R.T. sensors, upgradeable to 3 with a load cell brake
Raceline Pedals III	$149.99	3-pedal, H.E.A.R.T. sensors
T3PM	$149.99	3-pedal, “UP TO 200 KG” of “Pressure resistance each pedal” across a feature heading and its subtitle, no load cell
T-LCM Pedals	$249.99	Load cell brake to 220 lb / 100 kg, 16-bit Hall on the other two
Raceline Pedals III LC	$269.99	Load cell brake, “220 lb / 100 kg capacity, 24-bit resolution”

The T-LCM and the T3PM have a product page on thrustmaster.com and no listing on Thrustmaster’s own eshop, where the three Raceline sets and their spare parts do appear. That is a fact about two storefronts rather than a discontinuation, and the T-LCM’s spare springs, pedal heads, and cockpit adaptor are all still stocked there.

Fanatec

Six products in Fanatec’s US Pedals category, $139.99 to $699.99, plus the two upgrade kits that live one category over.

Product	Price	What it is
CSL Pedals	$139.99	2-pedal, 12-bit contactless Hall on brake and throttle
CSL Pedal Clutch Kit	$64.99	The third pedal for the CSL set, a “durable all-metal build and precision Hall sensor”
CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit	$99.99	Replaces the brake with a load cell and adds a USB connector
CSL Pedals LC	$199.99	The CSL set with the load cell brake already fitted
CSL Elite Pedals V2	$329.99	Load cell brake, the step above CSL
ClubSport Pedals V3	$429.99	The long-standing benchmark, with vibration motors
ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted	$449.99	The same set hung from a top plate
Podium Pedals Formula + GT Pedal Plates	$699.99	Fanatec’s top pedal set, sold in the category only as this bundle

Two things this catalog states plainly and buyers still miss. The base CSL Pedals are Hall effect, not load cell, and the $99.99 kit is what changes that. And the CSL set reaches a PC only through a wheel base unless you buy that kit or the ClubSport USB Adapter, in Fanatec’s words: “USB functionality is only possible with the ClubSport USB Adapter or CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit.”

Moza

Ten pedal products on Moza’s US store, and the shape of the range is unusual: no SR-P Lite or SR-P pedal set is sold on its own. Those pedals reach a buyer inside an R3 or R5 bundle, and the store carries their clutches and performance kits as parts only. Checked against Moza’s whole US catalog, 116 products in one page of its collections JSON.

Product	Price	What it is
SRP Lite2 Clutch Pedal	$39.90	Third pedal for the Lite2 set that ships in bundles
SR-P Lite Clutch Pedal	$39.90	Third pedal for the SR-P Lite set that ships in bundles
SRP2 Clutch Pedal	$45.90	Third pedal for the SRP2
CRP2 Load Cell Clutch Pedal	$99.00	Third pedal for the CRP2
SRP2 Pedals	$149.00	2-pedal, 100 kg load cell and a 15-bit angle sensor
CRP2 Load Cell Pedals	$369.00	2-pedal, 200 kg load cell, 15-bit angle sensor, carbon heel plate
mBooster Active Pedal	$759.00	One active pedal, dual 200 kg load cells, 21-bit magnetic encoder
mBooster Active Pedal Set	$949.00	The mBooster with a CRP2 throttle beside it

Moza’s own upgrade parts are worth reading before a whole new set: a $19.90 Brake Performance Kit fits the CRP2 and the SRP2, a $179.00 CRP2 Inversion Kit hangs the set from a top plate, and a $39.00 SRP Lite2 Brake Performance Kit stiffens the spring on the bundle pedals. None of the three adds a load cell to a Hall pedal, which is the confusion pedal troubleshooting untangles.

Simagic

Nine listings, $149.00 to $829.00, and one of them carries more configurations than any other listing on this page: the P2000 sells in eight variants, coded S or L, 100 or 200, and R or RF. Simagic expands none of the three anywhere on the listing, so what separates the eight is its own naming and not a sentence it publishes.

P500 Pedal	$149.00, or $179.00 with the $59.00 C-P500 clutch as a bundle	The entry set
P700 Pedals	$189.00	”150 kg load cell and 35 adjustable brake settings”, P-HPR pulse feedback support
P1000-F Pedal	$399.00	The cheapest of the five P1000 listings
P1000-FRS Pedal	$439.00
P1000 Pedal	$469.00	The modular set the P1000 line is named for
P1000i Pedal	$499.00
P1000-RS Pedal	$509.00	Its spec table gives “Hydraulic Cylinder” as “Optional”
P1000i-RS Pedal	$549.00
P2000 Pedal	$519.00 to $829.00 across eight variants	100 kg and 200 kg cells, standard and long pedal bodies

Simagic also prices the extras this page’s haptics line is about: a $49.00 Haptic Pedals Reactor, a $139.00 P1000 hydraulic throttle system, a $189.00 P1000 inversion kit, and 100 kg and 200 kg replacement load cells for the P2000 at $69.00 and $89.00.

Asetek

Nine products in Asetek’s US Pedals category, which prints its own completeness as “You are viewing 9 out of 9 products”, and every price on it is marked “Excl. Sales Tax”. Six of the nine are two-pedal sets and three are clutch systems.

Product	Price	What it is
Initium Pedal Set	$119.00	The entry set, brake and throttle, both “Hall effect sensor” in Asetek’s spec rows and upgradeable to hydraulic or load cell
Initium Clutch Pedal Upgrade Kit	$39.00	The cheapest third pedal on this page
La Prima Sim Racing Pedals Brake & Throttle	$349.00
La Prima Clutch System	$129.00
Forte Sim Racing Pedals Brake & Throttle	$479.00
Forte S-Series Brake & Throttle	$529.00
Invicta Pedals T.H.O.R.P. II	$829.00	Asetek’s flagship set, and a hydraulic brake: “Twin Hydraulic Opposing Rapid Pistons”, read by “an automotive grade pressure sensor”
Invicta S-Series T.H.O.R.P. II	$879.00	The dearest non-active set priced in dollars here, on the same hydraulic cylinder
Invicta Clutch System	$259.00	The dearest of Asetek’s three clutches, against $39.00 for the Initium’s

The gap worth noticing: Asetek sells no Forte clutch in this category, so the $479.00 and $529.00 Forte sets are the only two whose third pedal carries another family’s name. Asetek closes that itself on the Forte’s own listing, whose compatible-products list runs to the “Invicta™ Clutch System” and the “La Prima™ Clutch System”, so a Forte owner’s clutch is the $129.00 one or the $259.00 one. Every other Asetek family has a clutch of its own, the $119.00 Initium and $349.00 La Prima below the Forte on price and the $829.00 and $879.00 Invicta above it.

Heusinkveld

Heusinkveld runs no US store. https://heusinkveld.com/us/ answers 404, and its own store quotes euros with a VAT toggle, so the figures below are its tax-exclusive euro prices and are deliberately not converted: a rate applied to a euro figure produces a number no Heusinkveld page prints.

Product	Price	What it is
Sprint 2-pedal set	€449,00 excl. VAT	The entry into reference elastomer feel
Sprint 3-pedal set	€539,00 excl. VAT
Ultimate+ 2-pedal set Black	€974,00 excl. VAT
Ultimate+ 3-pedal set Black	€1.199,00 excl. VAT

The four rows above are the two families this page follows, and Heusinkveld’s Pedals listing runs to 14. The other 10 are a third family, RaceCenter, at €499,00 for the 2-pedal set and €684,00 for the 3-pedal; Silver finishes of both Ultimate+ sets at the Black prices; four clutch-only SKUs; and two Ultimate+ add-ons for a Simucube ActivePedal, the €389,00 Ultimate+ Black Throttle and the €699,00 Ultimate+ Black Throttle & Clutch. Checked against all 14, the €90,00 step from the 2-pedal Sprint to the 3-pedal really is the cheapest way into a clutch, ahead of the €134,00 Sprint Clutch only upgrade that buys the same pedal after the fact. The €225,00 step on the Ultimate+ is the dearest such step of the three families, above RaceCenter’s €185,00, but it is not the dearest clutch on the listing: an Ultimate+ Clutch only is €314,00 bought on its own.

VRS

One product, Pro Pedals, sold as two line items on VRS’s US store in dollars, and its JSON-LD is a single AggregateOffer of exactly those two with a $199.00 low and a $649.00 high.

Product	Price	What it is
Throttle & Brake	$649.00	The two-pedal set. VRS’s sub-line under that name says it includes the DirectForce Pro Pedals Controller, so the controller is what comes with the product rather than the product
Clutch Pedal	$199.00	The third pedal

Unlike Asetek, which stamps “Excl. Sales Tax” beside every figure, VRS declares no tax basis for these prices: in the page’s own embedded product payload, the taxIncluded field is null on every line item, and the page’s rendered text never states one. Both figures are what VRS prints beside the two line items.

Simucube

Simucube sells no conventional pedal set. Everything in its pedals range is an active pedal priced per pedal, plus one passive pedal that Simucube says “easily switches between throttle and clutch”, which is why it sits at the top of this page’s range without appearing in the two-pedal comparison at all.

Product	Price	What it is
Co-Pedal	$499.00	A passive pedal to sit beside an ActivePedal
ActivePedal Pro	$1,849.00 without the Link hub, $1,949.00 with it	One active pedal
ActivePedal Ultimate	$2,499.00 as the primary set, $2,059.00 per add-on pedal	One active pedal, Simucube’s flagship

The Ultimate’s multi-pedal listings are exactly those two figures added up: $2,499.00 plus $2,059.00 is the $4,558.00 two-pedal listing, and adding a second $2,059.00 gives the $6,617.00 three-pedal one. That is the clearest statement on this page of what an active rig actually costs, and it is why the pedals buying guide by budget stops well below it.

The specialists this page does not price

The backlog’s “Specialist pedal families” section holds 19 open items. Four of them are the Heusinkveld, VRS, and Simucube products priced above; the other 15 name makers with no price on this page, among them Sim-Lab, Cube Controls, SimGrade, VNM, SimRacing-Pro, Simsonn, SimJack, CAMMUS, Conspit, MECA, Simtrecs, RaceWerk, Venym, and the marketplace load-cell sets that arrive under a dozen different brand names. Some of them matter to real buying decisions. The most-commented thread with “pedal” in its title anywhere in this site’s research corpus is a cross-brand question about one of them: “Sim Lab XP1 Pedals - any good? Better than Simagic P1000? Better than VRS DirectForce Pro?”, at 134 comments. This hub prices the nine manufacturers whose stores it actually read, and quoting a price for the rest without reading theirs is the drift it exists to avoid.

Set price against usable price

The number on the listing is not the number that puts pedals under your feet. Six things ride outside the carton often enough to move a total: a baseplate, a clutch, elastomers, a controller, a power supply, and mounting hardware. Checked against each maker’s own box list on 5 August 2026, most of the six are already in the box, and the money that genuinely sits outside it lands in a small set of named places rather than spread evenly across the field.

Fifteen sets against six axes is ninety cells, and six of them are bold. Three of the six are a part with a price on it, and three are a gap where the maker says a part is needed and prices none. That ratio is the finding: pedal sets mostly ship complete, the exceptions are specific, and half of the exceptions cannot be costed from the store at all.

The one sentence anywhere here that makes a part mandatory. Fanatec’s CSL Pedals reach a PC through a wheel base, and Fanatec writes the alternative into its own listing: “USB functionality is only possible with the ClubSport USB Adapter or CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit.” That string occurs five times in the fetched markup of the CSL Pedals page and five times on the CSL Pedal Clutch Kit page, counted with grep -oF, and zero times across the other nine Fanatec pages this pass read. The adapter is $29.99, so a CSL set bought by somebody with no Fanatec base is $139.99 plus $29.99, which is $169.98. Nothing else in the fifteen rows above carries an “only possible with”.

A baseplate is a Heusinkveld purchase and almost nobody else’s. Heusinkveld is the one maker here that treats a rigid plate as a product rather than as part of the pedal, and its Sprint Baseplate listing says why: “With the brake of the Sprint pedals being able to cope with high forces (up to 65kg), a sturdy mount to your simulator rig is an absolute must. Standard pedal mounting plates of rigs often show excessive flex under these loads.” Both baseplates are €104,00 excluding VAT, which makes a usable Sprint €553,00 and a usable Ultimate+ Black €1.078,00, in euros throughout because Heusinkveld runs no US store and a converted figure is one no Heusinkveld page prints. Two things keep that from being a toll. Heusinkveld never says its own plate is the only stiff mount, so €104,00 is what its answer costs rather than what the pedals demand; and it says the opposite about the rig, on both baseplate listings, that the plate “does not allow you to install the pedals on a floor without further support, or in a wheel stand where there is no solid connection between the pedals and the seat. A full frame rig/simulator is always required.” Everyone else builds the plate in and states it: Asetek gives the La Prima a “Pedal base with integrated heel rest” and the Forte a “Heel Rest: Integrated heel rest”, Fanatec ships a heel rest inside the $139.99 CSL Pedals, and Moza answers the question outright in the SRP2’s own FAQ, “Do the SRP2 pedals need to be mounted on a cockpit or stand? No.”

The power supply is a one-product problem, and it is a gap rather than a figure. Every conventional set priced on this page is bus powered over USB, which is why fourteen of the fifteen Controller cells above cost nothing: six name a cable in the box, four name a controller or control box that ships with the set, two say the pedals are direct USB, and two are the Logitech and Simagic silences. The fifteenth is Fanatec’s $29.99. The exception is Moza’s $759.00 mBooster, whose spec row reads “Input Voltage: 110V~220V AC → 48V DC” and whose box list, complete, reads “MOZA mBooster Active Pedal x1”. No power supply appears anywhere among the 116 products in Moza’s US catalog, counted off its collections/all/products.json?limit=250 at 346,666 bytes. Three facts that do not add to a price: the pedal needs mains power, the box list does not carry a supply, and the store does not sell one. This page records the three rather than inventing the fourth.

Two mounting gaps, both documented and neither closed. Fanatec says it outright in the CSL Elite Pedals V2 special notes: “Bolts for hard-mounting the pedals are not included, because the required bolt length differs depending on the thickness of the mounting plate or type of mounting solution.” Asetek’s Initium is the quieter version, a box list running “Brake & Throttle Pedal Set, Hard Brake Spring, Allen Key 2,5mm, USB-C to USB-C cable” with no fastener in it, on a set whose dearer sibling the Forte ships eight M6 bolts, eight slot nuts, eight washers and eight hex nuts. Fanatec does sell three ClubSport Pedals V3 screws at $4.99 each, but each is a cosmetic single, and all three carry the same description to the character: “ClubSport Pedals V3 red anodized aluminum M8x20mm screw (contains one screw)”. On two of the three that description names a size the title does not, because the titles read M6x12mm and M8x16mm, which is a contradiction on Fanatec’s pages rather than one to resolve here. In both cases the hardware costs whatever a hardware store charges, neither maker prices it, and a figure here would be a guess.

The six cells that read “Not published” are Logitech’s and Simagic’s, and they are not the same silence. Simagic publishes no box list on any of its nine pedal listings, which is the same absence that keeps two of them out of the sensor classes higher up this page. Logitech’s is stranger, because the heading exists and the contents do not: both the RS Pedals and the PRO Racing Pedals page carry an “In the Box” tab label exactly once in the fetched markup and nothing under it, so what ships with a Logitech pedal set is not a thing this pass can quote. What can be counted is the catalog around them. Logitech’s racing category lists 18 products, and the only three that are pedals are the two sets and the $44.99 RS Clutch Module; no baseplate, elastomer kit, control box or mounting kit is among the other 15. The PRO Racing Pedals page does say the brake tuning parts are in hand rather than extra, describing “swappable springs” for clutch and gas “with swappable elastomers for the brake”.

Where the clutch stops being a purchase. Three-pedal sets close that axis by construction. Thrustmaster’s $249.99 T-LCM opens its box list with “3-pedal set”, Fanatec’s $329.99 CSL Elite Pedals V2 with “CSL Elite Pedals V2 (three-pedal set, fully assembled)”, so neither third pedal has a price. Two clutches are named and cannot be costed. Fanatec’s Podium clutch is promised on the $699.99 bundle listing, “The clutch pedal (sold separately, coming soon) is fully compatible with Podium Pedals Formula”, and none of the six products in the Pedals category’s ItemList is one. The Forte’s is the reverse case, and the Asetek section above already carries it: no Forte-branded clutch exists, the Forte listing’s own compatible-products list names the “La Prima™ Clutch System” and the “Invicta™ Clutch System”, and the cheaper of the two is the $129.00 in the table above.

The same pedals, bought two ways

Seven outcomes across six stores are sold two ways each, and the upgrade path does not always win.

What you end up with	Buying the parts	Buying the finished listing	Difference
Fanatec CSL, three pedals, load-cell brake	CSL Pedals $139.99 + CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit $99.99 = $239.98	CSL Pedals LC $199.99	Finished listing saves $39.99
Thrustmaster Raceline, three pedals, load-cell brake	Raceline Pedals LTE $99.99 + Raceline LC Upgrade $179.99 = $279.98	Raceline Pedals III LC $269.99	Finished listing saves $9.99
Simagic P500 with its clutch	P500 $149.00 + C-P500 $59.00 = $208.00	Bundle: P500+C-P500 $179.00	Finished listing saves $29.00
Simagic P700 with its clutch	P700 $189.00 + C-P700 $59.00 = $248.00	P700-C $209.00	Finished listing saves $39.00
Heusinkveld Sprint, three pedals	Sprint 2-pedal set €449,00 + Sprint Clutch only €134,00 = €583,00	Sprint 3-pedal set €539,00	Finished listing saves €44,00
VRS Pro Pedals, three pedals	Throttle & Brake $649.00 + Clutch Pedal $199.00 = $848.00	VRS’s own 3-pedal option, $848	Neither: the same figure
Moza mBooster on a plate beside CRP2	mBooster $759.00 + Base Plate $119.00 + Base Extension Plate $35.00 = $913.00	mBooster Active Pedal Set $949.00	Finished listing costs $36.00 more

Six of the seven rows go the same way and one does not. Among the four dollar savings the largest is Fanatec’s $39.99 and the smallest is Thrustmaster’s $9.99, with Simagic’s $39.00 sitting ninety-nine cents under the top and its $29.00 third; Heusinkveld’s €44,00 is a euro figure and sits outside the dollar ranking. Thrustmaster’s row is the one worth staring at, because the $179.99 Raceline LC Upgrade takes a $99.99 two-pedal LTE to a three-pedal load-cell set and Thrustmaster sells that exact result finished at $269.99, which is $9.99 under the pieces. The upgrade only wins if the LTE is already under your feet, in which case it is $179.99 against $269.99, a $90.00 saving. VRS is the honest outlier at the other end: its own store prints the three-pedal option at $848, which is exactly its $649.00 two-pedal set plus its $199.00 clutch, so there is no bundle to find and none is implied. Thrustmaster’s eshop returns ten products for “Raceline”, eight of them Raceline items and two the T598, and no standalone Raceline clutch pedal is among them, which is why the LTE’s third pedal has no price of its own in the table above.

The Moza row inverts because the $949.00 listing is not the same purchase: Moza’s own copy says the set includes “MOZA mBooster Active Pedal, CRP2 Throttle Pedal, CRP2 Plate and Extended Plate”, so the $36.00 buys a CRP2 throttle that the $913.00 column does not contain. One more thing about the Moza column. Its figures are the price field of Moza’s Shopify JSON, which is what this page’s Moza table quotes throughout, and four of the ten listings in Moza’s pedals collection also carry a higher compare_at_price: the mBooster at $799.00 against the $759.00 used here, the mBooster Set at $999.00 against $949.00, the CRP2 at $399.00 against $369.00, and the SR-P Lite Clutch at $42.90 against $39.90. So the Moza rows are Moza’s selling price rather than its list price, which is a discrepancy against this page’s own rule of quoting the regular figure, recorded here rather than quietly corrected in a section this pass does not own.

The family this comparison cannot price

Simucube appears in neither table above, and the reason is a currency rather than an oversight. The data-product_variations attribute on simucube.com/simucube-activepedal/ served euros on 5 August 2026, carrying "currency_symbol":"€" in the same payload and four variation prices of €2.508,75, €2.257,75, €4.528,17 and €6.673,02; neither an aelia_cs_currency=USD query parameter nor an aelia_cs_selected_currency=USD cookie moved it, across four fetches of that page. That is the same attribute the Simucube dollar figures further up this page were read from, so those figures are not ones this pass reproduced, and putting a euro Simucube row beside a dollar Fanatec row would be the conversion the Heusinkveld section already refuses. What the euro pages do show is that Simucube prices both axes it would otherwise contribute: its ActivePedal accessories category prints “Showing all 12 results” and lists a Simucube Baseplate at €200,80 and a Simucube Link Hub at €184,49. The one dollar step this page already publishes for Simucube is the controller axis in miniature, $1,949.00 for an ActivePedal Pro with the Link hub against $1,849.00 without it, a difference of $100.00.

Where the rest of the pedal pages go

This hub prices the families and states what separates them. Five pages carry the parts a hub cannot.

• Pedal buying guide by budget and brand turns the families above into picks at $200, $300-500, and $700+.
• Pedals or wheelbase first? settles the spend-priority question, including the case where a rigid mount comes before either.
• Pedal calibration: deadzone, pressure curves, and brake feel sets the max-force point, the curve, and the elastomer stack once the pedals are on the rig.
• Pedal ergonomics, spacing, and inverted setups fixes height, angle, and spacing, and covers whether you want a clutch and what inverting actually requires.
• Pedal troubleshooting: drift, calibration, and DIY upgrades handles a brake that will not reach 100%, a potentiometer throttle that sticks, and the mods worth trying before spending again.
