 Saitek rudder pedals January 6, 2009
Excellent choice for a gift. My son said they are exactly what he wanted, work very well with his flight simulator programs. He is delighted.
 Some software issure January 6, 2009
When all of the setting are correct the rudder pedals work great. But everytime I turn on FSX, I have to reset some of the axis. For some reason, the toe brakes default to the ailerons. After I set the toe brakes, sometimes I have to go back and reverse the axis. Maybe I do not know how the really fix this, but it is annoying
 Sturdy but unsupported December 16, 2008
I like these pedals and I like the company that makes them. It is nice to see them chugging away at PC peripherals when other companies gave up. The pedals are rugged and I have had little problem with them functioning and no issues with them breaking and I have owned them for 2 years or more.
What keeps me from giving this a higher rating comes down to three major issues.
1. Sensitivity and customizing the controls - I was unable to increase the sensitivity of the device so that my response time increases in game. You have some control over this but when you play a game like 'Battlefield 2' you can see that a on stick rudder control responds lightning fast and these things cause your plane or helo to respond like there is too much grease in the machine! This is a big deal in my book.
2. Unsupported - it has been 2 plus years since these have been out and I can find little in the way of games that support these controls. They are setup for driving games and/or flight but I cannot get them to work in the games that I play. I have trouble setting them up in Battlefield 2 because they tell the game they are the same axis as one of the X52 flight system devices (which I will rate separately). I do not know what causes this but it is quite frustrating. Saitek needs to be doing more with game companies to get them to support their devices and that probably means doing some extra work on their part to make it easy for the developers to port to their devices.
3. Software support - I would like to see better tools to customize the pedals separate from the X52 software setup. This has been one of Saiteks (and many other joystick manufacturers) weakest arenas. They make great hardware but their software SUCKS!!! Horrible to use, makes no sense half the time, why isn't point and click assignments a common tool in 2008? I remember have the Thrustmaster setup years ago and having to manually type all of the control settings and thinking - why doesn't someone put a picture of the device in here so you can click and assign. When I saw Saitek flight systems I thought they had done this but I was wrong.
Overall - these are great rudder pedals and sturdy as can be, which is necessary for a device that sits under your desk getting kicked constantly. It is also pretty good at resisting the encroaching dog hair and dust in the moving parts. I have listed the areas above where it falls short but I cannot recommend anything better if you are looking for rudder pedals.
NOTE**: I have not tried these with Flight Simulator X so I do not know if they are supported in the common flight sims. I only know that games that are mixed use and not full flight do not work so well with them.
This is a MUST have !!!!! November 18, 2008
I read the reviews before I purchased the pedals for my boyfriend (pros and cons) which were very helpful in my decision. The pedals arrived from Amazon on the day they were suppose to as well as Saitek Yoke and throttle combo. At first he had some problems with the brakes as some of you have with it showing at half even when not pressing on it but after taking the time which was only about 20mins he figured it out (he went to controls axes and put the check in the box to reverse). Everything works great he is very happy with the Saitek Pro pedals and also the Saitek Yoke and throttle combo. We highly recommend these products.
great product November 12, 2008
It's a really great product and I don't have any trouble using it. The only thing is that they don't seem to explain the knob in the middle enough. But so far it hasn't effected any thing at all. I highly recommend this product.
