If you prefer, you can simply install one of these third party pedal plates to create a completely custom pedal setup. I don’t think this is what Thrustmaster were thinking about when deciding to let users remove the pedals. But it is a nice option to have. The more customization with almost any product is good! Then there is the new conical brake mod, which is from the standard T3PA pedal set. The conical brake mod is a piece of high-density rubber, shaped like a cone. With the Pro pedals you can hinge the pedals from the top, rather than the bottom. This gives an even closer representation of a real road car. But this comes at an extra cost.

The main issue with trying to use Fanatec pedals with a Thrustmaster wheel Xbox or Fanatec pedals with a Thrustmaster wheel PS5, is that these consoles only support 1 USB input device. This means that both Xbox and PS5 can only have 1 input device plugged in at once. Connecting Fanatec pedals and a Thrustmaster wheel in to separate USB ports counts as 2 inputs, and therefore wouldn’t work on Xbox or PS5 out of the box. You will require an adapter. To start with, you should know that the T3PA pedals are completely plug and play. This means that all you have to do is connect them to a compatible wheel base, (any of the T range of wheel bases) and they’ll work.The Best F1 23 Racing Wheels View the very best racing wheels for F1 23 on Xbox, PC & PS5. View the best wheels The T3PA Pro has a decidedly industrial design that is largely attributable to the fact that it is designed to be used in F1 or GT (inverted) positions – and us such must be somewhat more modular in aesthetic. Form is perhaps a secondary consideration with the pro model, and users will appreciate that no expense has been spared in pursuit of extreme functionality and versatility. Read our full review of the T3PA Pro pedals where we compare them to these T3PA pedals, and find out which you should buy. These are designed to work on all T range Thrustmaster wheels, and they should be a must buy for those who have a T300 or TX racing wheel. If you already have a T500 RS, these are practically the same but with the extra braking mod. This pedal set really should be your starting point when buying a Thrustmaster racing wheel. And you should ideally stay away from the standard two pedal set. The T3PA pedals are an improvement in every way.

The most important consideration when using any pedals – in games or in real life – is functionality, and both of these sets are built to function well for a long time. The improved design of the Pro model can’t be denied, but the standard set is nothing to scoff at in this regard. You can adjust where you place this rubber mod to give the brake pedal a few different sensations. You can place it towards the base of the pedal if you prefer a long brake pedal. This will give you a slight increase in resistance as you near the end of the brake travel. There are of course the T3PA Pro pedals, if you fancy another step up. The Pro pedal variant allow for even more customization by allowing you to invert the pedals. We would confidently say that you will be able to drive better with these pedals compared to the two pedal set. The clutch pedal allows the introduction of heel and toe braking and downshifting. And the brake mod allows you to have much better control over your overall braking technique.You can also mount the pedals from above. Effectively, by inverting the pedal mounting, you create a set of pedals which matches a real road car. This gives ultimate immersion when driving these styles of cars, and even better throttle and pedal control in certain situations. The T3PA pedals by Thrustmaster are an add-on pedal set which is compatible with the T300 RS, T500 RS, and TX racing wheels. They include a third pedal to improve gameplay over their two pedal cousin.

On a straight level road, I'm using AUTO because that's the fastest gear,and it won't downshift on me then. On almost any other terrain, I use the appropriate manual gear. Read my comment again I never said I would only use high on straight roads I said mostly straight as I would not use high in a place where there was continuous 90 degree turns for example as i could not maintain the speed. If you have previously used the standard two pedal kit that comes with Thrustmaster wheels, these will feel familiar. The brake and throttle pedals both feel almost identical to the two pedal kit. We found mounting the brake and throttle one step closer to each other. And adjusting the angle of both pedals, the best way for us to heel and toe accurately. We would highly recommend paying the extra cost to add these T3PA pedals to your Thrustmaster racing wheel bundle. We’ve spent a lot of time testing the T3PA pedals to be able to bring you our in depth review, and show you why you should upgrade to this pedal set. We tested this in all four configurations, and preferred the longer brake travel, with a medium increase to resistance. For us, this felt the most natural, as the short brake travel just felt too unrealistic.

How are the T3PA-Pro pedals different?
