Sim racers know the lead-up to Thanksgiving is prime buying season, and this time the spotlight lands on something a little too good to be true. The Simsonn Plus X Racing pedals appear to be premium gear, but they’re priced significantly below those of their competitors. So what’s the real story, and do they actually hold up once you bolt them down and start turning laps?
- Why do these pedals feel high-end while costing less than most mid-range sets, and what’s hiding behind that price tag
- How does the adjustability compare to established options like the ClubSport V3s, and does it matter for frugal or desk-based racers
- What’s going on with the haptic and linear motors, and why is wheel-slip feedback a make-or-break feature for some drivers
- Are these really good enough to replace both low-end load-cell pedals and some mid-range contenders in the $400 to $600 bracket?
The deeper you get into this review, the more surprising these pedals become. From the sturdy base plate to the customizable feel, they deliver far more than their price suggests. The only hiccup arises from the haptic setup, especially if you rely on slip feedback, as DJ does; however, the core product itself delivers precision and build quality that outperform many similarly priced pieces of hardware. If you’re buying in that mid-range window, these might be the new go-to option, especially for anyone on a desk setup who needs stability without the luxury budget.
