Pros: Decent feel and extendable base platforms.
Cons: May have conflicts with certain programs, particularly MS FSx
Review:
Everything is fine, only you will want to read-up on the internet as far as getting these rudder pedals to work with MS Flight Simulator X. You have to adjust some controll settings to fix a conflict with the brakes. Check it: http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=10566

By CaptBlanc - NoseDivers Virtual Squadron

Pros: Good response, and well built / durable. Adjustable size / tension.
Cons: Needs to be braced or mounted. Light weight and will slide.
Review:
Does the job of providing a quality set of rudder pedals without being overpriced. Sensitive, accurate, reliable and adjustable. I'm quite happy with 'em!

My 2nd set of these.
By Shaun
from Clatskanie OR USA
on Thursday, November 01, 2012
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, comfortable for long flights, even in helos..
Cons: Touchy brakes, seems to lack authority in a hard (fixed-wing) side-slip.
Review:
I bought them twice. That should say a lot right there. As always, it takes a gentle foot on the brakes or they can be VERY grabby, even if you set the sensitivities down a ways. I'm still trying settings to see about a seeming lack of authority in a hard (fixed-wing) side-slip... I can't get enough rudder in to cross-control the ailerons. Other than that, I like them enough to have bought them again. I've flown helos a bunch with these too, and they do VERY well in that aircraft type.

Pros: smooth movement very responsive
Cons: could be a bit more rugged built but have had no problems

Excellent Realism
By Jettech
from Rosemount, MN
on Sunday, August 23, 2009
Pros: Durability, ease of operation, smooth control, easy set up, adjustable pedal tension adjustment
Cons: Not many. Requires some inovative thinking to keep it from sliding around
Review:
This is by far the finest set of rudder pedals that I have ever seen for the money. The tension adjustment allows you to add as little or as much resistance as you like. Required very little set up time. Not quiet plug and play but close enough. As a student I have always had a problem with runway alignment during takeoff, but these have allowed for some really great practice with p-factor and torque settings at maximum, they have really made a big difference in my flight training.

Pros: Adds realism
Cons: lacks feedback feel of actual flight.
Review:
As a commercial pilot I found this product to be very realistic in its operation. I am enjoying my flight simulator more due to the more realistic experience. Not perfect but well worth the money.

Solid and spaced properly
By Lawrence V.
from Mesa AZ USA
on Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Pros: smooth operation and more realistic spacing
Cons: toe brake too sensitive.
Review:
I like the rudder spacing. They are more similar to the planes I have flown. The pedal operation is very smooth..much better than another brand I used. I have had problems getting the toe brakes to set up less sensitive. So far I have removed the brake action from the pedal and put it on a control switch...May be able to get them set properly as toe brakes with more effort on my part. I like the quality and adjustment feature.

They are ok
By Chadly
from Colorado Springs CO USA
on Tuesday, December 06, 2016
Pros: Easy to install and works well
Cons: Feeling is not the same and touchy on ground roll
Review:
They work, but nothing like the real thing feeling wise. They are super touchy and haven't figured out how to tone it down in FSX - turned it down and went with the suggested settings, both seem to be touching and over steer on the ground. Flying seems ok.

Review:
It met expectations and works well with IL-2. The construction seems a little more sturdy than my previous set (same brand); would rate a 5 if were metal and very sturdy. I fly it with my toes to avoid putting as much pressure on it as you do actual rudder petals. I would recommend it to flight sim pilots.

Great!
By William
from Springfield VA USA
on Monday, October 29, 2012
Pros: adjustable tension and pedal height, precision control, independant breaks feature, works great with the Saitek Pro Yoke and Quadrant system
Cons: slips under your feet, must somehow attach it to the ground.
Review:
It's great - the tension adjuster is a great feature; the pedals are size-adjustable; it's plastic so it feels a bit wobbly but it's still a sturdy build. However, you will need to fix it to the ground, otherwise it slips whether you have a hard floor or carpet.

It does what it is supposed to do
By Duane
from Fontana CA USA

Pros: easy to use.
Cons: Not as stationary as I would have liked.
Review:
This was the last accessory that I needed to complete the flight experience. It works exactly as I anticipated it would. the only minor drawback is that it slides on the carpet under the desk. A 2by4 stopped it.

Review:
Great product so far, though you'll have to figure out a way of keeping it from slipping around. I just butted it against the wall behind and under my desk. That works. No problems with the drivers or the configuration software. Because of problems I've experienced with the X52 Pro HOTAS, don't expect support from Saitek if you do have problems.

Pros: make's for better & smoother flying.
Cons: so far i have no cons.
Review:
These are the 1st pedals I have ever used, so I have nothing to compare them with, thats why I gave them 4 & not 5 stars. I love these pedals, I use to use a twist stick for my rudder. One of the things I like about useing these pedals, is that I'm not so hard on my stick any more, alowing me to have smoother flights. easy to set up, and they work great with my saitek X45 J/S.

Pros: Well made
Cons: Lack of travel to execute a slip
Review:
I would rate it a (9) on 1-10. One problem is extreme sensitivity. Next, the tape to keep it from sliding didn't work but solved the problem by cutting a piece of plywood and placing it between the wall and the back edge of the pedals. It has never slipped again. Last, when doing a "slip", I can't get enough rudder travel to fully execute the operation. However I would buy the pedals again! MMM
