Development update Shortly after this year’s SimRacing Expo at the Nurburgring, we published a blog post about how our latest prototype VRS DirectForce Pro direct drive wheel and pedals were received from our booth at the event. The feedback was extremely positive, and you can find that post here. As promised, in this post we will offer some insight behind the design of the VRS DirectForce Pro Pedals, while you wait for further news. Our goal with the hardware in general has been as follows: To offer the best performance and functionality out there, without the ultra-premium price tag. We want as many sim racers as possible to enjoy the same hardware as the most hardcore users among us. The pedals are no exception to this, and a great deal of research was spent figuring out what it would take to create the best sim racing pedals available on the market. The bar in recent years has been set very high, so we had a good challenge ahead of us! Ultimately, we can narrow down the key requirements to: – Smooth, precise action – No unintended free play or movement – High adjustability – Capable of handling large forces – Hydraulic feel if desired – Reliable and consistent response – Minimal or zero maintenance, durability – Wide compatibility – Aesthetically attractive – High strength-to-weight / size – Unique design – Fast order turnaround and availability
