Thrustmaster T-LCM

These are serious pedals for serious sim racers. The use of a load cell, like all the Professional manufacturers, Fanatec, Heusinkveld etc proves it’s the best solution to creating a brake pedal that feels like an actual race car. Unlike the potentiometers used in cheaper models, which operate based on pedal position, the load cell works on pressure applied, like an actual brake pedal. This allows for more braking consistency due to memory muscle so you hit your braking markers accurately each time and see your lap times fall. The pedals are super easy to set up. At the time of writing this there was no firmware upgrade, but they worked perfectly connected to my TX servo base and needed nothing but simple calibration using the Thrustmaster calibration software. You absolutely must do this because there’s a choice of springs to set the brake pedal strength and then you will want to set the pressure at which you find braking comfortable. If I had a small criticism, it would be the softness of the clutch and accelerator. I would definitely like these stiffer and will seek stronger springs to make them feel a little more real. There’s likely to be countless modifications when these pedals have been around a while. Overall these are amazing for the money. Check out the countless YouTube reviews praising the value for money and your mind will be made up. There’s no load cell pedals available at this price point and the fact they’re so difficult to source when writing this, proves their popularity is justified. In conclusion I’d say you’re not going to fail to be impressed by these pedals. They really are a fantastic addition to any sim rig and will last a very long time before you’ll want to upgrade. Especially as you witness your lap times fall.

What can I say? These pedals are an absolutely brilliant upgrade! I originally had the T3PM pedals that came with my wheelset, and while I was happy with them, I kept hearing great things about the T-LCM pedals. I decided to give them a try, and I’m blown away by the difference. The load cell brake pedal is a total game-changer. It feels incredibly realistic, like an actual brake, and has completely transformed my driving experience. I can now trail brake with precision—something my old pedals just couldn’t do, as they felt more like an on-off switch. The customization is fantastic. You can adjust the spring rate with the provided springs: the middle spring is a soft preload, and the two outer springs handle the first and second stages. This allows for a tailored feel that suits your driving style perfectly. The build quality is on another level—far superior to my previous pedals. They’re much heavier, which adds to the premium feel and stability. One thing to note: if you plan to use the heavier springs, these pedals definitely need to be mounted on a rig. The pressure required for full braking is considerable, and without a proper setup, it might be difficult to use them effectively. Overall, this is by far the best upgrade I’ve made to my rig. If you’re considering them, don’t hesitate—I 100% recommend these pedals!

I love it

Good pedal set for the price.

These pedals are really good for the price. They're cheaper than some competitors but I think they're slightly more usable to the average person who may not have a driving rig setup in their house. By default they're a bit softer than say loadcell pedals from Fanatec, however you can still get the precise braking power and can ramp up the force required with some included springs to dial them in however you want. You can then further adjust the braking deadzone and actual force required in some software. The downside to this is you have to plug them in via USB to make this happen and then to save the settings to the pedals you have to unplug them. So to really get them dialed in perfectly requires a fair bit of guess and check and then plugging and unpluggin the pedals in. Not a great user experience. That said once you do dial them in the pedals are really quite good. I will also say that I have a set of T3PA-Pro pedals and these T-LCM's are substantially lighter than them. If you're in the Thrustmaster ecosystem I say buy these as soon as you can. If you're not then I would still recommend them because they are a bit cheaper than any of the Fanatec pedals that have a loadcell.

Although I don't have the pedals mounted onto a rig or stand, I have a firm backstop which prevents jacking up of the pedals when on the brakes. So if anybody is running this on a desk and don't have the space for a full sim rig, as long as you have castor cups on your chair and something firm against which you place the pedals, you'll be fine. Most of you have already watched the reviews and mods on youtube or forums, so I won't bore you with the massive improvements you can get from these in terms of consistency in braking and significantly improved braking feel. The key thing I've found when running this on Assetto Corsa, Project Cars 2 and Forza Motorsport 7 is that you can most definitely and predictably modulate your brake and hit the same braking markers every single lap. The immersion you get from not having to run ABS is very much welcome. Running with the black and white springs for my current set up, but your mileage may vary.

These pedals are the must have, if your reading this then your looking at the right pedal set for you don’t question yourself hit the buy now button you won’t be disappointed, the mod options here will make your racing experience so much cleaner perfect lines and cornering come easy and the lack of locking up the brakes has to be just as god a selling point as any, I am shredding my previous lap times and the feel on your feet is amazing, I urge you to give these perfect pedals a go. For the price you can’t go wrong for a tip end pedal set the best thrustmaster have made to date by far.

great stuff definitely recommend & try to find them on offer. Once you get used to the LC it adds so much more to the sim racing experience. Easy to setup find what suits your pedal weight with the different springs

Kinda difficult since the brake pedal is harder than I though but def a good upgrade if you are coming from a 2 pedal set like I am

Recommend if wearing socks or playing barefoot - pedal force is significant and your feet will slip

It's a good set of pedals with a load-cell feature, but I feel the brake resistance could be increased. I'm using the stiffest spring available, but it still doesn't feel firm enough.

Amazing pedals at an amazing price. The adjustability is superb and it has really improved my braking consistency. Coming from the T3PA pedals with a squash ball mod, these pedals allow me to hit the required brake force consistently into hard braking zones, trail brake accurately, and come off the brake much smoother than I otherwise could. Don’t think, just get these pedals asap before they run out of stock!

Premetto che arrivo da una pedaliera stock di un T300 RS. Arriva in una scatola, in ottime condizioni, con all'interno un foglio plasticato (con delle informazioni base sulla pedaliera) ed un manuale ben scritto in più lingue e dettagliato. La pedaliera da fin da subito una forte sensazione di robustezza (poi confermata anche durante l'utilizzo), con i due pedali della frizione e dell'acceleratore con sensori magnetici molto precisi e sensibili; il pedale del freno presenta una cella di carico sotto le molle (necessaria appunto a registrare la pressione applicata al pedale) tarata di fabbrica con una molla grigia F15 ed una molla nera F20 (con due distanziatori in plastica/gomma ed una molla a 4 spire precompressa in mezzo alle due molle); le molle sono intercambiabili e la pressione può essere modificata tramite software apposito scaricabile sul sito ufficiale Thrustmaster (personalmente uso le molle applicate di fabbrica con una pressione massima calibrata a 50 kg, avendo solo 16 anni faccio fatica ad arrivare sopra i 60 kg '^^). Al primo impatto la sensazione di frenata è del tutto diversa rispetto al solito potenziometro, ma ci si prende presto confidenza (io ad esempio sono riuscito a tornare sui miei "tempi standard" in meno di mezz'ora, migliorandomi anche soprattutto in frenata). La frenata è molto precisa ed il feeling grazie alle molle è realistico, contribuendo molto all'mmersione. La corsa meccanica del pedale del freno potrebbe risultare sia troppo corta che troppo lunga in base alle recensioni che ho letto (personalmente la trovavo corta, ma dopo poco la trovo della giusta lunghezza). Considerando il prezzo relativamente basso il prodotto risulta di ottima qualità, in quanto a valore superiore a molte altre pedaliere di livello più alto (come alcune Fanatec) ma dal costo estremamente maggiore. Mi sento di consigliarlo a chiunque voglia raggiungere un livello di simulazione maggiore rispetto ad una pedaliera "tradizionale" con soli potenziometri ma senza un budget molto elevato, in quanto a problemi e durabilità finora non ho riscontrato alcuna anomalia o difetto del prodotto, in caso dopo mesi di utilizzo dovesse uscir fuori qualcosa aggiornerò la recensione.
