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.

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.

I owned pedals from the Logitech g29 setup, they were good but could not be consistent under breaking while playing F1, I moved to trustmaster t300 and replaced the default pedals with this, OMG. Super sturdy, the break pedal has a potentiometer which allows for more precise breaking, the software to calibrate it is is great. I got in used form amazon for £170, only the box was a little damaged but the pedals were intact, recommended.

Good pedal set. I worried that the cheap plastic base would be put me off but when in use it is no worry. The stock springs are not strong enough though. You need to replace them straight away with some rubber bushings (Rubber from HE Sprints pictured with 3D printed spacers) because they compress fully without reaching even 60% force. The base does creak a bit under full force but it doesn't affect performance. There is enough adjustment in the pedal faces and stand off mounts to get a comfortable setting. I race with socks and manage to get around 80% force without issue hard mounted in my FGT rig in formula position.

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!

Ive owned a Logitech Driving Force GT, Logitech G29, T-150 pedals, T-300RS, T3PA pedals and whilst enjoyable, none of the pedals have felt natural whatsoever or come close to replicating my experiences in a range of road cars. I’ve never driven a race car but I found the brakes quite remarkable coming from the other sets. Rather then measuring pedal travel, the load cell simulates the pressure sensitivity of a hydraulic pedal. This simulation took between 1-3 seconds of my lap times and the consistency was night and day versus the aforementioned pedals. It was important to make sure there wasn’t any flex or movement on the pedals as that really upset any consistency. These pedals are 10/10 in this price range, however they are totally eclipsed further up the range. I eventually upgraded to Heusinkveld Ultimates, which are simply unbelievable. If you’re looking to improve realism, the TLCM are a great step in that direction. If budget allows, I’d recommend heading straight to Heusinkveld Sprints or Ultimates as the difference, accuracy and enjoyment is enormous and I’ve seen that often people end up there after buying load cells from Thrustmaster and Fanatec.

Did me well, was reasonably priced at the time, so bought them(had to regardless as I broke brake pedal on old one) App could be better or integrated within the TM wheel base app, just another app on pc

Easy to set up with instructions, great quality and work like a charm on the sim. Good adjustability of brake pressure aswell. 10/10 would recommend

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

Respuesta breve. Si estas pensando si es un buena idea gastarte 190 euros en estos pedales porque estás hasta las narices de los cutres plasaticosos del t150/300 (tanto los de las versiones RS como los t3pa), ni por asomo te van a decepcionar. El tacto en los pies es bastante más realista de lo que esperas con un producto así, pero lo que es jo++damente sorprendente es que el coche del juego se comporta como se intuye que lo haría en la vida real!!!!!! y eso te pone una sonrisa de oreja a oreja y te empuja a seguir jugando. Además, lo pasas DPM al poder apurar mucho más las curvas porque controlas el freno como si fuese un coche de verdad gracias a la célula de carga y puedes salir mucho más volado gracias al acelerador por el sistema magnético. Parece que te intentan vender humo (o eso me parecía a mí cuando miraba reviews y demás) pero es que es indescriptible la diferencia (hacia bien) que hay con estos pedales. ES ABSURDO LO QUE MEJORA LA EXPERIENCIA ESTOS PEDALES, UNA MARAVILLA. Yo los uso con un T150 y aun siendo los pedales los que han cambiado, da la sensación de que también estoy jugando con un volante totalmente diferente (al principio dudé si comprar los pedales o el t300 y me decidí por los pedales para, más adelante, mejorar el volante).

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!
