For all tastes and budgets, we present to you the ultimate guide to choosing what is likely the most crucial device in your entire cockpit if you’re playing on Playstation 5 .
It’s time to analyze the features and advantages of each option and make a decision. Remember, for an overall view, you can find all these products in our hardware database.
All the pedals we present here feature load cells that allow for a progressive feel. Some also come with magnetic sensors or industrial-grade potentiometers, bypassing the older models where these often failed over time in measuring travel.
Under 300 Euros
Fanatec and Thrustmaster go head-to-head in a broad market, with most customers opting to pair wheels of the same brand with somewhat advanced pedal models.
Thrustmaster T-LCM
A best-seller from Thrustmaster and recently launched, this model is priced under 200 euros and offers features typical of more advanced pedals, though over time, its price has dropped.
It still includes some plastic parts, though almost all critical components are metal. Its long-term failure rate remains to be seen, but the model appears to be well-designed, featuring a 100kg load cell, magnetic sensors, and a straightforward layout that makes it easy to adjust stiffness.
The 100kg load cell allows for precise control, particularly beneficial during intense braking scenarios.
It also comes with various accessories for customization and cockpit adjustment.
Note that a compatible Thrustmaster base is required for use with PlayStation 5.

Over 300 Euros
So far, console pedals haven’t skyrocketed… too much. So this price range is considered high-end or top-tier until new pedals are released.

A step up in the Fanatec lineup, these pedals offer better finishes and performance. With all the features missing in the LC models, here we find the best that the German factory has to offer for our feet.
They are available in both standard and inverted positions, with a significant price difference between them.
Starting at 399 euros, they can be upgraded with brake performance kits and dampers.
A compatible base with PlayStation 5 is required.
