Thrustmaster T-LCM - Loadcell Pedal set for PS5 / PS4 / Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One / Windows

Product Information

All adjustments made on the T-LCM Pedals with the T-LCM Calibration Software will be saved in the pedal set. This will allow them to be applied to another gaming platform (PC or console). Some people have criticized the look of these pedals and to be honest, I didn’t think they were the prettiest either online, but in person, once you see the nice finish of the pedals and the pedal plate shining under light, they don’t look bad at all. At the end of the day, this is all due to personal preference and to most, a sim rig isn’t meant to look pretty anyway. Before starting your game, make sure the Windows Control Panel and the T-LCM Calibration Software are closed.

Connecting the USB cable of the racing wheel base (when the T-LCM Pedals pedal set is connected to the racing wheel base with its RJ12 cable) Finally, since the main draw of these pedals is the customizable brake pedal, you should expect to be launching the calibration software fairly regularly. Unfortunately, during my testing, the app doesn't recognize the pedals connected through a Thrustmaster T248X racing wheel, even if my games do. While it does come with a premium price tag, the value it offers justifies the investment. Whether you’re an amateur gamer dipping your toes into the racing genre or a seasoned professional looking for a gear upgrade, the T-LCM Pedals offer an elevated gaming experience that’s hard to match. The moment my foot touched the pedal, the real magic began. The T-LCM Pedals offer a responsive, precise, and fluid control that is unparalleled. Each press of the pedal, each subtle adjustment, registered immediately and accurately in-game. It felt like the barrier between me and the virtual racing world had been removed.Note: On PlayStation®5, your racing wheel also works with all PS4™ compatible games listed in the LIST OF PLAYSTATION®4 GAMES section. It might seem unnecessary for some to upgrade to expensive dedicated pedals, but the T-LCM steel set feels fantastic for various sim-racing scenarios. The heavy-duty plate prevents slipping on a suitable surface, and the ultra-customizable, load cell-powered brake pedal makes the fair asking price well worth it.

Now let’s get down to the nitty-gritty: what was it like actually using the Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals? Another great thing about the Thrustmaster TLC-M’s is their compatibility. These pedals are compatible with Xbox and PlayStation systems as well as PC. Furthermore, they can plug in directly and don’t require a compatible Thrustmaster wheel to function. So, if you currently have a Logitech G29 and only want to upgrade the pedals, you can use these with it. But of course, if you do have a Thrustmaster wheelbase like the TS-XW, you can also connect the pedals directly there. PS5 games compatibility has been tested and endorsed by Thrustmaster. At stage of publication, PS5 compatibility of the full range has not been yet tested nor endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC. Independently adjustable pedals (height, distance and inclination) to optimize gaming comfort according to user preferences

When the USB sliding switch is set to the “OTHER” position, your racing wheel works with the following PS5™ games (#):

Due to the load cell sensors inside the brake module, the pedals have a class-leading maximum force of 100kg (220lb). To make the most of this feature, it’s more than advised to secure them to a sim rig, which is just as easy as securing any other set of pedals via the screws on the underside of the metal pedal plate. These top of the range pedals are perfect for simulators like Assetto Corsa Competizione where precision is crucial, and so it’s only viable to have them set up perfectly. So, this is how to set up the Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals best for ACC. Step 1: Mounting and connectingFanatec CSL Elite, while being the most affordable of the three, is limited in its compatibility, mainly supporting PC and PS4 with a compatible wheel base. However, it does offer a high build quality and adjustable settings similar to the T-LCM. As we cruise into the final stretch of our review, it’s time to answer the burning question: are the Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals worth the investment? If, like me, you often sit with your foot slightly resting against the brake, you can set the perfect amount of pressure to ignore before games register any input. The separation of final values detected by games and the raw information from the load cell makes it easy to understand how they work, and it's a breeze to find the perfect balance after some in-game testing. This tool is useful for testing the T-LCM Pedals when connected to the racing wheel base with the RJ12 connector. The T-LCM Calibration Software and Windows Control Panel can only be used on a PC with Windows® 10 or higher.

With the calibration software, the braking force and the dead zones of the 3 pedals can be adjusted As we wrap up this detailed inspection, it’s important to remember that every gamer is unique. What works for one might not work for another. But one thing is certain; the Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals have a lot to offer, and they just might be the missing piece in your ultimate gaming setup puzzle. Comparison with Competitors For optimal operation, we recommend that you connect the T-LCM Pedals using only one cable at a time, either the USB cable connected to the PC or the RJ12 cable connected to the racing wheel base. We recommend that you avoid connecting the pedal with both its cables at the same time. You will need to fully disconnect the RJ12 cable while using the USB cable.Thanks to the USB cable allowing console compatibility, they'd complement any of the best racing wheels for Xbox Series X|S, alongside any compatible PC. Reliability is another area where the T-LCM Pedals excel. They remain steadfast, maintaining their performance and precision, irrespective of the length of your gaming sessions. It is best to adjust this after the original software setup so that you know the full range of default resistances.
