Turtle Beach VelocityOne Universal Rudder Pedals for Windows 10 & 11 PCs, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One Featuring Smooth Rudder Axis, Adjustable Brakes and Pedal Width – Black

This doesn't feel like a typical mid-tier controller. The materials and construction give me a "high end" feel without the high end price. The are configurable as to style of pedal (big aircraft, or small) and you can set the width of the pedals which makes finding a comfortable configuration possible. I just plugged them into my computer and they started working. The feel of the pedal movements seems very natural. The only thing I didn't like was how open the mechanism is from the top. Since at the top, on the pedals, are my shoes which may not be 100% clean, plus just general house dust blowing around, I'd like the top to be covered in a way to prevent that stuff from getting into the mechanism. Something like the brush like coverings I've seen in other products. Fantastic pedals. Feels high end without the high end price.

I could easily have bought a different setup IF I was playing on PC, but on Series S/X (I have both) this really is the best option. Well packaged, colour coded cables and an excellent fitting system. No bits sticking out under the table once the built in clamps are anchored. Really neat. Smooth operation of all parts except the push/pull yoke has stiff spots. Not an actual issue, as we have assurances from the manufacturer that it beds in and smooths out, confirmed by one YouTuber yesterday after he used it for two weeks. The prop engine controls work very well (Throttle, Prop and Mixture) and feel like a real prop plane. The jet engine levers will allow you to fly a quad engined plane smoothly. On prop planes they double the other controls and add a flaps lever. For that, they feel a little “loose”, but I already have a fix in mind with a simple rubber sheath to increase the drag on them. The Trim Wheel is fantastic, closest I have seen to the real thing, just make sure you’re not on “EASY” level on all settings, because FS2020 auto trims for level flight to help beginners. Easy to find and turn it off. The many buttons, twin hats, additional 4way hats, and full set of Series X buttons are all fully configurable. There are two presets in the Flight Sim already for Prop or Jet, but you can make as many new ones as you like. I use the XBox controller or a mouse for the FS2020 menus, just because the sim is designed that way, but once in the plane, you don’t need to take your hands off the yoke rig. The initial yoke stiffness and slightly floppy levers are the only reason I took one star off an otherwise excellent rig. I may buy some pedals in the future togo with it, but coping well with the responsive triggers on the yoke. Currently working my way through the tutorials, landing challenges and so forth, with some free flights gradually learning where the default controls are before messing with them. The buttons are illuminated (your choice of colours) and stickers and spare panels are provided, with more functionality to be added in future updates. There’s also an XBox app to let you update the Firmware without a PC. I think that covers most of it. Worth the purchase price in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I love this controller. I was impressed with a marketing video I saw on it. It delivers everything I could ask for. The only issue is understanding the configuration for certain game titles. Granted this isn't necessarily Turtle Beach's fault. However, they could do more game testing and offer easier configuration. By contacting developers of the games, they could have a default configuration added to them. A user forum where users could download official configurations or ones other users have created would be an excellent addition.
