Shop sim racing pedals at Apex Sim Racing, authorized dealer for Simagic, Moza Racing, Simucube, and Simnet Racing. The right pedals transform your sim racing experience. Load cell brake pedals measure force rather than travel, giving you the consistent, progressive brake feel of a real race car. Hydraulic pedals take it further with real fluid resistance for maximum realism. Both Moza and Simucube offer active pedal technology with fully programmable resistance on every axis. All pedals ship from the USA.
Frequently Asked Questions
▶ What are load cell pedals?
Load cell pedals use a force sensor rather than a position sensor to measure brake input. Instead of measuring how far you press the pedal, the sim measures how hard you press it. This matches how real race car brakes work and gives you far more consistent braking lap after lap.
▶ What is the difference between load cell and potentiometer pedals?
Potentiometer pedals measure travel distance. Load cell pedals measure applied force. In sim racing, force-based input is more precise and consistent because it mirrors real braking technique. Most sim racers notice a significant improvement in braking consistency after switching to load cell.
▶ What are hydraulic sim racing pedals?
Hydraulic pedals use real fluid pressure to create brake resistance, giving you the closest feel to an actual race car brake pedal available in sim racing. The Simnet Racing SP-PRO uses hydraulic dampers for a progressive, high-resistance brake feel that rewards proper heel-and-toe technique.
▶ What are active pedals?
Active pedals use motorized resistance that can be programmed to change dynamically. Both Moza and Simucube offer active pedal systems that can simulate ABS pulses, tire lockup, and varying surface grip in real time, giving you feedback through the pedals that was previously only available through high-end motion simulators.
▶ Do I need 3 pedals for sim racing?
Two pedals covering throttle and brake are enough to get started. A clutch pedal becomes important if you race manual transmissions or want to practice heel-and-toe downshifting. Most serious sim racers eventually move to a 3-pedal setup for the most complete experience.
▶ What sim racing pedals work with Simagic and Moza wheel bases?
Sim racing pedals connect to your PC via USB independently of your wheel base, so any pedal set from any brand will work with any wheel base on PC. The Simagic P-series, Moza CRP2 and SRP2, Simucube ActivePedal, and Simnet SP-PRO all work with any sim racing setup regardless of brand.
