Has anyone tried using these rudder peddals? I am using the keyboard now for the rudder. I need more control.

Thank you,

The price is unbelievably low compared to the others on the market.  Sounds like a definite 'caveat emptor' deal to me.

by the website on the box... www.k-info.cn there is not even a website for that company.

My personal opinion, i would be cautious. but that is just me.  You might actually have found something wonderful that is almost as good as CHProducts or Saitek.  If it were I, and if I had the money, I would be shelling out for the Saitek pedals and ProFlight yoke with gauges.

I just went out to their website.  They have a lot to sell.....http://stores.ebay.com/Kinfo-Home-Plaza put in rudder in the search box on their homepage to see how many are for sale and what prices vary

Well, IMHO it depends on whether you want to blow a minimum of $33.80 or a max of $54 for rudders. Tyhe cost is low but the freight isn 1 1/2 times the cost. If they don't work, you can return them but you pay return freight so you're out at least the $33.80.

On the positive side, they have very good feedback. I've bought a lot of stuff on Ebay and haven't been sorry yet.

Still beats spending > $100 for a set.

...looks interesting!... ...!

Very similar to independent Accelerator and Brake Pedals for Car/Truck Games.

..as long as they can be directly coupled together for alternate rocker action, as in Rudder Pedals.....!

If you get them let us know. Certainly a cheap alternative to the other very expensive manufacturers... ....!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004....and a Twist Joystick.... 8-)...!

I made my own rudder pedals , I can't even fly ,land ,taxing, without them ,YES like in the real life ,everyone should have them for the game 

Looks to me like those pedals "depress" like a car's pedals rather than slide, like an aircraft's.  Also apparently missing is toe brakes.

Better than nothing "maybe".  Equivalent to the CH or Saitek pedals.... not even close, I think.

Caveat Emptor.

best,

They do look very similar to the Accelerator and Brake Pedals for my Driving Games whereby BOTH Pedal can be depressed at the same time, which is not the way that "Rudder Pedals" work.
Rudder pedals are linked to work in opposition to one another, pressure applied to one Pedal will return the opposite Pedal.
If both are pressed at the same time, they lock solid, and nothing happens!
Some Pedals can be adjusted to work as EITHER Rudder OR Accelerator+Brake Pedals by means of an external mechanical adjustment.....
..I don't know if that is the case with the pedals illustrated...
...so, as John says..."Beware!"

Paul...G-BPLF....have bicycle pedals...will travel!.... ...!

If something seems "too good to be true", it usually is.

I tried low cost "car type" pedals, and threw them out quickly.
Saved a bit and bought some saitek pedals, and havent looked back.
Swivelling pedals, and toe brakes are the goods.
Buy the proper ones, and you wont be sorry.
