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

Product Information

The T-LCM Calibration Software and Windows Control Panel can only be used on a PC with Windows® 10 or higher. Versatile and stable, the T-LCM Pedals set gives users significant advantages when racing: the pedals can be adjusted; a set of 6 springs allows for a multitude of adjustment options; the unit features non-slip, 100% metal materials; and the pedal set’s settings (dead zones and electronic force [Brake Force]) can be adjusted via the included software. Calibration software allows for adjustment of the brake force, plus the dead zones for all 3 pedals.

The Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals are the latest and greatest pedals in the Thrustmaster line-up. In a first from Thrustmaster, their T-LCM pedals feature a high-quality load cell sensor. This means that they perfectly measure and transmit the force that you apply. Upon first handling the T-LCM Pedals, I was genuinely impressed by the solid feel of the build and the substantial weight that gives a reassuring sense of durability. Once installed, the robust construction came into play, providing a sturdy base that held firm even during the most frantic of races. This allows you to change how much force is recognised by games, whilst applying the same amount of force in real life. The real-life force is represented by the raw value, whilst the final value is the outputted value. For example, you can tune it so that 50% of actual force is recognised as 100%. This can become very useful if you struggle to put the required force into the pedal itself. However, at Coach Dave Academy, we recommend that you use the maximum force available as it allows for the most precise experience. To save your adjustments, the software will guide you on the procedure. Step 3: Identifying the available springsNow let’s get down to the nitty-gritty: what was it like actually using the Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals?

I experimented with the various settings and adjustments, and found them to be user-friendly and impactful. The ability to adjust the pedal force and incline allowed me to tailor the gaming experience to my comfort and preference, adding another layer of immersion to the game. 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. In conclusion, the Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals impress with their exceptional performance, thoughtful design, and extensive features. They are a substantial addition to any racing setup, providing an unmatched level of immersion and control. If you’re looking to take your virtual racing experience to the next level in 2023, then these pedals should be at the top of your consideration list. The T-LCM Pedals must only be connected to the PC via the USB cable for it to be supported by the T-LCM Calibration Software.

The very final part of the puzzle in setting up your Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals is done inside Assetto Corsa Competizione. By default, the pre-installed springs provide a middling resistance but can be swapped out for combinations of included, color-coded springs and flat washers. Adding more washers reduces the preload effect on the brake, making them more linear, just like the gas and clutch pedals. 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. Still, the T-LCM pedals outclass the rest of the Thrustmaster range without attaching unfair price inflation, so if you can stretch your budget, you shouldn't regret it.

Knowledge base

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. Load Cell force sensor technology: up to 220 lb / 100 kg of pressure, for the perfect amount of braking power. As we cross the finish line of this review, it’s time to consolidate our thoughts on the Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals. You will need to open the racing wheel base’s control panel. You will then have access to the section dedicated to the pedals you connected. The racing wheel base must be connected directly to a USB port of the platform used (PC or console).
