I never did get used to the very short pedal travel but didn't try some of the mods that are out there online. I stopped using it when the load cell started picking up electromagnetic interference from the accelerator pedal, eventually got worse enough that it wasn't usable anymore.

Parent context: But you know with loadcell the movement is completely irrelevant, right? Reply: in my experience it has been extremely difficult to tell how smoothly I am releasing the brakes during trail braking. My inputs end up very jittery as I back off too much, try to re-apply more mid corner, etc.

Trash pedals, better off with a set of sim jack pros for about the same money

I bought these because everyone on Reddit said load cells were amazing, but when I received them I was shocked at how stiff the brake pedal is. At 80+ kilos of force it only moves 1.5cm. ... I've been struggling with trail braking on these for the past year and a half

The CSL pedals aren’t adjustable at all without some kind of modification.

This is what i ended up having to do to get the right angle on fanatec CSL (and later LC) pedals. Obviously the issue is that each iteration takes a lot of time and effort. And, as you see, it was getting a bit janky...

I have a Fanatec CSL wheelbase and pedals. I also have a McLaren GT style wheel. I have set aside some money for upgrades to my setup and I have decided to upgrade the pedals because I have the basic and non-loadcell CSL pedals. They feel ok but I need an upgrade.
