Fanatec acquired by Corsair

Honestly for sim racing hydraulic pedals do not affect the braking performance in the sim as the applied pressures still have to be turned into an electronic signal for the game to be able to process it.

In my opinion I cannot see where a hydraulic system has any advantage over a properly set up pedal using rubber and elastomers that is set up to operate at the racers preferred amount of pressure and free play in the pedal sensor.

I'm looking for something that gives a more realistic feeling, which is what hydraulic ones do, so I didn't talk about performance.

If we talk about performance, the hydraulic one should still be better, because it offers continuity in its performance, unlike elastomers, which with the passage of time and use, lose their initial properties, becoming softer.

No matter what, changes coming from the take over will take time.
Given the reports that Chinese suppliers went on strike and only sent out goods if they were paid in full beforehand, the first priority will most likely be to get the regular supplies working again.
Unless they already started to manufacture new products, my guess would be that new products will take some time to appear on the market.
Not to mention that Corsairs plan to make the goods available outside of the Fanatec shop will also mean they need to have more of the existing products available than before, so that will come first too.
