Well done Kikie, I agree also.
The attitude on these forums at times is questionable, its annoying to read such when someone is sharing a purchase many of us are keen to know more of. Indeed its the users own decision what they do or how they spend money on their cockpit. I just dont get the attitude on GTP at times.
So instead of people thanking "Greeze" for putting up his comments/opinion/review instead he gets attitude or reminded what he could or should of bought instead. We never really got an indepth comparison of these to the CSP from Stega who had both and with so little known about them Id of thought someone giving more input on them would be applauded.
Did people go tell Chillicoke oh you should of bought Fanatec etc.
So I think a little respect and appreciation is in order for "Greeze" going to the bother and sharing some details on the pedal with us. Also not everyone wants the best value option or to go with what is the current favourite choice of product.
Youve got my support and one thing some people continue to forget is you can modify the G25/G27 with a proper full sized wheel which you cant do on the Fanatec. I bet Chillis rig wouldnt of looked as nice with a bright orange GT3RS or Turbo S wheel. The real Momo helped make it look awesome.
For me this upgrade helps bring the brakes in line with what the CSP offers even if the price to some may seem a tad high. Its not high when you price other professional products/brand with pedals costing $2500. So I say congratulations and perhaps with a later improved wheel rim its going to be a great setup including the handbrake.
Ive said it before and will again I think "Greeze" your rig has the potential to become one of the best all round rigs on the forums.
Kudos to you my friend. Its what this part of the forums is all about...

Being in Australia, the weird core charge refund policy is one of the things that has turned me off. If it is even possible to get it, shipping would be way over the top. Not to mention customs here would drill a hole in it just to make sure the oil didn't contain drugs or living organisms.
Just selling the load cell with a DIY manual would make much more sense. I'm sure most people who are into sim racing enough to buy one can handle a simple bolt on mod and some wire plugs.
It's not a load cell, it's a pressure sensor. And the "kit that will be user intalled" is something new, they don't have it yet. They are still developing it.
Shipping to Australia is indeed, like you said, way over the top. That's why I haven't order the perfect pedal yet. I'm waiting for them to find an European reseller.

I bet you'll be annoyed Greeze..... I heard someone called Andy is selling the same thing for like $60
Anyway, nice setup. Nice pedal, braking must feel more efficient.
As kikie said, the perfect pedal is a pressure sensor. Andy's was a load cell. Slightly different tech but after a quick wiki search I can see how the pressure sensor would be better.
With a Load cell, force is converted into an electrical signal. It measures force directly from a load cell.
A typical load cell used in gaming pedals
Pressure sensor measures pressure indirectly from, in case of the perfect pedal, hydraulic fluid. (= lubitherm). link: http://www.lubecorp.com/ <br>

I'm not annoyed about not buying a $60 pedal, why would I be? Who's this Andy fella and what's he selling anyway? Link please...

You can't buy the APelectrix anymore. He stopped selling and doesn't answer emails.

I want to know that as well. I had someone whom bought an APelectrix contacting Andy on my behalf, asking if he could order the APelectrix for me (because he's already a customer, I thought that he had a bigger chance of getting an answer). Nothing so far.
Ohwww, I thought you asked for a link, which I posted.Cheers Kikie
I was aware of AP Electrix but not of the guys name.

Strange because he never answers my emails.
EDIT: Just got a very short email from Andy Pastore. I asked if it is true that he will start selling again and he replied with the message: yes it's true.
Isn't that good new or what?

I dunno what all the fuss is about. I've tried everything, Progressive Springs, load cells... The Perfect Pedal is THE most awesome brake mod ever. This is worth every penny. It has fantastic feel and has improved my lap times by 2-10% depending on the car/track, which is HUGE. I tried my son's stock G27 after a few weeks, and I can't drive with it anymore. Once you get used to this pedal, nothing else compares nor matters...
I use it on the stock G27 plastic pedal mount on wall-to-wall carpet and it works great.
If you are serious about Racing, and have a G25/G27, this is the brake for you, bar none.
