Simagic P1000 (3-pedal)
Modular 3-pedal set with a 100 kg load-cell brake, USB, and deep adjustability
Simagic's mid-range three-pedal set with a 100 kg load-cell brake and Hall-sensor throttle and clutch. It is the usual pairing for an Alpha EVO base and a big step up from potentiometer pedals.

Pros and cons
- 100 kg load-cell brake for pressure-based, repeatable braking
- Hall sensors on throttle and clutch avoid potentiometer wear
- Upgrade path: hydraulic brake kit and haptic reactors sold separately
- Needs hard mounting to a rig to use high brake force
- Aluminum, but less refined than Heusinkveld at higher forces
Watch out: USB to PC only; bolt it to a rigid pedal plate or it will slide under heavy braking.
What it feels like
- Stiffness
- Progression
- Damping
- Travel
- Noise
The load-cell brake is firm and gets harder the more you press, so you brake by pressure instead of distance.
Throttle and clutch are smooth and light, and you can change their spring force.
The metal frame feels solid, but it needs a rigid mount.
Closer to a stiff performance-car brake pedal than a soft road-car one.
What the P1000 works with
- Connects to a PC by USB. It doesn't work on PS5 or Xbox.
- On PC it works next to any wheel base.
Wheel bases it plugs into
None: it only connects by USB.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The P1000 is Simagic's mid-priced all-metal pedal set. It has CNC aluminum construction and a 100 kg load-cell brake. Throttle and clutch use Hall angle sensors, and resolution is 12-bit. Its main draw is adjustability. You can change pedal travel, spring force, linearity, brake force and deadzones, and move pedal spacing and height. For a first rig, that means you can tune the brake to your leg instead of settling for fixed rubber stacks. It also leaves room to grow. Optional add-ons include a haptic pedal reactor, a hydraulic cylinder (the RS versions) and an inverted layout (P1000i). It connects by USB to a PC, or through CAN-Bus to Simagic wheelbases. No external power supply is needed. Software is SimPro Manager. The caveats: it costs more than entry-level load-cell sets, and the metal base needs a sturdy rig or pedal plate to avoid flex. Reviewers on the official page mention wanting more brake spring options. If you only need a basic upgrade from a wheel-bundle pedal set, it is overkill. If you want a set you can keep upgrading, it is a sound choice.
Questions buyers ask
Does it work with non-Simagic wheels and consoles?
It connects to a PC by USB, so it works with any wheel on PC. Simagic wheelbases can also connect through the CAN-Bus port. Console support isn't listed on the official pages, so check before buying for console.
Do I need to buy the hydraulic version?
No. The standard P1000 uses the load-cell brake with a spring stack. The hydraulic cylinder (RS versions) is an upgrade that gives a different brake feel, and it can be added separately.
Can I upgrade it later?
Yes. It is modular. Simagic sells a haptic pedal reactor, a hydraulic cylinder and an inverted-layout option. Settings are adjusted in SimPro Manager.
