Thrustmaster T3PA Pedals (bundled with TX Leather Edition)
Metal-faced analog pedals that plug into the TX base via RJ12, no separate power or USB.
The T3PA three-pedal set bundled with the TX Leather Edition: metal pedal faces with adjustable spacing and height on a plastic base. Flexible to set up, but the brake is soft and travel-based, so most owners upgrade in time.

Pros and cons
- Metal pedal faces adjustable in spacing and height
- Includes a clutch pedal
- Can be switched between floor and suspended-style arm positions
- Soft brake with little resistance unless modded
- Plastic base flexes and slides without a rig
Watch out: Plugs into the wheel base only (no USB); the T-LCM is the usual upgrade once braking consistency matters.

The springs give a light, springy push rather than a hard stop.
Braking is judged by how far you press, not how hard.
Adjustable pedal faces help you set a comfortable position.
Like a gas pedal in a regular road car, not a firm race-car brake.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The T3PA is the pedal set that ships with the Thrustmaster TX Leather Edition. It is a budget, all-metal-construction design with a plastic-free pedal face and a spring-based, non-load-cell feel. It connects by RJ12 to the wheel base, so there is no extra USB cable, power brick, or software on the pedals themselves. For a first rig that is a plus: fewer cables and nothing to configure. The trade-off is feel. Travel is position-based with springs, so braking relies on how far you press, not how hard, which makes consistent trail-braking harder to learn than on a load-cell pedal. Pedal faces and spacing are adjustable, and Thrustmaster advertises a way to flip the set into an inverted layout, though you should confirm that on the official page before counting on it. Treat it as a capable starter set that works only with Thrustmaster bases using the RJ12 pedal port. If you later outgrow it, the TX base can still be paired with Thrustmaster's other T-series pedals through the same port. I could not verify the sensor type from a primary source.
Questions buyers ask
Does it work with non-Thrustmaster wheels?
Not directly. It uses an RJ12 connector into a Thrustmaster base such as the TX, T300, or T248. It is not a USB device for other brands.
Do I need a clutch pedal, and is it included?
The TX Leather Edition set is commonly listed with two pedals (throttle and brake). A clutch is a separate add-on, so check the listing for the pedal count before buying.
Can I upgrade the pedals later?
Yes. Other Thrustmaster pedals that use the base's RJ12 port plug in the same way. Third-party USB pedals also work on PC, so you can swap without replacing the wheel.
