Paddle Shifter

The paddle shifter contains two paddles on either side of the wheel along with two buttons on either side. The paddles are located just inside the wheel and are easily flicked with your index fingers for lightening fast shifts without removing your hands from the wheel. The paddles also include two buttons that are easily pressed with your thumbs. These two buttons and two paddle shifters, which are essentially buttons mounted on the back side of the paddle unit, can be assigned to whatever functions you want. Most users will assign the shift paddles for up and down shifts and the buttons for a left and right glance. The paddle unit, like the rest of the unit, is constructed of solid steel except for the little strip of thick rubber/plastic and springs that are connected to each of the paddle shifters.

There is a little adjustably in the paddles in that you can extend or retract the individual paddles to adjust for users with shorter or longer fingers.

If there is something you wanted adjusted these guys thought of it!

Pedal Unit

The stock pedal unit comes with the standard gas and brake pedals with an optional clutch pedal. This pedal unit represents ECCI's first top hinged pedal set. Many hardcore sim racers will remember the previous models ECCI sold that had either rollers or steel plates (aka "Tractor Pedals"). This new top hinged pedals allows for a greatly expanded adjustably that was lacking in previous pedal sets from ECCI. The gas pedal is controlled by a spring that can be adjusted for tension and allows for smooth and quick control of the accelerator. The brake pedal is controlled by a spring plus ECCI's progressive modulated unit (PMU). The PMU works like a real car brake pedal, the harder you press the brake the harder it is to push. This gives the user the feedback to locate exactly how far the brake pedal has been pressed and allows for smooth and controlled braking.

Lets talk about adjustably in the brake unit for a minute. Unbelievable! There is no less that five ways to adjust these pedals. You can adjust the heel rest, the pedal angle, pedal height, distance between the pedals and spring tension for both pedals. All of these options combined will give you all the adjustment you could ask for and provide the most comfortable racing experience.
