Why is it so narrow? Looks like it's made for women, or eunuchs. :D

What sensors does it use? It's not a bad deal anyway, TM Being a good brand imo.

The alluminium rail mechanic looks interesting and more durable than Saiteks rubber wheels on plastic solution (which is a hell lot of work to maintain) but everything else looks quite a bit uncomfortable and flimsy (might be wrong here, only assumtion).

 

Its definetly good to see more low price pedals appear on the market. If the sensors are more precise than Saiteks and the movement range isnt too bad this might be a very worthy contender to the Combat Pedals.

[Sokol1]

The price range indicate use of cheap potentiometeres (like Hotas X/4, Saitek's line excluding X, Y axes in HOTAS), instead any kind of contactless sensors.

 

Not that contactless sensors cost more than good potetentiometers, but using ~0,05$ pot' increase profit...

 

Anyway is good have more option. People will complain about width but at least fit in Obuto's without trouble.

T.16000M FCS (with "spacial" lights/colors...  ) and the new TWCS - supposedly a standalone throttle.

Are they better than Saitek Padals?

[Beazil]

Hey great news. Always nice to have more options.

[Sokol1]

All are prototypes, ETA in the market is September, 2016.

The throttle looks quite solid, might be worth a buy if the price is okay (around 50$ mark I suspect) Not sure about this extremely wide base though, kind off unnessecary in my opinion.

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

The throttle and rudder look really nice. If the reviews hold up I might just pick them up once my current HOTAS goes south.

Which pots does T.1600M use? perhaps because these new models are similar,  they will share that architecture rather than from Tmaster cheaper range?

 

Cheers Dakpilot

[Sokol1]

T.16000M use in X, Y axis the same Melexis 3D HALL sensor used in Warthog (the "H.E.A.R.T.").  

 

T.16000M FCS is basically the same joy, the only differences is a more width trigger and bolts for fit the joy in cockpit/chair, continues  using the "H.E.A.R.T." And this new (bad taste) colors (spacial).

 

 

 

But in twist rudder and throttle are used the same kind of cheap 'Ching Chong Ling" potentiometer used in entry-level and midi-level (Saitek X-xx in other axis than X,Y) joysticks and gamepads.

 

The TFRP and TWCS probable will use the same kind of pot' in their axis... Is the market "rule" for the segment.

 

Their advertising is focused in that "S.M.A.R.T." sliding rails.
