How is the "vibration" on accelerator/brake pedals? Meaningful?
See bold. Ok, maybe not 100% but like 90%. The only way to make "pedal vibration" realistic would be a super fast hydraulic system that can rapidly change brake pressure like a real car thus mimicking the effect of braking force traveling to the pedal. Buuut... that is not realistic at $300. What Fanatec really needs to do is put a large version of these motors in the ClubSport Shifter and on the clutch pedal so you can get feedback when shifting (IE shifter vibrates when you try to pull out of gear too early).
If it's anything like the brake vibration on the V2's, it'll be 100% meaningless.
I'm mostly interested in the vertical pedal attachments or whatever their called for the V3's. If I had a tonne of money at hand I'd buy a set of V3's just for that :lol
They are nice. There are a ton of option for mounting. So chances are you will find a position that works for you. I would have liked the D shaped pedal surface to be more adhesive, but you can just go a buy some grip tape. They are a bit of a pain to put on though. They are not meant to be quickly swapped, so once you have position, it's best to stick with it. I still wish there was a flipped mounting position for the pedals but there isn't (in fairness it would be antagonistic to the entire pedal design).
Which is why i am asking
See above.
Are the CSPv3s worth it?
Yes if...
You play on console and have a Fanatec wheel with CSRE or CSPv1 pedals
You play on PC and use Logitech or any Thrustmaster pedal (probably want to upgrade your wheel in addition if you have a Logitech)
You have $300 and you just want new stuff
No if...
You have CSPv2s (IMO the V2 brake feel with a stiff spring is better. V3s do not come with dampers, they are extra, and to me this is a step back)
You have any high end sim racing pedal (DSD, Tilton, etc)
You play on console and have Logitech or Thrustmaster wheels (CSPv3 is not compatible, you must have a Fanatec wheel in this scenario)
$300 is a lot of money for anything that is not a new console or big PC gaming part
Sadly, I mad a dumb move. I have a set of CSPv2s and the v3s are not worth the upgrade. Even if I sell my CSPv2s I am likely out $100-200. Unless Fanatec goes all hydraulic, I will not be upgrading again.
