Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals
All-metal 3-pedal set with 100 kg load cell brake and 16-bit magnetic sensors
Description
The Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals are a three-pedal set with a load cell brake that reads up to 100 kg (220 lb) of pressure. The throttle and clutch use contactless H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensors with up to 16-bit resolution (65,536 values per pedal).
Adjustment. A set of six springs (with washers) tunes the brake feel, and pedal height, inclination and spacing are adjustable. Electronic brake force and dead zones are set in Thrustmaster's calibration software.
Build. 100% metal pedal heads, arms and textured footrest in a 330 ร 380 ร 220 mm, 5.2 kg package.
Connection. Removable USB and RJ12 cables: direct USB to a Windows PC (recommended for best resolution), or RJ12 to a Thrustmaster wheel base on PS5, PS4, Xbox and PC, including the T598 and T818.
Features & highlights
Driving style
The T-LCM is a load cell upgrade for drivers who want braking by pressure for consistency and trail braking in iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate, F1 and Gran Turismo 7, and the clutch supports manual cars, rally and drifting. Users report it can take days to weeks to build muscle memory and some fine-tune the spring stack to modulate well. Best for Thrustmaster console players and PC racers on any base who want load cell braking at a mid price; less suited for drivers on slippery floors without a cockpit, or those who want the latest 24-bit Raceline load cell.
Build quality
The T-LCM uses steel pedal arms, heads, heel plate and springs inside a plastic shell (330 ร 380 ร 220 mm, 5.2 kg), with a weighted front for floor stability and a template for cockpit mounting. Reviewers report some sideways wobble on the pedals, especially the brake, and a broken rubber stopper was mentioned on forums after modding.
Software
Brake force and dead zones are set in Thrustmaster's T-LCM calibration software on Windows, which requires a direct USB connection to the PC. Thrustmaster recommends USB on PC for best resolution; on consoles the pedals connect to a Thrustmaster base by RJ12 and are plug and play. On PC they work as a standalone USB device with any wheel base, and SimHub can read the inputs.
