I am looking for the cheapest set of USB racing pedals (or similar) for use in ED

Hi
I like to run a twin stick setup using a set of racing pedals for accelerate and brake. My current pedals have now been added to my racing rig so need a new set.
Unfortunately, I can't get on with rudders for Elite. I have really tried but my old man brain can't gel with the twin stick setup where twist has to be accelerate and brake.

As I will only be using the two pedals, I would prefer something cheap. It would need to be recognisable by something like vjoy so I could link the two axis.
I guess they don't need to be racing pedals, just very similar.

Push come shove I could get the absolute cheapest racing wheel and pedals, and just place the wheel out of sight.

Any ideas?

Not to answer your question but I use a USB three switch pedal unit which I use for FA on/off, heat sink and shield boost. They basically just map to keys.

Thanks.

I did look at those (or something that sounds very similar on Amazon) but the pedals need to be analogue.

But if you have two feet and you ain't using them, that's a grievous waste iyam!

I found the cheapest wheel and pedal combo in amazon for £34. Hoping I can use software to combine the two pedals, job done.

Why not try modding an old joystick? there are lots of ideas on the tinterweb. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=homemade+rudder+pedals+for+flight+sim

Don;t go cheap on pedals. Seriously they break so easily it is not even funny.

Many thanks for your replies!

I have a dedicated rudder which I use for DCS World but I can't get on with it with how I play Elite. Also, I couldn't repurpose another stick because they all have uses :/. However, I really enjoyed the videos demoing making the custom rudders.

The only options were either dedicated race pedals which cost a packet or, find a cheap wheel.

Got this one:

It's so cheap that the pedals share the same axis so I didn't even need to use software to link the axis!

But totally does the job in Elite as forward and reverse thrust

Also, as a Brucey Bonus, my children can use it to play racers! Their little legs don't reach the pedals in my simrig.

Sweet!

I've had a cheap Saitek pair since 2008 and they not dead yet.
