Firstly the positives;
-They are decent value if you can get them at a good price, they often dip down to $300AUD.
-Construction is ok, nothing amazing but ok.
-Decent adjustability with regards pedal faces etc
That’s about it as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve been lucky enough to use a huge variety of pedals over the past few years, from G29, T3PA-Pro all the way to top end Heuskinveld’s.
I needed an upgrade around the release time of the T-LCM so bought these as I couldn’t afford the Fanatec V3’s at the time, this was a mistake and I wish I had waited, my first set developed a very loud creaking noise under braking that I couldn’t rectify, they were swapped without too much hassle which was good.
The brake pedal on the T-LCM is just awful, it does not feel like any brake pedal I’ve ever used, the springs are way too soft even with the stiffest combination of red+washers+red.
It is so easy to bottom out both red springs with them attached to a rig that it just feels like using potentiometer pedals, you don’t get a sensation of progressive pressure based braking until you hit the bottom of the springs travel and you are against the load cell, it then becomes pressure based however there is a very two stage feel to the brake pedal, it does not feel progressive at all and makes braking feel very unnatural.
There are mods available for them which use rubber elastomers like the majority of other loadcell pedals, apparently they improve the braking feel however cost somewhere around $70AUD, at this point the cost is well in excess of their main competitor, the new Fanatec CSL load cell pedals.
Just order the Fanatec CSL’s, every review I’ve seen says they are the better pedal set in every regard.
Maybe the softer feel of the T-LCM pedals works for people without rigs to hard mount, but if you are upgrading from potentiometer pedals there is a solid chance you will be disappointed by these as the progressive braking feel a loadcell can provide just is not there with the spring setup the T-LCM uses.
Other gripes, throttle pedal is very weak and has noticeable side to side movement with its stock spring, I swapped mine with the clutch spring as I don’t really use it.
To summarise, T-LCM’s are let down by the design choice to use springs, they need something stiffer as the pedal arm angle creates extra leverage resulting in a very soft, non progressive brake feel, either be prepared to mod the brake pedal or buy something else, they aren’t very good.

Unlike the potentiometers used in cheaper models, which operate based on pedal position, the load cell works on pressure applied, like an actual brake pedal. This allows for more braking consistency due to memory muscle so you hit your braking markers accurately each time and see your lap times fall.
The pedals are super easy to set up. At the time of writing this there was no firmware upgrade, but they worked perfectly connected to my TX servo base and needed nothing but simple calibration using the Thrustmaster calibration software. You absolutely must do this because there’s a choice of springs to set the brake pedal strength and then you will want to set the pressure at which you find braking comfortable.
If I had a small criticism, it would be the softness of the clutch and accelerator. I would definitely like these stiffer and will seek stronger springs to make them feel a little more real. There’s likely to be countless modifications when these pedals have been around a while.
Overall these are amazing for the money. Check out the countless YouTube reviews praising the value for money and your mind will be made up. There’s no load cell pedals available at this price point and the fact they’re so difficult to source when writing this, proves their popularity is justified.
In conclusion I’d say you’re not going to fail to be impressed by these pedals. They really are a fantastic addition to any sim rig and will last a very long time before you’ll want to upgrade. Especially as you witness your lap times fall.
