Logitech G PRO Pedals Review: Are Load Cell Pedals Worth the Upgrade?
|
If you're running a Logitech direct drive wheelbase and you're still on entry-level hall sensor pedals, the Logitech G PRO Pedals are the upgrade you should be thinking about. A genuine load cell brake, solid three-pedal construction, and designed to work seamlessly within the Logitech Racing Series ecosystem - the G PRO Pedals deliver a more realistic pedal feel over hall sensor alternatives and give you the braking consistency that serious sim racing demands. Here's our take from the Gamer Gear Direct showroom.
Quick Verdict
The Logitech G PRO Pedals are a great load cell brake upgrade for console and PC sim racers in the Logitech ecosystem. If you want better pedals than the RS pedals included with the RS50 Bundle, this is the step up to make. For console sim racers in particular, the G PRO Pedals are our first recommendation. No downsides worth flagging - they just do what they're supposed to do, and they do it well.

The Load Cell Brake: What It Actually Feels Like
The defining feature of the G PRO Pedals is the load cell brake - and for anyone making the switch from hall sensor pedals, this is where the difference is immediately felt. More realistic pedal feel over hall sensor is the simplest way to put it. The brake responds to pressure rather than position, which means every corner entry is governed by how hard you push, not how far.
In practice, this translates to more consistent braking. You stop fighting the hardware and start focusing on your driving. The progressive feel of the load cell - resistance building as you apply more pressure - is immediately familiar to anyone who's driven a real car, and that familiarity is exactly what makes load cell braking faster to adapt to and more rewarding to master.
The clutch and throttle pedals round out a well-built three-pedal set that feels premium throughout. Metal construction, solid mounting, proper adjustability for spacing and angle - there is nothing here that feels like a cost was cut.
Who Should Buy the Logitech G PRO Pedals
Console sim racers - this is the pick
For PS5 and Xbox sim racers who want load cell braking, the G PRO Pedals are the natural choice. They connect to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PC without any compatibility concerns, and they are designed to integrate with the Logitech Racing Series ecosystem. If you are on console and you want better pedals, start here.
RS50 owners who want a pedal upgrade
The RS pedals included in the RS50 Bundle are a competent entry-level set, but if you want better than what comes in the box, the G PRO Pedals are a direct upgrade that works seamlessly with the RS50 wheelbase. You don't need the G PRO Wheel to justify the G PRO Pedals - pairing them with an RS50 is a smart combination that lifts the braking quality of the whole setup.
G PRO Wheel buyers
The Logitech G PRO Bundle packages the G PRO Wheel and G PRO Pedals together at a better combined price - the obvious way to buy into the full G PRO setup.
G PRO Pedals vs MOZA CRP2: How We Position Them
Both the Logitech G PRO Pedals and the MOZA CRP2 Load Cell Pedals are excellent. The key differentiator is ecosystem and platform:
- Console or Logitech ecosystem: G PRO Pedals. Native PS5 and Xbox compatibility, designed to work with Logitech wheelbases.
- PC and MOZA-based setup: MOZA CRP2. Modular construction, 100kg load cell, and a clear upgrade path into the MOZA mBooster active pedal system.
Both give you load cell braking. The choice comes down to what the rest of your setup looks like.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Genuine load cell brake - noticeably more realistic and consistent than hall sensor pedals
- Native PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PC compatibility
- Solid metal construction throughout - no flex, no play
- Full three-pedal set with adjustable spacing, angle and travel
- Works with both RS50 and G PRO Wheel bases
- Available as part of the G PRO Bundle for combined savings
Cons
No specific negatives - the G PRO Pedals deliver on everything they promise.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Logitech G PRO Pedals?
The Logitech G PRO Pedals are a three-pedal load cell set (throttle, brake, clutch) designed for the Logitech Racing Series. They use a load cell sensor in the brake pedal rather than a position-based hall sensor, delivering more realistic and consistent braking feel. Compatible with PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Do the G PRO Pedals work with the Logitech RS50?
Yes - the G PRO Pedals are fully compatible with the RS50 wheelbase and represent an excellent braking upgrade over the RS pedals included in the RS50 Bundle. You don't need the G PRO Wheel to use them.
What is the difference between the Logitech G PRO Pedals and the MOZA CRP2?
Both are load cell pedal sets, but they suit different ecosystems. The G PRO Pedals are the right choice for console sim racers and Logitech ecosystem users. The MOZA CRP2 is the pick for PC sim racers building a MOZA-based setup, particularly those who may want to add the MOZA mBooster in the future.
Are the G PRO Pedals worth it over the RS pedals?
Yes - if you want better braking consistency and a more realistic brake feel, the G PRO Pedals are a meaningful upgrade. The load cell brake makes your braking more repeatable, which directly translates into more consistent lap times.
Can I buy the G PRO Pedals separately or only in a bundle?
The G PRO Pedals are available both separately and as part of the Logitech G PRO Bundle with the G PRO Wheel. If you are buying the G PRO Wheel and G PRO Pedals together, the bundle is the better value.
