175$ (pedal + TinyBOX USb controller) - if you buy direct from Russia (payment with Western Union or bank transfer only - no PayPal). There you have option for different USB controllers. Example, the FatBox - the previous plus 3 Magneto Resistor digital sensors for some DIY... or the Throtlle Box that can handle (e.g.) a G940/Cougar throttle together with T-pedal. 159 Euros (~220$) if you buy T-Pedal (+TinyBox) from European based (Netherlands I think) reseller.

best pedals are from Simped but made from plastic Simped are "the best" years ago. Today they are surpassed by VKB RDRXXI models, T-Model, MFG Crosswind, Slaw (pedal) Device. Simped electronics date from end of 90's - advance at time, the first to use HALL sensor - but their USB controller is USB 1.1 and limited to 128 or 256 bits only. And are discontinued at some years.

I did get this Simped pedals paying 175,- euro's, think these VKB are a much better buy.
Luke from RoF website seems to have them. Yes, I have a pair of the Mk.21-3 pedals, and I am extremely pleased with them. Everything about them is top-level quality.

$175 direct payment to Russian Federation, eh? What is the shipping cost? Ask shipping cost for Russian VKB guys, write in English to UIV or AlexOZ informing your location: vkb.mov@gmail.com @ Snakels You can see pictures and specs for VKB RDRXX1 models here (Google translator). "Short" and "Long" versions refer to foot rest size. For prices (in Russia, in USD) look here: http://www.vkb-flightsimcontrols.com/zakaz/index_z.phpBTW - This "21" in model name refer to # 21 revision of design in ~10 years. The VKB models is in constant improvement. FYI - I'm not Russian and I have no relationship with the brand. Post just to inform the "community". Sokol1

Yes, thanks Sokol. I think I will hold off for now, though, even if it is a great value. Saitek combat rudder pedals usually sell for the same price in the US.

Thanks Sokol1
It is a very neat design, the T-rudder appears to work well where independent wheel brakes are not required - or desired - in a small form factor.
The MK21-3 certainly looks the business!

No, no "toe brakes", T-Rudder is a "low cost" version - relative to RDRXXI - as alternative to the malefic "twist rudder". Seems that VKB plan a bicycle like brake (Spitfire/Hurricane) to attach in his stick, as this type are use in many Russian planes (Il-2, Yak, Lagg, La5... Mig 15, 21, Ka-50 and others) that can use the same USB controller of T-Rudder. T-Rudder use non progressive cam (V) for centralization. See pics in the assembly manual (in English) here: http://tempfile.ru/download/532682edf87e765aa40c0b1262138659Edit - User review: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/11121-t-rudder-vkb/#entry169736Sokol1

These pedals look like a dream come true, being able to simply push with the toes is perfect for me. Just wish I could buy them here in the US. How good are they ? I watched several videos about them, but they are all in Russian. Looks great from what I can tell. Once assembled is it pretty easy to set it up ? Like plug and play usb, looks like there is extensive configuration software that comes with it but the vids were all in Russian.
