If so, can you give me your impressions concerning quality, feel, etc? I cannot seem to find any reviews of these pedels (in English at any rate).

I own a set, they are a good set of pedals, especially if your aircraft of choice are
rotary wing aircraft!

The only thing that I can fault with them so far is the fact that they seem
to lose calibration periodically. That might be a user problem or the fact that the
translation of inputs to the pc is handled by the VKB 'Little box' that actually plugs into the
PC and into which you plug the pedals. This might be a little sensitive to how you initiate
the communications between the PC>Little box>pedals.

The funny thing here is that the interface connection between the pedals and the little box
appears to be an RJ-45 connector. I have considered plugging the pedals into the
NIC on my PC but am not prepared to take a chance doing this.

Overall they are well made and robust, I suspect that they will last me a long time.
The people at VKB have informed me that they are working on a new version of the calibration and
control software so I am waiting to see what improvements they implement

Thanks for the answer. I like the look of the pedals but am unsure if I can live without toe brakes.

FYI - do NOT plug the jack into a network port...it will likely damage the MaRS sensor in the pedals.

Thanks again!
