Any good solutions for a bartop driving "pedal"?

shardian:
There has never, ever, ever been an arcade racing game that I have made use of analog pedals on. You wanna go forward, mash the pedal to the floor. You wanna stop, mash the brake to the floor. Having said that, there is no need for an analog throttle. Save yourself some dough and get a standard microswitch/turbo shifter.

Here's an idea





Just a unique idea  :dunno

Get yourself a PSX driving wheel and pedals.  I got one and it works great.  Small pedals too to mount below the bartop stand or counter.  You will need a PSX-> PC adaptor but I got mine for £5 and I can play all my fav racing games that do not require 360 wheels.

Mine was very small just perfect for your cab with suction cups to mount to your CP.

Hope that helps.

A steering wheel with butterfly shifters, I think they are called MOMO, ala Fzero AX.  Or Time Crisis reload pedals:

There not analog but they are cheap and decently sturdy - I havent actually used one in several years.

As in, there is no good solution. If your handicapped and used to using a gas pedal with your hands, then using a hand solution for the gas pedal may feel natural.

Actually...that isn't a terrible idea...when I am not building arcades or brewing up new ideas to convince my wife why we need another arcade cabinet, I am in front of my computer racing GTR or GPL or F1C.....etc. Needless to say, I am a very avid sim racer. My first PC steering wheel was a Thrustermaster wheel that did not have pedals, but two F1 style paddles behind the wheel. The right one made you go, and the left one made you stop (unless you drive like me and overcook every corner)....both were analog and provided excellent feel when racing. When it finally gave up the ghost, I had to get a logitech that had peddles....It took me a long time to get the hang of peddles and my lap times were about 10 seconds slower with them. If you can find one of those old Thrustmasters, I would highly recommend it.
