DIY Load Cell Brake Kit

In a real car the amount of brake applied varies based on how hard you press, not by how far the pedal travels. A load cell is an electronics device which replaces the potentiometer in your controller. It translates pressure instead of rotation to the game, which produces a more realistic feel, and gives you greater control over the lock-up point of your brakes. This kit allows you to modify your standard TSW, TSW2, or TSW Evolution Pedal set to use a load cell. This is only an option for true USB controllers: either those that had integrated USB when new, or have been upgraded to USB at some point (external USB electronics are fine). This kit is not compatible with the Rockfire USB adapter or gameport.The kit includes a new wood base which is specially modified to fit the load cell components. Installation...

Read moreFormula Paddle Shifter

Paddle shifters are a great feature especially if you race road courses. The paddle levers are mounted behind the wheel, one is used for upshifting the other to downshift. Paddles make it possible to shift without repositioning your hand, and don't compromise your grip on the wheel. They also have a much more tactile feel than buttons. NOTE: These paddles are for sim-racing application only, we do not endorse the use of this shifter for any real-world application. These are for use with our GT or MOMO steering wheels, if you have a standard 11 inch diameter wheel you need the Sport Paddle Shifter. When ordering you need to select the appropriate controller version and USB type below to be sure the internal wiring is compatible. If you are unsure which version you have, click HERE.

Read moreSeven-Button Cover

If you have the need for lots of button functions and find using the keyboard requires you to take your eyes off the screen, this alternative steering cover will let you have those functions within close reach of your fingers. The buttons can also be programmed to keyboard functions with button-mapping software such as Joy To Key. Installation of the cover is easy, an RJ45 socket is installed in your steering unit to allow the cover to be unplugged when doing maintenance. An internal USB circuit board is required for this cover to function, so be sure that your controller has this before ordering.Select your controller version from the pull-down list below.

PC sim racers can be divided into two categories: the casual gamer, and the competitive driver. If you fall into the second category, then an off-the-shelf "toy" controller isn't going to cut it for very long. We at Thomas Enterprises recognized that back in the early '90's when the first quality racing simulations started appearing for the PC. We set out to build a wheel and pedal set that felt like it came out of an actual racecar, and would hold up to the rigors of long race sessions under strenuous conditions.
The TSW Evolution is the refinement of all the best features and design improvements we have made in the intervening years. A steel frame in both the steering controller and pedal controller provides unmatched durability and strength. Proven, reliable spring tensioning provides progressive but smooth wheel and pedal centering. Our latest electronics innovations, in the form of the Evolution Analog and Evolution Digital circuit boards, provide unmatched accuracy and stability with either potentiometers or optical encoders. We back our controllers with unmatched customer service and support, and provide a warranty that only makes sense because we know our controllers will last.
We offer many pre-configured controller packages, but you aren't constrained by the configurations we put together. Within each controller package you can select from a number of options to customize the controller to the specific features which best suit your preference and budget. You can also start from scratch and build a completely custom controller using the "Custom Build" option. Be sure to read through the FAQ section, which answers most common questions people have about our products. Also you may want to look at what other people have had to say about our products in the Reviews section, including some very well known race car drivers.
Points of interest:- The wheel clamps to the desk with a single L-shaped metal clamp, which requires 3 1/2" inches of clearance below the underside of the desk. - You can purchase a wheel or pedals separately.
- Our controllers work only with the PC via the USB Port.Our steering wheels and pedals come with a lifetime warranty. - The potentiometers, optical encoders, and cosmetic components (which have a 90 day warranty). - Our customer service is top notch, you'll be talking to people who build and use these controls on a daily basis. |

Gated Shifter Price Increase

We haven't had a price increase for our products for many years, but we've concluded that our gated shifters are just not profitable at the price point they have been at since we introduced them in 2005. To address this we've made the hard choice to increase the price of the H-pattern shifters by $50, and the Speedshifter by $100 so they now all have the same price at $385. Read more

Z-Frame Discontinued

While we hate to do it, we've been forced to discontinue the Z-Frame Sim-Racing Chassis for the foreseeable future. It has proven to be simply too labor intensive to build, and while this is okay while business is slow, right now business is booming, and we're struggling to keep up. We hope to bring it back at some point, but if so we will likely only list it here while we have some on-hand ready to ship. Sorry to anyone who was planning on ordering. Read more

New Product: Sequential Shifter

We've had this shifter in prototype form for awhile, but we've fine tuned the design, made it more attractive, more durable, and now it's ready for prime time. Quite simply, this is the best sequential shifter you will ever use for sim-racing. It's a simple mechanism, built to last, feels great, and it looks pretty good too. It's available in a USB configuration or with stereo cabling to connect into your wheel. Click here to go to the product page. Tactile, Rugged, Realistic Read more

TSW 720 Update

We've been selling the new TSW 720 for a few months now, but it's taken us a while to get it photographed and integrated into our website product listing. It's up now, ready to be ordered online with quite a few custom options. Click here for a direct link to the product page. So why would you want one? Well, it may not be the extra degrees of rotation alone that will provide the biggest benefit. Feedback from the customers using this wheel competatively has been extremely positive, and the advantages seem to have something to do with spring tension progression... Read more

New Product: Load Cell Brake
The realism and effectiveness of the brake pedal has undergone a significant improvement with the addition of our latest product/upgrade option: the Load Cell Brake. Most sim-racing controllers use a potentiometer or encoder for all 3 pedals, which only detects the rotation of the pedal. Often we've had requests for some sort of heavier brake pedal, with a more realistic feel than what the standard potentiometer can produce. We've had some low-tech suggestions which we never put into production because they just were not up to our standards. However we've now developed a high-tech solution using an analog device called... Read more
