    My Act-Labs clutch pedal stopped working, i tried contact cleaner on the pot, but no help, so I am in need of a new set of pedals, budget is around $150 USD. I appreciate any suggestions.

    Just if you don`t know this, Actlabs is selling spare pots for 10 USD...

    Otherwise, for 150 USD, maybe the Fanatec`s?

    Have you tried cleaning the pots with contact cleaner?

    I've never heard of Act-Labs before today :)

    Whats the build quality like on those? Are they US only?

    Are you sure it's the pot itself?
    Maybe just a broken wire?

    Contact cleaner did the job on my G27 throttle pot. So it must be something else like a wire.

    Cool, shame they aren't really producing anymore. I strongly believe we need another brand to come into the sim hardware space to pick up where Logitech has left off.

    Last I heard Logitech arent making any more wheels!!

    Maybe someone like Saitek, or CH could do it

    Sorry, bit off topic then lol

    Well, happy to report, the pedals are ok. I plugged them into a different USB port, and calibrated, and all is well. Thanks for the help !!

    Get a pre-owned set of the Clubsport V2 pedals, then upgrade the damper (shock-absorber) with the Mugen RC ones, and possibly a spring upgrade as well, but I believe the damper upgrade is much more important.

    That setup seems to be very, very good. I admit, I haven't done the upgrade yet (my CSP V2s have been collecting dust for many months - I just don't have a way to mount them).
