PXN has expanded its sim racing hardware lineup with the Vector X, a new adjustable pedal system aimed at enthusiasts and competitive sim racers. Its design combines load cell sensing, mechanical tuning, and software customization, with an optional clutch available for drivers who prefer a three-pedal setup.
The Vector X load cell pedals are available through PXN's regional stores, with prices starting from €149 on the EU storefront. With multiple pedal configurations and extensive tuning options, this pedal set is designed to accommodate different racing disciplines, driving preferences, and sim rig setups.
The PXN Vector X Pedals are built for sim racers who want stronger braking precision, adjustable pedal feel, and a more competitive driving setup.
Load Cell Brake, Dual-Sensor Throttle, and Optional Clutch
200kg Load Cell Brake
The brake pedal uses a 200kg high-sensitivity load cell to measure applied force. Drivers can adjust its resistance using replaceable alloy steel springs. A red spring is installed by default, while a firmer green spring is included for those who prefer a stiffer brake feel.
X-Cross Dual-Sensor Throttle
PXN's X-Cross system combines a 15kg load cell with a high-precision Hall angle sensor, allowing the throttle to measure both force and pedal position. According to PXN, combining the two sensors helps reduce signal distortion and response delay during rapid inputs, supporting smoother throttle modulation.
Optional 30kg Load Cell Clutch
PXN also offers a racing clutch pedal for the Vector X system, allowing drivers to upgrade to a three-pedal setup. The optional clutch uses a 30kg load cell and a two-stage mechanical structure designed to reproduce the nonlinear resistance of a real clutch, which is particularly relevant for manual racing, drifting, and race starts.
Premium Construction and Mechanical Adjustability
The sim racing pedal set uses laser-cut 304 stainless steel plates for the main pedal structure and a 6mm CNC-machined 6061 aluminum base plate. Its pedal faces and raised heel rest are made from 3mm carbon fiber. These materials are intended to provide a rigid mounting structure and limit unwanted flex under heavier pedal inputs.
Drivers can adjust the pedal arm angle, face position, travel, and spacing to accommodate different seating positions, rig dimensions, and pedal movement preferences. This flexibility helps create a more comfortable pedal arrangement.
The Vector X system combines premium materials, mechanical adjustability, and competition-focused pedal architecture for more personalized control.
Pedal Customization Through PXN SimRacing Software
PXN SimRacing provides controls for calibrating the Vector X Pedals and monitoring their inputs in real time. Drivers can also edit output curves and adjust dead zones to refine how each pedal responds throughout its range.
The throttle supports three sensor modes:
-
Mixed mode: Combines input from the load cell and Hall angle sensor.
-
Load cell mode: Measures throttle input by applied force.
-
Hall angle mode: Measures throttle input by pedal position.
These options let sim racers choose how the throttle input is detected and adjust its response to match their preferred pedal behavior.

Final Thoughts
The Vector X represents a more advanced option within PXN's range of racing sim pedals. Although its 200kg load cell brake pedal remains the headline specification, the system's broader appeal lies in the ability to adjust physical pedal feel, customize how inputs are registered, and choose between two- or three-pedal configurations. Combined with the dual-sensor throttle, this flexibility makes the pedals relevant to sim racers who want to shape their setup around their own driving technique.
FAQ
Q1: What are the PXN Vector X Pedals?
The PXN Vector X Pedals are an adjustable sim racing pedal set featuring a load cell brake, dual-sensor throttle, and optional clutch pedal.
Q2: Do the PXN Vector X Pedals use a load cell brake?
Yes. The brake uses a 200kg load cell to measure applied force. Its resistance can be adjusted using replaceable alloy steel springs.
Q3: How does the Vector X dual-sensor throttle work?
The X-Cross throttle combines a 15kg load cell with a Hall angle sensor, allowing it to detect both applied force and pedal position. Drivers can select mixed, load-cell-only, or Hall-angle-only input through PXN SimRacing.
Q4: Can the Vector X Pedals be adjusted?
Yes. Drivers can adjust the pedal arm angle, face position, travel, spacing, and brake resistance. PXN SimRacing also supports calibration, dead-zone adjustment, and custom output curves.
Q5: Is the Vector X Clutch Pedal included?
No. The Vector X Clutch Pedal is an optional addition for drivers who want a three-pedal setup. It uses a 30kg load cell and a two-stage mechanical structure.
