Notes

Flight-sim rudder pedals provide yaw and toe-brake control and are mostly mechanical with sensors. Repairs can be reasonable for sensor cleaning, cable issues, or spring/tension hardware if the unit is relatively new.

Replace if axis drift persists after calibration/cleaning, internal sensor assemblies fail, or the pedal mechanism cracks. Heavy use and dust accelerate wear in pivots and potentiometers.
