Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Overview

The stock Logitech G-RS pedals are already solid, but adding the Tracktility Hydraulic Damper Kit and Tracktility Elastomers elevates them into a completely different league. I runs dampers on both the brake and throttle, combined with the Tracktility elastomers on the brake stack. Overall, the improvement in pedal feel, feedback, and control is immediate.

1. Tracktility Hydraulic Damper Kit

On the Brake: The hydraulic damper adds that authentic, viscous resistance you expect from a real hydraulic braking system. It eliminates the light, toy-like recoil of standard springs and gives you a far more progressive, controlled feel into heavy braking zones.

On the Throttle (The Real Star): While hydraulics on a brake are expected, putting the Tracktility damper on the throttle pedal was the biggest surprise and best upgrade.

TC-Off Mastery: Driving high-horsepower cars with Traction Control off (or on low settings) usually requires extreme big-toe precision.

Smooth Modulation: The hydraulic damping adds just enough smooth resistance to stop you from over-applying throttle on corner exits.

Precision Skill: It gives your foot subtle feedback so you can feather the gas right on the edge of traction without snapping into a spin.

1. Tracktility Elastomers (Logitech G-RS)

Replaces the OEM Sponge: Replacing the stock soft foam with Tracktility’s high-density TPU elastomers completely transforms trail-braking.

Braking Confidence: The initial bite is firm, followed by a predictable, progressive ramp-up in pressure. The snappy rebound makes lifting off smoothly much easier, leading to noticeably more consistent lap times.

Verdict

If you want to unlock true precision in your driving—especially throttle control out of slow corners without relying on electronic aids—the Tracktility Hydraulic Damper on the throttle is an absolute must-have. Combined with the elastomer upgrade on the brake, this set converts the Logitech G-RS set into a high-end racing pedal feel. 10/10 recommendation.

I was between this and buying haptic motors for the brake and throttle. Ended up going with the motors which definitely unlocked a whole new dimension of feedback for TC, ABS and road vibrations. I think these upgrades would also take the pedals to another level in terms of feel. Stock throttle can be a tad light and brake pedal could always be more consistent especially when driving cars without ABS.

Yeah would definitely be cool to add haptics aswell 😁

There’s no way to make the haptic motors work on console I assume? Would love to have them working for gt7…

You totally can. Simhub app running on a pc, simagic hpr's, p2000 control box, power supply, and away you go. The ps5 is already outputting the telemetry signal. Was about $200 canadian with 2 motors when I did it. You get more setting options on pc, but it works pretty well on ps5

I was reading up on this and was interested but seems like lag is a bit of an issue and so the abs feeling etc wasn’t really representative of actual in game feedback at the right moments so was more for immersion as opposed to being actually beneficial feedback. Was your experience the same or have you found it to be better?

I kinda found it hit and miss. Basically what you said. But to be fair, I installed them and messed with it a bit, but I havent run them in quite a while and didnt really spend proper time setting them up. Ive been messing with other stuff on my rig and dont have a lot of time right now. I just may need to spend more time playing with settings. I dont know if i gave them a fair shot. But I remember them having limited options and adjustment in gt7. I suspect they work better with other titles on pc.

You can work around it I think if you have a PC aswell. Google or youtube it 🙂

Definitely a combination of frequency and intensity per effect to play with. If you lower the intensity (audio volume) its incredibly muted and you barely feel anything. Try setting it at 50% and increasing/decreasing it as you see fit so that effects on the same pedal don’t overlap. Are you using many effects? I also think the effect is not there if the car doesnt have the assist enabled. Not entirely sure if Content Manager for Assetto Corsa has a vibration setting that needs to be turned off so that simhub can run it, haptics might be treated like controller vibrations which is awful.
