REVIEW - Venym Atrax & Black Widow Sim Racing Pedals
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2024
- The Venym Sim Racing Pedals boast some very impressive specs. They host Load Cell sensors on all 3 pedals (including the 200kg sensor on the brake), a 20-bit Analog to Digital converter with 48MHz microprocessor to ensure the fastest and most accurate response possible, and Formula 1-inspired design with adjustments to suit a huge range of brake pedal stiffness.
These specs come with a hefty price tag, especially if you are looking at the Black Widow Carbon Fiber pedal set. So let’s take a close look and put them through their paces to find out if the Venym Atrax or Black Widow Sim Racing Pedals are right for you!

#simracing #venym #pedals - เกม
I own a pair of basic 2 Pedals without LED Covers, just extra soft rubbers, since over 6 months.
I'm delighted of them, had no issue what so ever either install or use-wise. I love them so much 2 of my teammates upgrades from V3s to Venyms because of me, and they confirm my opinion 😂
How's it going now?
@@chrisemma9556 great, I now use shoes and use the standard rubbers
Thanks so much for reviewing these Will. I've really been hoping someone did a quality and honest review on them and you never fail to do both!!
I'm a fan of the Black finish and LEDs on the pedals for the Veynm pedals which is why I have configured these to my upcoming first PC rig. Although most reviews I've seen online have pointed the the Ultimates being a much better investment.
If only the Ultimates had a Team RedLine edition so they have a black finish too
well, i've seen black ultimates around, people say they are very good too but i'm not too keen on 1:1 replicas... if you dont mind you could do some research
Thank you so much once again for this review Will, come from v3, then Heusinkveld and now the Venym Atrax and I have to admit I prefer the venym when I drive.. but it depends maybe of each one. Btw, I've never had that problem with the throttle etc.

1st, thanks for the review and your hard work. 2nd if I saw your review before buying, I never would buy those. But I did before your review, and glad I did. I have the aluminium version and I love them. Most of the issues mentioned are not an issue for those that want to set up once and forget.
I got my pedals waaay before you did yours for review, and I didnt have any issues with the throttle at all. Its really sad tho, as it does undermine the companys quality control a lot. The whole carbon fiber fiasco is crazy.
I really likes this review. Like you I bought those quite some time ago and I don’t remember any of those issues (except for the mounting part). I went to check my pedals as soon as a finished this video (the throttle spring is a big issue) and I couldn’t provoke a situation where the spring would come out even by pulling on the pedal as hard as I could. There is no point of contact between the cover and the pedals anywhere.
It seems they changed the design and it was for the worse. With this review out I wouldn’t recommend those right now.
Agree with you, same on my side I didnt have any issues with the throttle at all, it clearly undermining the company quality when this is not the reality.
Not on the market for a new set of pedals but if I was, these would not even be a consideration. Especially after seeing this review. Carbon set is a gimmick. As are the LED strips; what benefit does an LED offer. Overall quality of both sets seems questionable. Great stuff Will.
Remove all of those gimmicks and you get pedals with adjustability and drivability of HE Ultimates at lower price. I guess I was lucky, but i had no issues woth throttle as Will had in the beginning
@@ZheikoNileth Agree with u!
Another great review guys - have you tested the Imsim Talento pedal set yet? I & your followers would be very interested in your opinion / review - have a great day
They look a work of art
Once again great review! LED's are probably geared toward streamers would be my guess.
Love every review you post! I recently saw a gaming tactic bass vest Woojer which I am very interested how it feels on the sim rig. I only see reviews of it with shooting games and I haven’t seen anything with driving. Can you consider making a review of Woojer?
It’s crazy that they are charging €300+ for just the carbon fiber covers!! They’re insane!!! Another great review Will! Thanks!!
its not a cover..
not a cover its completely carbon
Yes, it’s a completely carbon fiber cover 😉 still insane for that amount of money.
BTW I’m not talking about the pedals. I’m talking about the flimsy side covers.
You can also order the levers and faces with the classical aluminium covers, if you don't want the carbon covers
And on mines the throttle throw is much more like the carbon one so it maybe a one-off problem
Hows the rapid rise of your channel ! I joined you a few months into covid like alot of people did I'm sure. Nearly 250k . Congrats 👏.
Also timing sometimes is everything.
If you ever watched the garth brooks documentary on netflix , he explains how all the music record companies turned him down. He happened to be playing at a pub gig where a guy who was going to have record labels watch this guy didn't show up and they put garth brooks in his place and the guys that turned him down earlier that day were blown away by his live performance and they signed him straight away.
My point is , covid kinda gave you a massive hand as you'd be aware. You had to put yourself in the position to be there but sometimes things happen that are a blessing.
I kinda went away from your vids based on how long they are. But still tune in for possible gear vids if the day comes that I can even get involved in sim racing. 🤣. Gotta have dreams right 😁.
Congrats again and you deserve it, great vids 👏
For all the flaws and rough edges in these pedals, my only thought is do the FIA even vet the products they licence, or do they simply hand them out to whoever is willing to pay for some stickers?
You'd think they would Make sure everything is working right before you send it for a review
Exactly asking that sort of money aswell just seems shoddy to me
Sometimes they need an outsider to steer them in the right direction
@@MUTILATEDFILTH while I agree with you. The question is after seeing this review would you be confident in buying these pedals?
It's strange, maybe Will has these pedals for a long time and they were the first on the market, because now there are no problems.
Safe to say the pedal market is now saturated? At this point, really only interested in new advancements and technologies such as Simucube FFB pedals via servo motor. The CF here definitely look great though and as you stated this throttle here looks to be one of the very best.
Coming from a Simtrecs Pro GT owner, my complaint with those is that the throttle is just uniform throughout the travel and doesn't offer a progressive feeling.
Well on the plus side the lighter carbon fibre pedals save you weight which should improve your sim lap time by 1-2 tenths....just saying
🤣🤣🤣
Will you should do a vrs pro pedal review aswell mate they have a 200kg loadcell and are definitely worth considering
First! Interesting review. Thanks.
Will you buy the new Simucube pedals when they go out for sale?
just considering to buy these or the Asetek Forte (as 2 pedal-set), but don't see why I need to pay additional 200€ for the Venyms as they don't have the base-plate included.
Do you think it's worth the difference @Boosted Media ? Thanks so much! :)
Just an odd question here. Which Alpinestars boots are those? Mine seem to have much thicker/harder sole than yours.
Oh and I'm curious which elastomer and bar pressure you run your invictas with.
K1X from memory. Can’t remember the pressure now but I haven’t changed it since we did the review so it would be shown there.
What is the best sim pedals for dirt oval racing, what I am looking for is the most modulation out of the throttle for maximum throttle control. I currently us the Fanatec V3's. I am not to tech savy on this stuff any help is much appreciated.
If money was not a concern what pedals would you recommend i get? Ive just finished my triple g7 set up with a dell i9 12k and rtx 3090 I have the DD1 and was looking to upgrade my pedals. Your input is greatly appreciated. love the videos
I absolutely love the Asetek Invicta pedals and run them on my daily driver, but they aren’t suitable for everyone. Out of everything I’ve tested, the best all rounders with the highest build quality are the Heusinkveld Ultimate+ in my opinion.
@@boostedmedia Thank you for the quick response. I live in Canada is there an online store or a link you would recommend to order these that can help you out?
Thanks a lot for the support. Here’s the li k to our full review which has an affiliate link for Digital Motorsports.

@@gregogilvie8888 Check out the Imsim Talento pedals they are right up there with the HE ultimate + but a little cheaper. I have recently added them to my rig - they are well worth the money. 👌
you gunna be reviewing the simucube ffb pedals?
I need help and can't find any clue on it.... Does anyone know how can i connect my F-Pro (from cube controls) to my SC2Pro wirelles? Wheel searching mode on the wheel can be activated and the blue light is beeping but simucube software is not detecting anything...
Even the $80 shifter I got from Ebay had fully potted PCBs. Why are they cheaping out so much?
Man I was going to buy these 2 months ago and finally went with sprints and boy am I happy I did. At that time reviews were so positive I'm guessing channels were getting free pedals. Thanks for keeping things real. They need to ramp up quality its un acceptable having these issues for what they are asking.
Honestly, I had no problems with the pedal as mentioned in the video, I have many friends also with the venym and they have no problems. I come from the Heusinkvled and what I can say is that the Venym is better from my point of view.
could u do a f1 22 video with the setup
Surprised you didn’t weigh the two to compare potentially weight savings for motion rigs. Just a thought.
Tnanks😊😊😍😍😍
any plans to review the VRS pedals?
Yep. In progress.
What is your “discount code” affiliate code when we order ???
For race anywhere it’s “boosted”
Thanx Will👍
Price delta - nice 👏👏👏👏
Nothing planned for the Meca Sim Evo1 Pedals yet?
Have they dropped yet. I thought it was a Nov release?
@@matthewbeale8570 They have been out for a few months now. Waiting for mine to arrive and still no reviews out there...
@@matteostopiglia1671which did your go for? And do you mind what the price was. If you're in Australia? I'm seriously considering the load cell set clutch brake accelerator. And yes a review would be nice.
@@matthewbeale8570 I bought the hydraulic 3 pedals version with the baseplate, total of around 1.000€. I'm from Italy tho.
They sure look nice but those prices are ridiculous… Seems to be a trend recently with new sim accessories.
If the Simucube active pedals are has good has the D-box/simtag ones it will mean the end of static pedals in a couple of years!!!
I didn't see motion rigs ending static rigs.
Too much money for what they are. And on top of that, it seems the quality control is absent. For that much money there had better not be any rubbing or defects what so ever.
These r crazy
Why did they skimp on the carbon fiber?🙄
"100 kg is giving you everything you need to feel"
Me: driving my csl elite v2s on 45kg *--*
That’s why I said it depends entirely on your preference. I think the CSL Elite V2s are the best value peals on the market currently. Out of the pedals we’ve tested anyway.
@@boostedmedia yes they are not bad
But i also think that 60kg on the csl elite pedals feel munch heavier than 60kg on the normal csl lc pedals
I have my Heusinkveld Ultimate+ soft rubbers and 24 kg 🤦😂
That pedal flex is ridiculous on the Carbon Fiber version. The price and the amount of flex is not worth the Aesthetics.
Really a poor finish to a carbon fibre product at that price.
That company tried to cash in on the sim craze that popped up during the Rona. It's utter trash.
Yeah, looks like minimal R&D and for the price, just gouging unsuspecting simmers out there.
I ordered them because for same price as the sprints I can get higher brake force… brake force and lack of play in pedals were the selling point for me… everything else he talked about doesn’t bother me
FIA Official Licensed Product 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Massively expensive. Poorly engineered where it counts.
Carbon fiber sim pedals, for.. you know... so your house is lighter and goes faster.
Those are clearly rubbish! I just wonder if they even test their products before sending them to people, and they charge thousands for it!
yes.. maybe Will has these pedals for a long time and they were the first on the market, because now there are no problems.
Bad engineering. Composite components need to be designed different than metal components. Thanks for saving folks their money with your review.
Seems to be of too low quality for the price you pay.
Looks like a complete rip off of Heusinkveld in the mechanics of the pedal function, only done more poorly to maximize profit. Nice steel covers to try and make them look less like Heusinkveld pedals. LOL
bro these petals cost more than my Direct Drive Wheel💀
Pffft.... Add on here add on there.. At those prices. You'd expect some of those add ons to included in the base price.. Sounds like a company milking you for all you've got..
Edit: now I've watched the video. What hot garbage they are.. My statement still stands "just a company looking to milk you for all you've got"....
