Basherboards’ Fanatec Standard Pedal Filter Review
Here’s my review of the brand new Fanatec Standard Pedal Filter designed by Basherboards. As we all know, the original standard pedals have issues with the potentiometers not registering properly. If you have these pedals sitting around collecting dust, here is the solution to bring them back to life.

Thats so cheap and handy you wonder why Fanatec didn’t include this in their product by default. Excellent solution!
Would this work for other brands as well?
Really nice little unit! Has to be worth a shot at that price if you have the issues listed
At this time it’s only compatible with the standard Fsnatec pedals.
I tested with the Clubsports, but it did not register. .
I spoke with Basher and if this version is successful, he may work on a
Version 2. Great product for a great price in my opinion.
Seems like a simple lowpass filter, but 22$ is not a crazy price for saving the hassle of building it yourself, and you get it nicely packaged.
Off topic (or much more general), I don’t know if people likes video reviews. I actually prefer them text-based with maybe a couple of 15 sec videos showing the really important stuff.
Thank you for the kind words everyone.
I’ve never put something I made “out there” before so the kind words mean A LOT.
I wanted address a few points:
Bram Hengeveld – “Will they work with other pedals”
They should work with anything that uses just pots, like the MS pedals or Driving Force GT, but you would need to connect all of the wires properly for that to work. Not impossible certainly and if people need these for that I suppose I could come up with some adapters. Thankfully, most people don’t have issues with those pedals so they wouldn’t need something like this.
I don’t know whether or not these will work with the base CSR pedals yet… Someone would need to test that for me as I don’t own a set. Believe it or not, I only use the standard pedals which is why I made this little guy.
Alberto Casado – “Seems like a simple lowpass filter, but 22$ is not a crazy price for saving the hassle of building it yourself, and you get it nicely packaged.”
I tried a simple lp filter to start with and it didn’t quite cut it. The Fanatec wheel is VERY particular about what it sees coming from the pedals which is actually the reason why so many folks have the problems they do with the standard pedals. That being said, it’s not magic and anyone knew their electronics could figure it out the moment they opened it up. Which, is fine by me honestly. 
You are correct, partially.
Happy racing everyone!
This is great. I might have to make the purchase. I’ve had to take apart and put back together my pedal set so many times that I’ve had to replace the screws.
Great to hear you’ve found a solution.
I have the CLUB SPORT PEDALS so no issues with pedal’s
@mrbasher: this would have come in handy in the Black Logitech Momo era
Always had the exact same problem back then as Jason showed in his video.
Just a little update… I just received confirmation from someone that successfully used one of these to fix his base model CSR pedals. So, it’s not just confined to use with the standard pedals.
I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t Fanatec just incorporate the electronic filter into the build of the CSR pedals, and the Standards, so they would never have that problem?
BTW, nice job! This should help a lot of people. I have a backup set of Standards in case I have problems with my CSP.
I just recently had to wait on a new load cell for the CSP’s. I rigged up my Standards and they really performed nice. Your product is a great bargain to revive the Standards. Congrats!
I feel there are two possible scenarios:
1. They didn’t know what the real issue was and therefore didn’t know something like this would fix it. Possible, I mean, look at how many people fought with their standard pedals and never thought of it. I didn’t notice until I put the pedals on an oscilloscope!
- or -
2. I can’t say what I really think is going on. However, I’d be curious to know what the discounted cost was for upgrading from the standard pedals to Clubsports.
