A pedal assembly (e.g. as a brake input into a computer driving simulation game) has a pedal head 101 linked to a potentiometer, with maximum travel stops 106,305, restoring means (e.g. elastomer or spring 200) and at least one adjustable compressible stop 104,303 to give feel to the pedal. The stops may be adjusted with e.g. a screw tread, slidable mountings, adhesive or hook and loop fastenings. Compressible stops may have rubber portions that are tapered (fig 4a); rounded or flat (fig 4b); cylindrical (fig 4c) or of an elongate wedge shape (fig 4c), and engage a profiled pedal arm (102, fig 5). A cable adjuster 203 may also adjust the feel, and the pedal may slide rather than pivot. Three pedals may be adjustably mounted in a frame (fig 6) to simulate accelerator, brake and clutch pedals. |
