Has had Sprints for three years without a single issue and highly recommends them.
Praises the Sprint brake as insane and highly tunable, and its load cell throttle transformed throttle feel in high-downforce cars without traction control.
Moved to Sprints from T-LCMs after finding it hard to trail brake and apply consistent force; the T-LCMs feel like toys by comparison.
Graduated from V3s to Sprints and calls them light years better, though they are stiff enough that the owner started wearing shoes.
Upgraded from Sprints to Ultimates+ and says they feel almost identical, which shows how great the Sprints are.
After lots of time on Sprints, never got along with the elastomer brake kits and got knee pain, so swapped in a VRS spring and recommends it.
Calls their three-pedal Sprints a great set whose only complaint is a clutch that has squeaked since new.
Went from G29 pedals with TrueBrake to Sprints and finds it easier to modulate and trail brake, with all three pedals solid, quieter and distinct.
Replaced a G920 with TrueBrake pedals with Sprints and says they are really good, though the wheelbase upgrade was more noticeable.
After many pedals, now on Sprints; the Ultimate pedals only felt marginally better, so Sprints feel about 90% there at half the price.
Says their Sprints make them drive better and more consistently, and they enjoy modulating 50 kg of brake force.
Mounted Sprints on the SimLab baseplate without the heelplate and regrets it, as the heelplate lifts feet two inches to the pedal pivot.
Uses Sprints on the baseplate without the heel plate, with the rotating pedal pad set long for size 11 shoes, and is completely satisfied.
Could not get used to the Sprints' stiffness after T3PA pedals, tried softer rubbers, and may still need a heel plate.
Has had Sprints for over a year, and sets the brake just under the ABS threshold in SmartControl with a curve for the braking zone.
Just got Sprints after 10+ years of sim pedals and says the difference is huge, with a monster build and countless adjustments.
Mounted Sprints directly into a GT1 pedal plate, where they fit perfectly with no flex at all.
Went from T300 RS pedals and then Fanatec CSL Elite with load cell to Sprints, which are brilliant in every way: top build quality, great software, a lovely clutch and accurate throttle.
Finds Sprints far easier to adjust for pitch, distance, force and software than their older gear, and says they matter if you race often.
Had Sprints, later moved to P1000s and finds them worse in nearly every way.
Upgraded from T-LCM pedals to Sprints and hates the elastomer brake, preferring a spring and finding they were better at braking on cheap Thrustmaster pedals.
Went from G920 pedals with TrueBrake to Sprints and says unless you go competitive you won't need anything else; car profiles are great and support was perfect.
Uses Sprints and calls the software and customer service beyond great, and much easier to use than Meca's software.
Came from a Moza R5 bundle to Sprints and really likes them, being more consistent with load cells.
Moved from Fanatec V3 pedals to Sprints and likes them far more: pedals spread as wide as they like, an easy calibration tool and a simpler brake setup change.
Had the Sprints with no complaints, but after a month on VRS pedals they sold the Sprints because the VRS brake feels better and is easier to modulate.
Says Sprints aren't worth the money, with little adjustability, and recommends Thrustmaster, Fanatec or Moza pedals instead.
Upgraded from Fanatec V3 pedals to the Sprints and says there is no competition, the Sprints are way better.
Says the Sprints feel 10/10 out of the box compared with V3s, though they wish they'd gone hydraulic.
Says Sprints will serve you very well and you'll never need to upgrade, and that resale means they cost little in the long run.
Used a DFGT with Sprints while waiting for a Simucube 2 and got the same lap times, finding the Sprints more immersive.
Owned Sprints and Simsonn Plus X pedals, and sold the Sprints because the Simsonns are nearly identical for far less.
Heusinkveld sent a free replacement load cell for their second-hand Sprints without a receipt, which they call stellar customer support.
Bought used Sprints with a faulty clutch, and Heusinkveld sent a free load cell out of warranty, restoring the clutch.
Their first load cell pedals, the Sprints, feel like pushing on rubber bushings no matter the elastomer or driver setup, though they wonder if they expect too much from a non-active set.
Has Sprints after V3s and loves them, praising Heusinkveld customer service and happy with the upgrade.
Loves Heusinkveld but can't recommend the Sprints over VRS pedals, citing VRS's stepless brake adjustment; the Sprints' plus points are a stiffer throttle and small form.
Runs ACC on a modest rig and says the Sprints feel amazing as a novice, with fantastic customer service, though they'd want stiffer pedals for GT3 realism.
Owned a three-pedal Sprint set and Ultimate+ pedals and finds the throttle so similar that the Ultimate+ is hard to call an upgrade; the Sprints' brake tops out above about 65 kg.
Calls the Sprints a solid choice and finds Heusinkveld's software far better than others for dialling brake response at hardware level.
Went with Sprints after TLCMs and modded Moza SRPs, and finds them easily twice as good, with awesome predictability and repeatability.
Got the Sprints in September 2022 after T-LCMs, and with a baseplate they have held up very well to this day.
Switched from Sprints to SRP GT pedals and finds it only a marginal upgrade in feel, though they still think Sprints feel great.
Has a Simagic Alpha and Sprints with no flex problem.
Upgraded from ClubSport V1 pedals and finds the Sprint throttle way more precise, making it far easier to lift only a little.
Upgraded to Heusinkveld Sprints after Fanatec V3s and couldn't be happier.
Developed left inner thigh and knee pain after moving to load cell Sprints, which they hadn't had with G25 pedals, and swapping the elastomer for a spring didn't help.
Would choose VRS pedals if buying again, and plans to use up their Sprints' lifespan first.
After six years on a G29, finds their Sprints nice but not at all like a real car, and says Simucube and transducers changed more for them.
Upgraded from Fanatec V3 pedals to Sprints, installed inverted, and finds them just better, with software that lets them fine tune rates and curves.
Runs Sprints on a SimLab plate with no drilling needed; there is some flex when pressing hard on the brake, which they say doesn't affect their performance.
Missed brake linearity on their Sprints, tried VRS DFP pedals, then sent the VRS back and kept the Sprints, ordering stiffer springs to replace the elastomers.
Ordered a three-pedal Sprint set in December 2022 that developed rust spots on the plates; Heusinkveld replaced it free of charge without asking for the old set.
Their Sprints arrived with a faulty brake circuit board, and one email brought a free replacement board, which they call great support.
A bushing came out of their early Sprint throttle in shipping, and Heusinkveld sent a replacement without asking for the old one.
Upgraded from Fanatec V3 pedals after five years to Sprints with a Moza R9 and calls their quality, feel and adjustability on another level.
Recently got Heusinkveld Sprints with a Simagic Alpha Mini and is very impressed by the quality.
Absolutely loves the Sprints: they gave much better braking consistency out of the box, with fewer errors over a 40-minute race, though they didn't make them faster.
Upgraded from Sprints only because their maximum braking force was too low for them, but still calls Heusinkveld great with a great product and customer service.
Went from a G920 to Sprints and was very impressed by the engineering, build quality and thought put into mounting and adjustability.
Upgraded from SRP Lite pedals to Sprints for $440 and loves them; after a day of adjustment they cut about 10 seconds from a Nurburgring lap, with great customization and software.
Has used Sprints for about four years and never felt they hurt potential; any gain left is in the driver, not the pedals.
Replaced T-LCM pedals with Heusinkveld Sprints and says they were well worth it.
Loves their Sprints with haptics added; worth it for the Heusinkveld brand.
Says their Heusinkveld Sprint pedals are perfect.
Has had their Heusinkveld Sprints for 4 years and upgraded everything around them but not the pedals, because there's simply no need.
Their Sprints are good and customer service is great, but they'd pick VRS if choosing again and bought a spring kit for them.
Upgraded from Sprints to SRP pedals; with the Sprints' elastomer brake no combination of adjustments ever felt dialed in or natural.
Very happy Sprint user; Heusinkveld's customer care is top notch and replaced parts for free twice, even for a second-hand set.
Has enjoyed their Sprints and doesn't see themselves upgrading unless it's to active pedals.
Loves their Sprints with no complaints.
Loves their Sprints and recommends getting the baseplate unless you have something sturdy to mount them on.

Prefers their old Sprints to the Simagic P2000s that replaced them.
Has owned Sprints since about 2020 and they still work, but the rubbers are poor (they swapped to springs), adjusting means unmounting, the baseplate is badly designed and they're overpriced.

Tried VRS and Sprints and kept the Sprints; the VRS throttle couldn't be set up the way they wanted.
Can brake consistently on their Sprints but struggles to feel a real braking transition in the pedal.
Moved from a modded T-LCM to Sprints; fine racing in socks at 42 kg, about 90% of the way there, though 65 kg max is less than expected.

Has Sprints; tried a friend's Ultimates and wasn't missing anything, so they'd save the money.
Owns Sprints and Ultimates; the Sprints are excellent unless you need more than 65 kg braking force.
Their Sprints are solid at 85 kg with a config tweak, but the stock elastomers are poor for feel and reliability, so they swapped in springs.

Their Sprints are the only part of the rig they don't see themselves upgrading for a long time.
The Sprints' adjustability and smooth, consistent travel are a big step up from their Fanatec V3s.
Swapped V3s for Sprints: stiffer out of the box but far more adjustable with 30-second spring swaps and slightly better build; not twice as good for twice the price.
