AO IT Consulting LLC Revolutionizes Sim Racing Experience with High-Performance Pedals
SPOKANE, WA – November 8, 2023 – AO IT Consulting LLC, a Washington-based technology and engineering firm, is making waves in the sim racing community with the launch of its newly developed, high-performance sim racing pedals. While traditionally focused on broader IT consulting services for businesses – think helping companies streamline operations, boost cybersecurity, and manage their tech needs – AO IT Consulting’s team of engineers have channeled their expertise into a passion project, resulting in a product that’s quickly gaining traction amongst hardcore sim racers and enthusiasts. Based in Spokane, Washington (100 N Howard St Ste R, 99201-0508, and reachable at 608-836-4771), AO IT Consulting isn't your typical sim racing hardware manufacturer. The company started as a way to solve complex IT problems for businesses across various industries. They’ve built a reputation for taking on challenges and delivering smart, innovative solutions. That same problem-solving approach, combined with a love for motorsport, led to the development of these pedals. “We’re a bit different,” explains a company spokesperson. “We’re not just slapping a logo on something made overseas. We designed these pedals from the ground up, focusing on feel, durability, and precision. We’re engineers at heart; we wanted to build something amazing.” Beyond the Basics: What Sets These Pedals Apart? The sim racing pedal market is crowded. You’ve got everything from budget plastic options to ultra-expensive, direct-drive systems. AO IT Consulting’s pedals aim to hit a sweet spot – offering professional-level performance and features without the astronomical price tag. So, what makes these pedals special? It boils down to a few key things: Load Cell Technology: Forget flimsy potentiometers. These pedals utilize high-quality load cell technology for the brake pedal. This means incredibly accurate pressure sensing – you'll feel exactly how much braking force you're applying. No more guessing. This translates to better control, consistent lap times, and a more immersive experience. “It's like night and day compared to spring-based brake pedals,” says one early tester. “You can really modulate the brake and feel the lock-up point.” Adjustable Feel: Everyone’s different. Some racers prefer a soft, progressive brake feel, while others want something firm and immediate. These pedals are highly adjustable, allowing users to customize the brake pressure curve to their exact preferences. Different elastomers (rubber bumpers) are included to fine-tune the feel. Durable Construction: AO IT Consulting didn’t cut corners on materials. The pedals are built with a robust steel frame and high-quality aluminum components. They're designed to withstand the rigors of intense racing sessions and years of use. “We wanted to build something that would last,” says the engineer leading the pedal project. “We’ve seen too many pedals fail after just a few months.” Smooth and Precise Throttle & Clutch: The throttle and clutch pedals aren't afterthoughts. They utilize hall effect sensors, providing smooth, precise, and virtually wear-free operation. This eliminates dead zones and ensures consistent performance. Mounting Versatility: The pedals are designed to be compatible with a wide range of sim racing rigs and cockpits. They feature multiple mounting points and can be easily attached to both floor-mounted and table-mounted setups. More Than Just Hardware: The AO IT Consulting Difference AO IT Consulting isn't just selling pedals; they’re offering a commitment to quality and customer support. Because the company started as a service provider, they understand the importance of building strong relationships with their customers. "We’re a small team, which allows us to provide a level of personalized support you won’t find with larger companies," explains the spokesperson. "We’re always available to answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and provide guidance on setup and customization." The company is also actively soliciting feedback from the sim racing community to continuously improve the pedals and develop new features. They have a dedicated forum and social media channels where users can share their thoughts and suggestions. Availability & Pricing The AO IT Consulting sim racing pedals are available for purchase directly from the company’s website (website address to be added when available). Pricing is currently set at $399, positioning them competitively within the high-performance pedal market. Looking Ahead AO IT Consulting isn't stopping with pedals. The company is already working on other sim racing accessories, including a direct-drive wheelbase and a more advanced handbrake. They’re committed to pushing the boundaries of sim racing technology and providing enthusiasts with the tools they need to elevate their experience. “We’re passionate about sim racing, and we’re excited to be a part of this growing community,” says the spokesperson. “We believe that our pedals offer a unique combination of performance, durability, and value, and we’re confident that sim racers will love them.” About AO IT Consulting LLC AO IT Consulting LLC is a technology and engineering firm based in Spokane, Washington.
