I had a really difficult time getting the paddles screwed in correctly - I say 'correct' but the only way I could get the right paddle registering clicks was to tighten the 4 screws down as much as possible - really overtighten them. I found their solution a bit odd but time will tell how that holds up.
This is funny to hear tbh, seeing as there is no need for clearance between the SF1000 and the paddles themselves. The paddles only need to be tightened enough to touch the contacts on the back - which is touching by default and does not need the screws. The screws just hold the thing in place. Now, if the paddle was not registering clicks, and it got sorted when you tightened the screws - you changed something else. What matters is the contact between the paddle, and the device it's sitting on, which has nothing to do with the screws. Over time, the paddles bend and there is constant contact with the clicker on the back. That is the issue, not the screws. a 0.001 adjustment there fixes the issue. Either by bend, or just it sliding into position.
Thanks Chris! Yeah I'm with you there. The shifts are very noisy. It would bother me much more if I didnt have noise cancelling headphones, so it always amazes me how loud it really is when I put them off! But the feel is great at least.
Sad that they sold the SF1000 with those garbage paddles. I bought the Tchronos after a week of using this wheel. The clicks are just too loud if you live with anyone else.
Truly an amazing wheel! Yeah as I already said it really depends on what you like. It's good that they give you the option in the first place! Thank you and regards from germany :)
Chrono is must have! Otherwise my Neighbors will kill me once I drive during the night. Default pedals sounds cheap. But someone said: ''Positive click'' wtf is positive click...lol. Did you had Fanatec wheel on your hands once? Check it - you will feel whats mean ''positive click'' cause the one you show it on your video is a very ''negative click'' So Chrono Pedals helps a lot already and yes faster in F1 game = important thing. Positive best regards...
sf1000 have gear problems and frozen screen problems, if you play on a ps4. Had the same problem on two sf1000 wheel add-on until I return it. If you buy T-Chrono paddles may solve the problem for a while, it work for me for 4 months.. but the problem always comes back at some point. Sf1000 has more problems too, if you own a T300-base then you will lose force feedback a lot.. you must buy a GT 2-base. If you play on a PS4 don't buy sf1000 wheel add-on. it will cost a lot of money for something that doesn't work and a lot of time.
Left paddle is downshift right is upshift. Sometimes it’s used as clutch but if you have multiple then there would be a separate paddle for clutch. Pretty simple.
I like the quieter sound of the "upgrade" paddles. Not sure I'd buy them unless I got a really good deal though. If my wife complains I might ;P

There is a tightening down method to the paddles, for anyone in the future please google it so you can seat the paddles correctly
Great video! One of my main issues with the SF1000 paddles is the loud clicks of the paddles compared to the 1st F1 wheel add on.

I found the chrono paddles for 30 euro's on Alternate. Couldn't resist buying the upgrade.

The Chrono paddles are for people with significant others who complain about the noise. The OG paddles are great for anybody else.😊
thanks for making this video. i was curious as to what the difference was. this is a good comparison of the two.
i have the fs1000 wheel and LOVE it ,, and in my eyes its a MUST to buy the Chrono paddles,, so much better ,, regards from amsterdam

I'm happy with the one that came with sf1000 (they're great )except when I use other wheels afterwards the gear shifting feels horrible now,

If you bought m3 20 mm screws with some ring washers it would’ve solved it. Non the less ridiculous they don’t provide this themselves
Oi maybe don’t play it on a ps4 then.
What the point of them honestly ,I think they just added them fir the hell of it as the originals had to be removable for the USB C port ,
My chrono paddles broke after 2 months..
Thank you for the vidéo. I ll get the wheel and only buy that if I don t like the normal. See you on the track
not really an issue when it comes to noise right? dont you people play with headphones on? i do so the extra clic noise is not worth the upgrade imo.
Yes I play with headphones but the people in room next door don’t 😂
the original are harder to press than in a real car. And much louder.
How do you know have you driven an F1 car
What about the sound? Is the upgrade not as load?
the T Chronos are way quieter.
Can you make a vedio how to use this during the race.

How cAn we find to buy? Just in August?
Bought in Australia july 2nd , but out again till July 13th (just looked again) , The Gamesmen Sydney
are the t chrono paddles magnetic like the originals or not?
No, theyre not magnetic, theyre normal switches like other TM Products. Thanks for Watching!
@@alc_media thanks for the answer! and no problem im just here trying to find out whats good for me :P lol
Thank you you saved me 100 bucks !
which one is better chrono or stock
chrono, the stock one is noisey and actuating the normal one requires way more force, but it depends on your self as well.
@@justvoorfun Thank you, I will pay attention to these when buying the product.
Are you from germany ?
Nice video! Btw they're called paddles not pedals...
Thanks and yeah youre right :P
in luxembourgish next time!!
so you can up and downshift with the same hand now? :D
yes you can!
@@alc_media so sick. Mine should arrive the 15th of december 😍
Like subscribed !
not worth it at all :D. the standard ones are so much better
the chrono pedals are a massive downgrade from the original ones in my opinion
In German please
Yes! The language understandable by all over the globe. A simply great idea there!
