Simagic appears ready to finally launch its long-awaited Active Pedal. A new teaser from the company focuses directly on pedal control and confirms that its next global product launch will take place on October 14, 2026.
The presentation is called The Next Lap and will cover multiple upcoming Simagic products as the company looks toward 2027. The newest teaser makes it pretty clear that the Active Pedal will be one of the main announcements.

This project has actually been around for quite a while. Simagic first publicly displayed an Active Pedal prototype at SimRacing Expo in 2024, putting an early version of the hardware behind glass while development continued.
Since then, the active pedal market has changed considerably. Simucube established the category at the high end, while Moza introduced the considerably more accessible mBooster in 2025. Simagic has continued developing its own answer in the background.
Very little has officially been confirmed about the final hardware. Simagic has not yet published specifications, pricing, compatibility details, or even a complete breakdown of how the production version differs from the prototype.
The basic idea should be familiar, though. An active pedal uses a motorized system rather than relying entirely on conventional springs and elastomers, allowing pedal resistance, travel, feedback, and other characteristics to be altered through software. A major difference between the active pedals however is how the motor/screw is mounted. Where the Simucube Active Pedal mounts its servo and screw in a straight line, Simagic seems to be opting for a belt driven design, presumably to keep the footprint smaller.
That could make this a particularly interesting addition for existing P1000 and P2000 owners, although Simagic has not yet confirmed whether the new pedal will integrate with either platform.
The reveal takes place only two days before SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, where Simagic will also have a major presence. That should make Frankfurt one of the first opportunities to see whatever is announced during the October 14 presentation in person.
For now, pricing is probably the biggest question. The mBooster has pushed active pedal technology into a much more attainable part of the market, while Simucube remains the premium benchmark, leaving plenty of room for Simagic to position its own system somewhere between the two.
Simagic has been showing this idea for almost two years, so October 14 should finally answer a lot of questions. We need to know how the pedal works, what it costs, how configurable it is, and whether existing Simagic pedal owners can integrate it into their current setups.
Thankfully, there is not much longer to wait. Simagic will reveal its next generation of hardware on October 14, 2026.
