Good idea but very uncomfortable

I loved this product because I really like sitting but didn't want it to take up space when not in use. Unfortunately, there are two major downsides: 1) It's very narrow and will pinch your legs. I'm not a little guy, but I'm not the tallest guy I see walking around either. 2) The way the seat is constructed is an absolute killer for your neck. I think it boils down to a flat line at the top so you can see the TV, but after an hour or two my neck is killing me. Also, it would be nice if youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Beware of plus size boys

Overall I am very dissatisfied with this seat, it works but it doesn't work well. The product dimensions show a width of 23 inches, where is 23 inches? The only place that does this brand justice at all is the slider on the bottom to add a little more balance to the chair. As far as I know, this is mostly a lie. Just to let everyone know that the chair is actually only about 17 inches wide. This is extremely impractical for tall people like me. To even remotely solve the problem I sit on 2โ€ฆ

  • It's okay!

Awesome handheld racing simulator

I don't write reviews 99% of the time but this one really deserves it. I'm not someone who has ever tried a real racing sim, just mounted my steering wheel on my desk, but what a difference it makes. It's actually very durable for what it is. I have a Fanatec CSL Elite which is heavier and stronger in terms of force feedback. It holds very well, the only thing you have to do is put the plate in the front position. The pedals didn't fit like they should but I was able to secure them with zipโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No instructions

Why did I wait so long to buy

I couldn't decide for a long time whether I should buy this product. I used a professional wheel stand but still needed a comfortable seat for the setup to work. I also felt that the wheel stand wasn't as solid as I had originally hoped and the wheel was able to move when riding hard. I read a lot about the Playseat Challenge, watched a few video reviews and finally, after much deliberation, pulled the trigger to see if I needed it. Now I regret waiting so long to purchase this product. Setupโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • May damage

First day on the track.

My first impressions are very positive. I'm a 6ft 270lb male and I fit in perfectly but I wouldn't want to be taller. (Also, the bigger guys will want to "adjust" before they sit down, otherwise they'll have a special male awkward situation). Assembly is easy. So easy, you don't need to read the instructions. Just follow the pictures printed in the book. Velcro straps for easy adjustment. Grid marks are a great feature for making sure each page is even. Another great detail are the Velcro cable

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No

Holds Fanatec pedals and heavy load cells

Don't get me wrong, this is not an 80/20 setup and there is some flexibility. But it's just as agile as I expected, with Fanatec CSW 2.5 (max torque around 8Nm) and Clubsport V3 pedals with a tighter brake package. And it's way better than a desk and office chair. Fanatec CSW 2.5 can be mounted directly without modifications. The wheel plate can only be in one of its positions to actually match the Fanatec hole pattern, but I found this position to be ergonomically correct for me (wristsโ€ฆ
