I play StepMania a lot, so this was an extremely good buy. You can FEEL your music.I cut a small strip of cardboard from the box it came in, and wrapped it around the chair's axle for a perfect and snug fit. The Buttkicker adds a whole new dimension to music. The rumble fits the bass sublimely.
It makes my Forza 2 racing on the XBOX360 seem so real. Quality product. I am so pleased with the Buttkicker gamer. It is easy to setup and easy to adjust.
It comes with several audio adapters and makes it really easy to hook it up to anything that outputs sound. Install this on your couch or gaming chair (you might have to get creative) and suddenly be whisked away to the intense vibrations present in a warlike environment or FPS. It vibrates like crazy to simulate bass sounds. Don't like driving games. If you think you will like this, you probably will. If not, don't expect it to change your life. This model is made to hook up to a desk chair and it works great at that. For driving games, you can feel the rumble of the road underneath, and that combined with a large HDTV, 7.1 surround sound and force feedback steering wheel will make your xbox 360 or PS3 driving games come alive.
It's not virtual reality, but this device definitely raises the immersion level a little bit.For the price, this is a cool thing, especially for an apartment or house where you can't turn up your subwoofer to get a lot of vibration. It's just a little thing that vibrates.Oh, and you can also hook up your mp3 player or computer to it. This thing is pretty basic. I, however, hooked it up to my Playseat Evolution with Logitech G25 steering wheel. It's not for everyone, but that is something that is hard to advise.
This is a pretty nice addition to gaming. I got this to hold me over while I wait to get the full buttkicker lfe kit. pickup for sure.
:)You'll NEED a strong heavy chair for best results. I've only tried it with tunes at this point, this should be a lot of fun for gaming."Nice to find extras" - Level control on the amp - Switchable lowpass filter - Switchable highpass filter with adjustable cutoff - NICE assortment of cable adapters and cable ties"Kinda Bummers" - The amp has a constantly running fan that's kinda' loud. Woulda' been nice to have the amp auto powerup on when there's sound. For now, I have it turned down so as to not get the passer-bys to ask "why is Mark vibrating." but even at low levels it adds a good level of fun to the whole sonic experience.
RECOMMENDED. :)All in all. Inevitable of course, and it's not bad, just something you gotta watch if you like to sit & spin. pretty cool. :)It can REALLY get things vibrating, and when you have it cranked, you'll feel all of the things that are loose in your chair. The ButtKicker manual talks about stuffing foam into those places that vibrate, it's not a bad idea. In the office it's fine though, it helps mask the chatter.
GOOD PURCHASE. I just got it hooked up on my office chair, it's. My office chair is comfy for me, but it's got some loose parts. - There's a cable on the floor from your chair to the amp.
