The Buttkicker adds a whole new dimension to music. I play StepMania a lot, so this was an extremely good buy. The rumble fits the bass sublimely. 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.
I am so pleased with the Buttkicker gamer. It makes my Forza 2 racing on the XBOX360 seem so real. It is easy to setup and easy to adjust. Quality product.
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. This thing is pretty basic. This model is made to hook up to a desk chair and it works great at that. 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's just a little thing that vibrates.Oh, and you can also hook up your mp3 player or computer to it. I, however, hooked it up to my Playseat Evolution with Logitech G25 steering wheel.
If you think you will like this, you probably will. It vibrates like crazy to simulate bass sounds. It's not for everyone, but that is something that is hard to advise. 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. Don't like driving games. If not, don't expect it to change your life.
It comes with several audio adapters and makes it really easy to hook it up to anything that outputs sound.
I got this to hold me over while I wait to get the full buttkicker lfe kit. This is a pretty nice addition to gaming. pickup for sure.
:)You'll NEED a strong heavy chair for best results. Woulda' been nice to have the amp auto powerup on when there's sound. :)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. I just got it hooked up on my office chair, it's. GOOD PURCHASE. In the office it's fine though, it helps mask the chatter.
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.
My office chair is comfy for me, but it's got some loose parts.
Inevitable of course, and it's not bad, just something you gotta watch if you like to sit & spin.
pretty cool.
- There's a cable on the floor from your chair to the amp.
The ButtKicker manual talks about stuffing foam into those places that vibrate, it's not a bad idea.
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.
:)All in all.
RECOMMENDED.
