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