Gaming seat setups?

[Darren S]

Just wondering what people have bought or setup themselves?

I'm after something that I can bolt the Logitech G25 to - ideally - along with the pedals and optional gearstick that I have. I want it to be bolted to a seat and frame that I can easily (within reason) move out of the way. As much as I try to get over it, it bugs me having to attach the wheel to the PC desk, put the pedals on the floor, run the USB leads, etc - and then do the reverse once I'm done.

I've tried a cheap alternative, but that was of limited use. Again, I'm interested in the full seat solution that can be adjusted for someone shorter than I (6' 1") should they want a go.

Cheers,
D.

I have an Rseat RS1. It's proper.

It's also adjustable.

I've got the playseat challenge, the foldable one. Really happy with it, folds away quickly and reasonably priced.

How much do they come in at? Does the wheel mount flex at all with steering inputs?

I presume that's pretty rigid and that you can't fold it away?

Good stuff - as above, does the wheel base flex much?

€599 IIRC. No flex at all, it's solid as a rock.

Not foldable, but generally the foldable ones are the ones that flex.

It's pretty sturdy tbh, probably not solid but by no means flimsy.
It was actually the pedals where I had an issue, braked hard and pushed the pedals out of the frame. Had to super glue and not had a problem since

I have a playseat challenge and really like it iirc I paid about £150 for it. Well worth it imo

No honestly. Have to stick a cushion or coat on there as my back hurts after a while.

Winning eases the pain.

I'm after that paradox - something sturdy yet can be folded up (to an extent) and moved out the way.

I really like racing games - have done for years. But I don't think I'd commit enough time/effort into them to justify a £500+ seat.

Still something to ponder though!

For £500 you could go on some actual track days, in real life!

That's FAR too dangerous on the wallet!

I've done a couple of track days and they are automotive crack. I really could go stupid with them.

I do both!

Obviously real life is better but you can't really sit down in the evening and decide that you want, by 5 minute's time, to be hammering down the Mulsanne, at night, in the wet, in a Mercedes CLK GTR.

I just stick the seat etc in the spare room when I'm not using it.
