Playseats Classic Gaming Seat (Black Alcantara) Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

BRIEFLY

This is probably the least expensive seat to be used with a Logitech PlayStation 3 Driving Force GT Racing Wheel. I found it to be relatively easy to set up. While the seat is comfortable and both the wheel and the pedal base are well supported, there are issues having to do with the ergonomics, portability and the overall solidity of the assembly.

For someone like me, unwilling to pay a lot of their first gaming seat, this should be the preferred entry-level pick. More sophisticated users may find this seat somewhat lacking.

PACKAGING AND ASSEMBLY

This made in China seat came reasonably well packed. Removing the components for assembly was easy and nothing in the box was scratched, bent or damaged. Even though there is no ‘parts list’ per se, everything I needed for assembly was in the box with a few parts to spare.

Incredibly (but true) all assembly instructions fit on 2 8×4″ pages, with half of the space occupied by 16 mini illustrations. I felt a little intimidated at first but, it turns out, the instructions were clear enough to allow us to finish the setup in 30-40 minutes. Assembly consists of a one-time unfolding the sit by sliding a pair of locking pins and fastening a few screws and nuts. The entire assembly is held together with exactly 3 adjusting screws.

In the case of the Driving Force GT wheel, it can be attached with its own mounting clasps – just tighten the screws and you’re done. Other wheels may need the provided Velcro strips. The pedals will need the supplied Velcro and I am please to report that they stay firmly in place this way. The supplied plastic ties could help with cable management.

The seat comes with a one-year, vaguely expressed limited warranty. I doubt that the warranty is worth much so, if purchased from Amazon, I would return this immediately if anything looked broken or about to give.

OPERATION AND ERGONOMICS

The 3 adjusting screws will allow you to set the pedals and a comfortable distance and the wheel height. It is easy to lengthen the frame and then lock it into a position and the same is true for the wheel height. However, since there aren’t preset holes for length/height adjustment and the assembly is held in place by the tip of the screw pressing against the frame’s metal, I don’t know how many readjustments before the frame begins sliding back and forth. Time will tell.

When it comes to storage, it is possible to easily separate the assembly into 2 halves – the seat and the frame holding the wheel and pedals. You must be very careful when moving the frame because the adjusting screws are not strong enough to hold everything together on their own so… you will have to carry your seat’s frame very much you would do a baby.

One word about the pedals. I am used to have the gas and the break pedals slightly on the right because we use the right foot to press them. This seat has them exactly in the middle. It’s not a huge deal but allowing the gas and break pedals on the right would have added to the realism of whatever simulation we are playing.

As far as using the seat, once I got seated I find it to be quite comfortable even for a 6’2″ person (that would be me) and the kids found it comfortable too after they adjusted the distance of the pedals. The rather fragile assembly – thin aluminum tubes – while creating issues when it comes to ‘looks’ and transportation, surprisingly, are a good thing when the seat is used with a wheel and a game that support rumble. The vibrations travel all the way to the seat, making the driving experience a lot more enjoyable than driving with the wheel attached to a table or some other platform lacking seat connections.

MY EVALUATION

On this unit I liked the price – I understand that prices change so my statement may appear ridiculous in a week or in a month. I also liked the relative ease of assembly and, more importantly, the driving experience. Driving on this seat is FUN. My issues with the seat, as I stated already, are related to ergonomics (pedals placement) and durability. After a few weeks of use everything is okay so far. I will come back and update my review if something goes wrong or breaks.

I hesitate between 3 and 4 stars but, after some debate with myself and after talking with the kids who used the seat more than I did, I am leaning toward the 4-star rating meaning “I like it”. Because we do. If, knowing what I know, I had to decide now between buying this seat or spending more for a higher end offer, I’m not sure what I’d do other than carefully read the reviews for the higher end product first.

Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color Display Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

This is an awesome keyboard and I think all others have already done a good job point out it’s features and what it is capable of.

However one thing that should be mentioned that is with all keyboards there can be manufacturing issues, but Amazon can lay fears to rest.

My keyboard was shipped and many of the keys did not work. I had it on a Vista system, so I conneced it to my wife’s XP system to ensure it was not an OS or driver issue and it was not. But with Amazon one click, fill out an online form and a new one was on it’s way immediatly. When that one came there were no issues. I definitely praise Amazon’s hassle free replacements and returns.

It was unfortunate that the first keyboard had issues, but I do have several friends that have gotten this keyboard with no issues.
Maybe some will say I am too unforgiving to the fact that there was a manufacturing issue. But those things do happen and Logitech has a very good reputation and I will stand by them and with Amazon having my back when these things happen its all good.

I still rate this a 5 because of the features and ease of use.

I had the original G15 and unlike others I actually prefer the smaller footprint at teh expense of some of the G keys. Eighteen keys X 3 modes (54 macros) if the G15 is more than what most people need and the 12 X 3 modes is more than sufficuent for my needs as well as many others. also the fact you can change the back lihgt color based on mode is very helpful when switching modes very fast in a game. There is no guessing or accidentally thinking you are in a different mode for the macros.

Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color Display Feature

• A color GamePanel LCD displays game stats, system information, VOIP communication data, video playback, image slideshows, and many other items, without leaving the game.
• User-selectable character backlighting color lets you personalize the keyboard to better fit with the rest of your computer and gaming equipment.
• Twelve programmable G-keys with three macros per key provide space to program 36 single keypresses or complex macros; use the MR key to record new macros on-the-fly.
• Two high-speed, powered USB 2.0 ports give you the ability to transfer data to and from peripherals – like MP3 players and flash drives – while providing power to charge battery-powered devices.
• Multi-key input allows you to use up to five keys at once to perform multiple complex actions.

Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color Display Overview

When you’re gearing up for battle, you never compromise. Not on your team, not on your weapons, and certainly not on your hardware. If you take your gameplay seriously, you want the Logitech G19 on your side.

Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

Cannot stress how amazing this board is. Its price is a little steep, but that comes from the fact that it has its OWN onboard computer to run the LCD, so that using the screen takes no processing power away from your gaming. Let’s hit up the pros and cons:
Pros:
-Color LCD that runs a variety of programs
-12 Programmable macros keys with an easy-to-use programming software
-Onboard media controls
-Only uses 1 USB port on the back of the computer
-2 powered USB ports for headphones/gamepads/mice
-3 storage slots for different profiles
-”Game” switch which disables windows key
-Otherwise, fully functional keyboard with good, rapid response from keys (a must in gaming)

Cons:
-Expensive
-Requires its own power outlet
-BIG: The screen makes sure this keyboard will be taking up a lot of real estate.
-Limited programs available for LCD screen, making it more of a novelty now than a tool.

Ladies and gentlemen, this board was designed to really support one game. World of Warcraft. Its as if Logitech sat down and made a keyboard that caters just for WoW players. The screen has incredible support for the game (it displays the mini-map), the programmable functions are nice for spell casting and abilities, and you can watch YouTube videos during the griffon rides around the world (the screen has an integral YouTube watcher, though you can’t search for videos. You have to choose from preset playlists). The WoW demo is even included on the driver disk.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t play WoW and love this thing to death for all my other gaming needs. However, if you are a WoW player, buy this thing NOW. Otherwise, if you’re just an FPS player and don’t need the coolest-looking gear in the world, settle for the much cheaper G15.

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

Pros:

-Smooth tracking, even on cloth(im looking at you sidewinder :\)
-Comfortable for claw and palm grips
-FAST scroll wheel
-Custom sensitivities, macros
-Rough textured surface provides great grip

Cons:

-Back/forward buttons not too comfortable. A generic button was placed right between the two which makes it awkward to use.
-Sensitivity controls have awkward placement. Can’t change sensitivity without changing position of entire hand.
-Scroll wheel not “clicky” enough.
-STRANGE HIGH PITCHED NOISE EMITTED FROM MOUSE. Some people can’t hear it, but i can. Similar to the mosquito ringtone. Annoying at times but not too loud.

Conclusion:

Small gripes aside, this is a great mouse. Not too expensive but provides the best tracking and comfort of any mouse I’ve used. Much better than the Sidewinder I am replacing.

Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat (Black with Silver) Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

This seat is AMAZING! After reading all of the reviews on here, trying to decide on which seat I wanted (this one, the classic, or competitor seats). I ordered the Playseats Evolution based on reviews, setup, and price. I took advantage of the FREE 2-day shipping through Amazon Prime, and with a total weight of 55 lbs., I got a sweet deal! Setup takes about 30-minutes, but the seat and frame are solid. This is steel, not flimsy aluminum or tin, steel!

Some reviewers have commented about the adjustment knobs that allow you to adjust the length of the seat from the steering columns and pedals causing scratching and scoring of the paint, and it’s true. But this doesn’t have any effect on anything other than some slight cosmetic blemishing in an area you can’t really see anyway. For me, it’s not even an issue.

I attached the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel to this, using the Velcro to hold the pedals in place, and it makes the gaming experience AMAZING! The combined force feedback of the Driving Force GT wheel with the comfort of the chair makes you really feel like you’re in the game (my 78″ screen with HD projector helps a bit here too). I’ve used this combo on the PS3 for Nascar ’09, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and Formula 1 Championship Edition.

A little hint: If you are going to need to adjust the setting for different users (like your kids) use velco-type cable ties to secure the cables from your wheel and pedals to the columns to allow you to move things around. Tying the cables down cleans up the layout and keeps you from getting tangled-up.

Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat (Black with Silver) Feature

• High-tech chair for racing video games puts you in the middle of the excitement
• Adjustable to almost every game console/computer and steering wheel

We tested the VisionRacer Gaming Seats (VR3′s) we bought head-to-head in our Demonstration Centre over the past 2 months so we can give an honest review of the system and experience, and we had a hard time keeping the staff off them! This ‘gaming revolution’ isn’t just another gaming chair, or gaming rocker – its the high end of gaming systems for the ultimate experience, combining playability and realism. This is a steep change from the focus on graphics, to experience.

To really test the system, we installed the Logitech G25 steering wheel which delivers the ultimate in force feedback, and if you combine that with a good set of speakers to deliver the bass, then you have the ultimate machine. As far a price goes, the VR3 list price is expensive – but at the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Gaming Rockers are fantastic, and a great laugh at the same time – but VisionRacer has the edge. We installed a Samsung 24″ with HDMI – and the screen and visuals matched well with the steering wheel and Logitech speakers. You can go for cheaper screens and speakers, although if you are investing in the VR3 Rig – the price increase is nominal. To get the most out of the system don’t for less than a 24″ LCD Screen and some reasonably priced speakers to get the desired effect – otherwise you’ll be devaluing the investment. It’s times like this where professional consultancy and installation has to be considered to get the most out of the system.

We also found that after several hours playing (seriously we couldn’t get off it), that we weren’t in discomfort. The VisionRacer is sturdy and comfortable, whilst realistic at the same time. Its obvious a lot of effort has gone into the design phase here, providing a solid ergonomically correct chair.

Overall, the car seat combined with gear shift control and force feed back gave this gaming seat the thumbs up by everyone who tested it.

The VisionRacer is currently under testing in a 3 Screen PC configuration running the G25 steering wheel (which is PC & PS3 Compatible). The steering wheel compatibility is important because hardware on the PC can be upgraded more easily than that of PS3′s – although its your choice at the end of the day.

If you have young children, you’ll need a couple of cushions to shift them forward, though in all honesty, this isn’t a game for young children at this expense, its a serious investment for the die hard gamers.

In summary, the VR3 is best of breed as far as gaming seats go. The VisionRacer will do the Racing Game industry, what the Wii did to Console Games…its all good.
