OpenWheeler GEN3 Racing Wheel Stand Cockpit Black on Black | Fits All Logitech G923 | G29 | G920 | Thrustmaster | Fanatec Wheels | Compatible with Xbox One, PS4, PC Platforms

Short version: this seat is well-built, sturdy, easy to assemble and highly customizable. The customer service is incredible, truly above and beyond. I could not be happier with the purchase. So if you're going to buy a rig, buy this one. Also, if you're trying to decide whether you need a rig, allow me to offer this advice: you need a rig. Just buy this; you will not regret it.Longer version: I have now had this rig about 18 months. I bought it for both driving and flying in Virtual Reality using a Vive Index. For cars I use pretty high end Fanatec wheel/shifter/pedals, and for planes I use a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS with Logitech pedals. I wanted a rig that I could switch in between those two modes without too much trouble. I googled heavily and looked at over a dozen options, including a few that were over $1000. Few of them seemed setup well for both activities, and even those that were seemed like they would be painful to switch. This one had a smart design and great reviews, so I gave it a shot. I have been thoroughly impressed ever since.First, the kit: it's perfect. With the extension (more on that in a bit) it's perfectly positioned for both activities. The driving pedals/wheel attach with one knob; the flight pedals use that same attachment and the HOTAS (and gearshift on the rare occasions I use it) go on the arms of the chair with two knobs each. I can switch between driving and flying in about 2-3 minutes, and whichever set I'm not using fits easily in a hallway coat closet. Whichever setup I'm in, it's completely rock-solid. The steering wheel was decently solid even before they sent me an improved attachment plate (again, more below) for free. There are also multiple positions for the HOTAS (center stick/side stick) and shifter (left/right). The chair is comfortable, has adjustable tilt, and the position of the wheel and pedals are independently adjustable. Putting it all together would have been straightforward even without the clear instructions with color photographs; with those instructions it's impossible to mess up. They even included a "real" wrench...like one I'd find in my toolbox, not the disposable stamped-metal junk typically included in such contexts. If I was forced, under enhanced interrogation, to find a complaint, I would ask for more lumbar support. But so far I have not been forced to do that (and I have a separate lumbar cushion), so I have no complaints.Now, as to customer service: these guys are incredible! Several reviews with similar praise were definitely a factor in my decision, but even knowing that I've been blown away. At the time of my purchase, the company said a height extension kit was "coming soon" and a couple reviewers indicated they had been sent beta kits for testing. It worked fine without the extension, but I liked the idea of being 6" higher (especially for flying) so I emailed asking about said kit. The company got back to me the same day with a friendly email clearly written by an actual human being; he said that they had finalized the kit (it was no longer in beta) and would be selling it soon....but he'd just go ahead and send me one for free. When it arrived it installed easily, and it's a big improvement when flying. I assume they are now selling it; if you're going to use this for flying I highly recommend getting it, though for driving it's about the same either way. In any case, I would gladly have paid the asking price for it, and I found just sending it over for free impressive.So having already started an email conversation because of the extension, a few weeks into using the rig I made a couple of suggestions for future purchasers, such as either replacing a couple of allen keys with knobs or just including a few more of each. He wrote back and said it was a good idea, and then just sent me a bag of extra allens and knobs! Then at some point he wrote me to say they had redesigned the steering wheel attachment to be less resistant to inadvertent tilt changes; he promptly sent the updated one over for free. The old one hadn't caused me much trouble, but it did need to be tightened down awful hard; the new one is much better, and presumably is now included by default. So that makes three separate items that these nice folks just packaged up and sent to me, for free, voluntarily. Two of them I didn't even request. That's just amazing. Possibly the most impressive customer service I have ever seen.If you couldn't tell by the equipment I attach to this rig, I'm fairly hardcore about this sort of thing. I was willing to spend four digits if I needed to, and looked at some options in that range. If this chair cost $1200, I would still say it's worth it. No kidding. But the good news is, it's not! It's a third of that! You can't afford not to buy it!You're still reading this? It's written like Faulkner for Christ's sake! Quit reading and go buy this rig!

Buen asiento, de lo mejor que se puede conseguir, siento que el soporte del volante está un poco desviado en relación al centro del asiento y estorba un poco en las rodillas, se ensambla muy fácil y es de materiales muy resistentes, mi calificación es por los defectos ya mencionados en relación a lo que he pagado por el, de lo cual prácticamente la mitad fueron impuestos.

I've been eyeing a good simulator seat for a while now, pulled the trigger on this one at the beginning of April and I am GLAD I did. Firstly, the seller (HomeRacing), fulfilled my order much faster than anticipated - my original date range for delivery was the 14th through the 24th of April (ordered on the 2nd) but they had it shipped out by Monday the 5th and made it by the 9th. I actually missed the first delivery on the 8th because I wasn't expecting it and slept through FedEx at my door!The product itself does require a fair bit of assembly, but it comes with all of the tools and instructions you will need - wrenches, allen keys, etc. All of the various nuts, bolts, washers, and other hardware come in small bags that are clearly labeled as to where they should go. It may be a little overwhelming when you first open the box, but follow the instruction booklet and you should have it ready within a few hours. The only issue I had with assembly is that sometimes it isn't clear what order you should place washers on bolts, etc, but other than that it was a fairly easy assembly.Another small issue is with the set of rolling wheels that attach to the back of the seat frame, they could stand to be slightly larger in diameter to help the back rails clear the carpet when rolling the seat from my office where it is stored when not in use, to my living room where it is used in tandem with my VR play area. I say this not to complain, but just to offer a small critique on how the product could be improved. To me it is still well worth it.I purchased the flight sim configurations to come with it - namely config #1 and config #4 as well as the seat risers. It more or less matches the virtual seat I see when playing Elite: Dangerous in VR, and having a solid platform on which to mount my HOTAS makes a world of difference. The seat is comfortable and solid, and great for long play periods - as someone who struggles with back pain having this has made a difference! I will probably end up ordering the lumbar and neck pillows as well as the 4-point harness (not that I need it but it would add to immersion when flying). The frame is heavy but solid and it does not feel flimsy at all.Finally, a word to the versatility of this product - this is meant to be a one-stop solution to all your sim seat needs, whether you're looking for a commercial aviation setup, a stick jockey like myself, or a tires-to-the-pavement racer. I've never played racing games before but now I am looking into getting a steering wheel and shifter setup to have with the original configuration. The plates and attachments are designed to be quickly removed and swapped out, so you can rapidly reconfigure from wheel-shifter-car pedals to stick-throttle-rudder pedals, so you can go from playing Forza or Grand Turismo to Elite: Dangerous, Ace Combat, or Microsoft Flight Sim within minutes.All together this product is well worth the money, its versatility will make it useful for many different games and it has solid construction that feels like it will last for years. Once I pay it off I'm going to be looking to upgrade to additional controllers such as a VKB/Virpil flight stick as well as some racing controllers, but this product will make a great base for my future sim needs.

This a very sturdy entry level race platform. It was easy to assemble and came with all tools and hardware. It's very adjustable and also easy to move around if you need too. I used it with a VR headset most of the time, but the included back rollers make it easy to move in front of my TV for Xbox play. I removed one star from the review because I think it should have come with lift kit. I really did not find it easy to get in and out of being right on the ground with a center mount wheel. Also, I think longer sessions were not good for my admittedly older back. The lift kit corrected both issues. It also gives the chair a natural tilt which makes it really comfortable. I do recommend this seat as a very good entry into the simulation racing. I use it with a logitech 920 wheel and pedals and it's rock solid. I feel like an upgrade to a belt drive or lower end direct drive would be fine with this seat as well. I think this will serve me well for years.

I can't sing the praises of this company highly enough. With the DD conversion kit, this thing is rock solid at high FFB levels. And whenever I have a small issue, the customer service is above and beyond what I expected. Great rig, great business
