Product Information

If you dont have much budget left and you can only afford a budget rig, instead of buying brand new you may think of purchasing used instead which may get you a better quality rig for the same price range. Console/PC Compatibility PC, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Wii, XBox, Xbox 360, Xbox One It’s comfortable, and there are enough smart design touches to make it suitable for moderately heavy wheel setups, up to at least the Thrustmaster T818 direct drive wheelbase.

The Playseat Challenge is a great piece of equipment. It accomplishes what it set out to do and it does it well. However, if you’re in the market for a beginner sim racing rig, there are a few Playseat Challenge alternatives to be aware of. People are using CSW 2.5 with Challenge without problems. They both, CSW and DD have similar max torque.There was a considerable amount of collaboration on this product to make the Challenge X more functional, comfortable and overall, a better racing experience, than traditional desktop gaming chairs. During that process our teams focused on three key areas of a sim racing chair and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.” said Jim Hoey, head of simulation marketing at Logitech G. It takes no effort to do. There's nothing more than a simple scissor action that folds the whole thing together.

The Challenge is Playseat’s most approachable and practical racing seat for the average gamer. It’s the cheapest in the line-up too. The main issue that can come from the Playseat Evolution is a product of its compact design. The central single-pylon wheelstand can make things difficult for users of a three-pedal solution, as they might feel like they are compromising on their brake usage if they are trying to navigate a metal pole that is lined up with their central brake pedal. As a result, this is most suitable for users who are running with just two pedals. PRO SIMRIG PSR3 It’s designed to stop you getting sweaty, although I’d recommend the Alcantara version if you want a more luxurious feel. In either, you get racing seat-like cut-outs towards the top of the seat, which look the part and are cushioned.
