Playseats Evolution Seat review

Playing can be a lot of fun, especially if you like racing games. When you go to the arcade and play a racing game, they have these really comfortable seats that make you feel like you’re in a car. If you want this same experience at home, you can consider the Playseats Evolution seat.

This seat provides you with a top brand business that started in the late 90s. Its factory was located in Holland, but it moved to China for cheaper manufacturing in 2002. The founder of the company is Dr. Fernando Smit, a Racing fanatic who has actually raced in more than just simulators. He used his vast experience to create the simulator racing seat that you can buy for just over $ 300.

The seat, as mentioned, looks a lot like an arcade racing game seat with a special design to make it feel like you are in a car. The front of the seat has a platform for the racing pedals and a bracket for the steering wheel. Under the seat there is a storage area for your game consoles and other accessories, helping you keep your home clean when you are not gaming. The footrest can be modified to fit most players as it is adjustable. The seat measures 52.1 x 19.7 x 38.6 inches.

More details include that the seat will work with most game consoles and racing video games. You have adjustable knobs that help you move the platform where you need it. The construction is also made of steel, which keeps it of high quality and also stable on the floor.

The gaming seat will work with PC, PlayStation 2, Play Station, Xbox, and GameCube. Children over 8 years old can use the seat. Anyone younger may have trouble reaching the pedals or the steering wheel. The platform and seat are all that comes with the product. You have to buy the steering wheel and pedals separately from a place like Logitech. This means that the real downside to the racing seat is cost and the need for additional accessories.

Despite the cost of the chair and the need for accessories, it is well made and will remain stable on the floor. Roughhousing will damage it, but other than that, it will hold up for years of gameplay and give you a real car feel as you play.

When you buy the Playseats Evolution seat, you will have a few things to put together. The metal box with platform must be attached to the seat. During this process, you need to make sure that the screws are finger tight to avoid damage. You will also want a friend to help you adjust the platform to your length for comfort. If you measure the length while sitting, you can even make sure that you can get comfortable again, even after someone else wears it. Other players should do the same to help speed up your game, especially if you take a lot of turns.
