Playseat Evolution - Black (EU)

The playseat Project Cars is an amazing piece of kit good for any die hard fan of racing sims. I only had it for a bit but, this seat screams quality from the metal frame to the comfy chair. Can be adjusted to match anyone's build so, this was the perfect christmas gift for me. The installation was easy and took less than an hour to assemble. Slight niggle is that the screw holes where you mount the pedals on the Logitech G29 set, did not match properly so, had to modify it but, the reason why i gave it five stars is because the rest of the seat is perfect for any gamer who is into realistic racing sims.

This is a really good piece of kit. Easy to put together and feels very solid. It has multiple position setup - you can slide the seat further or closer to the pedals. You can slide the wheel away from you. The pedal unit has a tilt function so you can have them then tilted up towards you or flatter if you prefer. It comes with some very string sticky back Velcro so holds my wheel and pedals firmly in place. The mounts for wheel and pedal come with a variety of drill holes, so is possible to bolt your controls in place if that is an option on your setup. It has a nice bucket seat feel and good lumber support. It is very low, which took a bit of getting used to. I managed to tilt my monitor screen down and now feels very realistic. It's added a new level of realism to me playing F1 2020 game. Love it!

Lovely comfortable seat. A little on the small side. I am 6'1 and the seat only goes up to my neck. Also the structure only allows you to break left footed which is a bit of a design flaw.

As above. Easy for one person to put it together, and it comes with a metric ton of velcro and cable ties to assist with cable management. I've paired mine with a Logitech G920 wheel. I personally find the rail too far away from me to be completely comfortable - If I leant fully back into the chair I'd be stretching my arms to reach. As it stands, my head is about 8 inches from the back of the chair when I'm in a driving position. A plus about the rail is that it doesn't get in the way of your legs, so left-foot braking is possible. There's no wobble to the entire construction; it's solid and sturdy. It's comfortable, too, but if you need extra lumbar support factor this in, as the seat has none. The pedal stand doesn't fit into the G920 pedals very well - you can either screw in the bottom or top as there's a 2-4mm difference between where the holes actually are and where Playseat has put them. Initially I screwed them in at the top, but this caused them to lift slightly under heavy braking (and anyone with a G920 can attest to how hard you have to push that bl**dy brake pedal). Screwing them in at the bottom alleviated this issue entirely. The wheel mount itself is a bit strange as well - it requires you to screw it together before mounting the wheel, but when you do it conceals the G920's own screwholes to mount that securely to the stand. I got around this by using the wheel to clamp the entire thing together, but it means that discounting the wheel itself, the mount is only held together with 2 out of 4 screws. There's no option to adjust the tilt of the wheel, but it feels fine. You also can't move it forward and back without moving it up and down, but once it's adjusted, it clamps very tightly and will not move. The pedal distance is easy to adjust, and locks just as securely. Not even the legendary G920 brake pedal is enough to push them away. The entire assembly collapses down to surprisingly small area - about half the height of an Ikea Billy bookcase and a similar width, but a little deeper. Overall, solid purchase that means I'm finally getting use out of a decent wheel. It's a bit of a heavy lump to move about, but I'd rather it be heavy to shift at the beginning and end of the session than be moving constantly while I'm using it.

Really not designed for taller people. I'm 6'5 and could not comfy. The support bar in the middle just gets in the way. There's also a LOT of movement. Pedal board flexs under braking so much I couldn't brake fully. Centre super/wheel mount moves all over the place. Sending back and buying the GT Omega ART cockpit

What a shame !! I bought this gaming chair for Christmas, for my son who has an Xbox One - I did all the research, read up on all the product details to triple make sure it was compatible for the Xbox One, it even says it on the box..... *****It is absolutely NOT compatible with the Xbox One****** I bought it together with Xbox One "Hori RWO Racing Wheel Overdrive"(& pedals) None of the pre-drilled holes fit RWO steering wheel / pedals - it comes with various sizes of Velcro and cable ties, so you literally have to do a botch job to assemble it - what's more the cable ties are white so it looks like a 6 year old has strapped a load of bits together to make a go-kart. We had to go out and get black cable ties so it would'nt look so cheap. The one good thing about it is that, on its own, it's very well made and sturdy - so I'm sure it would be fantastic for the correct gaming equipment - just NOT the Xbox One

Very well made and great value ... However for me the steering wheel height was far to low... To make wheel height higher had to move a lot closer to seat . Hence no room , would suit smaller person ....otherwise very good...

I was a little nervous ordering it after reading so much negative feedback on here. The instructions are indeed very sparse and miss many crucial points, hence no doubt the problems others have faced. The side mounts for controllers for instance, are very firm, yet easily and cleverly adjustable when assembled perfectly, but easy to get wrong with the vague instructions. Their sliding "t-bar" design means that the clamping bolts have to be the perfect length, or they bottom out before tightening, or they do not have enough thread to bite into. When adjusted perfectly with additional washers, the grip very strongly. Also, the threaded bars that they screw into have a shallow concave shape one side, which prevent any rocking when put in the right way round. Also, the seat itself reclines as well as folds, a great advantage over other Playseats that I've tried. I mounted it on castors, which brings the seat height to just over 500mm, perfect for my screens.
