Playseat Challenge X - Logitech G Edition Sim Racing Cockpit

This seat is more comfortable than I thought, it is very durable and doesn't take long to assemble. The mount for the wheel base is meant for the lower nm wheels, but I use this with an 8nm fanatec and its still good and sturdy from moving sideways. Its a bit flimsy moving it back and forth but you dont really do that with a wheel. The downside is that its a bit on the pricey side but after using it for a few months, its still great and I would recommend to other gamers. The best thing about this product is that I can fold it and then store it in the corner of my room when not in use and it doesn't take up too much space! Read more

This chair works perfectly with my Logitech G920 and is a huge improvement for more precise driving and braking. The assembly was pretty straightforward and only took 15 minutes or so. Since it's the G edition, the wheel, pedal and shifter fits almost perfectly, except one minor issue: when folding, the shifter somehow obstructs the tube and prevents the wheel from tilting further. As a result, I can't fold the chair to the upright position and hence the pedal is blocked. It appears my shifter has an additional piece for supporting when the shifter is mounted to a desk, which is not shown in Logitech's official website. I'm guessing this could be a later version with improvements. I inspected and realized that piece can be easily removed by removing the four screws (highlighted in the last picture). Once removed, the chair can be folded without any issue. The build quality of the chair is great in my opinion. It also looks good and is easy to adjust. The wheel support wiggles slightly when shifting due to its design for easy entry/exit, which I can live with. There's aftermarket reinforcement mod to solve this issue, but they are likely to disable the easy entry/exit feature, so I probably won't consider it. Read more

This chair is pretty comfortable and works well for a racing setup. Pros: - Affordable (as far as racing setups go) - Comfortable -Easy to fold up and move out of the way. Cons: -Has adjustable heights, but none of them feel quite right. -The threaded bolts that come with the chair for attaching the steering wheel are too short. I was beyond frustrated trying to attach my G29 steering wheel. I just happened to have a long enough bolt in the same diameter in my garage that worked. Read more

For the price its a great way to go. Its very adjustable and works well. It is designed for carpet. If you want to use it on hardwood, or a slick floor I would suggest you buy a ratchet strap and just put one across the front and rear legs to hold them at the adjustment you want. I didn't know this and when I sat in it the first time it collapsed after a few minutes. I am not obese, I weigh 76Kg, but that was enough to cause the adjustment splines to slip. I tried tightening them way too much to overcome this, but no dice. One ratchet strap to hold the legs in position manually and the thing is totally solid now, on any type of flooring. Pedal box mount has lots of adjustment for any size legs, wheel mount is good. It is kind of tricky to mount a shifter, but isn't too bad. If you don't mind the shifter being right next to the wheel, then you're in luck and don't need any additional hardware. If you want the shifter to be down more to your side for a realistic street car feel, you will need to buy an additional mount or build one. The wheel mount lifts up and to the side to let you in and out, there is a chintzy plastic latch to secure it. It works fine, just don't be rough with it. I have not had issue. Be careful, you can pinch yourself if in a hurry and clumsy. It's comfortable and I have had no issue endurance racing in GT7 in it. I recommend this for anyone wanting to sim race on a budget.

Coming from having my wheel and pedals installed on a desk and floor, I must say that this cockpit is a must for anyone wanting to do sim racing either as a hobby or a budget pro setup. My PC is in a small room so having the folding feature was a must for me. I used to sit on a regular chair and my back was hurting after a few minutes of playing. This seat definitely takes makes it more comfortable to race for hours. I use it with a Logitech G920 set. The seat offers several driving positions but only a handful are usable with the G920. If I want it higher at a level of 5, for example, the wheel is too close to me and even though there are holes to move the wheel back, it is not possible because you can't screw the shifter holder, plus the front claws are in the way so you can't line up the holes for the screws. Moving the cockpit for storage is easy since it is not too big nor too heavy. It takes only 2 minutes to fold and move it aside. When racing there is only minimal play of the wheel stand, not enough to be annoying or distracting. I do wish that Logitech had thought of a way to make the wheel stand riser to move either to the left or the right, since the way my room is setup I have a wall to the right, which is the only way to enter the cockpit with the riser open. Other than that, I love this cockpit and it has brought a much needed improvement to my racing setup. Read more

The media could not be loaded. It looked great itself and I was very excited to try this! Instructions was simple! But the quality and functionality itself is very disappointing and definitely not worth the money! Although them deciding to go folding chair style was an excellent way to save storage but using the handles as a way to hold the chair in place just wasn’t it! Just as I sat in the chair, it kept making popping noises as it loses sturdiness on its own to the point it dropped all the way to the lowest level pretty much the bar hitting my knees and making me experience quite the discomfort! I checked the weight limit and it was said to handle up to 360lbs! I’m at 260lbs so I know that could be the issue unless they’re misleading us! I spent hours trying to trouble shoot and even asked YouTubers that was reviewing this especially at 5 stars and yet not any of them could help! So just decided to return this because ain’t no way I could let my $285 go to waste! Read more
