OpenWheeler GEN3 Racing Wheel Simulator Stand Cockpit Black. Compatible with Logitech G923 | G29 | G920 | Thrustmaster | Fanatec Wheels | 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!

Purchased on my wife's account but I wanted to review this myself: I've wanted a home cockpit solution for a long time. Some way to get my peripherals off of my desk and, as a bonus, not wrench my steering wheel or shift knob from its clamp. To not have to hold my flight joystick in my lap and my throttle quadrant sitting on a homemade table. The OpenWheeler fits the bill and then some! I got the basic seat as well as the Civil Aviation configuration and the HOTAS configuration. Also added in the seat risers and the mount for my Buttkicker transducer. Everything came well and safely packaged and labeled at a level I don't think I've experienced before. The bags had each screw set for each possible setup clearly labeled and seperated from the other parts. Bags inside bags had labels. The labels all correspond with a brightly colored, well written instruction manual. There are tools for each part requiring assembly. Real tools that could go in my toolbox. As a bonus, some of the extra configurations required different tools. They were included too. There were tools to deal with 3rd party peripherals! You can literally lock yourself in an isolated room with your peripherals, open the box or boxes and have EVERYTHING you need to assemble anything you purchased without ever leaving that room. Assembly of all of that, by myself, took me about two hours but I was taking my time at it. The only fly in my ointment was trying to attach the seat back to the seat bottom. The holes just didn't want to line up. I eventually put the assembly on its side and was finally able to get everything where it was supposed to be. I think that was more a symptom of trying to do it by myself than any fault with the product, especially considering it hasn't had a single issue at that attachment point since I put it together. I think my only other gripe was with the instructions for assembling the HOTAS. It took me a little bit to realize that I had to remove a base plate from my Warthog throttle quadrant (that I didn't realize was there because I just thought that was the bottom of the throttle) For the assembly itself, the seat is very comfortable and adjustable. Just having the forward/back adjustment alone is awesome. Between the frame adjustments, seat adjustments... Heck, I can even recline the seat back like I do in my car. I've used this for both racing and flying. Its pretty easy to change out the peripherals as the whole thing is modular. Once you tighten it down, its solid as a rock. Racing with a FFB steering wheel, I can crank on the wheel, it can jump and buck all it likes... Solid as a rock. It is a game changer compared to having those things clamped to my desk. For flying, no Force Feedback there but... I can adjust every component to just the right height, just the right distance and, again, solid as a rock. It makes a big difference. The seller is extremely interested in the product and ensuring that the customer is getting outstanding customer support. I reached out to ask about the center mount for the joystick and mentioned that I was looking for another base plate for my joystick so I could switch between HOTAS and center mount easily and not have to disassemble the attachment plates every time. When the seller noticed I had ordered the center mount but had not replied to his answer to my questions, he took it upon himself to include in my order extra base plates as well as some knobs and very detailed instructions on how I could accomplish what I was trying to do. Upon hearing that one of my mounting plates appeared to be tilting and I wasn't sure why, he provided detailed information on what might be wrong, how to fix it and, if I can't fix it, stated he would replace it. The customer service is way above par. As a matter of fact, I can't say if I've ever dealt with a merchant that went that far out of their way to ensure that the customer is happy with their purchase. As I said in the title, I think this is worth the purchase. Not only for a solidly made product that does exactly everything that is advertised and does it very well, but because the customer service itself, the interest of the seller in the customer and the product is, bar none, the best I've ever seen. If you're on the fence, hop off of it. This is an excellent purchase you won't regret.

I purchased this sim chair to go with my logitech wheel/pedals/shifter that I had been using on a coffee table. The same day I ordered it I sent team homeracer a message inquiring about additional parts for my thrustmaster t.flight hotas 4 flight stick and throttle. Within hours they had messaged me back saying they did have plate attachments and as they are a test batch they were shipping the pieces to me for free. I have had the chair for about two weeks now and the flight sim attachments for one week. The racing setup: There is some assembly required. It took about 30 minutes and they included all necessary tools (two regular wrenches and two Allen wrenches). The assembly instructions are very easy to follow and illustrated. They also include instructions for mounting your wheel/pedals/shifter with different instructions for different brands. All the small parts were bagged and labeled very clearly with a letter and what they were for. Once the chair is assembled it is very adjustable. Rubber coated knobs allow you to adjust: height and depth of steering column, height and width of shifter mount, depth of pedals. You can also adjust the seat itself just like a real car seat (depth and backrest angle). Everything is very sturdy. The shifter pedals and steering wheel all feel like they are part of the chair (no wiggle), and the chair itself does not rock at all while playing. While it is fairly heavy due to the solid materials (all metal) it is also easy to move thanks to the lockable wheels under the pedal plate. The chair itself is very comfortable. It contours and supports your body well. The amount of adjustability means it can fit a wide range of body types and sizes (I'm 6'00" and 250 lbs). The fabric feels durable and the padding has not degraded at all during two weeks of heavy use. I barely used my $300 racing sim controllers for over a year when I tried attaching them to my coffee table. Now with this chair I can't get enough of them. Flight setup. As I already had the chair setup their was minimal assembly for this and again they included clear instructions and all necessary tools. They even let me know ahead of time that with my flight sticks (t.flight hotas 4) that I would have to extend the cord in order to get the side by side arrangement I wanted. Again they included multiple instructions and parts to mount different brands of flight sticks. The plates are sturdy enough that hard mounting the controls is not necessary though. They also included optional spacers to slightly raise and tilt the seat for flight sim. Overall: This greatly enhances the level of immersion you get from your sim experience. The assembly is easy and everything is provided. Comfort is top notch and allows for sim sessions of several hours without aches or cramps. Considering the price you could pay for something very similar this chair is a steal. I cannot overstate how impressed I am with the product and the company. Five stars on everything.

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 purchased this simulator after a very extensive amount of time researching and reading about different setups. I spent 3 months looking around for the best setup for my budget and I decided on this cockpit. I must say after emailing ahead and speaking with customer service about a few different things including the length and size for my daughter who is 6 years old they informed me that they made a stubby plate mount for the steering so she could reach it better as well as an extra cushion pillow. I chose the red seat and purchased a set of the 4 point harness belts at the same time. During this purchase they threw in the stubby adapter and pillow cushion free of charge with free shipping. Getting into the quality of this rig and setup.. absolutely amazing quality. If your questioning the stability and design it’s very sturdy and setup perfect for some gear grabbing and racing. The frame itself is heavy duty and the seat is very nice! It’s a real seat that fully tilts back and forth as well as moves forward and back on a rail. The whole cockpit is setup to be fully adjustable to your heights and needs. I’ve spent Atleast 6 hours straight in the seat of playtime before writing this review and must say the seat is very comfortable!! I am very glad I made this decision on this purchase. I don’t usually write reviews but this one is a must! If your looking for a nice simulator+seat and don’t want to break the bank then this is the one. It’s easy to move and not to heavy, also has a set of wheels on the front bottom under the pedal mount so you can maneuver it around much easier. Speaking of pedal mount. Very sturdy and does not move or bend when pushing on the pedals. I had this thing put together in about 20 mins. The instructions are very thorough and easy to follow and the seat comes with the lower rail already mounted on so it makes it quick and easy. Also the setup comes with all the tools and mounting bolts needed to put the whole thing together as well as all the M6 bolts to mount your wheel,pedals and shifter. Also comes with extras for whichever wheel,pedal,shifter you decide to go with. Even comes with some nice wrenches to go with it. The 4 point harness setup I purchased with this went together quick and easy, instructions for these were also very easy to follow and the quality is great! I mounted a G920 Logitech wheel and pedals with the shifter all at once. Everything went together very smooth and lined up perfectly. There are pre drilled holes for every setup you could want. I’m very happy with my purchase and if your considering getting into a racing sim for this price you cannot go wrong!! Amazing quality and amazing customer service with immediate response with any questions!!

I did a bit of research before buying this seat and a lot of reviewers were saying this one is great for the price. My entire setup is entry level, what I have is: Logitech G923 wheel Logitech G923 pedals w/ AXC truebrake mod Logitech Shifter Meta Quest 2 w/ official link cable Customer Service: 5/5 I have had to contact customer service twice. I asked them about the Buttkicker mount over the phone, I didn't catch the guy's name but he was extremely helpful. I ended up ordering the mount based on what he explained to me. The other time I had to contact the company was the seat back had a small snag in it. I'm assuming this happened in shipping because the QA on everything else from these guys is excellent. The box wasn't in perfect shape when it was dropped off, and was sitting on it's side. It's very possible the shippers caused this problem. I contacted the company and explained the issue, they shipped me a new seat back - no hassle at all. THIS COMPANY IS GREAT! Ergonomics: 4.5 / 5 I am able to get the shifter, pedals and wheel to a position that feels nice for me. I am a little taller than 6ft and 260ish lb. The seat feels good, but could use more lower back support. I will be trying a pillow I have lying around the house before I order the pillow that goes w/ this seat. The bottom clamps on the Logitech wheel do impact my knees sometimes - which pulls my immersion out of the VR headset and back into the real world. This is fixed slightly by adjusting the way I move my legs. The real fix is I need to dig into the wheel and remove the clamps as a long term fix. This is not a major issue and the impact rarely happens now that I am used to how I need to sit. I drive a Miata IRL and I have better legroom in this rig than the Miata. Build Quality: 5/5 The rig is well put together and once you tighten down all the adjustments it is extremely solid. The seat is nicely made, feels sturdy. The pedal plate is very solid - I have the AXC truebrake mod which requires more force than stock Logitech pedals. I get no plate flex at all, the Logitech pedal case flexes and groans more than the rig does. I am planning to get into VR flight sims next, this seat is what I will use. I will order the alternate pieces to convert this to flight sim. If I had the space I would just buy a second seat dedicated for a flight sim setup - the setup is that good! Love this company, very glad I gave them a chance - they have a customer forever!

This is a perfect example of how you can have low cost manufacturing and have a high quality end product! The assembly instructions were very easy to follow (although I wish they used a normal font) and the labeling for the various packages were clear and well done. The inclusion of all tools necessary saved me from running around finding the right hex wrench size and the right size crescent wrench. Everything was nicely packaged in a cloth zippered bag. It really felt like a quality product. It's clear that OpenWheeler takes their quality seriously too as all the parts are separately bubble wrapped and they appear to have wrapped the parts then done some minor assembly for things like the seat and wheel tray since the odd parts that stick our have perfect size cutouts in the bubble wrap. There was no damage to my packaging due to the care they planned and packed with and there were no blemishes in the black finish or on the seat cover, everything was perfect! This is a well thought out product in packaging and assembly. the good news is the seat is also very sturdy when playing and the adjustability of the seat (front/back and recline), the positioning of the wheel (front/back and height) and the positioning of the pedals (front/back) allow you to really dial in a comfortable setup. I don't have too much time on this seat yet, but I can't see any reason anyone would ever be uncomfortable using it. The materials all appear to be solid, the metal frame is robust without being bulky and the welds that hold the screws in place are all clean and nicely painted. There is no excessive flex and everything tightens up nicely, usially with 2 lock screws to ensure things stay firmly in place. The wheels on the bottom of the pedal holder are a nice and thoughtful addition to making it easier to move around. This is clearly a seat designed by the users and covers everything you could think of. I think the only thing the seat is missing is a cable handling system for the wheel, shifter and pedals. Other than that, this is a great addition to a gaming setup. I'm hoping

ordered on the 15th standard free shipping, it arrived on the 18th! this item is very sturdy, built of quality materials, assembly was a breeze, (the only negative issue I found is that there are no knobs or hardware to secure the rollers in the back tubes to keep them from sliding in and out when your moving it, not a giant issue but seemed odd because there are threaded areas to do so) seat is very comfortable (durable? time will tell) . I would recommend the lumbar pillow or your own small pillow, this cockpit is adjustable in every way so whether your short or tall there seemed to be and endless amount of ways to adjust it to make it work, i personally am vertically challenged at 5'4" . I found no wobble issues at all, my thrustmaster tx mounted up perfectly as well as the pedals, all the hardware and tools were supplied, I did order the riser kit at the same time (good move) without the riser kit it sits directly on the ground and unless you like to do combat rolls every time you get up then this kit is a MUST, my TV sits high so i actually added 4x4`s underneath the frame, i was able to mount them with no mods to the frame, this brought it up an additional 3.5" which is great, and the stability is still there, and you can still raise it up to roll it around, if someone would like to see the pictures I would be happy to take some. Time is always the true judge of a product, and normally I wait a couple of months before reviewing a product, but as solid as this thing is built I can foresee no issues. Happy Driving to all my fellow sim driving freaks, remember "never drink and drive" unless of course your in sim seat, and of age (-
