I bought one pretty recently on sale and I could not be happier! It's so perfect for my use, plenty rigid for my use case with Assetto Corsa and BeamNG and the wheel translates some feel to the seat so it may be more communicative than some more expensive rigid setups. My only complaints are that the steering wheel plate doesn't fit my Fanatec CSR (so I have to use the clamp for now) and there's no adapter for a gear shifter. Both problems can be solved with some mild DIY, drill some holes for the wheelbase and hack a 35mm TV pole for $35 to make a shifter mount. Still way less expensive than the next best option!
I've had this chair for 2 years, I sit at 3k rating in Iracing. This chair does the trick perfectly and for a budget. I just got my Fanatec CSL Elite pedals, let's see if this takes me to the next level. Nice review mate.
But the shifter attachment from Playseat isnt really that good. And i personally wouldnt pay 40 Bucks for a piece of metal, but there are pretty good alternative options in the Web.
I use one of these. Much cheaper and does the job perfectly. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pulse-LCD-TV-BRACKET-35mm-Pole-Mount-ST01792-stand-tft-35mm-holder/323113819169?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
I find the pedals being lower relative to your seating position the most comfortable and most precise as far as inputs. I also find it much more enjoyable that way. After all you are not limited by the real life position of pedals and seating that you have to adhere to.
I have this chair for a year. 5 10 215. I taped pool noodles to the arms to snug up the seat. I do push up on the wheel to make it more stable when I’m driving and it matters.
This chair is amazing especially if you have limited space, super easy to fold up and put away. Its really comfortable and sturdy. Definitely a good buy!
@@PaultheSimRacer just purachased it! I also have the same wheel your using. The pedals are different. Did you come from the T3pa pedals? If so, how do they differ from the fanatec pedals your Using? Tanx again
@@Scientists_dont_lie I had the T3pa's - the problem with them is that they don't have a load cell pedal. That won't matter in most games, but if you need to be competitive - then it really matters. The Fanatec pedals have a load cell and now I have a heusinkveld sprint set of pedals - will do some videos soon about how I have them all mounted!
After almost a year i decided to buy me a more stable also yet better adjustable play seat evolution. The chair is really handy but for somebody that is bigger and heavier i couldnt find the perfect sitting position. The chair also struggles to have extra things mounted on like a handbrake or shifter. I order a sequential shifter but i sadly needed to send it back because there was no way it could be mounted on perfectly to make it stable so i hope my new playseat will give a better experience but for somebody living in a small apartment this chair is really chill and relaxt to race in.
Thank you so much for this video. I live in the US, retired and travel full time in a 34 foot RV with my wife. We have VERY limited room and I just got into Sim racing. This video helped me decide to buy one since I can put it away after use. Only thing for me is I have to figure out where to put a monitor. Right now I use a laptop to play and there is no mounting place for it.
If you want to get creative, I have DIYed and shifter mount and also mounted Dayton Audio Tactile Transducer Pucks. The transducers sit under each side of the pedles and on each side of the back of my Play seat Challenge. The seat is durable, very well made and fairly sturdy. The best part it all folds away. Running VR, so my whole rig is a computer, a wireless keyboard and the Play seat All can be packed up and stored in 5 mins. The transducer work very well and sitting in VR with them is pretty nice I gotta say. Great review
Thanks for the helpful review, I am particularly thankful you showed the rigidness/flexibility, seems fine, I can't wait to finally get a rig for my wheel and pedal set, I have tried to make do with furniture set ups since I got the wheelset a lil over a year ago but it just discouraged me from using the wheelset because I was soo uncomfortable and couldn't drive near competitively lol. I know the wheelset has potential though so I can't wait to setup in a rig 👌🏻
Thank you for the review! Very focused and covered important points. One thing I missed in all the reviews I have watched, including this one, is what is the height of your eye level line. This is very important for me, since I pretend to use it in front of my office desk, where the center of my 35" UWide monitor is at around 103 cm (top of the desk is at 74cm). BTW, I am 1,72m.
Getting one of these today. I cant help but think it's expensive, £200 for something that looks very simple. But there doesn't seem to be much, if any competition at all in terms of foldaway setups. They must be making a decent amount on them!
Excellent review! I wanted this thing since it was announced over 6 years ago. I've got the Fanatec Wheel Stand which is ok. I may have to get this for Christmas!
I am trading my heavy rseat for a playseat challenge. Moving from a house to an apartment the storage benefits sold me on this unit probably 5 years ago in anticipation of this day. Thanks for the excellent video.
I was looking at getting this vs the F-GT Lite chair, but I liked EVERYTHING about this chair better than the F-GT Lite. My concern; however, was if it could handle the pedals as I'm potentially getting the Fanatec CSL Elite wheel/pedals with load cell. While watching you drive in your review along with your zip-tie fix, I didn't seem to notice any problem at all, and you have a very similar setup to what I want to get. And to know you can be competitive in it is a nice bonus. Good job btw! 👍 Thanks for the review! It was EXACTLY what I needed to squelch my concerns with the Playseat Challenge! Thank you! 😊
Not only does it work fine with the Fanatec V3's (which are like the CSL Elites) - but I now run Heusinkveld Sprints on it and it's ABSOLUTELY fine :) so yeah you'll be good if you do those cable ties up really tight!
The Playseat Challenge is a perfect beginner seat. Just add some support bars from the mounting plate to the side beams to minimize wobble while Steering.
I found your video after ordering one. I have the wheel stand pro. I didn't really have trouble with it, but just want to try something new I can fold all as one.
Good review, I totally agree with your comments on living in a small apartment and the Playseat Challenge. It is a game changer. Also I am not the smallest human, I weigh in at 90kg and I am 180cm (6ft). The seat is very comfortable and I can easily play for many hours no worries. Another little thing I have discovered - a buttkicker gamer fits perfectly on the lower legs and works a treat! Good video!
Considering you use HM Aeron and Eames Lounge, it's surprising you didn't go with other sim rig that's more 'sophisticated' regardless the space issue. Nice explanation, thanks!
I know its an old vid, but anyone who has one and is interested in hard mounting the pedals. You can use motorcycle handlebar mirror mounts, they line up perfectly with the holes on the g29/g920 and are cheap enough. 10x better than zip ties, no movement at all.
Lads I am telling you a yoga mat is the shit. stole my moms yoga mat to not slip and placed a plastic chair on it. You can say farwell to gliding away from your desk :)
May be the steering wheel feels shoft with the movement? But may be also the vibrations goes to your back too isn't? mmmm.. I'm thinking in buy one of this ones XD

honestly it looks like its not that sturdy. i'd recommend anyone to look at your local pvc prices. and look up a blueprint for a decent PVC rig. get a nice carpet to go underneath and you're good.
Man you can be competitive even without wheel coz there are some alien players that can beat anyone on some sim games haha. Great video will be buying this with my Logitech g29 with F1 addon
I always just unplugged from my PC and power brick. I only had 2 cables. I use the same practice with my collapsible stand. Unless you have a bunch of cables, that might be best practice.
Good review, I'm considering getting one, I have a home made wooden stand which I use in front of the sofa, but want something I can fold away and sit in. It seems to be the best option.
same here, i built a wooden stand to attach to an Ikea Poang chair. Works great but it's quite bulky and a pain in the butt when i want to unmount it because of cables. If i dont unmount it then chair is unusable for "civilians". Needless to say more often than not i dont play
My g29 is messing up. Thinking of just upgrading to the fanatec csl elite. With the cheap pedals they come with. The g29 rn is so expensive and the fanatec is same price as normal
BEWARE the velcro straps aren't that strong and will only hold so much weight. I'm 14.5 stone. Also the pedal base is pretty crap... again the pedals need to be held in place by a velcro strap. I had to buy/make additional velcro straps to hold the two bottom legs to prevent it from collapsing. It can feel pretty flimsy too... it is not sturdy as he says.
I just got the thrustmaster T150 racewheel to go with the playseat and it does the job. Most importantly it folds up hence why i got it.... now... its a little shaky and Im actually thinking of re-enforcing it down the road. Might weld a tube or two so the steering wheel doesnt wobble like it does.. overall Im happy with it
I literally just fitted a Clubsport v2.5 + Formula V2 Rim to mine today! :) It's actually pretty amazing how well the playseat does, I may upload a video of my current setup in the future.
Great review! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm getting a used one today, fingers crossed it's as good as it seems. Edit: if you have thick legs like me, this thing hurts like hell.
Its not a bad chair. But its a bit of a pain to get in and out of it sits very low. Also the angle of the headrest is annoying. It curves inward forcing you to kinda lean your head forward which is unnatural. Its even more annoying if you like to play in VR. Just something to keep in mind. Otherwise it is a solid chair. Also there's no shifter mount for a h shifter so you'll have to jury rig something or find a 3d printed adapter online just be aware most are wobbly.
Is there anyway to attach an h shifter or handbrake you the seat? If not, had anyone found a workaround with say, a small table on the side of anything?
Great review. I'm definitely going to pick up one of these. Would you say the chair is stable enough for F1 games, the feedback being quite substantial?
I have a wheel stand pro and have just bought this today. It was on a deal for only £154 on overclockers. The only issue I'm going to have is I have the thrustmaster shifter. Is there an extension to use this with this seat? Good vid by the way
Fair enough, I did talk about the strap that broke - but to be honest that's all that has failed. It's coming up to 4 years now and it still works fine.
@@PaultheSimRacer OK, great do hear. Mine has arrived today and I'm very happy, too. I've never did sim racing but now I start with G29 and Playseat Challenge. Thanks.
@@derpaufler Good choice, I use that too but just upgraded. Don't at all feel bad that there is a brand new Logitech wheel, because its just the same as the G29, with a few gimmicks that not a lot of games will support anyways.
Alexander Ulv I got mine used for EUR 160,- as I was not okay in spending EUR 270,- for the G29 new. So the new one will be even more expensive at this point. Maybe I will make the switch to a Fanatec Clubsport Wheel sometimes.
Yeah if you really wanted - the pedals removed really easily (there's a simple unclip motion to get them off) - the wheel stand piece can be taken off (although it would be a bit of a pain to keep re fitting it).

that's exactly what I thought @liam webber.
I appreciate this as well. Breath of fresh friggin air.
I totally agree with you, great video Thank you.
I'm competitive in a desk chair on wheels lol. Braking hard pushes me through the wall behind me but that's ok.
I use Velcro straps to hold my chair in place
@@matthewgamble95 hahaha
Unscrew wheels homie or use duct tape or a towel. Had same issue
@@dcease503 definitely would if I was the only user 100%, unfortunately the chair gets moved from room to room.

How did fanatec csl elite pedals workout for you?
Yea any updates on the zip tie install?
For the people saying you can't get a shifter with this, playseat sells a shifter attachment that fits into this
But the shifter attachment from Playseat isnt really that good. And i personally wouldnt pay 40 Bucks for a piece of metal, but there are pretty good alternative options in the Web.
@@luxu6107 Get the Fanatec ClubSport Shifter Mod Mount System - R/H/D MODEL For Playseat Challenge. From ebay.

Best shifter mount is on eBay "XL64R" for RH shifting...or "XL64L" for LH shifting
A lot of 3D Print Shifter mount for about 15 - 30 EUR in Ebay and they work fine...
This was a solid purchase. You can just leave your pedals where they are when you fold it up too

This chair is amazing especially if you have limited space, super easy to fold up and put away. Its really comfortable and sturdy. Definitely a good buy!
This is exactly what I need for VR racing. Simple setup and go.
Thanks for the no bs review, looks like a great option as I too have very little room...subscribed!
Thank you, pretty much exactly what i needed to know. Now to find one locally in Cape Town....
I appreciate this review. Thanks!
Really good review gave me everything I needed for a review just straight to the point
Lmao I was almost gonna buy that other version but glad you said the middle pole was annoying lol definitely gonna buy this version instead thanks
This is the best playseat challenge review i have ever seen.
No doubt now. Im getting this.
I'm still using mine years later - it's great. Stay tuned for my upcoming video on how I modified it to work with direct drive wheels!

I have the exact same one, and modifyed it. I love its simplicity and weight!
Yeah I still use mine a lot!
how did you modified it?
I like your video. Thanks for the review effort.
I have one question: How can you put the seat away when you still have all the cables from the steeringwheel?
I think most wheels have long enough cables to properly route them on the seat.
yeah I just have either cables attached to the seat, or things ready for it to plug into (e.g. a male to female usb extension).
I always just unplugged from my PC and power brick. I only had 2 cables. I use the same practice with my collapsible stand. Unless you have a bunch of cables, that might be best practice.

You use a pretty soft FB setup, My playseat (the steering frame) moves a lot more when I am driving.
Great review
great review
The title mentioned "after two years", but in the video there is no word about the durability during the time. But thank you anyway!
Fair enough, I did talk about the strap that broke - but to be honest that's all that has failed. It's coming up to 4 years now and it still works fine.
@@PaultheSimRacer OK, great do hear. Mine has arrived today and I'm very happy, too. I've never did sim racing but now I start with G29 and Playseat Challenge. Thanks.
@@derpaufler Good choice, I use that too but just upgraded. Don't at all feel bad that there is a brand new Logitech wheel, because its just the same as the G29, with a few gimmicks that not a lot of games will support anyways.
Alexander Ulv I got mine used for EUR 160,- as I was not okay in spending EUR 270,- for the G29 new. So the new one will be even more expensive at this point. Maybe I will make the switch to a Fanatec Clubsport Wheel sometimes.
Thanks for share yours impresions, it's confortable if you spend long hours playing??
Yeah seems fine for me
Yes very comfortable
Very helpful
What´s your opinion about the fanatec clubsport v2 pedals? In 2021 they still a good choice? or not?
Can you remove pedals and wheel stand so it can be used as just a gaming chair aswell as a sim rig
Yeah if you really wanted - the pedals removed really easily (there's a simple unclip motion to get them off) - the wheel stand piece can be taken off (although it would be a bit of a pain to keep re fitting it).
What steeringwheel do you use. I just got a playseat and my steeringwheel dorst fit on the playseat
I used a T300 in this video, then a Fantatec CSW 2.5. But now use a Fantatec CSL DD.
What wheel do you have ?
Fanatec Clubsport v2.5 (although in this video it's a Thrustmaster T300)
