I use 4x mini LFE's with a 1000w bass amp with DSP. Had them for over 6 years now and they still run great. Once you get them, you always notice when they're not on, everyone needs these in their life!
i had the Gamer2 took it back and picked up the Pro model online, and wow big difference... the Pro has much more of a thump/bass and doesnt overheat and cut off like the Gamer2 use to do when it got to warm, this Pro model doesnt get to warm when playing and its a better clearer kick compared to the gamer2.. its like having a cheap subwoofer over a higher quality expensive sub... in my experience the Pro is a far!! better buttkicker compared to the Gamer2 when it comes to how much detail and thump you get with the Pro
I dont even play racing sim games, but your videos are high quality and interesting. Have you had a chance to try the buttkicker on a non-supported game to see how it performs without a specific profile?
This is going to sound silly but I wish they'd of made their pro model gold in color. I feel like it really would have helped differentiate it from the other models from a visual standpoint.
The mount cracked on my gamer 2, and I could hear a bit of a rattle so I opened it up and put some foam in at top, and wrapped the mount with electrical tape to tighten it up, needless to say I needed an upgrade. The pro is coming today curious how much stronger it is.
have you posted that video yet between SimShaker and Hapi-connect for DCS? I just ordered a Buttkikker pro and am not sure what's the best software to use as a lot of people are saying Hapti-connect isn't the best for DCS
Thanks for making this detailed comparison of different models. How would you say the noise level creates by these devices for someone who has young family at home. Would anyone in nearby rooms feel/heard the vibrations? Thank you
It does depend on the mounting method you use, but for the most part they are pretty quiet. You can turn them right down as well, especially if you mount them directly to the seat bracket.
you say i don't want the pro but that makes me want to put the pro on my office chair more to use it for shooter I wish I could figure out how to get controller vibration feedback or custom gun recoil feedback stuff pumped through there like you get with the car games.
@@player1simgear thank you for your advice, I'm new about this topic and just wondering how buttckicker works if I have a sorround system like logitech z906 (it already has an amplifier inside self), can they work together?
Great video thanks. Can you use the HF8 at the same time? Is it possible via a single software solution? Lastly is there any chance you could resell Andres's software at a markup as it seems we are not allowed to purchase it internationally anymore?
Hello, nice video. Is it really necessary to connect the Buttkicker to the Simhub or other software, Is it possible to just connect it at a amp with a LFE line out level (RCA) to the buttkicker amp? thanks in advance!
Would the Pro version be overkill? For the GT Omega ART Sim RIg and also would it fit under the seat, Just have no dimension of it to work from.. An if it is overkill would it be ok just to turn it down from the Amp.

Newbie here, what are mini LFEs
did u do diy buttkicker?
You didn't mention the overheating issue with the Gamer 2. Hope they have fixed that in the new ones...
Yep no problems on that front at all.
Cheers. Looking forward to the simshaker comparison. I feel like Andre absoutely nails the bottled effects.
Thanks mate! Will do, will also dive into the HF8 in an upcoming vid and compare that too

Haha not a bad call, though it might look odd on some rigs!
You could always paint 🎨 it. To match your rig. If you want to add a splash 💦 of color.

How do you find it since the upgrade?
Do you think a Buttkicker is needed when you already have motion SIM rig?
I say definitely. There are details that your motion platform is not giving you. A lot of details. It’ll push everything over the top for you.
The music is way too loud compared to your voice.
Thanks yeah I thought so too once it went live. :-(
@@player1simgear It's okay, it happens! Thanks for making the video. The information was good.

Hey man, great video, just question, which is better for nlr fgt cockpit?
Thanks mate! I'd go the plus for sure, the Pro would be overkill.

@@Marcus-09 Yes no worries at all, you can set your PC to dual output the sound signal.

Hi, will all the plugins work for f1 2023 but for ps5?
Thanks for the review! Would you pick the Sim Racing Studio U-Shake6 over these Buttkickers?
Will buttkicker plus work on ps5 console ?
Yes with software on a pc
is a rseat P1 a small or medium rig ?
can i use the new HaptiConnect software with the old butckiker gamer2?
Yes, but the functionality is very limited as the old amps don't allow for the usb connection
Support for f1 23?

Went onto the website. Do you guys still sell the old Gamer 2 or just the new versions? Cheers
Just the new ones! The older Gamer2's are not being produced any more.
mate gamer 2 still good? im about buying used one for 130usd @@player1simgear

If you just want one buttkicker the PLUS is more then enough to shake your whole appartment :D
Did you not check your video before uploading it'? Ridiculous loud background sound.
Do they work in xbox
Not really, you can make it thump along with the bass, but xbox wont give the telemetry outputs that add the real value to the experience.
just sold the gamer 2, new one isw way superior!
