I had the Gamer 2 for about a year now and a few days ago I replaced it for the Gamer Pro 150w version and damn that thing kicks harder and you feel a much heavier thump in games compared to the small kick i felt with the Gamer 2.. I say the Pro is well worth it after coming from the Gamer 2
Just a tip when using on console, i connect mine threw my AV reciver via sub pre out with the includded buttkicker cables, disable your crossover by setting all speakers to large assuming you have decent speakers and disable extra bass when you do this only LFE signals are sent to the buttkicker that filters out alot un needed vibrations, in GT7 on PS5 for example you will only feel road surface, gear changes, and rumble strips on the side of curbs, music will not trigger the buttkicker unless you turn extra bass on.
Would you be so kind as to explain this step by step or do a videotutorial explaining it? I currently use a buttkicker gamer 2 with an adapter. It would be awesome to get rid off the rpm/engine noise in GT7. I've looked all around but I couldn't find a solution for consoles that sounds as neat as yours
@@rauljimenez414 ill see what i can do but it really depends on what kind sound system you have, sounds bars and most AIO home theater in box prolly wont work
@@rauljimenez414 yea sorry man, soundbars will not work, they have very small speakers with hard baked in crossovers, im not even sure how you can hook up a buttkicker to a soundbar
For those wondering- having used hapticonnect and sim hub for iracing with a buttkicker, hapticonnect is a noticeable upgrade over sim hub. Way more detail and directionality even with just one buttkicker on a rig
@@sheldonfernandes back center profile of my rig extending under my seat. I just clamped it to a pair of L brackets pushed together and mounted under the seat and it’s completely secure
@@l4x3rj thanks for the response. Is it physically touching the seat or just the profile? Thinking of just running a 2020 right down the middle underneath and mount it there but afraid the contact won't be enough
@@sheldonfernandes mines an old Gamer 2 not a pro, but I have it mounted on the top of the back piece of 4020 that forms the base of my rig. It extending inward under the seat, which sits on its own rails so nothing touches.
I am just getting started to build my rig with my nephews help who has been iRaceing for years. I would be very happy to see you do a video on the deferent software that is out there for the ButtKickers I bought 4 for my TrakRacer TR 160 rig. I was not aware that I needed to add software to it also until yesterday. nice work on this one I really like the way you keep the background music low so you can be so clearly heard very nice. Thank you much.
I have the Gamer2 and was hoping this model might have been quieter but that doesn't appear to be the case. I do like the QOL improvements though like the wireless remote but don't think that's enough of a reason to upgrade. Great video and thanks for the review.
I guess I can sub now, I found you yesterday while watching your video on 6Sigma 6something-or-other simpit while you had 66.6k subs. You've gotten to 66.7k so I'll sub now.
In your opinion, does a Buttkicker make sense for a lightweight rig like the Playseat Challenge? I'm worried the vibration would overpower the Playseat Challenge and not give you a discrete feeling...
I know this is old but I use a Gamer 2 on my Next Level GT Lite, which is similar to a playseat challenge. Put it this way, I would never race without a bass transducer. You can adjust how much vibration you get. In fact, because of the way the seat is cradled in the frame on my GT Lite (similar to how the Playseat challenge is set up), I actually don't get enough vibration because the vibration get dampened before it gets to the seat. I am thinking of getting the Gamer Pro, since it has more power.
great vid like always! dont get how you make them soo good, and can you do a vid about whats the best lc pedals or something like t-lcm vs the fanatec csl lc pedals
At the lowest volume, can you hear it in the next room over? I know this depends on a lot of factors like wall/floor material and how well you isolate your rig but even without vibration reducers, could sleeping people hear/feel it? I race at night but would still like vibrations on my bucket seat
No, I play American truck simulator and have to turn all my stuff down to max 4%. Anything above that feels like over kill. I should prolly tone that down. You’ll be fine. Best purchase I’ve made yet!
@@Dontknowyet80 Thanks for the reply, do you have yours attached directly under the seat or to aluminum profile? I've read that mounting these to the bars make you lose a lot of the feeling but I didn't want to drill through my fiberglass bucket seat.
@@BangBoyxD my seat actually unzipped on the back and I placed it on the side middle way up. I though I would feel it on that side more because it wasn’t center. And that wasn’t the case. You feel it everywhere in the chair evenly. My chair isn’t attached to anything and let me tell you… on 100% my chair will slide across the floor. This thing is so good I’m considering canceling my DOF motion platform! Edit: to answer your Q, onto the aluminum.
Can it be used to simulate the vibration the Xbox controller would produce in any game that supports Xbox controller vibration? I use a flight and pedal setup for racing games but miss having vibrations.
It'll reproduce sensations that you feel through the controller into whatever you have it mounted to. It's a must have and you'll feel like you're missing something with it off. It's excellent for every game and music genre. Even on console it's awesome , PC kicks it up a notch.
I have two butt kickers and was wondering where to mount them for best performance. I see you have a single one on the actual profile that's mounted to the rail. do you recommend your method mounting them both in board under the seat or mounting them out board on each side.
I’ve been looking everywhere for this bit of information, but does anyone know the distance between the mounting feet? I’m wondering if it’ll fit using some of the pre drilled holes on my seat brackets.
Are you able to use the hapticonnect software to tune it with content manager? I just got one and I’m kinda stuck rn and no one in Reddit will respond💀
Yeah, I kind of worded the previous comment badly, but I was using the buttkicker software and it just wasn’t working for ac. Fortunately though, I got it working (I still have no clue how lol) so it’s fine. Thanks for the quick response though anyway!
Having to pay for the software isn’t that big of deal. I use SimVibe for my 4 Buttkickers. However, having to pay for more plugins? That’s ridiculous. Even if it’s only a couple dollars.
Very interesting device! I also provide videos of my home motion simulator runs on this account. I wanted to try this as well, especially since vibration is an important feedback.
Until you said pay per game I was sold even with the higher price for nothing. Just imagine anything else working that way, your steering wheel and pedals for example
Works fine. Used mine and an office chair while waiting for my rig. But it will make any loose pieces on the chair vibrate like crazy. Does the same on a rig but office chairs are way more rattly
@@Max__apex yup. It’s loud thru at least 1-2 floors. Wife constantly complains in the room next door. It’s just barely noticeable in the basement (2 floors up)
Dont buy buttkicker products. Mine stopped working after a little over a year. Have to replace amp, warranty only one year! Dont buy unless you are happy to see it die after a short while! Only help from support was turn it off, or replace it. What a waste of hard earned cash!

I've had my eye on this for some time, and I think that MY BODY IS READY NOW
Is your wallet ready though?
@@OCRacing I'm gonna have a chat with it. I can be persuasive .
Can you pair two buttkicker plus left&right on a console like ps5? Or not have the software itll just vibrate both at the same time?
Can it be used to simulate the vibration the Xbox controller would produce in any game that supports Xbox controller vibration? I use a flight and pedal setup for racing games but miss having vibrations.

Nice explanation, but I think they should use 4 pieces, 1 on each corner so you know what your brakes and suspension are doing
What do you think is the best software for 4 ButtKickers?
most mortal people will only buy 1 4 is for people who have more money or are hardcore sim racers.
I have two butt kickers and was wondering where to mount them for best performance. I see you have a single one on the actual profile that's mounted to the rail. do you recommend your method mounting them both in board under the seat or mounting them out board on each side.

Where you getting your pricing from, It says 359.00 here?
Does the long mounting bracket on the Gamer 2 give it leverage compared to the short mounting bracket on the Gamer Plus?
Can this amplifier power two transducers?
hi, can you set the telemetry per axle in the factory software? i mean the case if i want to feel only the rear suspension and tyre slip on my butt.
hey can you plz make a review on the thrustmaster table clamp. Hope you ca get to more than 100k
I’ll jot that down. Thanks :)

Content manager isn't used to tune buttkickers. I would look into simhub for configuring your buttkicker.

is it possible or does it even make sense to pair 4 pcs? im thinking of mounting 1 to every corner to my rig, one for each wheel.
It is possible and I know some people do. Really depends on your budget and whether you think you need it.
@@OCRacing great thank you for the quick awenser.
So you set them up with hapticonnect for each wheel i guess?
it can be attached to consoles with 3.5mm audio jack
Nice video mate
Thanks! And nice profile picture :)
I’ve recently just downloaded are racing and I was thinking about getting a butt kicker and this seems good
Good to hear!
I got 4 of them the 12th of APRIL !!!
Whts ur triple screen size?
I hope someone make a review for consoles XboxseriesX 😔.
It easly get overheated in DCS with RPM settings on and it shut off. Device it is just not designed well. Heat is not taken away effieciently.

No, works with anything really. Music, FPS, etc
