I live on 5th floor and had a gamer 2, people on the 3rd floor were complaining they hear bass rumbling. Setting it more to a lower setting i didnt feel anything. So i sold it.
I added haptic feedback using a cheap Nobsound amp and some transducers off e bay. I thought it'd just be a bit of fun to feel rumble strips and gear changes, but I never realized just how useful and detailed the feedback was. Having both Front & Rear units it really gives a good sense of what the car is doing and once dialled in I can actually now feel where the limit of grip is much more clearly
Intention of the video is good but the actual information provided is rather poor. More information around mounting, installation and software setup would have been a value-add.
My BK will be here tomorrow!! Putting it on my Recliner!! As I’m Disabled from Deployment!! And have 0 chance of getting into one of those bucket seats!! Excited to see what happens!!
Me : I just got Fanatec's complete set : CSL DD with booster, V3 Pedals, McLaren GT3 wheel, Fanatec RS wheel, shifter and hand brake all mounted on NLR F-GT cockpit. I need nothing more. Overtake_gg : we have the perfect addition for your rig if you already have all what you need!
You didn't explain how to attach it to the alluminium t-slots profile, neither different position points on the rig to maximise the feeling, still I don't get where did u put the rubber isolator and if by adding them you introduce flex to your seat or wherever you put these rubbers isolators..
Wireless remote and USB connection, that's it. For a longer and more in-depth review, hop over to Mike from SimRacing604, ruclips.net/video/ElcGA8j80aw/видео.html
I've just watched another channel review this, sounds pretty good however after getting shot down about my woojer vest edge it pretty much does the same job plus your surrounded by all feedback and vibrations and yes this works via all audio channels which connects to anything with an audio output
Problem with the vest is that for sim racing it would just feel awkward. You want the feedback to go through your seat and possibly your pedals. You feel your car with your butt mainly.
Very interesting device! I also have a home motion simulator driving video available on this account. I wanted to try this as well, especially since vibration is an important feedback.
errm does it actually move much or is it more like a static hum.. this is on my shopping list for a while now but.. not that my rig doesnt support it - i dont know if my floor does :D
I removed the three vibrators with control unit from an old massage mat and two of them on the right and left of the seat and one on the pedal plate. works great.
So is the haptic connect software not yet optimized for ACC? I only get certain feedback but miss suspension and other details that i was expecting. Have not yet tried it for AC.
if i want to mount 2 or 4 buttkickers, do i need 2/4 amps too? or just 1 for all buttkickers i mount? i live in apartment with neigbours around me, can i forget the buttkicker with neighbours?
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.
They are awesome but buying the name brand is unnecessary. Get a $20 usb 2 channel amp and a couple transducers, also about $20 each. Does the exact same thing for a fraction of the cost of the buttkicker. And the Simhub software is free.
@@LouieCovarrubias Agree. Whilst I think the Buttkicker is a pretty good product, it's not worth the money. They are what 150W per transducer? I can't see a world where I need that, I have 50W over 3 transducers and I find it to be plenty of feedback. I guess it depends how you mount it but I'm often turning mine down to 75% because it starts to feel overbearing in long races.
SimHub is giving me a warning when I try to install it, Windows is saying it's from an Unknown Publisher...makes me worry about installing it. Is this safe??
Can we make this vibrate when you are on the very edge of traction like in real life when you have "feeling"? Having to listen for the inaccurate audible screeching of the tires for maximum grip is pretty lame in Iracing. I would like it to lightly vibrate when the tires begin screeching and be progressively stronger until traction is full broken. As the tires slide, it still vibrates but too a lesser degree. If this device can't be set up for this then I don't care for it.
If you could attach 2 ButtKicker Gamer to the rig, i.e. for the front and the back, and software that would then cleverly regulate them, I would say. yeah bring it on. The idea of a throw-in has nothing to do with the ButtKicker Gamer but goes in the same direction. What if Sony licensed a rig with haptic feedback for its PS5? The PS5 controller gives a lot of feedback what would only a rig be able to do?
Hey... Did you connect this directly to the bottom of your sparco seat? I have a full motion sim with a momo seat and I am wondering if I can connect it to my seat... Link to my older setup...ruclips.net/video/2hkt1reRMyo/видео.html Thanks, Mike
Yeah don't waste your money with Buttkickers, do what others have for half the price and get a better setup... Nobsound amp and Dayton Audio pucks. Far superior.
I don’t get how the conclusion is “you should get one” when it’s not designed to mount to a professional rig and the software didn’t work. Need to disclose a sponsorship?
hello OverTake, I have a question? what is the difference of buttkicker pro & Pearl ThMP-1 Throne Thumper Butt Kicker? because i have a pearl-1 buttkicker on my ps5 and i want to buy the new model buttkicker pro, is that wise?

Hey can you let me know how you did that? What wires you needed and links to what you bought please.
Same, post a video tutorial. I'd watch it

Just an ad for the butt kicker not a review
My BK will be here tomorrow!! Putting it on my Recliner!! As I’m Disabled from Deployment!! And have 0 chance of getting into one of those bucket seats!! Excited to see what happens!!
What happened?
I’m pretty darn close to ordering this after watching.
until you saw the price LOL
yea I pumped up my brakes too at that moment lol
300€ for a powerful subwoofer and an amplifier is overpriced af.
I'm sure it'd be a nice addition, but not at that price for me lol.
yeah literally a scam as it's for 'sim Racing'
now its 400 € :( yeah, i'm out
I've had one for a while now and don't want to drive without it now.
Maybe you should take your chance to win the even newer ButtKicker Gamer Plus through our raffle 👀 if so, good luck 🍀
@@OverTake_gg No thanks, let someone get it that doesn't have one.
I put an old woofer under the chair, great feeling
Great review! I want one of these now.

First timer for rig racing hope this is worth it

It has the same power as the buttkicker gamer 2, so is this one better, stronger or what? Compared to the gamer 2?
Wireless remote and USB connection, that's it. For a longer and more in-depth review, hop over to Mike from SimRacing604, ruclips.net/video/ElcGA8j80aw/видео.html
Hopefully the amp is better? I hear a lot of the gamer 2 ones die.
Do I need the software on Xbox? Seems crazy you have to buy it.
Would have loved to see how it is mounted to the rig. Where do you place it?
Anywhere it will clamp on. It's going to shake anything it's clamped too. I clamp mine on my chair leg so it shakes my seat.
It is mounted just like in the thumbnail. 2 screws at the back of my rig 😁👋 Regards, Joe

Great review. Buttkickers are a great value.
Very interesting device!
I also have a home motion simulator driving video available on this account. I wanted to try this as well, especially since vibration is an important feedback.
Let me know how it goes! I also have a motion rig and Im not sure if it is worth getting a buttkicker with it.
i just bought the buttkicker gamer 2 two weeks ago and now they annouce this
What kind of result can you get when using a PS5? Turn the music off and roll the audio trigger down to just lower tones?
Just ordered the PRO! I can't wait!!
What about four butt kicker minis? Are there any good?
In Kenya we say, "Kula na macho." Which also means eat with the eyes! 😂🤣
errm does it actually move much or is it more like a static hum.. this is on my shopping list for a while now but.. not that my rig doesnt support it - i dont know if my floor does :D

Wait, how do you integrate that to the pc/ game though?
Simhub
Add a VR headset and you're golden
Anyone know if they will become available in Europe or will I have to rely on official partner resellers?
So is the haptic connect software not yet optimized for ACC? I only get certain feedback but miss suspension and other details that i was expecting. Have not yet tried it for AC.
I swear, I hope the censored word was one worth censoring and not "Bottom" like I suspect it is lol
Does it work with PS5 GTS/GT7?
Yes
the rubber feet should come with this...kind of odd they are not included... and what "rig" do you have...look like its just a chair?
For the algorithm ; )
Where can we get it in Germany? Buttkicker doesn't ship anywhere else other than US and Canada!
I am very interested does it work on ps5?
if i want to mount 2 or 4 buttkickers, do i need 2/4 amps too? or just 1 for all buttkickers i mount?
i live in apartment with neigbours around me, can i forget the buttkicker with neighbours?
What track is that you were testing?
Why does this feel like I'm watching a sextoy review? :p
Does the butkicker work with Gran Tourismo?
diferences between this new unit and the Gamer2?
I have my triple screens mounted to the rig, do the vibrations transfer to the screens and affect them in any way?
Depends on the screens, technically. Though I’ve never heard of displays being damaged by LFE
What's the height of the whole clamping? Not the diameter
I spend 9 minutes watching your Face on camera but you can't showing your shaker mount to your cockpit
How did you mount this?
What track was that please?
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.
No, the transducer is not an XInput device. However, transducers through simhub are way better than “rumble”
is there anything like this for consoles
Will this work for PS4 like GT7??
I'm really wondering what it feels like... Currently building a rig.
Kinda like when your controller would vibrate on console but shakes your seat in the same manner.
Its a must have for a simrig. It brings life to your rig, wheel and pedals. You can hook it up to a subwoofer directly for even more immersion.

My firend's GF wanted one of this..but she's not a sim racer. I can't figure out why?

Yeah you’re good.
@@SosaKinkos thanks!
What filter is that on ac?
How can I hook it to my Xbox x
Wouldn't you get a similar immersion with a motion rig?
A motion rig has a comma in the price.

Yes it can set up to trasmit 'wheel slip', which is really useful information to improve your driving.

Just what I need from my gear reviews, a gay Frenchman bumbling through English acting like a lolrandom teenager from 2002.
Homophobic
Has anyone mounted this to a playseat evolution?
Do they sell it in Europe?
Yes! They ship to the eu :) Regards, Joe
@@OverTake_gg Hey, i wanted to order one but they are only shipping to USA and Canada or am i wrong?

Disagree completely. If you don't think its a game changer, play with it for a month solid then remove it.
This not called Digital Display, it's called 7-Segment Display.

Hi. thanks for feedback, i think is the same buttkicker.
