Playseat Challenge X - Logitech G Edition Sim Racing Cockpit Chair with Adjustable Racing Positions, ActiFit Breathable Material, Foldable and Lightweight Design, Shifter Mount Included

For the price its a great way to go. Its very adjustable and works well. It is designed for carpet. If you want to use it on hardwood, or a slick floor I would suggest you buy a ratchet strap and just put one across the front and rear legs to hold them at the adjustment you want. I didn't know this and when I sat in it the first time it collapsed after a few minutes. I am not obese, I weigh 76Kg, but that was enough to cause the adjustment splines to slip. I tried tightening them way too much to overcome this, but no dice. One ratchet strap to hold the legs in position manually and the thing is totally solid now, on any type of flooring. Pedal box mount has lots of adjustment for any size legs, wheel mount is good. It is kind of tricky to mount a shifter, but isn't too bad. If you don't mind the shifter being right next to the wheel, then you're in luck and don't need any additional hardware. If you want the shifter to be down more to your side for a realistic street car feel, you will need to buy an additional mount or build one. The wheel mount lifts up and to the side to let you in and out, there is a chintzy plastic latch to secure it. It works fine, just don't be rough with it. I have not had issue. Be careful, you can pinch yourself if in a hurry and clumsy. It's comfortable and I have had no issue endurance racing in GT7 in it. I recommend this for anyone wanting to sim race on a budget.

Coming from having my wheel and pedals installed on a desk and floor, I must say that this cockpit is a must for anyone wanting to do sim racing either as a hobby or a budget pro setup. My PC is in a small room so having the folding feature was a must for me. I used to sit on a regular chair and my back was hurting after a few minutes of playing. This seat definitely takes makes it more comfortable to race for hours. I use it with a Logitech G920 set. The seat offers several driving positions but only a handful are usable with the G920. If I want it higher at a level of 5, for example, the wheel is too close to me and even though there are holes to move the wheel back, it is not possible because you can't screw the shifter holder, plus the front claws are in the way so you can't line up the holes for the screws. Moving the cockpit for storage is easy since it is not too big nor too heavy. It takes only 2 minutes to fold and move it aside. When racing there is only minimal play of the wheel stand, not enough to be annoying or distracting. I do wish that Logitech had thought of a way to make the wheel stand riser to move either to the left or the right, since the way my room is setup I have a wall to the right, which is the only way to enter the cockpit with the riser open. Other than that, I love this cockpit and it has brought a much needed improvement to my racing setup.

Pros: - Wife approved (it fits in closet when not in use) - Easy to assemble - Plenty of mod support (I purchased a 3D printed add on for my shifter/handbrake that was made for the original Playseat and it works perfectly) - Works with CSL DD and mounts securely with 3 bolts (you have to flip the mounting plate backwards from its original position for the bolts to line up correctly) - Great GT3 style seating position where the seat “leans back” slightly and my arms are at a 90 degree angle. I’m 5’9” so your mileage may vary Cons: - Not super sturdy, the locking and swinging mechanism is the weakest link here and there is pretty bad forward/backward stability. Side to side feels fine, even with 8Nm of torque from the direct drive wheel base - Noise levels are fairly high, the material squeaks on the metal pieces especially when racing hard. To solve this I used some of the circular rubber protectors it came with, cut them to specific sizes and added them to the locations it was squeaky which mostly fixed it - No mounting options for my CSL Elite V2 pedals, I ended up using a ton of zip ties which actually work surprisingly well and feel very sturdy once secured All in all, a great rig that lets me race hard and then put everything away in a nice compact area. 100x better than a wheel mounted to a desk and sliding around in my office chair. I can finally trail brake correctly because of this, which significantly improved my lap times The stability isn’t great, but I don’t notice very much when racing. They do sell “stability” kits but I haven’t felt the need to purchase them yet If you’re on the fence and need something compact, I say go for it. I’m really glad I got this, just wish it was slightly more stable for forward/backward pressure

Bought a G920 years ago and rarely used it because of the hassle with desk mounting, sliding chair, etc. Got back into sim racing and this was my first upgrade…and I must say it’s ALMOST exactly what it says. I’ve used it for hours every day since I got it (several months) and no issues with the quality! PROS 1) Well constructed and easy setup 2) Folds up easily, very small footprint 3) Easy mounting for belt drives & low power DD wheel bases 4) Slight flexing but not really noticeable & much better than expected! 5) Pedal position adjustment is SO simple, and plenty of distance for tall 6’ plus sizes 6) Much more comfortable than expected, no issues with hour long (or more) sessions, relatively easy to get in/out of CONS 1) Biggest complaint, no sliding adjustment for wheel to seat distance. If you want the wheel farther away, you have to lower the whole chair to increase the distance from wheel mount to seating position. Basically, I have to sit F1 style to get the wheel out of my chest (I’m 6’ tall) and it’s still almost too close. I get why you can’t “slide” the chair position (it IS a folding setup after all) but would like to have seen some slide adjustment on the wheel mounting plate at the least. That would have made this almost perfect! CONCLUSION For a first entry, budget, small footprint, all-in-one fold up solution, this rig is ALMOST perfect. Craftsmanship is excellent for the price and suprisingly rugged/robust. All mounting hardware was included, and as stated, setup was simple. Adjustability is fine for most, could be better for taller people (only real complaint). As a side note, I just upgraded to my first DD wheelbase (Moza R5 Bundle) and it handles it fine. Was worried it would be too much for the rig but it’s perfectly fine with no more movement than the G920 which wasn’t really noticeable when driving anyway. Highly recommend this setup if you’re looking for an upgrade to your desk mount wheelbase and pedals. Made a HUGE difference in every facet of my driving from lap times to getting away from assists. Paired with the Moza R5 bundle, this rig finally gave me the confidence to jump into online multiplayer competition. If you’re a beginner like me, don’t have several thousand $ to spend, and most importantly, the wife won’t let you have a “permanent” rig…look no further, this is definitely the route to go!

This chair works perfectly with my Logitech G920 and is a huge improvement for more precise driving and braking. The assembly was pretty straightforward and only took 15 minutes or so. Since it's the G edition, the wheel, pedal and shifter fits almost perfectly, except one minor issue: when folding, the shifter somehow obstructs the tube and prevents the wheel from tilting further. As a result, I can't fold the chair to the upright position and hence the pedal is blocked. It appears my shifter has an additional piece for supporting when the shifter is mounted to a desk, which is not shown in Logitech's official website. I'm guessing this could be a later version with improvements. I inspected and realized that piece can be easily removed by removing the four screws (highlighted in the last picture). Once removed, the chair can be folded without any issue. The build quality of the chair is great in my opinion. It also looks good and is easy to adjust. The wheel support wiggles slightly when shifting due to its design for easy entry/exit, which I can live with. There's aftermarket reinforcement mod to solve this issue, but they are likely to disable the easy entry/exit feature, so I probably won't consider it.

This Playseat Challenge X Logitech G Edition exceeded my expectations. It’s very sturdy, comfortable, and surprisingly easy to set up. The frame feels solid even during intense racing sessions, and it doesn’t move around when using a force feedback wheel. I also love that it’s foldable, which makes it perfect if you don’t have a lot of space. When I’m done playing, I can easily store it away. The seating position feels realistic and comfortable even after long sessions. If you’re serious about sim racing but don’t want a permanent rig taking up space, this is a perfect choice. Highly recommended!

The plate for the wheelbase is difficult to unscrew, just use a drill. Although the Logitech RS50 wheelbase fits on this cockpit, it's not theade for it and is not optimized for it. However it's a nice to use with it. The RS pedals are also not made for this , and I found it difficult to attach to the cockpit. It's actually very loose with the provided screws and spacers. Instructions in paperwork and online are also difficult to follow.

This seat is more comfortable than I thought, it is very durable and doesn't take long to assemble. The mount for the wheel base is meant for the lower nm wheels, but I use this with an 8nm fanatec and its still good and sturdy from moving sideways. Its a bit flimsy moving it back and forth but you dont really do that with a wheel. The downside is that its a bit on the pricey side but after using it for a few months, its still great and I would recommend to other gamers. The best thing about this product is that I can fold it and then store it in the corner of my room when not in use and it doesn't take up too much space!

prodotto arrivato incredibile in anticipo rispetto alla data di consegna, imballato perfettamente e perfettamente funzionante. Consiglio

Comfortable breathable fabric. Sturdy unit. Looks amazing too

Perfekt

Excelente opcion para poder jugar tus juegos de carreras, sobre todo por que esta version de playseat challenge te deja configurar la silla a diferentes alturas cosa que el Challenge normal no, ademas de que puedes igual configurar diferente angulo para los pedales tambien. Definitivamente es un upgrade respecto a la version Challenge normal, lo que si es que hay que apretar mas, con cuidado de no pasarse de demasiada presion los tornillos de las manijas azules de bloqueo de posicion de altura o configuracion de altura de la silla, ya que si aguanta los 122kg pero sino estan bien apretados esos tornillos no aprieta bien y se gira las roscas y hace que se vayan al nivel mas bajo por el peso, Yo peso 100kg y me paso la primera vez que me sente, despues aprete mas y listo juego sin problemas por horas. Lo recomiendo totalmente!!! ojala se lograra que bajara un poco mas a su precio de salida original, pero me imagino sube el precio ya que ya no es tan facil conseguirlo ya no lo venden en cualquier parte y para Mexico menos, sin embargo aqui me parecio un precio decente en comapracion de otros muchos lugares donde lo busque y, o no lo tenian ya de ninguna manera o costaba bastante mas que aqui en Amazon. Por algo no es facil de conseguir ya que es un excelente Producto y Opcion!!!

Buen cockpit para los que no tenemos mucho espacio, es estable y transmite las vibraciones del volante lo que te da más inmersión en el juego
