PLAYSEAT® Challenge X - Logitech G Edition

This is a review of the Playseat Challenge X (bought about 3 months ago) paired with the Logitech G923 wheel and pedals for use with a PlayStation 5. Points to note for prospective buyers: - I specifically wanted a seat that I could fold away and store in another room when not in use, with the steering wheel and pedals still attached. This lets me do that and it doesn’t take up much floor space when folded. - As such, it probably doesn’t have the bulk and stability of the fixed seats, but this is to be expected. - Not cheap, especially given its “light weight” folding-design construction. There seems to be a fair amount of plastic used but the metal tubular frame works as expected. - It has sufficient adjustments to accommodate my parents and my young niece and nephew, and for our average weight and height it seems quite stable and adequate. I’d highly recommend for anyone that wants a seat that folds away and can be moved elsewhere around the home.

Meets our needs perfectly. Installing the Thrustmaster T248 wheel and pedals was rather easy. Folding and moving is easy enough to do a couple of times a day. Just unplugging the cables, and everything else remains on the seat. We even have a Razer Freyja which gets folded in as well. The seat itself is wide enough to feel very sturdy, and narrow enough to fit in the gap we have for it. The only thing missing is a proper handbrake/shifter holder. The one in the box puts the shifter way too high.

This is an amazing piece of kit!! Feels quality when assembling the chair and is surprisingly comfortable in use. Paired with a Logitech G923 (Lots of other wheels are supported too) it's a perfect solution for gamers who want a racing rig but also the option to quickly fold away. The wife doesn't go crazy when I use the chair as knows it'll be gone when I'm done 🤣 Bit pricey but it's the best option out there imo and the older (cheaper) playseat is still a good chair... But this is better in every way if you can get it.

The Playseat has been around for ages now and this new version adds a few quality of life improvements. No more straps to adjust for the angle makes it easier to get in and out of, but maybe reduces the granularity of adjustment. The gear stick holder is a nice addition as well. I've got an old G25 wheel on it, but it'll fit pretty much anything. Bit pricey maybe but it's the best folding seat option around and if you have a 3d printer there are a wealth of assesories available.

Better than I expected, fairly sturdy and robust

I read the reviews a number of times before I purchased. My expectations were not too high, but from the moment I opened the box I was delighted with the quality of the product. Yes when you play the game there can be a tiny bit of movement but it is unnoticeable. The chair is comfortable and this gets 5 stars easily. This is a purchase that has surpassed expectations for me.

The seat is great and folds up well. It’s very comfortable and I have played long sessions without any issues. Unfortunately, Playseat have clearly cheaped out on some of the parts — and these aren’t expensive parts either — they’re literally saving pennies overall. For one, the screws that you use to adjust pedal distance from your feet are plastic. They frequently come loose and makes set up/fold up more painful than it needs to be. The threads definitely are not going to last. If they used metal screws instead this wouldn’t be an issue. The catch that locks the steering wheel to the seat is also plastic. It also comes loose, sometimes while driving in the game. Again, this should have been metal. There is another screw that you use to adjust steering wheel height. Again — plastic, also comes loose. Do you see a pattern? Finally there is a strap they have included which you can use to tie the pedals to the seat when you fold it up. Except it’s much too short — they could have spared like three extra inches and it would have been fine. No idea how that even passed QA, I have to use my own. All in all, decent product but poor execution because they wanted to make more pennies on the margin…

Fantastic chair to go with the steering wheel. Very sturdy and folds away.

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.

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!!!
