    I started out looking at Wheel Stand Pro Super G to mount my Logitech G29, but quickly stumbled upon the OpenWheeler Gen 2. Based on the large number of positive reviews I decided it was worth the extra money to get a full racing rig. Glad I made the leap! I added the OpenWheeler Seat Lift Kit and OpenWheeler Universal Bracket so I could mount a Buttkicker mini LFE subwoofer to my setup. With these upgrades I no longer have a racing seat, I own a racing simulator! The item was packed very well and the box was no larger than it needed to be. Assembly and setup were a breeze. I suggest you get the Seat Lift Kit at time of purchase to simplify the setup process and save you the trouble from disassembling it all later. I believe the seat lift kit should be included standard since its so good, but understand the manufacturer is trying to hit a lower price point to compete with other solutions. My first recommendation for future improvement includes changing the location of the three large knobs on the base of steering column and main support. Their placement makes entry and exit a bit awkward and it seems like Im always bumping my feet into them. The rig is sturdy enough, but if they could place the large knobs on the side it would make entry and exit easier. My second recommendation would be to alter the design so I could push the steering wheel further away from me, but bring the foot pedals closer. I like to drive with my arms a bit more extended. Maybe a U shaped cut out in the foot pedal plate? Overall, Im extremely happy with the OpenWheeler setup and my buddy is impressed with it. He now loves playing Gran Turismo. Previously, he said he wasnt into racing games, but he sure is now! Very happy with my investment.

    This thing is amazing! Assembly was straight forward, but I do recommend getting the Riser Kit. I did, and was easy to implement. Youd be sitting on the ground without them. For the set itself: seat is very comfortable and the entire set is very sturdy. I am using the Fanatec GT DD Pro and with Force Feedback turned all the up, this cockpit set doesnt budge in the least. Furthermore, it is easy to separate the seat part from the wheel/pedal part for compact storage. If youre into racing games, this is an absolute Must Have!

    Im a bit cheap in general, and in particular when spending money on toys that a grown-ass man shouldnt even need. :) But, I got tired of using my wheel/pedals in an office chair, and recently switched to a standing-only desk as well. So, it was time to spend some money. I looked at lots of options and this was by far the most affordable for this type of setup. I use a Logitech G920 and only race iRacing, but I race pretty consistently (several hours per week on average). This ticked all the boxes, so I pulled the trigger. Shipping was pretty quick and it arrived undamaged which is always a concern with large items like this. Packaging was great, everything you need is in the box and instructions are better than most. Assembly didnt take long at all, and there is a nice amount of adjustability. Im 6-2 and about 225 pounds, didnt have any trouble finding spacing that worked well for my needs. Ive spent quite a few hours in this seat now and have no real complaints. It holds up well, is reasonably comfortable, and is vastly superior to sitting in an office chair while pretending to be a race car driver. I always race in VR as well, so little bit of fiddling to get a functional desktop setup going, but as it sits now it works okay and even for long endurance races I am comfortable and competitive. Highly recommend - honestly its hard to believe they can sell it at this price and make money at it!

    The quality of this chair is superb, but what I wanted to review was the assembly instructions. Incredibly detailed with parts in small labeled bags. You get wire management ties and even full wrenches and Allen keys to put this together. You need nothing extra. Instructions are very clear and each page has colored photos of each step. This is well worth the price.

    I have two of these. The first is setup as a flight sim cockpit. I liked it so much that when I was ready to build a driving simulator, I didn’t even look at anything else. Excellent design and good clear instructions, with all the hardware clearly labeled in individual bags for each application. I do HIGHLY recommend the seat riser and frame extender accessories for any configuration of this seat.

    Despite the female account name, Im a 6 2, 180lb male. I bought this seat at the start of the pandemic and have used it daily ever since. The 5 lift kit is essential if you are going to have your monitor on a desk. Im using a Logitech wheel with Fanatec pedals and everything fit. Instructions were excellent and all the tools were furnished. Construction is solid and has held up well. Its easy to move when I need to use a conventional chair. Two things to consider if you are looking at this chair. 1. The center post might make it hard to heel and toe if that is your driving style. I wear a 13 (US) shoe and it would be tough. I left foot brake so I keep one foot on either side of the wheel post. 2. I wear a 35 sleeve length and I have adjusted the wheel as far forward as it will go. Another inch of adjustment would be helpful. Its not a deal breaker... Update 2/3/21: I took another look at the mounting plate and found I could get my extra room by moving my pedals to a different hole location. I could use two existing holes and had to drill two new holes in the pedals. Problem solved!

    Made of high quality, one thing I noticed as a flaw however, the supporting bracket for the podium/steering wheel can interfere with the pedals. Thats why I gave it 1 less star.

    I did a bit of research before buying this seat and a lot of reviewers were saying this one is great for the price. My entire setup is entry level, what I have is: Logitech G923 wheel Logitech G923 pedals w/ AXC truebrake mod Logitech Shifter Meta Quest 2 w/ official link cable Customer Service: 5/5 I have had to contact customer service twice. I asked them about the Buttkicker mount over the phone, I didnt catch the guys name but he was extremely helpful. I ended up ordering the mount based on what he explained to me. The other time I had to contact the company was the seat back had a small snag in it. Im assuming this happened in shipping because the QA on everything else from these guys is excellent. The box wasnt in perfect shape when it was dropped off, and was sitting on its side. Its very possible the shippers caused this problem. I contacted the company and explained the issue, they shipped me a new seat back - no hassle at all. THIS COMPANY IS GREAT! Ergonomics: 4.5 / 5 I am able to get the shifter, pedals and wheel to a position that feels nice for me. I am a little taller than 6ft and 260ish lb. The seat feels good, but could use more lower back support. I will be trying a pillow I have lying around the house before I order the pillow that goes w/ this seat. The bottom clamps on the Logitech wheel do impact my knees sometimes - which pulls my immersion out of the VR headset and back into the real world. This is fixed slightly by adjusting the way I move my legs. The real fix is I need to dig into the wheel and remove the clamps as a long term fix. This is not a major issue and the impact rarely happens now that I am used to how I need to sit. I drive a Miata IRL and I have better legroom in this rig than the Miata. Build Quality: 5/5 The rig is well put together and once you tighten down all the adjustments it is extremely solid. The seat is nicely made, feels sturdy. The pedal plate is very solid - I have the AXC truebrake mod which requires more force than stock Logitech pedals. I get no plate flex at all, the Logitech pedal case flexes and groans more than the rig does. I am planning to get into VR flight sims next, this seat is what I will use. I will order the alternate pieces to convert this to flight sim. If I had the space I would just buy a second seat dedicated for a flight sim setup - the setup is that good! Love this company, very glad I gave them a chance - they have a customer forever!

    Easy assembly...would give it 5 stars except for Ex Gen not offering a monitor stand also Thrustmaster wheel must be mounted with clamp not providing a firm grip

    Ive used this cockpit for a few days now and am very happy with it. Please note that the cat, clutter on the desk, steering wheel and pedals do not come with this product and are items I added after assembly. I added the chair lift kit as I am not a spring chicken anymore and its easier to get in and out of the chair with it raised a bit. Overall, assembly was easy, instructions were clear and component bags were clearly labeled, allowing for assembly with minimal confusion
