ButtKicker Gamer 2 Review: Amazing Audio Haptics in VR!
Sound is a big part of immersion in VR, and adding a bass shaker to seated VR rigs is something we’ve always wanted to test. We’re impressed by the performance of the ButtKicker Gamer 2 tactile transducer and amplifier kit, which works seamlessly with cockpit games from racing to mech piloting to space combat games, and adds a tremendous amount of fun to VR experiences. It’s a highly-recommended upgrade to your VR setup!

I’ve been working out how I might add flight/space sim capability to it as well and Buttkicker would be an excellent extra. It would go well with my electronic drum kit too! I’ll start saving…
Nice, I didn’t know they had something that can attach to office chairs. I’m slowly building my racing sim rig up. I might have to get one of these now…
