A Chair for Racing Enthusiasts
PLAYSEAT is a brand known for its variety of gaming chairs, specifically racing seats. These chairs aren't for everyone, as many gamers don't have enough space to accommodate them. However, Playseat has gained a niche audience with its foldable chairs that allow more people to enjoy racing games.
An Upgrade Worth It?
We're reviewing the fixed rig called Playseat Trophy Logitech G Edition Gaming Chair, which is a direct upgrade from the folding versions. But is this upgrade worth the price?
A Messy Assembly
When opening the package, the first thing we noticed was the somewhat messy screw arrangement and unclear instructions. Putting the screws in numbered baggies would have helped in the process.
Simple Setup
Despite the messy assembly, there are only a few pieces required to put the chair together, making the setup fairly easy.
Adjustable and Practical
The chair comes with practical velcro straps that allow for seat adjustments on the fly. However, the end result may not look as polished as in the promotional photos.
Compatibility Issues
If you're using a Thrustmaster ecosystem, compatibility with the chair may be an issue. The platform for the steering wheel has multiple screw holes, but they may not work for non-Logitech steering wheels. Desk hooks and shims may be needed to secure the wheel and platform.
Comfort and Design
The Playseat Trophy Logitech G Edition Gaming Chair offers a comfortable experience, even during longer gaming sessions. The breathable ActiFit material keeps you cool, and the body-conforming design and headrest provide reliable support.
A Sturdy and Compact Design
The chair's frameless rig and central axis add sturdiness and allow for footrest. Despite its solid construction, the chair can be easily moved and stored when not in use.
Room for Improvement
Considering the price, there is room for improvement, such as better recline capability and improved compatibility. However, the Logitech Trophy Playseat G Edition Gaming Chair is a substantial upgrade from foldable chairs and will likely satisfy racing enthusiasts.
