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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you watch the assembley video it shows the guy placing the steering wheel arm into the adjusters for the seat position. 05.51. He puts a screw in either side of the arm fastening it to the adjuster from the top down.On mine there was no way to put a screw in as all the holes where the opposite way so you'd be screwing it in from the bottom upwards.Also the head bar 1.11 does not push in to the same depth as the one in the video rendering it loose.The foam surrounding that was also flattened in places from packaging.Rubbish piece of equiptment.Oh and if you unbox it fully and lay it out, god help you trying to fit it back the way it was packaged.Sent back for a refund.

We are thoroughly enjoying this racing Sim seat and it’s extremely lightweight but surprisingly very sturdy. It holds our G923 steering wheel very well and I’ve even attached a custom gearshift knob and doesn’t move a single bed with it. Excellent piece of kit. If you want something that’s foldable with the small space like we do.

First one arrived missing a part, so hard to exchange. Pretty good for the money, and a lot more solid than my previous rig. Needed some tightening on the height locks, and would be good to have an adjustment on the wheel position to move a bit further away when seat is higher, but purchased an arm for my monitor to adjust that easier. Seat cover seems pretty good quality. First time using the wheel did move, so you need to tighten up the wheel tightly to prevent this.Otherwise feels like a good upgrade and tucks away relatively compactly for the size of it.
