The ultimate Gaming Seats are here, with alternatives if you are short on space!

We are always testing gaming seats and steering wheels, and we recently had the pleasure of playing with products from Fanatec! A fantastic piece of German Engineering, with links into Porsche, make a really outstanding gaming seatsproduct!

Wheel Stand

The issue we have with Gaming Cockpits/Seats (eg. VisionRacer, BobEarl, Cockpit etc) is that they take up so much room, and in todays environment many families just dont have the room. The competitive pricing of the wheel stand make this a muct have product… The RennSport started life as a step up from the traditional keyboard/mouse, or joystick. In my experience, PC users were generally keyboard & mouse focussed, whilst console people used joysticks. The Fanatec WheelStand challenges the gaming seat environment, making use of your sofa and delivers a great gaming experience. If you imagine the life cycle of gaming controls, we started with the keyboard, then the joystick, the mouse, the pad and now we have the wheelstand. The next stage in the evolution would be a cockpit/gaming seat – although we’ll cover that in another article.

The Fanatec product family are generally solid aluminum frame giving a solid product (as with all German Engineering!) and it does the job well. The product isn’t in the same league as VisionRacer or Cockpit, and the price reflects this. You can connect your XBOX steering wheen, or PS3 to this solid gaming seat – and no need for a table! From experience, we usually sell these for console people, as they are so easy to put away when not in use.

Space is a premium today, and the WheelStand doesn’t take up as much room as a Gaming Seat, making use of your existing sofa. The Pedals fit in snugly, and with the Logitech G25 your’ away!

If you haven’t got a spare room for the CockPit or VisionRacer – then you need one of these! A real plus is that it is easy to pack away, whilst being rock solid – being made out of aluminum, this really helps.

Fanatec CockPit

The CockPit has great adjustment range, it looks impressive, and you can make some adjustments to the monitor height. Young family… get this, I.e. a range of different sizes, as the Cockopit can be adjusted for the individual. The sliding keyboard holder is a nice touch too. The gaming seat products benefit from the design pedigree of porsche!

The CockPit continues with the manufacture philosophy of the WheelStand – solid Aluminum construction giving strength and stability, and the seating is made out of fibreglass. Out of the box the Fanatec Gaming Seat Cockpit supports a 3 monitor configuration, either 3*24″ displays or a single 37″ display. Acoustically, it was a nice touch to see the inbuilt 5.1 design.1 surround sound too. If you are playing games, then you must have a good sound system and appropriate layout of speakers – the cockpit has all this.

Overall the VisionRacer and CockPit are well matched, ones from a German company and one is British – who will win!
