PlaySeat - Trophy SIM Racing Cockpit - Black

Great cockpit - Easy to install, sturdy, quite comfortable/adjustable and stealth. Doesn't take too much space so it's pretty good for a medium space. I also managed to install a 34'' Ultrawide monitor with stand directly on the wheel base, didn't need any extra accessories to make that happen. :)

Pretty solid rig. handles my r9 with no flex at all. pedal plate is super sturdy and doesn’t flex under load cell braking. there’s a decent amount of adjustability but unable to angle the steering wheel a lot. it’s pretty much flat or angled down but no angle up unless you’re under 6 feet tall. materials are good and paint doesn’t scratch easily at all. super expensive for what it is but it does have a seat. i would’ve went for a profile rig if i had another choice.

The PlaySeat Trophy gets the job done and it's lightweight if you need to move it. That's the niche. At around this price point you can get an 8020 Aluminum Profile rig if you have a permanent place to put it. Those are "sturdier," support more seat positions for the difference between low-to-the-ground F1 or high upright truck driving, sometimes come with the monitor mounts built-in, and have better expand-ability in the sense that you can get motion platform systems for them. If you don't need to move your rig very much after you assemble it get one of those instead. You'll probably be happier with it. I needed something that can handle the pressure of fully loading a high-end brake pedal, so up-to 100KG of force between your lower back on the seat and the pedals mounted in the front of the rig. So I couldn't get a flimsy fold-up-when-you're-done rig. But it still needed to be light enough to be moved around because I'm very space limited. I have to move mine out of the way when I'm done with my sessions and even to take breaks mid-session. This product delivers on that. It doesn't look like it's going to be that sturdy since the seat straps onto the frame with Velcro, but it absolutely holds (so far, with maybe 40 hours across 2 weeks of use). Just follow the assembly instructions so you don't mess it up, which seems to be the common factor in the reviews where the seat tears or the frame flexes under load. I don't have either problem. And it's comfortable for long 4+ hour sessions. The seat is cloth so it doesn't get hot when it's 80+ degrees. Has extra cable ties so you can strap the cables along the front of the rig and keep them out of the way, and it comes with cheap white gloves for assembly to make you feel bougie since you just spent a lot of money. It's the least they could do really. If I had more space I would have gotten a better product for about the same price. Given my circumstances this was the best product for the price, and I got it on sale at $529 (down from $600 MSRP) which helped further. Not a bad product by any means. Just do your research before you spend this kind of money so you wont be disappointed. It fits my specific use case better than anything else so I'm happy with it.

I’m 6’4”, seat was extremely uncomfortable for my back after 15 minutes. I’d say I’m about max height for this product, looks great when put together. I really liked when paired with the Thrustmaster T598 the whole cockpit vibrates with the wheel and the shifting brings the immersion home. I wish there was more back support, I tried a towel behind me and other variations for back support and I just couldn’t get comfortable.

Perfect seating positions and very easy to slide around room when needing to move it
