Hi all,

Recently for my birthday, I got given this interesting device, which you can connect to your PC or PS2/XBox and it gives you vibrations for your video games.

I use it for FS and it is absolutely brilliant. I tell you - for e.g - when you take off and you are rumbling down the runway, you feel the rumbling vibrations from the Buttkicker (attached to your chair) and you can feel all that bass!

You feel turbulance, you feel the bumbs on landing and that is just a small portion of what it does to the Sim. So if you want to actually feel like you are flying any airplane on FS - BUY THIS _ I SWEAR YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!

Just take some time to look at this review here:

and buy it here if you are interested:

Take a look!

It is a must have!

Mike 😉

Hi Guys,
Been reading all your comments on the ButtKicker Gamer. I heard about them online but being from the UK, it's really expensive to ship over here, plus the import duty/VAT etc is always a killer!

I had a look at the Aurasound Bass Shakers mentioned above and technically, they look like they'll do the job, but you have to mount those yourself and somehow attach them to your chair. The ButtKicker Gamer is much better for Flight Sim users (in my humble opinion), as it clamps straight to your chair with no fuss.

I can certainly say that I’ll never want to fly without the ButtKicker Gamer now. It makes SUCH a difference the realism, it's truly a fantastic accessory.

If you're from the UK, check out

They've got a great support helpline if, like me, you got stuck on installation!

I bought an amp from the US a couple of years ago and got stung big time by customs and excise. By the time they'd had their slice of the pie and Parcel Force added their international handling charge, it ended up costing me an extra £35 on a £100 amp!!! Be warned!!

Hi there,

Yes you can. As long as you turn the sound down on the speakers themselves and not from source (i.e. the volume control on the PC).
