Hi all - our final design incorporates the features requested by many on this forum and is now getting a great reaction. Big thanks to all!
It's been a long road (to say the least) but we've finally gone live and are now accepting pre-orders with $100 discount. Exciting times. Comments and feedback as always very welcome.
Looks really cool, very tempted. At the store to get the full experience do you need to add everything? Under description of the chair it says it includes cable magazine but in the store section there is a separate cable magazine. Do you offer a bundle for the complete package?
We are making no money on the slip rings. We didn't include in the bundle because some people might want Gear VR. We include basic slip rings on our entry product to support Gear VR (charging) as well as the Double Rumble Simulator Pack (shakers)
@gametrak Thanks for the reply, I was having another look and I cant see the Double Rumble Simulator Pack included with the chair, have I picked you up wrong in thinking that is included?
Would it not be better to give users the option when they buy the chair as to what Slip Ring they want, I imagine the vast majority of people who are willing to invest in something like this will want to use with it with a Rift or Vive. I imagine the basic Slip Ring still costs a bit to make and for most people will just be replaced with the advanced one and never used, so having the option of which one you want could help cut costs a little bit.
I love the idea of the cockpit mode where rotation is limited to 5-10%, I can see this helping with motion sickness as some people I showed ETS 2 or P Cars felt weird as they expected to feel movement when they turned but didnt and that made them feel a bit ill. Will this work with pedals or is there an attachment planned to mount pedals so they will turn too?
I can see this being great for rollercoasters too, Ive always liked them but never felt immersed with VR rollercoaster simulators as there was no rumble or movement. I think you have an excellent product and it looks amazing too.
Hi Mambo, Many thanks for your supportive message. Actually the basic slip rings are almost 1/10th of the cost of the Advanced slip rings. We were getting lots of requests for Gear VR only, so it didn't feel right making them pay for features they didn't want / need. The double rumble simulator pack is also an optional extra. Thanks again
I am so close to clicking down on that order button, but I think it would be better with motorized pitch and roll as well. This would be the ultimate VR motion sim, assuming they add a pedal deck and side-mounted accessory options such as flight/hotas mounts as well. The table is cool, but I've tried similar options, and the proper center/side-mounted mounts make a huge difference in my opinion. I'm sure the full 6DOF model will be coming soon, so I will deny myself this particular order button for now. I think...
We love pitch / roll too, but it's super expensive and would make our product even more niche than a spinning chair:)
A nice idea and I will definitely look into your product once the price comes down a bit. 🙂
Anyhow, I'd suggest going over your homepage with a spellchecker a few times. Nothing ruins a professional impression like a spelling error. I quite enjoyed reading about Progtrammers and Avators. 🙂

Well... this looks awesome and is definitely on my radar...
I am wondering though, why is everything priced in $USD? Your address is in london, surely there's a GBP price too.. Although I haven't gone far enough through the checkout yet to see shipping costs (within the UK) and see if it converts at that point to GBP.. :smile:
Also, the only other issue I can see is using a wheel with a pedal setup.. rotating away from the pedals would be a bit hmmmmm.. but even so it still looks awesome 😞
