Get Your Butt Kicked

The editors at ExtremeTech have reviewed the ButtKicker Gamer, a device, or motor that is, that straps below your chair and shakes when it receives audio info from games, music, or another source.

eh... Aura tried this almost a decade ago with the Aura Interactor (except they had it in either a backpack, or a pillow) and it failed then, I can't see it doing any better now.


FYI the review is somewhat wrong, it's not a motor as such, but just a heavy driver coil (basically a large speaker without the cone section that makes sound.)

I think its quite interestion ... but the power requirements are pretty much high and I think such thing would really make sense when integrating it into the chair
or better creating a buttkicker chair

This may be funny "toy" for a short time, but I think you'll get mad when gaming over hours. In important clanwar matches it is just annoying. Not worth to buy...try it for few days and give it back
