Playseat® Evolution Pro - Alcantara

I like it. So do the cats. It’s comfy and pretty well adjustable for larger and smaller folk. And it can take one of those shaker rig attachments under the seat I believe, which might be a good upgrade if you have the cash. And it takes the rather excellent Fanatec wheels and pedals a treat. I have the F1 set but with the 3 pedal setup as well as the two pedal F1 setup, for when you need to heel & toe etc.There are only two downsides, hence 4 stars:The first is that the structure isn’t 100% rock steady. It’s close but not quite - a bit too much flexibility in the frame. If you’re smaller or more gentle, then maybe it would be better - smooth is fast of course - but it just lacks serious solidity. Brothers.The second and more major inconvenience for me is the central “pillar” holding the steering wheel. It runs right from the wheel down to the floor, so you need to choose - if you ever want to use three pedals - whether you put the brake on the left side of the divider, for left foot braking, or on the right hand side if you want to heel & toe. It’s either/or, and that’s a pain. You can of course start to dismantle the pedal set and remove and shift the brake and maybe add/remove the clutch, but you’re not going to want to do that every time you shift from Dirt Rally to F1 2018.The solution of course would be two central pillars, either side of the pedal set, which would immediately open up the pedals so you can simply slide the brake to one side or the other - a 30 second job - rather than have to dismantle it, and would simultaneously increase rigidity.If you’re going to stick to a 2 or a 3 pedal setup however, and you go a bit gentle with the wheel and more importantly the pedals (the Fanatec brake pedal is a beast - very realistic, you do have to hit it hard and then you get the flex from the “footwell”) then it’s very good. Subject to the above I’d recommend it.

The Chair itself was fine, delivered in a very very poor state, some scratches to the paintwork but the main issue is that the holes to mounth my Logitech pedals are our by a few mm, forcing me to cross thread soem of the fixings just to get it to stick, even though playwear claim to fit all steering wheels / pedals on the market, and given the Logitech is a very popular one I did not expect to have this issue but at the same time I knew complaininf would not change anything as these are mass produced and my one complaint would not change that.

Nice seat, good paint finish on steel work, but the mounting unit for pedals should be better.

Will take a six foot adult

Der Sitz ist gut verarbeitet und auch nach 300 Stunden machen sich noch keine Abnutzungserscheinungen bemerkbar. Anfangs knarzte der Stuhl beim draufsetzen und aufstehen leicht, konnte ich aber mit etwas WD40 beseitigen.Der Sitz riechte anfangs auch nicht großartig negativ - muss man ja leider dazu sagen da sowas immer gerne vorkommt.Leider musste ich für mein FANATEC CSL ELITE PS4 drei Löcher bohren um es anschrauben zu können. War aber dank Bohrschablone kein großes Thema und in ner Viertelstunde erledigt.Den einen Stern Abzug gibt es aber für die Tatsache dass die Mittelstange für die Pedalerie etwas im Weg umgeht.Für mich ist das aber kein Problem da ich meine Pedale frei nach links und rechts verstellen kann. Somit geht mir die Stange nun nicht mehr im Weg um und Alles ist gut. Erwähnen sollte man diesen Umstand dennoch, da es halt nicht ideal ist. (So wie beim Raceroom Sitz, der dafür aber andere Nachteile mit sich bringt)Insgesamt ein super Sitz in dem man viele Stunden Spielspaß haben kann. Komfort war jedenfalls von Anfang an perfekt und auch an Tagen an denen ich 10 Stunden darin verbracht habe, gab es nie Rückenschmerzen oder sonstiges.
