5 Stars Full GWN Review (Editor Choice Award)
Review by James Pikover (Game World Network Magazine Jul 7, 2008)

Racing Chair, which isn’t just a gaming chair. It goes above and beyond the call, making way for racing games and flight simulators as well. It can do almost whatever you want, and more peripherals and parts are being made to be used for it.

The PRC has many things to look over, and it will be reviewed on certain key points: comfort, versatility, add-on’s, and extended use. I’ve had the pleasure of using the PRC for nearly two months, the entire time with an open dialog with the developers, giving direct feedback on the chair.

Nothing is more important than comfort when gaming. It’s bad enough that there are so many distractions that can take away the experience just from the game itself, but outside distractions are significantly worse. If players find themselves getting more comfortable consistently while playing, there is obviously a problem.

The PRC is one of the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in, gaming or otherwise. Its unique shape is absolutely perfect; the upright seat allows for proper posture with the correct leverage. The many hours I spent in the chair never once left me uncomfortable or moving about to get more comfortable.

This is both with and without the optional cushion, but I would recommend getting the cushion as well. Because of the shape of the seat, it isn’t odd to feel like resting your head against the seat, which feels much better with the cushion. The cushion is also easier on bare skin.

Every single person who sat in the PRC, regardless of height, weight or body type, said it was extremely comfortable. Like the bucket seat of a racing car, it forces the person to sit all the way in the seat and lean back, which is the most comfortable position to be in. The cushion attaches to the seat in quite a few ways, but clips on the ends can and have scratched very easily around the legs. I don’t know why it needs to be connected in so many ways to the chair, but the two front connectors can leave gamers bloodied.

The rear stabilizers fit in perfectly, but like the front ones have a tendency to fall off while being moved.

However, the comfort of the seat depends on the gaming situation as well. While playing on the Wii, I found the PRC to be restrictive to gameplay because it is made to keep your arms snuggly in place. The Wii, of course, requires the arms to move, so playing Wii games such as Mario Kart Wii don’t work well in it.

For PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 gaming, the PRC was perfect. It was also very well suited for movie and TV viewing, though because it’s so low to the ground, the only place to hold snacks or the controller is on the floor or an equally low platform.

Versatility is also an important point to recognize. Putting the chair together was easy even without the instructions, though some of the extra parts can confuse if not explained. For instance, several tethered ropes come with the seat to hold the legs together, even though they are built to be attached to the actual seat. However, testing showed that without the rope, the legs would slowly move apart, and that having the rope in place would keep them from spreading apart.

Depending on which optional parts purchased, the PRC can be made fully customizable. On its own, the PRC is a half rocking chair; the front legs are rockers and the back legs are, well, legs. This makes it perfectly safe to lean back far because the chair will stop at a certain point. Simultaneously, I’ve found it comfortable to recline fully while gaming, which has never been so easily accessible in a chair before.

owever, there are those who undoubtedly wish to buy the full spec, with racing add-ons and all, will be very pleased to receive even more options. Front stabilizers, made specifically to keep the seat from rocking forward and to house the controller stand. In terms of seating, I found the most comfortable way was to use both front stabilizers while reclining fully, so that if I didn’t want to lean back anymore, the front stabilizers would keep the seat in place.

On its own, the PRC is fairly versatile, but with all the extra parts, it becomes a powerchair for nearly any use.

Other add-ons include rear stabilizers, meant to be used in conjunction with the front stabilizers to make the seat completely immobile. They are used specifically for racing, because the last thing that should happen during a race is your seat rocking back and forth.

The real treat, however, is the controller stand. Made to house any racing wheel, the 10″ or 20″ wooden panel clips worked well with several different racing wheels without fuss. Its implementation is somewhat tacky, but it works properly regardless. Setup is easy; just put the controller stand under the right slit on the front stabilizers (which slit is used depends on where you want the wheel to be, either farther or closer to you). Finally, hook the small rope, which is capable of holding 250 pounds, to the chair’s hook and pull the lever.

Racing on the PRC is a blast. After finding the best placement for the racing wheel and locking the controller stand in place, it stays in place and strong. Turning the wheel like you would in a car is fine. On occasion, I found that the latch would come loose, but the wooden panel remained strong and the pole didn’t dislodge

Over the course of my two months with the PRC, I’ve come to love it, and I can prove it. As they say, you don’t appreciate something until it’s gone, and when I moved it into the room with the Wii and was forced to play on the couch while others tried it out, I was devastated. It was nearly impossible to get comfortable, even on my couch. Nothing was suitable for gaming.

As a gaming chair, the Precise Racing Chair is excellent, combining comfort, style and usability. As a racing chair, it hits greatness with fine-tuned parts that add on well. Sure all the add-ons are somewhat tacky and cheap-looking, but they all work and keep the price down to a reasonable cost. Once you sit in this chair, you will not want to give it up.

Highs

Very comfortable and durable, easy to build, versatile, has lots of different add-ons; racing scheme is perfect for racing titles and keeps the wheel steady; set of wrenches makes proper controller stand alignment simple.

Lows

Some sharp edges, most add-ons connect is a cheap-looking manner and can have sharp edges; latch at times comes loose during gameplay.

Final verdict

One of the best gaming chairs I’ve ever sat in. Perfect for PS3 and 360 gamers for anything, and also for racing simulators all around.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Works Properly, Just Ugly
As a cheap headset, it works perfectly. I just don’t really like the aesthetics of it. It is comfortable though.

5 Stars The kids love it
I purchased two of them for my boys. They seem to love them. They say it’s much better than the Microsoft one that they originally were using. We had one of the Microsoft headsets fall apart.

5 Stars works very well
I got this from plantronics and they were very good with it. It works so much better than the one x box gives you. Mine broke due to my own fault and I sent it back and got a new one within a week. Everything went really smooth and I highly recommend this item to save money instead of buying a wireless headset.

1 Star A complete waste of money
This item worked perfectly for about 8 hours, then it died. The headset has a loose wire in it somewhere and connects intermittently. It was gently used by me only, no rough housing, no use by children, not dropped or otherwise misused.

I found an old Uniden headset without a volume or mute control and it works perfectly as an Xbox 360 headset. I strongly suggest you not buy this item.

2 Stars Good until it broke after one month
The headset works great until about a month after opening the package. I was playing with my friend on GTA 4 and it just cut out and didn’t work anymore. I got so pissed I tore it apart. I big waste of $20.
