LAUSANNE, Switzerland & SAN JOSE , Calif., – Sept. 26, 2023 – Today, Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOG), and Playseat introduced the newest sim racing chair, the Playseat Challenge X – Logitech G Edition. Designed for Logitech G racing wheel and pedals, this new chair is a lightweight, foldable carbon steel frame and features a fully adjustable seat with Playseat’s Actifit™️ breathable materials, providing sim racers with a racing chair that delivers exceptional comfort, versatility, durability and the performance needed to stay fully immersed in the race. You get a mount for your pedals, wheel, and even your handbrake or shifter too, and each of these is adjustable to suit your specific racing style. You also get a 14-way adjustable seat that you can position in just about any way you can imagine! You can only adjust the angle of the wheel independently, not its distance from you or its height. It sits on a plastic ratcheting system that lets you alter the angle quite dynamically. This seems a bold choice on Playseat’s part when the simplicity of the frame design seems to be here to maximise structural integrity. It works fine, but does introduce some up-down flexion that otherwise would not be here.

At first glance, the Playseat Challenge doesn't scream comfort. Compared to a number of other racing chairs, even those like the Evolution we previously looked at from the same manufacturer, it looks a bit odd. Instead of sitting bolt upright, you sink into the seat. But it works. It really does. The most expensive rig in this list is the Pro Simrig PSR3. It’s far from entry-level but is probably the cheapest rig you can buy that’s made from aluminium profiles. This means that it’s really, really strong, has nearly zero movement when under heavy load and can handle the strongest of direct drive wheelbases.There’s room on the Playseat Challenge for your pedals too, of course. They sit on foam-lined metal frame bars that curl up at the end, to avoid you pushing the pedal set off into the distance when you depress the brake. I read the other day in a Youtube video, about not a good choice to use the CSL DD 8nm on a playseat Challenge... because He said, you will lose a lot of the feelings. The metal frame has a free-twisting hinge at its middle, and Playseat uses a series of chunky velcro pads to both attach the seat part and stop the whole thing from collapsing to the floor. See those almost armrest-like parts to each side? They are heavy-duty velcro pads that hold the chair up.

It takes no effort to do. There's nothing more than a simple scissor action that folds the whole thing together. It's about 5.5 feet tall when closed, but that's a whole lot more manageable than having it permanently occupy your front room.Console/PC Compatibility PC, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Wii, XBox, Xbox 360, Xbox One For more information on the PlaySeat Challenge X – Logitech G Edition, please visit Logitechg.com/ChallengeX . This is a good option for those that want a comfortable seat with adjustable mounting options. It's designed to be easy to set up, and it's a comfortable choice for longer sim racing sessions. There’s also (you guessed it) an optional velcro strap that can be used to more firmly cement the board to the metal runners.
