(More customer reviews)This is a great motion platform for flight simulation, and games. I use it with Flight Simulator X. It does not take as much motion as one might think to fool you into thinking you're really pitching and rolling in an aircraft. This is amazing because it's not a gimbal type motion platform. It's center mounted joy stick makes it feel as if you were flying a P-51 Mustang, or a fighter with a center stick. As you move the stick, the chair moves. That's cool!
4th Motion, the Gyroxus' manufacturer used the X-Box360 controller which has a rumble pack in it. The control arm does a nice job of conducting vibrations into the seat which can cause one to be forgiven for thinking the rumbler is inside the Gyroxus, but it's just coming from the hand controller. Pretty cool! :)
It was easy to assemble when it arrived. Only took about 20 minutes to put it together. Just put the feet on, seat back, and foot-rest, hook it up and away you go. :)

Gyroxus Full-Motion Control Video Game Chair with XBOX 360 ControllerReach a whole new level of control in video game play with 4th Motion\'s Gyroxus Full-Motion Video Game Controller chair for Xbox and games for Windows. Whereas playing video games has historically been considered a sedentary activity, the Gyroxus\'s innovative design encourages the player to physically get into the game, even burn calories, to achieve greater success with sports, racing, combat, and many other types of games. The chair\'s body features two main parts, the seat and the base. Over the base, the seat suspends at an angle to give the user a low-feeling pivot point, thus enabling a full range of motion. While playing racecar-style games, the player physically leans in the chair to lean into the virtual curves for more control on the road. Likewise, by bobbing and weaving in the chair during a fighting game, the player better defend against receiving a blow to the head.
The rugged construction supports a maximum 250-pound weight capacity. A hand control arm is mounted to the chair and moves forward and backward to permit optimum control. To ensure gaming comfort, a 4-foot long footrest allows user leg extension, while the seatback offers six different height settings to accommodate different gamer heights. The player\'s motions and energy provide all the power necessary to use the Gyroxus; the only cable that accompanies the game controller chair is the USB cable that connects to the Xbox console or PC. Upon delivery, the chair requires quick assembly and placement in a 3-by-5-foot space. The chair comes apart to store easily. A Gyroxus is also available for Playstation 3 systems. The assembled chair measures 48 inches long by 26-1/4 inches wide by 30-3/4 inches high and weighs 41 pounds. A limited one-year warranty covers this item.
