I was very excited about receiving my Playseats Evolution. It was pretty easy to assemble, and after fiddling around with it for a short while, I found a position for everything that was just about perfect.
But.
Since the steering column is only attached at one point to the base, it flexes a lot. Really amplifies the force feedback, which could be good, but just winds up being a little bit annoying. And, because that single attachment runs right between your feet, you can choose between either heel-toe braking OR left-foot braking. You cannot do both. And therein lies the rub. The designers foresaw this limitation and provided two different places to mount the pedals. But it's a work-around, and not a fix.
And there's no quick set method to employ the work-around. To move the pedals means first removing your pedal set from the rest, then moving the rest, and re-attaching the pedal set. It's almost 10 minutes of work to go back and forth between games that support the Logitech G25's clutch pedal.
If they were to simply change the steering column to make a loop around your legs, this wouldn't be a problem at all.
Finally, the seat material makes me sweat. A lot.
But it's a pretty good training seat, directly accepts the G25, lets me approximate the setup in my Spec Miata, and is light enough to move out of the way.Get more detail about Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat (Black with Silver).
