About this deal

Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. New Racing Seat that Combines Affordability with Uncompromising Quality for Console and PC Users to Experience the Thrill of Racing at Home! For more information on the PlaySeat Challenge X – Logitech G Edition, please visit Logitechg.com/ChallengeX .

The Playseat Trophy – Logitech G Edition we reviewed has the following features and specifications: Enjoy the perfect balance between comfort and stability with the 6 seating positions of X-Adapt™. Fine-tune positions of pedals and wheel to replicate the feeling of being in a car. There was a considerable amount of collaboration on this product to make the Challenge X more functional, comfortable and overall, a better racing experience, than traditional desktop gaming chairs. During that process our teams focused on three key areas of a sim racing chair and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.” said Jim Hoey, head of simulation marketing at Logitech G. Looking from the side of the Playseat Trophy, the frame starts under the wheel plate and angles down at roughly 45°. The first leg, so to speak, is about 25″ in length before curving down into a rounded 90° corner for another 9 1/2″ before curving upward for another 27 1/2″ (extendable to ~32 1/2″) then a final 90° corner down for the final 24″ of the frame underneath the seat. At both the top by the wheel plate and under the seat, the main frame tubing curves inwards and joins together with the other half of the seat frame. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame.

Needs work

The Playseat® Trophy-Logitech G Edition offers racing enthusiasts the most immersive racing experience when paired with Logitech G Wheels and Pedals (Photo: Business Wire) STRENGTH & QUALITY - The patented and revolutionary design has set a new standard for the ultimate, immersive racing experience. The frame is made out of lightweight carbon steel and is developed to provide extreme rigidity. Durable powder coating finish, high-grade steel alloys, anodised aluminum parts, and the use of PU leather allow for unrivaled durability for in-home and professional use. This game-changing racing seat is capable of supporting the full range of Logitech G Wheel and Pedal products, including additional accessories by using add-ons. The pedal plate angle and tilt can be easily adjusted by loosening the four knobs on the sides of the pedal plate, again two on each side. This one was a bit easier to adjust once adequately loosened. The knob closest to the front of the frame has five different slots you can move it into while the knob closest to the actual seat slides along a single slot. Once positioned properly, tighten the knobs and you are good to go.

The Playseat Trophy – Logitech G Edition with the PRO Racing Wheel and Pedals enhances the racing experience. Comfortable sitting position made out Playseat® ActiFit™ material, allowing for many hours of racing without sweating 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. Compatible with all steering wheels and pedals on the market (Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec, etc.)

Nailed it

Overall, not only does the Playseat Trophy – Logitech G Edition look impressive, it is sturdy, comfortable, and really does off an immersive racing experience when coupled with the Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel and Pedals. Assembly The Logitech wheel features four paddles, with two gloriously tactile Hall effect shifters and two analogue paddles that could be used for the clutch or even brake/accelerate if you aren't able to use foot pedals. The wheel has a good number of additional buttons and dials, all of which are properly labelled to allow for easy menu navigation and access to all of the common racing sim functions (eg for F1: brake bias and differential adjustment, DRS/ERS deployment, pit speed limiters, race engineer communication, etc). So, is a seat frame worth it for racing games? In the past, I’ve gotten away with a simple wheel stand and based on the wheels I was using, it was more than suitable. However, with the direct drive wheel, something more substantial is definitely needed. When reviewing the PRO Wheel and Pedals, I found that it did tend to vibrate my computer desk or table when used on PC or Xbox. With the wheel stand, it wasn’t much better.

The unique and patented integrated design, features maximum performance, quality, and comfort into the Playseat® Trophy. Its cover is made out of breathable Playseat® ActiFit™ material, allowing for many hours of racing without sweating. The Playseat Trophy – Logitech G Edition pedal plate (right) has extra holes for better securing of the PRO Pedals (left image courtesy u/Scotty002H on Reddit).

One of the best ways to level up your sim racing setup.

Extra pieces These are complimentary parts; velcro to place between the frame and the floor, to avoid scratches and protect the floor if needed. The rubber rings are for the pedal plate screws, they can be placed here to add friction (at the expense of rigidity) and allow for easier on-the-fly adjustment of the pedal plate. Adjustment Logitech helps all people pursue their passions and is committed to doing so in a way that is good for people and the planet. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, Logitech International is a Swiss public company listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (LOGN) and on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (LOGI). Find Logitech G at logitechG.com, the company blog, or @LogitechG. The only major downside I identified during my testing was that Logitech's ecosystem isn't yet as developed as that of Fanatec, Thrustmaster or even Moza, all of which offer a wider range of wheel rims and pedals suitable for different racing series and player preferences, beyond Logitech's only expansion option, a single H-pattern shifter. Presumably we will see more rim, pedal and shifter options in future, but for now you're buying into what feels like a limited, early ecosystem. Compatible with all Direct Drive steering wheels (Logitech G, Fanatec, SimSteering, Heusinkveld, Simucube, etc.) While this next bit isn’t really performance-related, the Playseat setup definitely has an enjoyment factor. Not only for myself but for everyone who tried it including my teenage kids, their friends, and my 70-year-old father-in-law. The latter was the most enjoyable to watch as it was super easy to get an older person into the game by saying “hey, here’s a driving seat” as opposed to trying to explain how a controller works to them. His face really lit up once he got the hang of it and was ripping around Mexico in Forza Horizon 5. Price/Value

Through my first few laps around Silverstone, two factors become immediately clear, comfort and stability. Both can be chalked up to the Playseat Trophy’s unique frameless seat which, without the determinate restrictions of a moulded seat, shaped around me and let my body sit how it wanted. I felt well supported and as if the Trophy G Edition had welcomed me into the rig as a whole. ActiFit™️ MATERIAL– The Playseat® Trophy-Logitech G Edition racing seat allows racing enthusiasts, of any age or size, to experience the thrill of racing, just like in a real race car. This seat has been developed with Playseat®’s Innovative ActiFit™️ material, which comfortably conforms to your body to give you the best support and allows you to feel the full input from your Logitech G wheel products. The ActiFit™️ material also dissipates heat, allowing for racing in long stints without overheating. Equipped with gearshift mount, allowing you to upgrade your race experience with the Logitech G Driving Force Shifter.

Next up, the matching Pro Racing Pedals. The main draw here is that this three-pedal set includes a load cell brake pedal, which applies the brakes based on the force with which you push the pedal, rather than just how far the pedal travels. This subtle difference makes it easier to apply brake pressure consistently each time you arrive at a given braking zone, potentially saving you some lap time in the long run and feeling more realistic to boot.
