ButtKicker Gamer PLUS
Best haptic feedback for immersive gaming experiences.
The ButtKicker Gamer PLUS is an upgraded haptic transducer designed to bring immersive and accurate feedback to sim racing, flight simulation, and gaming. It reproduces effects from in-game audio, such as engine dynamics or footsteps, providing tactile immersion without needing to increase overall volume. Unlike subwoofers, it moves actual mass for powerful and precise feedback. Easily attachable to most gaming chairs and sim rigs using its universal clamp or mounting feet, it's ideal for gaming chairs and small to medium sim rigs. For enhanced sim racing, ButtKicker HaptiConnect offers deeper in-game integration.

Know before you buy
While a subwoofer moves air to create sound waves, the ButtKicker moves physical mass to create tactile vibrations. This allows you to feel game effects like engine rumble or footsteps directly through your seat without needing to turn up your audio volume.
The Gamer PLUS includes a universal mounting clamp designed to fit most standard gaming chairs and smaller sim rigs. If your chair has a unique base design, you can also use the included mounting feet for a stable setup.
The device works out of the box by converting your game's audio signal into haptic feedback. However, for sim racing enthusiasts, you can use the optional ButtKicker HaptiConnect software to unlock deeper, game-specific telemetry data for more precise feedback.
Yes, the system is fully compatible with headphones. Since the device relies on the audio signal from your PC or console, you can keep your audio output set to your headset while the ButtKicker handles the tactile feedback.
The 90-watt amplifier is optimized for the Gamer PLUS transducer and is ideal for gaming chairs and small-to-medium sim rigs. If you are using a very large, heavy-duty professional rig, you may want to consider a higher-powered model.
The transducer must be wired to the included amplifier, and the amplifier connects to your audio source. While the remote control is wireless for easy volume adjustments, the unit itself requires a stable wired connection to your gaming setup.
