Amazon.com Product Description The ButtKicker BK-GR Gamer is awesome for gaming, computer entertainment, and digital music playback. This device works with all computer systems and all gaming consoles, and allows you to feel the low end of sounds without making the room overly loud. With the ButtKicker you can experience powerful bass even while you're using headphones. But what is it and how does it work? The ButtKicker is a small linear motor that reacts to an audio signal sent by an amplifier (the ButtKicker Gamer comes with its own 100-watt amplifier). It is similar to a loudspeaker, but instead of a moving a cone and transferring sound waves through the air, the ButtKicker Gamer is attached to your seat and sends a low frequency sound directly into your body. The effect is amazing. 
The ButtKicker Gamer allows you to feel the big bass of your favorite video games without disturbing the neighbors. | 
Attaching the Gamer is a breeze with the included Easy Clamp. View larger. | 
The BK-GR comes with everything you need. View larger. | The human body uses two senses to perceive full-range sound. We hear sound, but we also feel it, especially low frequencies. Traditionally it takes big speakers to move a tremendous amount of air for us to feel low frequency sound. That's why so many people love loud concerts -- they want to feel the music as well as hear it. The ButtKicker Gamer reproduces the feeling range of audio in a more direct way than through air movement. The perception is actually better, plus the sound pressure disappears (forget about ringing ears!). For example, when using headphones with the BK-GR, you'll still perceive powerful, musically accurate, concert-level audio, but no one else will hear anything. The ButtKicker Gamer can take your gaming experience to an awesome level without angering your neighbors. To get the full effect of exciting, action-packed video game titles you'd normally need a huge audio entertainment system that you could pump up to a disturbing-the-peace level. The ButtKicker Gamer solves the problem and adds the big bass sound without the giant, disruptive volume. Designed to be responsive and aggressive, the ButtKicker Gamer answers the need for both accurate low frequency response and maximum tactile effect. Digital music playback, gaming, and computer entertainment have never been so realistic or intense. Virtually indestructible and maintenance free, with a patented magnetic suspension system and a thermal switch for heat protection, the BK-GR provides tremendous power and longevity. For the workplace or home, the ButtKicker Gamer easily attaches to most standard center post chairs. And with the included "Easy Clamp" mechanism hooking up the ButtKicker Gamer is a breeze. Once the ButtKicker is attached, you'll feel the low end of sound without making the room unbearably loud. Turn down or turn off your subwoofer and you'll still be able to feel all the bass you want. And remember, you'll be able to experience powerful bass even while using headphones, making this an ideal addition to any apartment, dormitory, or condominium. What's in the Box ButtKicker BK-GR gamer, Easy Clamp attachment mechanism, 100-watt amplifier with optional standing feet, 13.5-foot cable, RCA and mini Y adapters, five-foot RCA-to-RCA cable, five-foot RCA-to-mini cable, and two Velcro cable ties.
Product Description Quickly and easily attached to most center post computer or office chairs, the ButtKicker Gamer makes video gaming, computer entertainment and digital music come to life. PC and video games, movies and music have never been so realistic or intense. Explosions, crashes and impacts can now be felt; providing an experience much closer to virtual reality. The ButtKicker Gamer allows the user to feel the action without cranking the sound because the low frequency (bass) sound is transferred to and stays within the chair to which the Gamer is attached.The Gamer is awesome for gaming, computer entertainment and digital music playback. Users can now feel the low end without making the room loud. They can turn the subwoofer down and still have all the bass they want and need.

Buttkicker does not install properly on the Playseat Evolution September 8, 2007 Edward P. Mcnamara (Chicago) 16 out of 20 found this review helpful
I'm glad others have been able to use innovative rigging to get the ill-fitting Buttkicker clamp on to the Playseat, but it should be stated clearly to anyone who is lead to order both products together based on Amazon's apparent endorsement: The Buttkicker clamp does not fit on any of the Playseat Evolution's support bars. The large main support beams are much too large and the pair of underside bars and much too small. You will end up jerry-rigging the device in some manner if you want it to work, but there is absolutely no way it will work out of the box as intended and there is nothing in the instructions or on Playseat's website to assist you in your make-shift solutions. Playseat and Buttkicker need to get together and offer an adapter or at least include a FAQ on their website for the many customers lead to purchase both at Amazon's urging.
disappointing March 3, 2006 Aaron E. Munn (Florida United States) 11 out of 16 found this review helpful
There is a fan on the amplifier that is just too noisy. It's louder than my PC. Granted, my PC is a low-noise design but it's still unacceptable.
the amplifier is way too noisy June 21, 2006 Thomas Mueller (United States) 11 out of 16 found this review helpful
The vibration effect is cool. However, the nose from the amplifier's 2 tiny high-pitch fans is annoying and drowns your regular audio.
It's great and kicks *ss! July 1, 2006 djjeroen (Tuckahoe NJ United States) 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Easy to hook up and works as advertised, now I can feel the music and live the movies! Splitter is included so you can connect subwoofer/speakers. Well worth the money.
great for pro drummers! December 30, 2005 Lee Godden (Long Beach, Calif., USA) 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I've been drumming professionally for 30 years. Sometimes on stage I can't hear my bass drum well enough, so I over-compensate and use my entire leg (left or right) instead of just my ankle to boost my perceived volume. This sometimes leads to leg/groin overuse/strain, which can affect my playing during a 1+ hour show. After buying/installing the Buttkicker Gamer on my drum throne, I can now FEEL my kick drum, and don't feel so compelled to strike the drum with a full-leg stroke ensure it's being heard. (Besides, that's the sound pro's job.) This $99 device keeps me working, with less pain, night after night, so, yes, I'd call it a good investment. LNG (www.telsius.com/drummer)
