Honestly you can get so much more bang for your buck, this is the VR haptic rig I built 6 years ago for my father with an Arduino and control board, with 10 SimHub controlled rumble motors (8 built in and 2 for peddles), and 2 X 50w transducers: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/teddles-vr-haptic-rig.13821/#post-231405

Sick project!

If you like the budget haptic rig for my father then check out my compact 3DOF motion rig, built over a decade ago specifically for VR and still going strong: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/dx-compact-simulator.5866/

Plus even more extravagant DIY rigs, of all types: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

300 bucks for a vibrating cushion, Razer sure pumps out some shit.

I think I got the last bit of their non-functional crap ~~software~~ spyware and its myriad invasive tendrils off my computer, but I’m not 100% certain. All I wanted to do was program some mouse buttons.

Is there an SD version for a lower price?

That’s called mounting a subwoofer to your chair.

If you want to get fancy, you can get a bass shaker. It's like a subwoofer, but without the speaker cone. They shake your seat without producing deafeningly loud sound.

"Giving you an almost whole-body tactile sensation with everything that happens in-game."

We already have this. (somewhat NSFW)
