This fits neatly into the long list of Razer products where the software is more of an afterthought - beyond collecting your delicious personal data, of course.
@@megachonk9440 Yeah...no idea how these guys still exist, like everything they do someone else already makes better. And it doesnt have "MSI" syndrome.
im getting real sick of hardware that requires half baked software. i have a razer keyboard and mouse and they work perfectly fine without the software except i like the rgb to be very toned down and without the software you sometimes end up with rainbow vomit but then even with the software you do too. worse though is dell. i have alienware monitor and headphones and the monitor wants to install v6 of their software but the headphones arent supported in anything past v5 and you get stuck with rgb turned on when it consumes 50% of the battery. cant just uninstall that software like razer it automatically reinstalls itself.
I suspect bass shakers feel way more immersive even at inaudible volume levels due to rumbling the whole chair rather than just vibrating against your body.
There's no doubt about that. Something like this (implemented correctly) has it's usecase if a bass shaker shaking your entire rig could, or rather would, annoy your neighbours for example. Still, I'd say it's completely unnecessary.
@@noneofyourbusiness4294 Most things are completely unnecessary. And you most definitely don't buy a product like this out of necessity, either. You buy something like this because you have disposable income and are curious to try out the gimmicky technology for yourself and are okay with the associated risks of buying a product like this.
I have bass shakers (buttkickers) installed underneath my couch where my "tv pc" rig is and it's very nice. Then again, it's only audio based and I use it mostly for movies and such.
Something you might consider looking at for simracing with the haptic pad is a software called simhub. It allows you to use the telemetry from ingame and match it up to the vibration motors you can set it to engine revs, ABS, Traction control whatever you choose and adjust the values of each it may work with the razor pad and its worth a look considering the software is free.
That's some loose suspension though and couldn't handle a family of 5 which would weight way into the 200s. 136KG is these days just a regular obese tall guy. People on mobility scooters and those who's geometry approaches that of a sphere, you are talking about someone way fatter than 136kg, closer to 200. I'd call that to be the "absurd amount."
It depends on where you're from. 85 KG is the mean weight here in the UK for example, while in the US 90 KG is the mean weight (for men). Of course, this isn't counting people who are over 6 foot tall and play sports, as apparently, for SOME reason, 130 KG is a "healthy" weight for them. No I'm being serious, some people actually think that. Even though they have a belly like a Buddha and moobs. That sure sounds healthy.
@@Deja117Shaquille O'Neal was 330 lbs (~150 kgs) when he was at his peak of physical fitness, he didn't have an ounce of excess fat at the time. To be fair, at 7'2" (~ 220cm) he's not exactly an average sized man, and he was also far above average in muscle mass (both absolute and relative). But my point is that... ummm.... these are facts that I know, and now you know them too. No need to thank me.
Items like these remind me of Nintendo and Sega accessories of the 90s when I grew up. Just random pieces of "tech" that was sold to you with promises of becoming a gaming deity.

@@yaniv_akrishI came here to say this. I once had a guy near Christmas (when I couldn't get his preferred model of monitor in stock) threaten to break my legs. I referred his complaint to my supervisor, who was an ex-boxer.
This is the only use case I can see unless they sync the haptics to the music, but I'm not sure how many people would like to feel haptics that are synced to music... it'd be very distracting @@slateslavens
Microsoft Flight sim pilots love this stuff. I don't have it, but they say it actually helps you fly better, feel the landing, feel flight controls, etc....
I immediately thought you would try racing games only to find them sub-par, and then go on to reveal the "ultimate" use case - horror games. I think it may have some potential for very jumpscare based games for more scary immersion.
Im following you from a long time! And in satisfied with every video of yours ! Haven't watched Linus from a long time Need more pure people like you in UA-cam.. Will be a better place to relax 😊
The reason they aren't pushing it for sim racing is likely the fact that better specialized solutions already exist so they don't want to actively compete.
Glad you brought Tarkov back into the testing rotation. I had a similar thought as you for use case when I saw snow runner as coming soon and thought about truck driving sims and racing sims being a great use case.
Just get the Next Level Racing HF8 Haptic pad. It's almost half the price, more motors, more compatibility and you don't have to give a slimy company like Razor your money.
Random haptic accessories started showing up and failing what like 10+ years ago, yet big companies still think it's a good idea to push more out without making the investment into large scale game support.
In this episode, Dawid tries out Razer's latest vibrating strap on product! Also, Why is PC building simulator going to have haptics?! I'm not sure I've ever had real world feedback on my cheeks when building a PC...
I am a simple man, I see a Dawid video, I click on the Dawid video, and proceed to watch the Dawid video. I then gently caress the like button on said Dawid video until the button is satisfactorily pressed. I am a simple man.
Never been impressed with Razer stuff, I swear they just make utter junk. I've bought some of their products and they always disappointed. Great video as always though lol!
Can it be controlled through Simhub? Simhub is usually go to software to control all kinds of generic haptic devices for simracing, it has a ton of premade effects for triggering ABS, traction control, wheelspin etc, could be worth a try.
I just want to say your channel got me through some truly depressing time in my life and living in Zimbabwe well you know I just want to say I really appreciate your channel and your work more blessings to you
Have you ever thought of doing any tarkov streaming?Would love to see how your tarkov experience is. It's been such a love/hate relationship type of game for me.
that is actually how cars behave. on lower rpm, there is a lot of rumbeling, but it goes away the further the rpm climb, cuz the rotational forces stabilizes the engine and the vibrations go so fast, that the car has less time to move about, so it just turns into noise
Sim racing is the best use case for this, but also try it with a space sim like Elite Dangerous or Star Wars Squadrons. My cockpit has bass shakers in the seat and using it in VR is incredibly immersive.
Back in the early 90's there was a arcade game called Steel talons. Was a combat heli sim. Had a speaker in the back of the seat that would thump your back when you'd been hit. I spent many a quarter on that game.
I'm actually looking forward to streamers doing challenges where they play horror games with the haptic pad using the audio to haptic function. Let the high-pitched screaming intensify!
I think its could work really well in horror games like Outlast. I could see myself hiding in a locker and the haptics actuating with the footsteps of the big baddie getting more and more intense as they get closer.
When I was building my sim rig some of the parts took awhile to get delivered so I used the buttkicker on my gaming chair for a month or so. It was pretty awesome to feel the horse galloping in RDR2.
Razer could probably fix the sound enabled mode by messing with compressors and noise gates in their software. Then, stuff like footsteps and quiet music won’t be loud enough to trigger vibrations but gunshots and explosions will
You gotta try a proper bass shaker, even one made with a cheap amp and a dayton shaker. You can use simhub to sync the bass shaker to what the car is doing. You can get actual useful information like vibration when you get tire slip. Or tire lock up in a car that doesnt have abs.
I run a Woojer Vest for more immersive music listening/gunfights in certain games. That works a lot better than having it buzz my ENTIRE CHAIR and the fact that it's basically six subwoofers strapped to me instead of these goofy phone vibrators mean I can actually pick the definition up for audio-based stuff. VR is the main market that haptics are actually selling to right now and it seems to be a toss-up between mechanical, audio-based mechanical, and electrostim feedback.
Get one of those bass shakers and do a comparison. Since it only vibrates during low frequencies, they'll probably be disappointing, but maybe you can find a use case.
The only things that can increase immersion is one of those seats that lift up, shake, swerve, and basically makes you feel liike you are in the car. Of course, it is total overkill (both the chair and this haptic cushion) when you favorite game is Satisfactory!
Can't believe we've had it all figured out for Force Feedback in the early 2000s by sending a Midi Signal to the controller... and now we've regressed so far that "Everything feels the same, theres no distinction as to whats happening"
The buttkicker will give you feedback when you shift, hit the rumble strip, grass, reving engine etc. Also you get sliders in the buttkicker software to adjust each variable.
To be fair bass transducers like the buttkicker were originally meant for like home theaters and cars, while your driving down the road with all of the vibrations and through a metal chair frame and all of that padding etc. I am sure they are more specifically designed for gaming now, but if you buy a real buttkicker for like a car, yeah it will vibrate tf out of a racing setup like that. Honestly they kind of sucked in a car so using them for a stationary seat to simulate the shaking of driving makes way more sense than they did back in the early 2000s for cars or home theaters, honestly they sucked for home theatre uses too. The only good use case I'd see for them would be a racing sim setup.
When I saw the advertisement for this, I knew immediately that I am never going to waste my money on it. Razer already has a crap reputation for 'Develop then Discontinue' I can't see them changing for this pad.
I use this thing called a "buttkicker" that just *directly* uses the audio. I find it works best for listening to music, but while gaming it also functions. Granted it does get a *little* muddy whenever a lot is going on, but I find it works best when you tune it to only activate when those big low frequencies hit. Its very situational, you have to adjust it basically constantly. 10:08 yeah that. 10:48 ehhhh not necessarily. It depends on how you have it set up. If you want the chair to *physically shake* then sure. But if you just want a little tickle then it wont hurt the floor.
Given I've got an old Aura Interactor hooked up to my .1 channel, it might be an improvement. Also, I wonder how it would fit on a Razer Iskur v1. For the record, Dawid, your voice is tingling my lower back.
The Razer logo made me think of Starship Invasions, a 1977 made in Canada sci fi cheapy starring Christopher Lee as a evil alien leading an invasion of Earth. opposed by good guy aliens and Robert Vaughan as an Earth scientist. The baddies have a lizard/dragon thing on their bodysuits that looks like the same person designed it. Not recommended unless you really love low budget '70s Canadian movies or have to see everything Lee has done.
If you are in a real car, the RPMs increase in pitch as they climb, they do not descend, which means you would feel less vibration as the RPMs climb... Just putting that out there.
Can't wait to play PC Build Simulator 2 with haptic feedback. I hope they get the back pain from being hunched over a PC case just right.
I noticed that too! What the hell?
I'm really looking forward to feeling the tiny but soul shattering "clink" as a fan mount screw falls off the tip of your screwdriver, bounces off the interior of the case and gets lost under the (already installed) motherboard. That's what's missing from gaming.

Not recommended unless you really love low budget '70s Canadian movies or have to see everything Lee has done.
My car buzz's my seat when I'm about to hit something and after almost 2 years it still startles me sometimes.
Why not simply intercept the vibration signal from joysticks, or the steering wheel?
think about it
Now we need to see you try the proper high end sim racing haptic products
If you are in a real car, the RPMs increase in pitch as they climb, they do not descend, which means you would feel less vibration as the RPMs climb... Just putting that out there.
