OpenWheeler GEN3 Racing Wheel Stand Cockpit Green on Black | Fits All Logitech G923 | G29 | G920 | Thrustmaster | Fanatec Wheels | Compatible with Xbox One, PS4, PC Platforms

Ill start off with the positives. The chassis is solid and top quality. The customizability is great is you have a racing wheel, its shifter, a HOTAS, and maybe a bass shaker. The customer service is top notch, theres actually back and forth texting between me and the sales rep - which is crazy. I gather its a new, small company. They sent out their beta HOTAS parts to me FOR FREE. I thought it was going to arrive with the main product but it didnt. When I told them I had made plans to have people over to enjoy it that weekend they overnighted the extra parts FOR FREE so it was able to arrive in time. Amazing, really. Now for the negatives, which is really being nitpicky. I wanted to be able to hot swap the racing wheel and HOTAS peripherals, and in order to do that I had to get additional cables to zip tie to each component/part. No fault of theirs considering the number of possible peripheral combinations and still acheive easy knock down. Just be prepared to do the same if you want to really make it a fast swap or setup/storage. Its tought to get in and out of the seat with the steering wheel. You can easily loosen the steering wheel frame, but when I did that I accidently tensioned my shifter cable too much that was zip tied to the frame and unplugged it from the steering wheel (I have a Logitech G920). I then had to unbolt the steering wheel from its plate to plug the shifter back in - which was kind of a pain. The plate hides the steering wheel wires nicely, but I think Id like an access hole more just in case that happened again. This was before I got the additional cables for the quick disassembly (which I think will fix that issue). But I know that an access hole will limit the plates compatibility, maybe have multiple plates depending on the steering wheel make/model? To make it easier to get in and out of the chair I first suggested and hinge/lock joint at the base of the steering wheel post. They said they have tried that and it compromises the structural integrity (which I agree). Then I suggested grab bars either on the horizontal tube or two on the vertical steering wheel post. They seemed to like that idea, so who knows if that will be on there on a future version. Lastly, the chair itself is too firm for my taste. And the shape of the back makes for poor back support. I plan on getting a lumbar support pillow. After a half hour my back was getting a little sore (although I admit I have a bad back). But hopefully the firmness of the chair will mean it will last longer, which considering this is not exactly a cheap product I appreciate the potential longevity. Anyways, the construction is great quality and I think it will last. It feels pretty well thought out and I like the versatility. With additional cables I dont think it can get a whole lot better without spending a great deal more money and sacrificing mobility/conveinience. And if they keep up the same level of customer service I think this will continue to be a good product for its target consumer.

Absolutely love the seat and it has enhanced my iRacing experience. It is very easy to put together and is very sturdy. It does sit very low (literally on the ground) and the lift bars are a must. It can be a little difficult to get in and out depending on how far you like your pedals and what height you like wheel, but I like a compact setup . Overall its a great product and Im very happy with my purchase.

This item took a little longer to put together than they said it would but once together it was great. We had a problem with the color ordered but once reported, the company fixed it right away at no cost to me. I would recommend this product.

Easy to assemble and I liked that it came with tools. Kudos to OpenWheeler for making such a detailed instruction manual which includes color photos. The adjustability is great for the pedals, wheel, and seat; but I wish there was more adjustability for the shifter, it feels very far away and more height would be nice too. Im using the g29 setup and it bolted up perfectly using the hardware provided. The seat is comfortable for a sim seat, it seems well made but well see how it wears over the next few years. Im excited to see how it is when I hook my flight sim controls up to it. Overall a great buy, I just wish it was a little cheaper.

Overall this is a great entry level cockpit, but there are some things I wish I had considered beforehand. Pros: Great Quality Pretty sturdy (if using entry or mid-level gear) Easily and quickly adjustable Lightweight Takes up very little space and can be split in half just by loosening the bottom bar for easy storage. The flexibility of this rig is the best part. The seat is high quality and very comfortable, and Im happy with how easy it is to move it. It doesnt have to be a permanent part of my room. Now for some cons that I should have realized beforehand: The adjustable nature means that needs to be readjusted somewhat frequently. For instance, if you have a heavy brake (such as the conical mod or load cell brakes), then after a couple hours on road courses youll find that the rig has extended about half an inch. Easy to adjust at a pit stop, but a bit annoying. The bar in the middle makes it difficult and uncomfortable to use a 3 pedal setup as the middle bar blocks your brake. I work around this by adjusting the pedals further to the right (which this rig gives you room to do), but that means I cannot left foot brake. Its not a deal breaker for me, but I do wish I had more flexibility with my legs. I doubt that the center post will support a direct drive wheel. It also does not go up high enough when you get the optional lift kit, which can be a little annoying in VR since my arms are well below what im seeing. Overall I like this rig, but weigh the pros and cons first so you know what youre getting.

Its comfortable and sturdy. Its clearly well-made and asthetically pleasing. Moreover, the ease of assembly is a direct reflection of the instructions. The written instructions are not on a sheet of paper from a copier; they are in a full-color booklet....actually, its two booklets. Each step includes color photos, clear and concise directions and options for any variation that may be needed. The included hardware is a symphony of organization (Im a retired science teacher--geeky? Yes.). Each step that requires hardware refers to the exact bag needed. Each bag is labeled, numbered, inventory listed on it....I could go on and on just about their ability to bag and tag. They include the metric wrenches you will need to complete the project....real wrenches! You will keep these in your tool box. Ok, Im done. Its great.

When I received my unit, the plastic cover to the recliner spring had broken in shipping. I contacted the seller and they were able to quickly send me a replacement FedEx next-day. This seat is sturdy, and comes with everything you could need to set it up. Even down to the little things like including felt pads for moving on a hard floor, and velcro pads for attaching accessories (I used some to easily attach a USB hub). All the bolts, washers, screws, etc. for mounting each brand of wheel, pedals, or shifter are all individually packaged and labeled, and they make sure you have all the wrenches and hex wrenches you need to assemble everything.

Very solid. Works great and comfortable.

Very easy to put together using for all my Sim racing games

I searched around for months, reading reviews and messages boards looking for a inexpensive way to get into a racing/flying rig. As luck would have it I visited a friend who had the Openwheeler V1 and he let me take it for a spin. My decision was made after I saw the price. I purchased the V2 and was blown away by the quality of everything, from the manual to the fabrication. It even comes with a tool bag with every tool you need for assembly. Best of all, it’s modular so I was able to upgrade over time. I honestly cannot thing of anything negative about it. I do recommend a lumbar pillow if you plan on spending hours in the seat. One thing to note, they sell several config upgrades. If you have very specific hardware you plan on running, give them a call and they will make sure you get the right pieces/brackets/hardware. Their customer service is the best I’ve ever worked with.
