CORRECTION: At 9:14 Colton says that the D-BOX Coded-Video library requires an additional $10/month subscription, but if you buy a Motion 1 chair, you get a lifetime subscription which includes 2500+ codecs for movies, TV shows, and songs.

[@TheSolidSnakeOil]

A chair with usb, firmware, a subscription and RGB. Yup, that there is definitely a gamer chair.

[@midnight3232]

[@Vortex001_MLG]

Why does it even need a subscription? Wtf?

[@orlagh277]

[@ShachMaT2]

Sign of our times. I actually would advise to boycott this "product"

[@user-el5lt9sd5t]

Imagine paying $2500 for a glorified rocking chair AND a $10 subscription. Literally, what is the content they are updating constanly so that it justifies a subscription model on top of the ridiculous price.

[@IIIIIIIlII]

The only content they are updating with this is the numbers in their bank account

[@blindfire3167]

Not that I agree with the subscription, but if you've never been to a movie theater D-Box, I highly recommend trying it. Although not perfect, it's similar to a Universal Studios "Simulated Ride" where it'll tilt you to make it feel like you're going fast/falling/etc, and vibrate with each impact. Me and my GF tried it when GoTG3 came out, any time they were in a space ship, it would slowly circle around to make it feel like you were weightless in space. Any action movie is pure gold with these chairs in my opinion...but the "Gaming" chair I don't recommend, even though the regular chair is twice the price, it seems like it has more punch with way less noise.

[@nonamebrand1633]

I haven't finished the vid yet but I watched Dave2D's vid. I think it adds more game support or something? Like custom motion/vibration models for different games and more specifically different cars (cuz this is basically a worse sim racing motion rig) Edit: still insane tho

[@user-el5lt9sd5t]

​@@blindfire3167I'm more concerned that you're supposed to be paying a premium price tag for a supposedly premium gaming sim chair, when in reality you're getting a mediocre gaming chair and a mediocre gaming sim. You're way better off getting a good chair and a good sim instead, even if it is a bit more expensive.

[@blindfire3167]

@@user-el5lt9sd5t Yeah I agree, the chair is just a "Well we made it cheaper and for gamers!" attempt but by making it cheaper they made it 3x worse than the theater seat they've been working on for over a decade now. Even bigger insult is actually charging a sub to USE it's precoded movie/games...which I get isn't exactly easy to do, but when the original theater seat costs like $4200+ (which I'll still recommend) you'd think all of that comes with it since you're paying over double what you'd get for this garbage "gaming chair" or AT LEAST allowing people to make their own profiles and share them...but of course, Businesses have to ruin everything "We need to make as much money as possible off people, nickel and dime everything so we (execs) can pocket the money and ruin the economy...but at least I'll have my 3rd yacht with my 8th golden toilet attached to it!"

[@gezafisch4030]

not having a gas cylinder for height adjustment on a $2000 chair is appalling

[@niqhtt]

Hmm... gas cylinder is just a shock.. shocks are used to absorb motion... like on your car...

I’m impressed just how terrible this product is. The height adjust is a joke, the noises it makes it completely unacceptable… and you need to subscribe to use your chair, plus it costs $2300?! This is probably the worst product cooler master has ever created. Colton should be fired for this.

[@Cyba_IT]

Ikr. How hard is it to put a gas strut on there like a million other office/gaming chairs. Having it threaded on is just ridiculous.

[@redavatar]

@@Cyba_IT A gas strut has a dampening effect - they want the vibrations to travel through the chair so they used a screw which doesn't dampen. Still, it's a terrible product.

[@tiduszk]

Imagine paying $2300 for a chair that doesn’t even rotate

[@alphastratus6623]

It cannot rotate without loosing the direction. Because motion is in the base.

[@AltonV]

It has wheels so it can rotate that way

[@Noobochok]

@@alphastratus6623 ever heard of rotary encoders?

[@NeVErseeNMeLikEDis]

U have to buy the dlc for that( rotation)

[@alphastratus6623]

@@Noobochok If the actors are not multidirectional these information still cant be processed and compensated. Overall add the motion to the seat instead of the base would be more useful. The gas spring would be dampening, less impact on the floor, and better response. Also not that rotating problem. We will see, maybe in Gen 2?

[@ChristopherKlepel]

Now this was the most interesting chair review I've seen. Colton's laughing was amazing. After this, I don't think we want to get him fired any more. Needs to do some more reviews of silly things.

Ab-soul-lute-ly Fabulous Comment!

[@herrsalz278]

For my cinema room I bought multiple Reckhorn shakers (alternatively sinustec or IBeam shaker). They could very well be mounted to a chair as well. With a cheap amp you might get away with approx. 100$ cost and can integrate it in your setup with rca. It might not be as advanced as this chair but it does not rattle, is easy to add to your rig and comes in at a much lower price.

[@Foobiez]

Noted!

[@rob1253]

These “Colton builds a thing” videos are excellent. Probably the best content LTT is producing at the minute.

this isn't for massages. it's for feedback while playing racing sims.

@@your_average_cultured_dude Yeah, but it has only a small portion of the automation, parts, or electronics that the massage chair has. The only reason it's not $1200 is the premium charged for being gamer.

[@ImmortalDuke]

Bass that

[@xanderwusky3001]

The only significant use case for something like this imo is sim driving. It’s even a little more niche then that as competitive people wouldn’t use this. I really don’t know about the design though, high price aside. I already have my doubts on a lot of stuff. The wheel base looks very fragile with those weird hooks at the end. That shape will put a lot of stress on the bend. I thought they probably used metal but on the pictures it seems more like plastic (the shape would also be hard to make from metal). If it is plastic that’s not good, I can almost promise you it will break. What doesn’t help with that is the screw on part. Normally almost chairs have a gas spring. That doesn’t just make the height adjustable but also dampens the impact when you sit down. With the stew on base I assume there might still be a little play but it won’t do nearly as much. That means every time you sit down or adjust you hit those wheels pretty hard. (And the heavy chair doesn’t help either). The rod also looks fairly thin. Now this might be fine, steel is very strong but especially with the price and that it will need to handle a lot of shaking I think it could have been a little thicker. The real issue is the height adjustment though. What is this? A thread and a grub screw to set your height? I get you need more rigid then a gas spring to be able to carry over the vibration but this ain’t it. This entirely removes swivel from your chair and relies on the wheels to do that. Also I strongly doubt how well that grub screw will hold with all the shaking (which btw will also vibrate other screws lose). The grub screw will also damage the thread while doing so. It’s a bad solution. Also a subscription is ridiculous for a chair. Everything is trying to get you to spend a few bucks a month on it just so you won’t notice how much you spend on them. And by the sounds without the subscription the chair is useless. Imo if this is what they wanted to make they should have just gone all in on the sim racing aspect. Remove the wheels entirely and put it on a stable base. That removes the need for almost everything that sucks about this chair and might actually make it a good product (even if very niche).

[@xanderwusky3001]

Tldr: chair sucks because they put it on a wheeled base. They should have gone all in on sim race chair and put it in a frame.
