hey honey isn't that verdict your sweet over there do you want to go in um honey you never go to verdict you're sweet at the start of context why because once you go in there you don't come out my coverage of Computex 2017 is brought to you by be quiet cable Maude Berta gear and EVGA go ahead and check out the links below for more info all right I'm hopping into the cockpit guys so um wish me luck I'm also not a really great driver as my close friends will tell you so hopefully this simulator is forgiving but I really like how you just sort of get into this cockpit here it's very easy and simple to use you don't need any assistance the pedals are very close to the driver which is exactly my size and everything feels super comfortable at this point you've got like a little shifter right here steering wheel looks good it's very firm doesn't seem like it's wobbly whatsoever the pedals also seem there's a little bit of wiggle but it's honestly not too bad that the metal plate can actually go forward or backwards and it can also adjust in terms of tilting so depending on your to your height not to mention the chair can go back quite a bit and you can lock that in if you want if you don't want it to rock offers just a ton of flexibility here while maintaining very comfortable sort of sitting the experience but let's go ahead and play some games probably not goes oh god I should make a disclaimer that I've never really actually played a VR racing simulator let alone actual racing simulators I have very limited experience with them so this is more of just how this is going to feel in terms of the accessories and this is automatic so I don't know why I'm grabbing the shifter it's just natural response but again everything seems really comfortable it's quite quite immersive it's actually sort of hard to talk and narrate while I'm focusing on the road which I think it's sort of what you want in a simulator is not to crash into the wall alright is there what I should how do I reverse the other cool thing about this whole setup the verdict years implemented is that the the steering wheel at this point this sort of man it's like a hot shoe plate it's like a hot plate that you can actually just remove and swap out with another one so instead of having to drill it so you have multiple steering wheels that you work with for various simulators you have to keep removing the individual steering wheel and drill in a new one for example you can just sort of swap out the hot plate and already have your next steering wheel good to go it literally takes like five seconds to swap out a steering wheel with this which is very convenient the other great thing about this system is that you don't actually have to buy a completely new chair to use it you can actually buy all these additional add-on accessories for VR for your next stimulator and still maintain still keep your same verdict your chair actually these parts are all compatible with pretty much the whole line of verdict your racing chairs it's really nice instead of having to replace your entire setup and find out what to do with your old chair you can just buy these parts modularly about the work and just add them on to your liking which is just very cost effective and space efficient as well I like the flight simulator we did earlier everything here feels really sturdy has a really solid feel and weight to it speaking of weight this is the actual steel construction this is one option that vertically is going to be offering they're also going to be offering a carbon fiber which is a bit lighter weight so it's going to cost a little bit more since it is a fire material oh and there's another wall all right I've gotten really low to the ground to show you guys this but it's super important so let's know this is the blocking gas lift this little metal bar here I actually engage it it sort of locks the entire chair so that it doesn't swivel left or right which is actually way more important than you might think especially when you've got pedals in front and you're actually rocking to be our headset not only does that just keep you oriented in the correct direction keep you facing the right way it also prevents any sort of like tracking loss with your with your HMD so this is really an actual innovative sort of design that is going to keep you on track and keep you on task with your gaming experience overall so this is a again part of the racing simulator here you can see the metal bar that's kind of attached to the the the shaft here of the chair and it goes all the way to the pad so this is really nice instead of having the pedals on the floor first of all if you're short like me you can't really reach the floor and secondly even if you are tall enough to reach the pedals you can still potentially push the pedals back and they might actually slide as you're using them but that sort of corrects that issue with this metal bracket here this brace don't pretend like you're driving and then you're not driving look at that you're you're a hack you're a fraud an absolute fraud what do you have to say for yourself fake news fake news right there I believe these accessories that sort of setup will be available to you guys sometime in q4 of 2017 the other cool thing about the cool setup here is when you're done with your simulation needs you can just go ahead and pop that little button and the whole this is the hot plate that I was talking about earlier comes on very easily and there's also a vanity plate that you can go ahead and swap in just type just go like this now you have yourself a little desk while you watch TV on the big screen or whatever it is this is actually fairly large I mean it's relatively compact big enough for a keyboard or Mouse certainly or you know a tasty beverage if you would like that but overall this is a really sweet little package that you guys should definitely check out when it comes in the stores this is the light weight you're springing my food the heck is it than 30 get out of here watch your dirty banana ah there's a lot more banana than I bargained for you know what watch that banana down really good as a nice cold beer right now gotta love this place go over to here
