ButtKicker Gamer Plus haptic transducer with Universal Clamp - magnetically suspended piston design

Mass, not air

A subwoofer moves air - and loses force and accuracy on the way to the seat. The Gamer Plus moves an actual 170 g magnetically suspended piston, so every effect arrives as a physical impulse: engine load, gear shifts, kerb strikes and track surface. Because the feedback is mechanical, it works at any volume - turn the speakers down, race with a headset on at night, and the immersion stays.

Audio out of the box, telemetry when you want it

The Gamer Plus is driven by game audio, so it works with every title from the first minute - sim racing, flight sims and everything else on the PC. For deeper integration, ButtKicker's HaptiConnect software can drive it from in-game telemetry instead: track surface, vehicle grip and engine RPM become distinct, tuned effects rather than bass. The free HaptiConnect Base also handles audio routing, which makes running a headset alongside the transducer simple.

One clamp, three feet, any rig

The Universal Clamp grips round and square posts from roughly 25 to 45 mm - the centre post of a gaming chair as well as the tubing of most sim rigs. On aluminium profile cockpits, three integrated mounting feet bolt straight to the extrusion with M6 bolts and slot nuts, and a printable footprint template is linked in the Technical details tab. The Gamer Plus is sized for gaming chairs and small to medium rigs - for a large or heavy cockpit, the ButtKicker Gamer PRO is the stronger fit.

Everything in one box

The kit ships complete for PC use: the transducer, the 90 W amplifier with a digital display that remembers the last volume setting, a wireless remote for adjustments mid-session, and every cable including USB and RCA to 3.5 mm. No extra purchases are needed to start.

What our customers say about this product?

Is the Gamer Plus enough, or should I go PRO?

For a single-seat sim rig, the Gamer Plus genuinely suffices - the magnetically suspended 170 g piston responds quickly and renders detailed effects, and the 90 W BKA-PLUS amplifier drives it with headroom. The Gamer PRO adds raw output (150 W, heavier piston) for those who want maximum physical intensity.

How does it mount on an aluminium profile cockpit?

Two ways - and that flexibility is a Gamer Plus advantage: the universal clamp grips round and square posts of roughly 25-45 mm, and three dedicated mounting feet bolt directly onto aluminium profiles. A mounting footprint template is linked in the manuals for precise placement.

What is in the box?

The complete kit: ButtKicker PLUS haptic transducer plus the matched BKA-PLUS amplifier with digital volume display, memory and a wireless remote for adjusting intensity mid-session. Nothing else to buy - connect to the PC and mount to the rig.

Is it apartment-friendly?

Yes, with one habit: keep the rig off direct floor contact. The transducer vibrates rather than plays sound - you feel far more than you hear - and isolation feet under the cockpit stop the structure passing vibrations into the building. The lighter piston also makes the Plus the gentler of the two kits by nature.

What can I actually feel with it?

With SimHub's ShakeIt profiles: engine rumble rising with RPM, curb strikes under the exact wheel that hits them, gear shift knocks, wheel slip warning you before the spin, road texture changing with the surface. The 5-200 Hz range covers it all - information your body reads faster than your eyes.
