ButtKicker Gamer PRO haptic transducer installed on an aluminium profile sim racing rig

Feel the track, not the noise

Unlike a subwoofer that moves air - and loses accuracy and force - the Gamer PRO moves actual mass. Engine vibration, kerbs, road texture, grip and impacts travel through your rig straight into your body, in the 5-200 Hz range where you feel more than you hear.

It works even with headphones on: full immersion at 2 a.m., without a loud room.

ButtKicker PRO power amplifier with digital display and wireless remote in a sim racing setup

From game audio - or straight from telemetry

Out of the box, the amplifier registers on your PC over USB as a virtual audio device - every game, movie or track works instantly. The 150 W RMS amp keeps its digital display, remembers your last volume and comes with a wireless remote.

For sim racing, go deeper: ButtKicker HaptiConnect and SimHub drive the transducer from in-game telemetry - track surface, vehicle grip and kerbs, not just sound.

ButtKicker Gamer PRO universal clamp mounted on a gaming chair center post

One clamp, any rig - or chair

The Universal Clamp locks onto round and square posts from about 25 to 45 mm - aluminium profile rigs and gaming chair center posts alike - and many rig makers offer dedicated ButtKicker mounts.

As the strongest model in the Gamer family (about three times the transducer of the Gamer Plus), it has the output to shake heavy, rigid rigs properly.

Curious how it installs and feels in practice? The official setup video shows the whole process:

What our customers say about this product?

What is included in the Gamer PRO kit?

The complete chain: the ButtKicker PRO haptic transducer and the matched BKA-PRO amplifier (150 W RMS at 2 ohms) with a digital volume display and wireless remote - so you can adjust intensity mid-race without leaving the seat. No extra audio equipment needed.

Gamer PRO or Gamer Plus - what is the difference?

Output and mass: the PRO pairs a stronger 150 W amplifier with a heavier 0.45 kg piston, moving more force into the rig for the deepest, most physical effects. The Gamer Plus runs a 90 W amp with a lighter magnetically suspended piston - quick and detailed, at a friendlier price. Big rigs and maximum intensity: PRO.

How does it mount to my rig?

Via the universal clamp, which grips round and square posts from roughly 25 to 45 mm - seat posts and cockpit members included. Mount it rigidly (the linked clamp-use video shows the right technique) and the vibrations travel through the chassis into your body.

Will my neighbors hear it?

Far less than speakers would - a transducer produces vibration you feel, not sound from a cone. What can transmit noise is the rig touching the floor, so isolation feet under the cockpit are the standard companion; with them, tactile setups run fine in apartments where bass from speakers could not.

What software drives the effects?

SimHub's ShakeIt engine is the community standard: it reads telemetry from all major sims and maps individual effects - engine RPM, curbs, gear shifts, wheel slip - to the transducer with per-game profiles. The 5-200 Hz frequency response covers the whole effect spectrum from deep road rumble to sharp shift knocks.
