I suppose it depends what your expecting out of this product and what your using it with. Any swivel chair is going to suck if your trying to use it with a steering wheel and pedals. You want your position to be locked down and even if it is possible to lock it down it's going to move a little bit.
I'd guess that you could probably achieve something similar with better dedicated sim equipment, I wouldn't have much confidence in a chair that cost just $169 and a large portion of that cost has gone towards electronics and whatever else needed to make the chair rock. That makes the actual chair part very cheap.
Looks a bit gimmicky to me.
Are you looking for something that won't look out of place in a sitting room?
Worth reading the one-star reviews on Amazon before buying.
You can't trust Amazon reviews full stop. The 5 star reviews are at best, from people that are just delighted with their new toy, at worst they're shills. Many of the 1 star reviews can be from disgruntled people who are complaining just to complain and aren't really giving the product a fair assessment.
Overall Amazon reviews just can't be trusted, even if someone is being genuine, unless they've also bought all the other versions and brands how would they know if it's better or worse than any of the rest? Most amazon reviewers simply aren't qualified or educated enough to judge a product on it's merits. It would be like giving a car review from someone that bought a car once the same merit as a car review from a car journalist.
I've also had Chinese suppliers contact me begging and trying to bribe me into changing my review.
