Product Description

The ButtKicker BK-GR Gamer is awesome for gaming, computer entertainment, and digital music playback. This device works with all computer systems and all gaming consoles, and allows you to feel the low end of sounds without making the room overly loud. With the ButtKicker you can experience powerful bass even while you're using headphones. But what is it and how does it work? The ButtKicker is a small linear motor that reacts to an audio signal sent by an amplifier (the ButtKicker Gamer comes with its own 100-watt amplifier). It is similar to a loudspeaker, but instead of a moving a cone and transferring sound waves through the air, the ButtKicker Gamer is attached to your seat and sends a low frequency sound directly into your body. The effect is amazing.



The ButtKicker Gamer allows you to feel the big bass of your favorite video games without disturbing the neighbors.


Attaching the Gamer is a breeze with the included Easy Clamp. View larger.


The BK-GR comes with everything you need. View larger.
The human body uses two senses to perceive full-range sound. We hear sound, but we also feel it, especially low frequencies. Traditionally it takes big speakers to move a tremendous amount of air for us to feel low frequency sound. That's why so many people love loud concerts -- they want to feel the music as well as hear it. The ButtKicker Gamer reproduces the feeling range of audio in a more direct way than through air movement. The perception is actually better, plus the sound pressure disappears (forget about ringing ears!). For example, when using headphones with the BK-GR, you'll still perceive powerful, musically accurate, concert-level audio, but no one else will hear anything.

The ButtKicker Gamer can take your gaming experience to an awesome level without angering your neighbors. To get the full effect of exciting, action-packed video game titles you'd normally need a huge audio entertainment system that you could pump up to a disturbing-the-peace level. The ButtKicker Gamer solves the problem and adds the big bass sound without the giant, disruptive volume.

Designed to be responsive and aggressive, the ButtKicker Gamer answers the need for both accurate low frequency response and maximum tactile effect. Digital music playback, gaming, and computer entertainment have never been so realistic or intense. Virtually indestructible and maintenance free, with a patented magnetic suspension system and a thermal switch for heat protection, the BK-GR provides tremendous power and longevity. For the workplace or home, the ButtKicker Gamer easily attaches to most standard center post chairs. And with the included "Easy Clamp" mechanism hooking up the ButtKicker Gamer is a breeze. Once the ButtKicker is attached, you'll feel the low end of sound without making the room unbearably loud. Turn down or turn off your subwoofer and you'll still be able to feel all the bass you want. And remember, you'll be able to experience powerful bass even while using headphones, making this an ideal addition to any apartment, dormitory, or condominium.

Great for drummers!

I wanted to write this review for those drummers out there who want a little extra "kick" in their bass drum. I use a nice monitor when our band plays out but still don't get that deep "thump" from my bass drum to help keep me in the pocket.I just received the buttkicker today and hooked it up to my computer just to feel the bass from my cd's. It really works. I was quite surprised at the power this thing puts out. I then hooked it up to my Roland digital drums I practice on. I have a direct out...

ButtKicker Gamer

It does what it says it will. The materials and craftmanship are top notch. It adds to the realism of gaming, for me flight simming. For the most part, the only time you will feel it when flight simming is, taxiing, takeoff ( wheels rolling, gear up, flaps), and then landing, an excellent job here when the wheels hit the runway. I tried it with a music cd, and it works great.A little pricey, but if you can find a rebate for it, then it's definately worth the price....

bassgitars are not good for the un-astronauted nor is the shuttle launch

Why would you hook a motor gasket to your easy office deluxe(or whatever chair) to rumble at the slightest hint of bass.Don't listen to Rush(as in NOT Limbaugh) with this thing.The heavy gitars and odviously Thu Gedster's thump'n bastad sword of dbase will kill!At least don't listen to Vapor Trails or Counter.Rapsters and techno music is perfect.As for games, most games are story emirsive that I play(as in RPG and the adventure types) but action FPS benifit slightly except for a loss in coordination...

It's great and kicks *ss!

Easy to hook up and works as advertised, now I can feel the music and live the movies! Splitter is included so you can connect subwoofer/speakers. Well worth the money....

the amplifier is way too noisy

The vibration effect is cool.However, the nose from the amplifier's 2 tiny high-pitch fans is annoying and drowns your regular audio....
