Customer Reviews


Essential if you have the xbox 360 wheel
Pros
-The kit fits perfectly and provides a firm feel. Absolutely necessary if you have the Xbox 360 wireless wheel.

Cons
-The nuts will come loose frequently

This product should be included with the Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat as there is no practical way of mounting the Xbox 360 wireless wheel. The pole at the base of the wheel plate is placed exactly where the wheel would be tightened, so you would have to add some sort of spacer to make it work. Even then, it will not feel nearly as firm as when using this kit.

This kit is easy to assemble, the main parts are the two plates and 4 nuts. You have to remove the bottom assembly from the wheel, attach these two plates, and then tighten the wheel to the base. Once mounted, the wheel won't budge, except for what is allowed by the rigidity of the pole (you won't notice this slight movement when you are actually playing). The instructions in the kit suggest you further secure the wheel with strips of velcro, but I don't think it's really necessary.

My only complaint is that the nuts will come loose every couple of hours. One time I didn't even notice until I found one of the nuts on the floor. I'd really prefer some type of snap-on fastener.


Makes all the difference...
When I first got my racing chair, I could not wait to get it setup. When I realized that you had to hook the Microsoft Xbox Steering Wheel on with velcro I was not sure how that was going to go. After a few hours in the chair, I realized I needed more stability. The wheel was just too wobbly. When I hooked up the Wireless Wheel Mounting Kit, that made all the difference. I could immediately feel more stability in the steering wheel. The kit was easy enough to put on. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is the price. It really is just two pieces of metal in a small box. .99 would have been a much more reasonable price. That aside, if you spend any time in your chair, this is a must have for your racing.


Wow, it's a metal bracket.
This works well for mounting the 360 wheel to your playseat. The package I received came with all of the bolts to mount the bracket to the seat. I would have liked some pre-cut velcro attached to the bracket so that I didn't have to cut it myself. There is some play in the wheel when mounted. A lot of that comes from the wheel itself, not the bracket or the seat. All in all, I am happy with my set up.


Exactly what I expected!
So I read the reviews, both good and bad... I knew I would be getting two over priced pieces of metal that may or may not have the instructions or the right hardware to properly secure my xbox 360 steering wheel to my playseat. This is what I got: Two over priced pieces of metal with both instructions AND the hardware to do the job perfectly. No need to dill any holes, make any trips to the hardware store or any other modifications. The velcro I had been using did a decent job but I was still getting a good bit of fore and aft movement. These adapter plates lock the wheel down tight. No more movement!! I knew going in that it was over priced so the fact that it does exactly what it's supposed to do and was a direct bolt on fit with all hardware included is why I give this a 5 star review. On a side note, I think this adapter plate should be included with the playseat to begin with. I also recommend you get this through amazon.
