Editorial Reviews:

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.

Summary: WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Comment: I just got it hooked up on my office chair, it's... pretty cool. :)

It can REALLY get things vibrating, and when you have it cranked, you'll feel all of the things that are loose in your chair. :)

You'll NEED a strong heavy chair for best results. My office chair is comfy for me, but it's got some loose parts. The ButtKicker manual talks about stuffing foam into those places that vibrate, it's not a bad idea. For now, I have it turned down so as to not get the passer-bys to ask "why is Mark vibrating?" but even at low levels it adds a good level of fun to the whole sonic experience. I've only tried it with tunes at this point, this should be a lot of fun for gaming!

"Nice to find extras"
- Level control on the amp
- Switchable lowpass filter
- Switchable highpass filter with adjustable cutoff
- NICE assortment of cable adapters and cable ties

"Kinda Bummers"
- The amp has a constantly running fan that's kinda' loud. In the office it's fine though, it helps mask the chatter. Woulda' been nice to have the amp auto powerup on when there's sound.

- There's a cable on the floor from your chair to the amp. Inevitable of course, and it's not bad, just something you gotta watch if you like to sit & spin. :)

All in all... GOOD PURCHASE! RECOMMENDED!

Summary: Good if used for Stereo and others but not Toslink
Comment: Works as advertised but had hoped to use with my PS3 and Logitech Z-5500
via toslink optical sound cable. Not a huge deal and I'm not sure if there is a work around but none that I've discovered thus far. It'll work if you use the stereo leads from the PS3 to inputs for BK amp then go into tv and take output of tv to Z-5500. But you have to switch from "optical" 6 to stereo setting. But if you have the z-5500's set up then bass from the Buttkicker isn't really needed. If you live in an area where noise must be limited then this unit starts to shine. No problems with mine once I figured it out but do wish they would spend a bit more time on documentation. Guess they have enough for normal hook ups, just us abbey normal kinda folks I guess. Amp is loud but fans will do that. Gotta make noise to keep things cool for a case this size. If the case was larger they could use quieter fans but then we'd complain about that too. Neat toy but I coulda done without it. But it works as long as you moderate the settings. Set it too high and you'll drive the piston to full stroke and it'll clatter. My chair has a "knee" action and tends to dampen some of the vibrations but a standard desk chair should be just fine.

Summary: Does indeed work with 6.1/7.1 soundcards
Comment: So initially I was unable to get it working properly and because I also have the Sound Blaster Xi-Fi Xtrememusic sound card like reviewer D.J. Husar I thought it didn't work with 6.1/7.1 cards as he indicated. I contacted the Buttkicker tech support folks and they informed me that is not true and said you need to turn on the "low frequency redirect" in your soundcard settings. This was called "enable bass redirection" in the Xi-Fi control panel. After enabling that it's working great! All that aside I would say it's a pretty cool gadget. I paid around $50 for it when I got it on sale and it's probably worth that but I wouldn't say it's necessarily worth $100. It's cool with the added feeling of the bass effects in your chair but I have a pretty powerful subwoofer already so even though the effects were pretty neat I wouldn't classify it as a must have. All that being said I will continue using it. I play mostly shooters but I think it would be fun to try with racing/flying sims.

Summary: Best support ever
Comment: I enjoy the BK gamer but the electronics fried after a few months. It was a pleasure dealing with the folks at Guittamer, the support that this company has is incredible! Great company to deal with.
