- Watch our full review of the Playseat Trophy - Logitech G Edition, the latest sim racing cockpit.
A collaboration between Playseat, a sim racing manufacturer, and Logitech, a video game and sim racing peripheral manufacturer, has created something based upon the initial 2022 Trophy design, but updated for 2023 with new colours and materials.
Unveiled in September 2022, the Logitech G Edition is a lightweight, easy-to-build cockpit with an integrated Actifit seat. Here we discuss its build process, its ergonomics and if it can withstand the forces from a direct drive wheel base and load cell pedals.
Is this the right cockpit for you, and how does it stack up against the competition? Watch the video to find out, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

I have the trophy and its awesome. Highly recommend!
I've been rocking one of these since April last year and I'm extremely happy with it. It's got an SC2 Pro and HE Sprint pedals mounted to it, plus the HE Handbrake, HE sequential shifter and a Streamdeck mounted to the optional gear/handbrake plate.
It's extremely solid and extremely comfortable.
How is it for the GT and F1 positions?
Honestly...
@@torbinzix1 It's a lot more GT than F1. You can go someway to getting the F1 position by raising the pedal deck and lowering the rear of the seat, but you're not going to get all the way there.
@@slaphead90 that makes sense, but the video kinda had me thinking the difference was a bit more pronounced.
what about that handbrake \ shifter mount? how does it feel?
is it in a good position / comfortable?
also interested in knowing how you mounted the shifter. I can order a mount from Playseat but shipping to US is $100!
I have just bought the black one and first impressions are pretty good. Coming from a Playseat Evolution the upgrade is significant. I wanted something sturdy but with a small footprint and for that reason I went with the Trophy.
It was pretty easy to build and set up to my liking but it's not ideal if you want to adjust it for multiple users on a regular basis. Also I have a T818 and although mounting it with two bolt seems good enough for now it's certainly not ideal. My Fanatec CLS Elite pedal set was pretty easy to mount and the footplate feels very solid. I have my shifter mounted on a low table next to me so the lack of a mounting plate for that was not a big issue.
The seat is comfortable and the seating position feels great to me although if you don't like the feeling of sitting really low in a car it might be not for you. But to me it feels like they really thought about how to transfer the feel of sitting in a racecar as close as possible.
I also was surprised by just how much of a difference It made in terms of FFB detail. The Evolution had so much play everywhere that a lot of forces just were not transferred to my hands. I'm sure there are even sturdier rigs out there but this thing really exceeded my expectation on that front. It's a really well designed rig and it also looks pretty sleek.
Make sure to look out for discounts though because at full MSRP it is somewhat too expensive IMO. But if you can get it at sub 500€ it is worth it.
I use the Trophy since almost a Year with the DD Pro and im loving it 👌
Does it fit the 3 pedal setup?
@@Djversatile15 yes, it does :)
You guys that don't like this seat obviously have your own little game room. Plus I guess you like your 75kg setup. Fair fucking play. But for many of us we have to move our setup in and out of our living room etc. This is perfect. A grand is too much? Lol. Sure and our wheels cost at least that much. Monitors? VR?
Excellent review, THANKS a lot!!!! 😊 👌
No problem!
You said that you can set it up as a formula position, but won’t the wheel be too high for that? Thanks
Do you think the VRS wheel base and Pedals is good for this? Or do you think that's overkill and I'm better off with the Alpha Mini and some other lesser pedals?
You look like you have more leg clearance to the wheel deck. What pedal position do you have? And recline
I wondered if these are ever going to be back in stock
I had Evo. How tall are you and is the wheelbase not to high for you?
Great video
Did u say I won the t818 and when are going to send it to me and ty again
Hi, if you use this in front of a Tv how high off the ground does the TV need to me cause my TV is low
How’s this Trophy compare to other competitors like the Next Level rig?
Did they make 10 of these or something cause I can't find this anywhere.
Can you compare your best laptime with the Playseat Trophy to your 8020?
how big is your tv? I just bought a 98" TCL 144hz and sold my 80/20 rig, im thinking of buying this seat and just game on my massive tv
Hi, can you share the dimensions of the box it comes in please
Hi, can you tell me what the measures of the assembled playseat are?
Product dimensions: 140 x 58 x 100 cm. www.logitechg.com/en-gb/products/gaming-furniture/playseat-trophy-sim-racing-seat.trophy-g-edition.html
Great review, but I have a question.. is this Logitech edition different from the 'normal' playseat trophy edition? Except the Logitech is €100,- more expensive...
You have screws for Logitech G Pro Pedals & Wheel included and drilled holes with markers that suit perfectly. Besides that there are no differences.
Just bought this and the G pro did wheel and pedals
How is it. Please tell my. I thought of buying it, but I went with Moza R12
You said the base transmit vibration into the frame to the floor, right ?
It possible to squeeze between the base and the rig, some gummy foam material like the gum pads, we put under the feet of a washing machine… to reduced or eliminate those vibrations ?? Or those vibrations are interesting for immersion ?
I think you could definitely put these pads under the rig itself to help stop vibrations transmitting to the floor, however not between the wheel base and the rig itself without introducing some flex. Most of the vibrations were from the Logitech G-Pro 'true-force' vibrations, when we tried the Fanatec and Thrustmaster its was much quieter.
@@TraxionGG thank you…
@@TraxionGG is it compatible with moss R5 or R9
Thanks for the review! In your opinion, is the Playseat suitable for people with a height of 1.70m?
Absolutely! And you are very welcome :)
I'm also 5'7" (1.70m), I'm sure I can fit in the seat, it says 1.20 to 2.20 on their website. However, I saw 2 videos reviews from Geek Street & Karl Gosling, both are taller then 6'0 (1.82) and they both said the wheel deck is a little too high compare to other rig. Did you end up buying the trophy? Do you find the wheel deck too high? I'm still undecided between this one and the GT Omega Titan. Thanks
@@tdmdchannel2339 I opted for an aluminium rig.
Are there any differences besides the Logitech branding from the other Trophy seats?
Not as far as we are aware. It has the new colours and Logitech branding, the frame itself is the same
There is Black, Red and Logitech versions, Red And Black are Playseat branding only.
Do you think VRS pedals are overkill for this? I dont plan to use high kg of force, if they still are worth it, great. if not then i can get something like the CSL V2's
Nah, its not overkill. VRS pedals are very good and works well with the Trophy pedalplate ✌🏻
@@_ex1t look up boosted media Playseat Trophy. Heaps of flex.
@@_ex1t look up boosted media Playseat Trophy, heaps of flex.
@@_ex1t look up boosted media Playseat Trophy, heeeeeeaps of flex.
Just saw that it's $799CAN.
Sorry, but I don't f***ing think so.
If it was half that price...maybe.
how high is that wheelstand? Looks pretty low so may be able to push it under my desk - certainly seems lower than eg the wheelstand 2.0
Good question, I will check....
I just checked, without a wheelbase attached, it does slide under a desk
@@TraxionGG cm? my desk is 70cm but could put it up a bit if needed. And maybe could mount a fanatec DD upside down on the bottom of the plate.. hmm
Just received the shift holder plate today.
We are hoping to try it out soon as well. Enjoy!
@@TraxionGG Just got my gaming pc. Next upgrade is DD. Gonna use the plate now as mousepad. And attach the emergency button when i have my DD.
@@TraxionGGdid you review it?
Is there flex?
Would have been good if you could have displayed the seat in both GT and F1 positions
Take a look a the monkeydriver cockpit, it’s made in Italy
@@Cactus.Scoville thanks for the suggestion, it's crazy I've never seen or heard of this before you introduced it to me and I've been SIM racing for years
@@torbinzix1 you’re welcome.
It’s beautiful rig, out of my budget, unfortunately.
@@Cactus.Scoville what part of the world are you from?
@@torbinzix1 France
How much NM can support?
Tested 18NM
Sad it doesn't come with rubber isolation feet
This material is almost perfect....
Its certainly strong and lightweight
600 seems a bit expensive. Or maybe that's just amazon sellers doing markups.
Feels like it could be called a "Playseat Challenge Deluxe", so I think the pricetag is way too high for what it is. $500 max for this.
I think due to rush making of this video bolts haven't been tighten properly. The Trophy flex way less than showed on the video. And I'm using DD2 Fanatec on it. It does flex but not as much as seen on the video. So make sure to tighten your bolts. ''That what she said''
What NM do you run it on?
easy folding the seat would have sealed the deal I think
Easy enough undo two bolts and your done.
The F1 seating postition possible with this?
Not completely, the seat does recline , however you can't raise the pedals high enough to completely achieve a realistic formula style seating position. That's not to say you couldn't prop the front up on something and adjust the seat and pedals to match, we haven't tried this though
@@TraxionGG I see, thanks for the response! I guess the F-GT is the only kit in the market that does both. Also, have you guys heard of monkey driver? They have an excellent tubular design cockpit that works on both F1 and GT. Hopefully you guys can grab one of those and try it out. It's pricey though.
It looks beautiful BUT It's too much money... if it was 400usd it would be ok... in my coutry its even 750 euro... But its not worth 600 usd. GT omega titan is much better buy... you get a proper seat and better seat adjustment... and the rig itself has the potential of ading some transducers and/or some custom made upgrades and you get the shifter mount in the package.
Yea its between this and a gt omega titan for me, only if the rs12 seat is goos
This or NLR GT track?
the price is way too high. I can get a cockpit with that money
Exactly.
This seat should be $399 MAXXXX.
You're missing the point completely. This is for people who want a rock solid rig that can support DD wheels and LC pedals, but also want to be able to move it out of the way easily.
It achieves this brilliantly, and no, sticking castors on a alu profile monstrosity is not going to offer anywhere near the movability of the Trophy.
@Slap Head this thing ain't worth $600 bro lmao.....
@@USNEM Since when is this $600. I paid $399 for mine.
I wanted this and almost bought then the trakracer trx came out and i get way more for the money. This should be a $400 seat tops
Haha 😂 1:48
Overpriced
The framing looks like PVC piping 🤣🤦 I wonder how sturdy that metal piping is
It is surprisingly sturdy, more so than we expected
nice rig but my ass is not fat enough for that seat that's like a lawn chair it looks uncomfortable
I was worried it wasn't going to be very comfortable as well, but it genuinely is as good as any other sim seat I have tried, and better than some of those.
Terrible driving experience unless you never move up or down with the wheel during hard driving....which everyone does. Until they fix the wheel mount issue, this is just a bad purchase overall unless you're doing some weird casual driving with no FFB at all. The simple fix would have been a set bolt on the deck place through the top cross bar to force it stationary or replace the top crossbar with a flat stock for solid mounting.
First of all.. too expensive, I see the flex when using, the seat can’t be that comfortable if it isn’t really a seat as such especially when using for hours at a time. It seems more like a hammock type design and for the price of £529 is way too expensive. There is better racing sim cockpits with real seats out there at a lower price. The version in the black colour with the exact same design is cheaper, you can’t really fold it away or hide it away when not in use. Which is very annoying. The steering wheel and pedal board adds weight to the playseat so moving it around isn’t ideal with the devices connected and their choice of micro USB instead of USB C is a mistake for the steering wheel and pedal board connections. No real easy adjustments on the fly is crazy. I don’t personally think it’s a good design where you need to use an hexagonal key to make adjustments to fit the player’s comfort at that particular time. 🤔
Bucket seats aren't made for comfort, they're made for safety.
This seat is very comfy and it doesn't get clammy at all. It's like a chair, but with all the hard and uncomfortable bits removed..
Yeah, you can't fold this, just like almost every cockpit out there. Cockpits that fold show lots of flex. The amount of flex is very low and acceptable for this price point. Yeah, it might be expensive, but it's competitively priced. Real seats doesn't mean it is always comfy. Some people don't like bucket seats because they have back pain.
@@bigdoge is it possible to quickly take it apart into two pieces in the middle and store them separatly? I have a NLR GT-Lite, and to be honest, it's not so easy to fold it always together and like that it takes up a lot of space, since it's width. This seems like a nice rig, what could be taken apart and slid under a bed maybe
@@benceacs1604 not sure. I heard from Karl Gosling's Playseat Trophy review that he said the slots where the two pieces join together would "terminate" after a certain point of consistently pulling them apart.
@@bigdoge thanks, good to know
Yeah, 599$ for 4 meter aluminium pipes, 1 seat and of course Logitech logo.....no thanks. The real cost of this is probably 250$max and I can do this by my self for les than 250$ with seat.
"I can do this by my self for les than 250$ with seat."
That is literally true about _every_ cockpit ever made. Stack of wood and a seat, done.
Doesn't really invalidate cockpits like this though..
Ok build it and sell it for $250. I will be your first customer
Stop lying
Good review new sub
