    See those silver connectors? I use them at work. About $90 per connector just for the small ones.
    I'd say a safe bet would be 10k+ for the price.

    I wonder what it would be like to have sway simulated like that for racing. Also it doesn't seem like they use two paddles on the back for left and right sensations. Thoughts from those who have actually driven a gseat?

    This got my mind going on sway like that as well.

    That heave looks rather impressive on that seat plate.

    The Geko GS-105 essentially provides sway (and surge) by having the upper part of the backrest move forward/backward/left/right. It's a bit weird at first because you have to actively fight against its movements to properly feel the effect, but once you get used to it it becomes pretty natural and it does simulate sustained side forces.

    I would love to have some sort of add-on heave action for the seat pan to give more aggressive cues for dips and crests.
