Home surround systems have been around for a while now making that movie or gaming experience all the more real, in the last few years gaming chairs such as the X Rocker brand have really taken off, offering the ability to connect your console (or other audio devices) to a comfortable rocking chair that surrounds the player/person with a powerful bass speaker making the chair vibrate in time with on screen action, the only downside is that they aren’t for everyone as you have to have a pretty big gaming room, or lounge to be able to store it when not in use, not to mention that Gran isn’t going to be able to get down on the floor to enjoy Gears of War 2.

The ButtKicker device offers a solution to the problem, converting any old chair or sofa into a vibrating monster, meaning everyone can join in on the experience as you play games or watch movies. The ButtKicker is essentially a high powered low frequency speaker which is attached to a plate that slips under the feet/legs of your existing sofa and transmits the rumble or games or films into your body, and with it being wireless you won’t be tripping over those nasty audio wires when you need a bathroom pit stop.
