This Gaming Chair Might be Illegal — Summary & Key Points
TL;DR
Linus Tech Tips unboxes the 600-pound Cluven M2HB50 cal gaming cockpit featuring prop machine guns and integrated monitors, but finds the assembly process confusing, the chair uncomfortable for daily use, and the Nvidia Surround setup failing to function properly.
Key Quotes
"I never provide ammunition."
The list
Product specifications and build
The Cluven M2HB50 cal cockpit weighs over 600 pounds due to its nearly all-steel construction and includes five monitor ports, fake machine guns with moving parts, and integrated speakers.
Assembly challenges
Assembly is a nightmare without a physical manual, requiring users to watch a video guide on a separate screen while trying to align bolts and mount the heavy guns and monitors, which often leads to frustration and stripped threads.
Ergonomics and comfort
The chair is uncomfortable for daily use, with the headrest knocking hats off, the lumbar support being hard to gauge, and the head hitting the surround speakers when the headrest is down.
Software compatibility issues
The setup struggles with Nvidia Surround, causing Windows to crash and games like Doom and Red Dead Redemption to black screen, though the Alienware Area 51 PC with a 5090 is powerful enough to run 11K resolution.
Final verdict
Despite the cool factor, the chair is impractical for general gaming due to the awkward mouse pad placement, lack of monitor tilt adjustment, and difficulty moving the unit.
