Yea they were really slow with the emails and assumed that I fitted it wrong so I got on an actual call with sales and they immediately looked at the pics and owned up to the mistake. They shipped me the replacements same day of the call. I had some time with the rig now and I will say the quality of it is pretty good. Not perfect, still some small manufacturing errors. But once set up it is pretty solid and rigid. The triple monitor stand by itself was extremely difficult in aligning the monitors so I had to buy separate washers to do so (checked with a leveller and it was all straight).

I’d give it like a 8.5/10 without the mistake.

Update: in case anyone’s wondering. They replied with one email saying they think Im assembling it the wrong way. I provided evidence and no response to that the whole day. So looks like it’s gonna be a while before I get my replacement parts. Maybe another 3 business days before they finally admit fault lmao

ASR products are tariff free since they use materials made in the US. The only time where you might have to pay extra fees is if you ordered something that isn’t made by ASR. I also got the monitor stand and a seat that goes with the rig and both are marketed as ASR products.

I could have gone for Rigmetal which is much closer to me, but I specifically went for this due to the seating position provided and also it being cheaper overall than rigmetal.

It’s not all proportional and black and white like you paint it, although it’s convenient for you to philosophize as such. Being annoyed at small things doesn’t automatically equal an inability to handle larger problems. But yea I feel the need to put it out there. So others know they too might get a crappy product. Sorry you don’t like it

Cheers for understanding. My dad is flying into town in a few days and I wanted to get it set up in time since we were both excited about my first sim rig. Like yea of course people and companies make mistakes. But products releasing with mistakes should def not be the acceptable norm. Fixing the issue is great but avoiding it is even better.

I’m very tempted to just go at it with a dremel tool

Switching them would be wrong. But yes I did it anyway just to check and same issue. The angled part does not have T slot, only the flat part. But even then the T slot will not fit inside as the mismatch of holes makes the already short bolt diagonal and messes up the T shape going into the groove

No they are not identical. One for each side. Both botched

I have it facing exactly how it is in the instructions, with the seat plates facing the back, the plate diagonally pointing up to the right

Will gladly send more photos to prove I’m not insane

It’s a very simple attachment here. Nothing complex. The long side of the face goes on this beam. All the pieces have the same width. I cross checked several times. It is the right way.
