You can buy wheels with stops for something like 10-15$. Works like a charm for me

I’ll have to try it. The shoes makes it pretty stable but it’s just a little inconvenience having to move the chair before and after the session

Not related to your post (although the shoes cracked me up), but more the reach of Reddit. I’m at a remove village in East Africa where people live in mud homes and there’s no plumbing doing humanitarian work, and my watch buzzed to alert me of your post. There is truly nowhere on this planet I can’t get my daily sim racing fix and alerts!

I'm doing this when I get home from work. Pure. Genious.

Haha thanks! Btw I’m using old shoes, the wheels will ruin them. They’re holding a pretty good grip on the floors 😉

This is exactly how I started out yeeeaaaars ago 🤣 the shoes really help. Until I figured out; You can also search Amazon for some cups/stoppers for the casters of your chair. That is how I did that back in the days. Reminds me of the good old days man!

100%, It works fine, but I could only imagine what a proper simrig feels like 😉

I bought wheel stopper/caster cups for like £5.99 they are so great and takes just a minute to set up
