About

The Next Level Racing® ERS3 Haptic Feedback Sim Racing Seat combines two of the most acclaimed innovations in simulation — the comfort and ergonomics of the ERS3 Elite Seat and the haptic performance of the HF8 Pro. Developed from global community feedback, it represents the most accessible and affordable way to experience true integrated haptic feedback in a professional-grade seat.
“The next level of realism the Haptic Seats gives you is amazing. I particularly love the feelings through the gear shifts, ripple-strips and loss of traction. Makes it much easier to judge.” Alex Gardner, Professional Race Car Driver

Featuring the same advanced haptic technology as the HF8 Pro, the Next Level Racing® ERS3 Haptic delivers 200% more torque, 400% more power, and 60% faster motor speed than the original HF8 Haptic Feedback Pad. The eight embedded haptic motors are fully integrated into the seat frame, translating every corner, surface texture, and impact into detailed, real-time sensation while delivering direct and evenly distributed feedback. Built with SIMAERO Mesh fabric and cold-moulded foam, the ERS3 Haptic maintains the ERS3’s renowned comfort and posture support, making it ideal for long endurance sessions for sim racers and pilots alike.

Integrated Power and Comfort

Unlike traditional haptic pads, the ERS3 Haptic houses its motors within the seat structure for unmatched tactile precision and comfort. This fully integrated design eliminates shifting or vibration loss, ensuring every sensation — from tyre slip to turbulence — is transmitted directly through the seat. The SIMAERO Mesh fabric keeps you cool under pressure, while high-density foam maintains support through every lap, flight, or mission. Designed to accommodate larger body types and extended sessions, the ERS3 Haptic balances performance, strength, and ergonomic comfort for every user.

Customised Haptic Control

With full support for Next Level Racing® HFS software and SimHub integration, users can fine-tune each of the eight feedback zones to match their preferences. Control the strength and trigger behaviour of each motor — whether simulating engine RPM, road texture, braking, or turbulence. The HFS software runs at 75 frames per second for ultra-low latency feedback, while a built-in physical controller allows on-the-fly intensity adjustment with LED indicators for quick reference. For console* use, the 3.5 mm audio input transforms in-game sound into vibration feedback for racing, flight, or even music and VR experiences.
*Note: When using on console, haptic feedback is generated through audio-based vibration only. Individual motor control and telemetry-based effects are ONLY available on PC via HFS Software or SimHub.

Integrated Power and Comfort

Unlike traditional haptic pads, the ES1 Haptic integrates its eight high-torque motors directly into the bucket seat shell, delivering precise, low-latency feedback that follows every movement of the vehicle. This fully embedded design eliminates shifting or vibration loss, ensuring that every sensation — from tyre slip to kerb strike — is felt exactly where it happens. The durable racing suede fabric provides superior grip and comfort, while cold-moulded foam maintains firm support through long sessions. Designed for maximum body stability and endurance, the ES1 Haptic gives drivers the confidence and connection needed for competitive simulation.

Customised Haptic Control

With full support for Next Level Racing® HFS Software and SimHub integration, users can fine-tune all eight feedback zones for total control over their racing experience. Adjust motor strength, response, and trigger behaviour to replicate effects such as engine RPM, road texture, braking, and collisions. The HFS software runs at 75 frames per second, providing ultra-low latency and highly accurate feedback. A built-in physical controller allows quick intensity adjustments. For console* use, the 3.5 mm audio input converts in-game audio into dynamic vibration feedback for racing, flight, or multimedia experiences.
*Note: When using on console, haptic feedback is generated through audio-based vibration only. Individual motor control and telemetry-based effects are ONLY available on PC via HFS Software or SimHub.

Built to integrate and perform

The ES1 Haptic is designed for seamless integration with a wide range of professional simulator setups. Its side-mount compatibility allows precise positioning and angle adjustment with most industry-standard seat brackets, while the compact, lightweight design ensures easy installation across popular cockpits. The haptic system complements existing motion and tactile solutions, creating a unified feedback ecosystem for serious racers. With its rigid shell, ergonomic shape, and high-performance haptic technology, the ES1 Haptic delivers unmatched control, comfort, and immersion — built for the most demanding sim-racing environments.
