ERS3 Haptic

Overview

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.

Highlights

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.

BUILT TO INTEGRATE AND PERFORM

The ERS3 Haptic is engineered for seamless compatibility across a wide range of simulator setups. Its bottom-mount design fits most third-party cockpits with easy installation. The haptic system complements advanced motion and tactile feedback solutions, creating a cohesive and responsive simulation experience. Whether racing, flying, or exploring in VR, the ERS3 Haptic delivers exceptional comfort, precise feedback, and the strength needed for demanding users — making it the ultimate all-round seat for immersive simulation.
