Next Level Racing HF8 Haptic Feedback Gaming Pad

The Next Level Racing HF8 is a haptic feedback pad that straps onto your seat and lets you feel the game through eight strategically placed vibration zones. Designed for sim racing, flight simulation and first-person shooter gaming, it turns road texture, turbulence and explosions into localized sensations felt across your back and seat. The HF8 fits gaming chairs, racing seats and flight seats, with adjustable straps for a secure fit, making it an accessible way to add a new layer of immersion to an existing setup. It also works alongside other haptic hardware or motion platforms, adding further customization to your experience.

On PC, the HF8 connects over USB and runs with Next Level Racing‘s plug-and-play HFS software, which reads in-game telemetry and drives each of the eight motors individually, with no extra sound card or amplifier required. In racing titles you can feel and fine-tune braking, acceleration, rev limiter, speed, engine RPM, ground effect and suspension, while flight profiles cover flaps, G-force, air brakes, ground bumps, damage, stalls and APU/JFS running. The intensity of each motor and each effect can be set to your preference and saved per game, and Next Level Racing documents optional SimHub support for advanced customization.

For consoles, music and movies, the HF8 connects through its 3.5 mm audio jack and converts the low frequencies of the audio signal into vibration felt through all eight motors at once, with intensity set on the inline controller. On PlayStation, the pad must connect to the controller’s 3.5 mm jack, so Bluetooth headsets cannot be used at the same time and a wired headset or speakers are required. Per-motor control requires a Windows PC with HFS. The pad is made from cold-moulded foam with perforated PU leather, supports users up to 150 kg and weighs 2.6 kg. The HF8 Pro adds stronger motors and premium mesh upholstery.
