The Qubic QS 210 is a budget-friendly motion system that offers professional-level performance for immersive simulation experiences. It features two control boxes with two actuators each, achieving high velocity and stroke, and is easy to install with a user-friendly software interface.
The Qubic QS 210 is a budget-friendly motion system that offers a high level of performance. It is a slightly scaled down version of the Qubic QS 220, which received positive reviews. The QS 210 is designed to provide immersive simulation experiences by addressing details like game sounds, isolation of ambient sounds, and force feedback. It offers motion compensation to enhance VR experiences and supports a variety of simulation titles.
The QS 210 features two control boxes with two actuators each, achieving 400 mm per second velocity and 60 mm stroke. While it is less powerful than the QS 220, it still provides a great experience and is priced at 60% of the QS 220’s cost. The system can recreate sensations like riding over rumble strips, going off jumps, and varying surface conditions, helping users feel fully immersed in the simulation. Actuator stroke and speed are important considerations for achieving the desired feeling.
The installation of the QS 210 is straightforward, with the control cabinets securely mounted below the simulation platform and the actuators attached using included brackets and hardware. The system includes an updated mc6 for connection to the PC and offers a user-friendly software interface, Cubic Manager, for firmware updates, game profiles, and customization. The QS 210 is suitable for use in various environments, but it is important to consider sound and motion propagation, especially in apartment buildings or shared spaces.
While the QS 220 offers more tilt, heave, and speed, the QS 210 is already capable of providing a professional-level experience. It is a cost-effective option that surpasses the needs of most users and is easy to install. The QS 210 fills the gap in the Qubic ecosystem and is a compelling upgrade. It does not diminish the value of the QS 220, especially considering the adjusted price point. Overall, the QS 210 is highly impressive and continues to exceed expectations during testing.
