I just set it up so I dont know how much of the desk vibrations will be picked up while gaming so thats yet to be seen. If your feet are doing a certain dragging movement in a certain direction, then your brain actually expects you to propel forward, so it does work. Clean sound. The arm is so long that putting a lot of weight on the end, especially with the pull out rod, can create a lot of force (think of a lever) on the wall mount screws. I WOULD NOT buy these, as they broke on me with very light use. Im so glad I purchased them. 5 bit small and 8. I cant complain about the souls but Ill complain all day that theyre too small and the one day shipping took 3 days. The overall width is slightly narrow, but the straps fit well without digging in. The slippers are very comfy.
