One Month Review of the Kat Walk C2 VR Treadmill

An in-depth unsponsored review of the assembly, compatibility, and overall suitability of this VR treadmill

Sorry you may have to turn up the volume really high as this was my first time mixing audio. I think the level is pretty stable albeit low overall.

I forgot to mention that companion Gateway software has sensitivity sliders that can reduce a delay in movement in game. Also, with the 2.10 Gateway software came a Walker Leader board and step tracker.

Also, I have included links to supported games below.

Awesome review! Thanks for spending some time talking about how it feels to use the Kat Walk. Looking forward to some "Into the Radius" content.

Thank you for this awesome review. :) I did buy mine on black friday and had a lot of issue with shipping and the client support. So I appreciate genuine reviews and happy to see I am not the only one having issue with the seat. I am 5'3 so yeah... Definetly in the way.
Honestly, I do regret buying my device so far :( but let's home time will change my opinion about it. Thank you for the video and look forward to more content :)

My thoughts on how to use this during a first person shooter (and any game where I'm not using the kat walk to move): Still use the joystick for movement, but stay hooked into the kat walk in order to stay in place in my physical room, thus avoiding the very real issue of running up against the virtual barrier, which has gotten me killed plenty of times in contractors.

Content is really improving massively! Great review as it answers some of my own concerns. Thanks!

9:17 You being out of scale with the world just makes this look hilarious. Like a giant bullying a bunch of kids :D.

[kayzoku]

best vid out there, proper honest and comlpete review, you have my likes sir

[DavidZetaKrone]

If it's of consolation, I can hear you just fine despite the background music. Also, this was exceptionally helpful, so thank you.

This video was a big help. Considering buying one for myself, but the space I had in mind is like 2x2 meters hope that is enough. I will be turning with my arms stretched later today to check :D

I just got the kat walk c2+ to play skyrim vr and it is physically demanding and very fun but i trugle walking sidewalks and backwards a lot. Hopefully i will be able to improve my footwork, but so far i feel way easyer using the stick instead of the treadmill.

Just ended up here after looking for reviews for this treadmill ❤ from across the Tube! Keep this type of informative content coming!

[jmatzgames]

After watching this video, I am even more confident in my purchase od the C2+. I'm mainly gonna use it for exploration and fps games since that's the only type I have in my library. I think it will be great in a game like Pavlov and H3VR an even boneworks

[Venoxium]

Great video! Also I agree that Into the Radius would be great with this! I probably won't be buying a VR treadmill anytime soon but maybe by the 4th or 5th iteration I'll get one.

Wow!!! Amazing video 👏
I wish I had this a week ago before I assembled mine, lol. I gave up screwing down many of the support feet but will now go back and fix that with some pliers. Best review of the C2 I've seen, fantastic job! I actually had mine in a box for over a month and was waiting for user reviews to come out as I was hesitant to keep it. Finally gave up on that and built it last weekend. First experience was awful... and I accidentally left the brakes on. Lol. 2nd was much better. I expect to like this more and more as I use it. The biggest detractors for me are the noise, and the feeling of being tied down. I miss being able to dodge backwards with my body! = (
Anyway, great review and info, thanks!!!!

They've had the sprint implemented for a while already. It seems to work great.

Speaking of the bottom cover, what I would do cause I noticed I couldn't thread I didn't use the washers and I would thread through the bottom first to make sure the threads didn't have paint thru it to make it hard to catch then I would go over the top and crank them down and bend then a little with the in box screw then remove the screw and attach to the slide mill. Wouldn't crank down to much just enough I'd just start to see it bend and it would slide on just fine once I attached them. Made it so much easier and they all attached just fine after this.

I'm 300 pounds I haven't had any issues yet but I'm not going to try jumping tell I get below 285 again lol

@10:30 thats kind of strange .... i got my c2 core new and i never tried it before and i tried it with the default layout the shoes come with and its far to much friction ... i removed EVERY thing from the shoes to VR expert ...and i think its much better !!!! i added also some sliding "mouse" stickers and a big teflon sticker on the fixed roller in the back to get more sliding cabability ..and so i think its way more comfortable!!! -why they designed the rollers with a fixed one ....???

Thanks for this great review. I did put C2 PLUS a 1000 times into the shopping cart but always hesitated to push the final checkout button. Shipping got a bit cheaper bis is till 370 US$ to GER. Also, i record my content with the Index microphone which is very sensitive. I wonder if the index picks up the feet movement sound of the C2 Plus. So, even tho I would describe myself as an enthusiast, I´m still hesitating.

[kalexs]

whats the game being played at 29:00? also amazing video! ive been thinking about buying a C2+ for a while and havent decided whether to sink in the money
