Setup was quick and painless. The core frame comes mostly assembled, and it's only the hinge covers and a few smaller pieces you need to add on yourself. No part of the job is particularly fiddly Dark And Darker Gold , and I had the whole thing put together in 15 minutes.

The wheel base mount has screw holes for a few different base layouts, but notably fewer than the Playseat, which has loads more compatibility. Still, for a cheaper base with a desk mount like the one I was using, the Thrustmaster T128, it's the perfect fit. That's because it appears to have been specially designed to support the desk clamp included with the cheaper Thrustmaster wheels, and the under-desk clamps fit snugly and level.

The included pedals with the T128 didn't actually fit the Dark Matter GT, but I'm chalking that up to this pedal set being a bit rubbish rather than a reflection of the stand. The T248's T3PM pedals fit just fine. If you really had to, you definitely could drill a couple screw holes into the mount easily and make just about anything work.

There's height adjustment on the Dark Matter GT to make it a better fit for your height, and as a 6'2" guy I found the longest setting the best fit. 

You can also adjust the angle of the pedals using the three provided notches. I've stuck with the middle option for now, but I'm thinking of going for a less aggressive angle by putting it down a notch. It's just a little too steep for my liking.

Those adjustments are all easy to do, and that's because there's not much to mess up with the Dark Matter GT. It's a lot simpler to build and adjust than the Logitech G Playseat, that's for sure, but noticeably less robust. The Dark Matter GT feels solid while you're racing, but I wouldn't be too heavy handed with it when setting it up and putting it away.

For my purposes, the Dark Matter GT has been a great fit. Admittedly it feels a little overpriced just because of the quality of some of the parts cheap Dark And Darker Gold , even though it's not that expensive in the grand scheme of racing setups. Still, it serves its purpose well.
