LPT: If you use a ButtKicker/Bass Shaker, check the USB connections on your rig every once in a while.

Are you saying it came loose from the rumbling/shaking?

It's all I can think of. I have my wheel base, pedals, and a couple other things all connected to a USB hub that I had zip tied to one of the rails of my rig, and the plug for my pedals had fallen out of the USB hub.

That sucks mate… I was having some usb connection issues (usb drops) but yeah yours just sounds like it came undone.

Shakers and force feedback can really rattle things around!

I sincerely hope your PC is decoupled from your rig and your not shaking the PC.

Yup, PC is elsewhere, the plug for my pedals looks like it shook loose from the USB hub I have attached to my rig.
