So are gamingchairs worth it?
My old office chair is a bit too low in height, then I saw they sell gaming chairs in my local pc store for only 300€ so i'm wondering are they worth it? You see many streamers and pro gamers use them so i'm wondering what's the deal with them
Ditch the chair and get a table that you can use while standing.
>>343165705
im not standing like some fucking slave
>"gamer" branded overpriced flashy thing
or
>actual good office chair that's designed to be comfy enough to prevent people who sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day from killing themselves
>>343165494
>only 300€
You can buy a xbox one and 2 controllers with that money you shitlord
>>343165494
>You see many streamers and pro gamers use them
>or only 300€ so i'm wondering are they worth it
grow up and go get a real chair, child.
>>343165853
>consoles
>>343165839
well its very egonomic and it looks sweet of course but yeah maybe a 300 dollar office chair would be a good idea too but those arent designed for gaming
>>343165494
I bought a maxnomic because they have better shaped ones and better quality
Expensive as fuck but I'm satisfied, very adjustible and seems like it'll last.
For the record, at best I could spend the same money on some mediocre office chair which is about half as adjustable.
>>343165494
I like mine. Had it for a few years now.
Lots of shit posting about these chairs though. I prefer it over the Steelcase chairs I've tried/used. They're firm chairs.
I just want a chair I can sit in all day without the fucking cushions deflating after a month, is that so hard to ask?
>inb4 lose weight
i'm 190lbs
>>343165938
You're not going to be looking at it, you're going to be putting your ass in it.
>but those aren't designed for gaming
Your ass isn't doing anything different in that chair just because you're playing a game.
>>343166015
how much?
>>343165853
but why would you want an xbox one?
>>343165938
>but those arent designed for gaming
What does that even mean? You're sitting on a chair, there is difference between playing video games or doing office work or whatever.
>>343165768
standing is the new smoking breh
>>343166103
well you sit straight up and for longer than 8 hours and it keeps you paying attention for extra kills
>>343166084
400€
One from their office-comfort series
>>343166060
Sadly its either soft-foam padding that feels good at the beginning but deflates if you sit too long in it and goes to shit in a few months - or firm/hard foam thats not nearly as comfy as the soft ones - but atleast keeps its shape.
Can get used to the latter
>>343166060
125 pound skele here does that happen?
>>343166424
You can sit in my lap and see if this cushion deflates or something else
>>343165494
>Take bogan chair
>double the price
>Tell them its for gaymurrs
>idiots actually buy it
Don't be fucking stupid.
Here's the best kept secret in chairs: Go find literally any old traditional high back wooden chair at an estate sale, yard sale, etc. doesn't matter as long its real wood and buy a wheelchair cushion for it.
Why do they even go with "racer" design?
Racer seats are SUPER uncomfortable and hard as fuck.
Now trucker or bus driver seats are very comfortable.
>>343166607
For the record, the people who buy the pictured knockoffs are the ones who fuck themselves over the most
Some of the brands are low quality, some of them are better, all of them offer more in features than that thing and even the worse of them will last longer.
>>343166791
But a chair won't be comfortable or ergonomic at all just because its wood.
I wouldn't buy a chair without all-adjustable handrests at all.
>>343165768
Well eletric tables are also great with chairs, as you can also adjust the height of the table to be perfect for you. I usually try to do all my work while standing and sit while gaming. It's good for your back!
>>343165494
>You see many streamers and pro gamers use them so i'm wondering what's the deal with them
That's because sponsors, no one needs a fucking racing chair for gaming. All the shit they use has been given to them through promotions to get commercial advertisements. Think of Linus tech tips for reference. In fact he'll throw a fucking fit when he doesn't get a reference card the week it comes out.
>>343165494

I fall asleep on this thing. My pets refuse to claw it for some reason which is a bonus.
I just don't think about how much I spent and I don't feel so bad.
>>343166607
dont forget they add the comfy little neckpillow
>>343167130
>mfw slept like 3 hours on mine yesterday
Its neat that it had happened before with my old chair but atleast I don't wake up hurting in this.
>>343166967
>But a chair won't be comfortable or ergonomic at all just because its wood.
You're a fucking mongoloid.
>>343167094
Alternatively buy a luxury car seat and hook it up yourself with the star/wheels/handrests
But yeah that shit is about as good as it gets
>>343167290
I'm not the one sitting in some old ass chair thinking I hit jackpot.

I'm not an assless mongoloid.

Yeah, you are an ass mongoloid.
Again, a shitty wooden chair won't be ergonomic or comfortable necessarily.
Keep your "secret" of how to...buy used chairs and enjoy them.
>>343165938
>designed for gaming
Remember to also purchase Gamerfood and our keyboard + mouse for a total of $2000. Stop gaming like a noob!
I feel like I can ask this here. What's a reliable chair, doesn't neccessarily have to be a "gaming" chair. since my current one is almost ready for the trash bin and I can't decide what to get.
>>343165839
I tried several office chairs, but there are few that have more than just a height feature at the same price as a knockoff of >>343165494.
>>343167543
You keep trying to make a come back, but you seem to be angry that lack an ass or a tail bone.
You keep throwing around the word ergonomic without knowing what it means. Chairs are by default ergonomic you autistic slap happy mongoloid.
Master chair
>>343167395
Too low down, can't adjust the height, can't move it closer to your PC without dragging it on the floor, have to shuffle the legs on the floor when you want to stand up.
Sounds great
>>343167551
Chairs are the single most subjective choice you can make in your station, you'll get just as many people talking about how $1000 office chairs are the best, how the ikea markus is actually better, how gaming chairs make you game faster and how whatever dogshit cum covered chair someone got out of a dumpster was actually the best and most comfortable choice they could make.
>>343167395
grandpa pls go back to bed
>>343165494
>buying chairs online
Honestly I don't see how people can buy them without a chance to try them out first, see how they feel, etc. Just because it looks comfy doesn't mean it is. i've seen some comfy ass looking chairs that hurt like hell after sitting in it for more than 5 seconds.
>>343167675
I guess when you fill out chairs, instead of sitting on them, it might be that way.
>>343167790
I'm glad you've accepted you're retarded and decided to stop throwing the word ergonomic around.
>>343167749maxnomic takes their shit back at no cost for 2 weeks, the only reason I was willing to give them a go
>>343167840
Still won't be ergonomic.
You haven't even tried to explain your point you ad-hominem slinging shithead.
No amount of throwing insults will manifest a handrest on your shit chair.
You are all small time.
Don't get Ikea Malkolm
>>343167915
I've used them from time to time at work, not comfy at all.
Most people end up using them as a footstool
>>343167130
>I just don't think about how much I spent and I don't feel so bad.
I spend more time in my chair than I do in my bed
I spend more time in my chair than I do at work
Getting a great chair that feels comfortable is worth every penny.
>>343167906
You're implying I'm not sitting in a typical office chair. But do tell me more about ergonomics and how it isn't a buzzword on chairs. Hey fun fact about sitting is that you're only suppose to do 3-4 hours a day of it. Maybe tell me some about Reaganomics, sounds like ergonomics so you might be able to tell me some about it.
>>343168004
I'm sitting on one right now. It's literally the best in terms of ass cushioning support. The only drawback is not being able to lean back on anything.
>>343167915
You still end up slouching after a bit.
I traded my PS4 for one of these.
Best deal I've ever made.
>>343168110
Oh wow thats so relevant when we are talking about chairs for daily use, now fuck off back to your wooden chairs mate.
>>343168135
>>343168135
Maybe that way, but being constantly unstable and basically not being able to take on any other pose quickly makes me sit back on a regular office chair here (which are very expensive ones anyway)
I'd still choose muh gaymur chair at home over either.
I've heard gaming chairs improve your K/D ratio by about 25%!
>>343168180
This is why I know you're autistic you haven't even been talking to the guy talking about wooden chairs. You're just a mongoloid who wants to fight because buyer remorse on your racing chair with wheels. What gets me the most is that you have now wasted an inglorious amount of time arguing about this. Ergonomics is a default thing about chairs. A chair cannot be a chair if it is not ergonomic.
>>343168273
Holy fuck I'll take 10.
>>343167915
Is that the new chair meta?
>>343168342
Oh yeah, like 3 minutes wasted on some retard who keeps coming in to insult me but never says anything worth a shit replying to.
What will I do without those 3 minutes of my life?
>You see many streamers and pro gamers use them so i'm wondering what's the deal with them
It's called advertising you god damn retard. They're a stupid trend aimed at young retards who obsess over streamers and middle aged morons who follow the same shit due to being incompetent man children. All chairs under $500 will break or severely deteriorate within a few years unless you barely use them.
>>343167130
If the arms can go all the way back, thatd be a good chair to fuck in.
>>343165494
no absolutely not
>>343167915
So you like balls, eh?
>>343168562
>yfw theres a warning on your chair that its not for two people to fuck in
Also FYI for anyone wanting one of these - the "wings" on the lower back of the backrest are atleast a bit in the way when you are trying to fap.Also FYI, its pretty comfy for assplay though, as you'd expect from a gayming chair
>>343168168
these kind of chairs seem like they'd dig into you hamstrings

My old chair was very much like that
The plastic handrests kept breaking since they hold the back and nothing else, so even just sitting back in the chair will strain the weak plastic handrests.
Still, I fixed it up again and again because it was pretty big and comfy, the padding disappeared in 5 years and replaced the handrests with entirely different ones and fixed the back to the seat in a different way.
It was an ok purchase. A little high on price but it's been pretty durable. Survived my 260lbs brother when other chairs will lose a leg or wheels. I just wish I bought the wider one since my nephew or I fall asleep on it.
>>343167696
If that thing is even half as uncomfortable as it looks, then it's bloody damn fucking uncomfortable.

>>343174893
Funny is how it doesn't look comfy at all
Who the fuck wants to climb in and out of a cockpit...
>>343165494
I bought one of the gaming meme chairs to see what it was like. Turned out to be ok. Maybe slightly less comfortable than an affordable standard office chair whilst the padding isn't worn. It does however seem a lot more durable. After having used it for two years there's still no visible sign of wearing or strain. All my old office chairs would usually have started the process of falling apart by this point.
>>343175030
>even cheaper knockoff that'll break even faster!
>>343175124
so? a normal fucking wooden chair does the job as well. but doesn't cost over 300 bucks. unless you weigh 300 pounds this should hold you easily.
>>343175061
I would.
>>343175221
>unless you weigh 300 pounds this should hold you easily.
This is what the retarded believe and then whine when their chair is an uncomfortable piece of shit in 1 year, falling apart, flakes of faux leather everywhere and all that.
The "so" is that you can buy a chair for a price - or you can buy a chair pretending to be a better chair for a price.
Protip: one of them is not trying to sell on its value, but on trying to pretend to be something it is not.
This thread is a fucking cringe fest.
I own pic related. It's super comfy. As comfy as my office chair at work. It was 170€ on ebay. So fuck it. It says "Gaming chair", so what? You can actually sit in it for hours without having any problems.
A GOOD office chair designed to be used 8-10 hours a day is 900€ anyway. Good chairs aren't cheap. If the quality is right, why not buy a gaming chair.
>never sat in a DXRacer though
>>343165494
Most streamers and gaming youtube channel owners get these chairs for free, for the reason you mentioned. Their free chairs are paid for by you paying the inflated price.
No they aren't worth the price at all, you can get unknown branded char for $100 that is just as good, if not better.
If you're the kind of person that will pay double the price for a t-shirt due to a brand name however, then yet go for it. You will "feel" it being worth it from that.
>>343165494
Bought a $150 office chair from a local store, less than a year the fabric was ripping and the hydraulics stopped working. I'm 6 foot and 200 lbs with a long back so I bought a dxracer tank series for $450 because most office chairs you're only supposed to sit in for around 3-7hrs a day. It hasn't been a year yet but I'm hoping that the hydraulics last more than a 2 years. The bucket seat takes a bit to get used to but it's pretty comfy. The extra lumbar support helps a lot too if you have a long back.
What up guys true gaming master race coming through!
Actually, this chair really fucking hurts to sit in, and scratches up my elbows...
"Gaming" chairs are garbage toys made for children. You have to be a real fucking moron to actually waste money on one because you're paying 2-3x the price because they branded it with "gaming".
Buy a real office chair instead. The more money you spend, the happier you'll be. A good chair will last you decades. A gaming chair will last you 2-3 years if you're lucky.
>>343176162
>No they aren't worth the price at all, you can get unknown branded char for $100 that is just as good, if not better.
While we can certainly discuss if they are "worth it" for a person - that is just simply not true in any way, shape or form.
You will never in your life buy a chair that is as good or better than brand-name gayming chairs for $100.
Never.
Anyone knows a chair with a higher seat? I looked through available models only to find they all max at 54 cm.
>>343176591
Whoops, I bought an iron series not tank.
>>343176965
>You will never in your life buy a chair that is as good or better than brand-name gayming chairs for $100.
Yeah maybe if you're a fucking retard. How dumb are you? Do you actually know what the fuck you're talking about?
>>343177060
Better than you do, which is why all you could come back with was
>hurr du you kno what u talk about
>>343177060
Not him but have you ever bought a high quality chair? Chairs that are supposed to last for years while being used daily for hours? Office or not they start at around 400-500€ a piece.
>pro tip: you won't find them on amazon
>>343177015
my maxnomic starts at 53cm as its lowest point, its actually a bit too high - other people complained about their feet not touching the ground even on the lowest setting
I'm 6'2" and indeed if I raise the seat even a bit my legs will be off the ground.
>>343177148
If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to buy anything branded with "gaming", you're a lost cause. I really don't give a shit if you waste your money or not, you should just stop fooling other people as well. Most "gaming" chairs are about as good as the shit you can find on Ikea. I know because I've bought several and always have to replace them within a year or two.
>>343177203
Pro tip: that's my actual job at an IT firm. I'm just trying to help people. Buying gaming chairs is useless
>>343170893
but how do you get thecumstainsout?
>>343175474
Where can you actually get a chair for 900€? I sort of want one since im sitting in this thing for 12 hours a day and my posture is fucked.
Buy Mesh_chair?
Y/N
>>343177353
>blah blah no I know better
No you dont and you definitely never owned a brand name one.
Their featureset is triple that of an ikea chair, and while I can't vouch for the quality on all of them - they sure as fuck will be tougher than the cheapest ikea shit you can buy granted very simply thanks to their construction.
Gaming shit may make these chairs overpriced - but even priced correctly they are ABOVE in both quality and price than what you are suggesting.
Now git that anecdotal story in here about how you bought that brand name DYRaycer chair and the gaslift exploded and castrated you.
>>343177353
that's good to know as it is my job aswell.
That doesn't change the part that you'll get anything better than a gaming chair for 100€.
Chairs for this little money are usually shit. Gaming or not.
So I guess it doesn't matter if you buy a 100€ chair or a 250€ gaming chair where both are on an equal shit level.
>>343177448
Instead of fake leather, yes. But it'll wear out fairly quickly.
>>343177431
Find a local store that resells old used chairs from big companies. Just wash them

We use ones much like the second one you posted, 500€ or so (we have 3 different types but they are mostly the same)
My gaymen chair was cheaper and is just as good in quality, not to mention it has actual lumbar support (not even those shitty pillows) and several more settings to its back and armrests.
Gaymen chair was still 100€ cheaper.
Gayming shit is overpriced, but has nothing on how overpriced enterprise stuff can get.
Same as laptops basically.

dude no joke, i thought that chair looked like fucking shit when i first saw it but so many people hyped it up i had to see what it was about. I went to an ikea and sat in one, i'll be damned if it isn't the most comfortable chair i ever sat in. seriously if you have an ikea nearby go try it.
