Adding "gaming" to a thing's description usually just means it has a higher price, a fancy paint job, and some impractical design choices.
The Razer Iskur is incredibly bad. Even whilst writing this comment, the seat keeps sinking down.
I bought a gaming chair once...key word ONCE.
I'm not sure if I'm the female streamer that likes to sit in chairs but I like to sit lotus on my chairs and be held by my chairs at lots of different angles sitting in weird ways a gaming chair seems better for that
I came to this same conclusion years ago regarding any product labeled "gaming". In my case it was headphones. Spending $200+ on gaming headphones that never lasted, had no replaceable parts and were generally just inferior to well known audiophile brands. It was well worth and cheaper in the long run to save for a nice pair of headphones. My Sennheiser headphones are going on 12 years old now, can replace the cables, pads etc and just as good as the day I bought them.
Twist test is the only test necessary
Ok but im 6,4 140kg and just destroy these light ergonomic chairs.
I gamed and worked from home on a crappy chair for a long time. I finally invested in a quality chair and I've noticed a huge difference when it comes to comfort. I would say I regret not doing this sooner but truthfully it wasn't something I could afford at the time. I have that Mavix M9 in the video and love it.
I don’t know how this concept of a seat meant to cradle people in a moving vehicle somehow became a thing to sell people sitting at home.
This is gold for me. I got a remote job and my computer chair works for paying bills, or kids doing homework. All day, it is so bad. I also had a spinal fusion surgery 3 months ago, so that doesn't help. I don't have a big budget yet, but i can probably do a $300 chair for now. Thank you.
Great video as usual. 2 things to note. Steelcase Amia owner here (love the chair by the way I got in 2011 and it has been incredible.) I still find my self grabbing my gaming chair around once a day for a specific task. I also have an extra one for you guessed it my sim racing setup. After it’s all sim racing I want the realism. So that is a point you could have added it is great for people who sim race and want to feel as close to possible and get as much realism as possible. 2nd point, you noted the full recline function is trash. However that’s the reason I grab the chair. I have a tall padded thing I use as a footrest I lay my feet on it and then use my monitor arm to get my big 49 inch monitor high and pointed downward. I use my full recline grab my controller and play laid back games with my controller laying back in a comfortable position just having a good time. So yes an office chair is so much more comfy, however there is specific occasions where a gaming chair is better, I feel like my 2 situations are the only ones. You could also maybe say for looks but I would still rather just get a cool looking office chair.
Thanks for this, and sharing your insight!
Thank you man, mind blowing logic!
Really good video. I’ve been wanting to know this, as I’m currently looking for an office chair
Thanks for your video. I like your table (I mean black table). Please tell me what brand it is?
Thanks a lot buddy! This helps a lot!
Thanks. This is one of the most helpful videos on CZcams! ❤
RAZER ENKI and Asus Destrier Ergo are descent options worth considering.

thanks for the video! I actually had the same thoughts and you just proved to me that I'm right. Even cheap but properly shaped office chair is much better than highly-priced gaming chair.
