    Would you daily drive the Scorpion chair?!
    While we couldn't figure out how to adjust the monitor distance, the manufacturer sent over an email letting us know it actually is possible. Guess poor Elijah didn't need to be stuck with the "front row of the movie theater" experience after all...whoops.

    Maybe a solution for the keyboard/mouse tray angle while fully reclined, you could add an additional axis of movement for a steeper angle. Then, to prevent the keyboard from sliding off of the tray, you could implement holes for the stands on the rear of the keyboard to be slotted into with a securing device below to lock the legs into place.

    i must say - you can use an HDMI output on your graphics card to run directly to a dolby atmos enabled (or not enabled) surround sound receiver and send full dolby atmos to it and use this with as many speakers as that receiver would allow you to use. I currently have a movable desk with a curved Samsung 32 G8 on an Arcam 5.2.4 setup. I have an 77" LG C2 OLED on the wall which I can use if i either position my monitor in a different place or move the entire desk out of the way. Granted, this scorpion setup would probably be your only means of viewing, but - the option for the audio is still there.

  • @CheezSalad

    I have this chair. Bought it a year and a half ago. I love it! But assembly is a pain in the ***, and good luck trying to move it up the stairs (took me 6 months to get that done!).
    With 5 monitors it was a great productivity workhorse, but I just swapped out the bottom 3 monitors for a single 49" ultrawide - now it's wonderful for gaming!

Then I modified almost everything about it LOL. I've yet to find anything like this that works out of box. But I suppose for most people some assembly required doesn't usually include the MIG welder, band saw, taps, dies, additional metal, grinder, sander, drill press. It really is the only way to get one that fits you perfect... for this I would probably be cutting up and modifying the screen mount to make it both adjustable and further out.

    I have the MWE Labs Emperor XT chair and it is much more sturdier than this "scorpion" chair, it also supports 3x 32" displays. I tossed out the original cables, they were cheap and had issues with blinking the displays. I also threw out and replaced the 2.1 audio system it comes with, again, it was cheap and sounded terrible. I put 7.1 surround sound on it (installed the sub inside the bottom of the chair) and swapped the seat with a Secret Labs chair. I modified the Secret Labs chair to have a SubPac inside the back rest so it sounds and feels amazing and immersive. I also threw out the tiny keyboard tray and replaced it with a carbon fiber tray with steel under supports. The only thing this chair has on the MWE Labs Emperor XT chair is the price, the Emperor XT chair starts at 5k and can go up with customizations, but again, the build quality puts this wobbly chair to shame. You should get one Linus and do a comparison.

    I wasn't expecting to start a linus video with portuguese audio! I'm sure that's highly appreciated for those who doesn't speak English as well, funny thing is that I learned lots of English watching those videos.
