Any PC brahs have a nice gaming/office chair they could recommend?

steelcase > herman miller

Whatever you do don't get a gaming chair, get a used steelcase or HM

[iifymbro]

fuark sounds like the steelcase gesture might not be good for taller people, fml wen will manmores learn

edit: went with the leap, seems like the better chair for normal to bigger sized people

My gaming chair's fine... got the one below.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

After having it for a couple of years it still holds up. The pillows aren't very comfortable, and it can't do all the crazy lumbar adjustments some of these chairs are capable of.

Might get a new gaming chair in 2021/2022, and if I do I'm currently having my eyes out for perhaps a special edition of the below.

Got to try it out at a friend's place and it's SICK. Very comfortable.

damn the steelcase gesture looks hnnng af, tempted to buy one off their site and avoid all the used/refurbished landmines, looks like ~1k for the quick ship black one

You can get matching other furniture as well, I grabbed a filing cabinet for my home setup




Haven't used a Leap long term myself but did trial one while checking out options and it seemed solid af as well

yeah the titan and omega reviews online are awesome (some saying best on the market) so disappointing in this thread to have two people say they fell apart.

[freeburn]

Dx racer crew, would not buy this chair again.

they're either shills or someone who just got it. they make you review it or post about it to extend the warranty by a year or two. that's why there's so many positive reviews.

[iifymbro]

Steelcase Leap V2 if you cross your legs like lotus pose

Herman Miller if you fart a lot and don't cross your legs

yeah and I know some of these companies set up review sites just to rank their chair first and link it. Can't trust anything these days.

Fickin' ta just go up to Office Depot and sit on everything there lol.

[Destor]

Yeah if you're planning on spending 500+, certainly 1000+, it's worth going around to test things and talk to people. I hit both Herman Miller and Steelcase dealers in my search. Sat in the Aeron, the Embody, the Leaps, the Gesture, etc etc etc


The Steelcase dealer also had their own Used inventory with great prices

[Didlid]

Wat? I've had my cookies & cream breathable material (forget what it's called) Titan for about a year and it's great. I'm also ~ 6'3''/6'4'' but only 186 lbs. right now as I have been cutting so maybe our size difference is a factor.

Mine is the leather one, i think maybe one of the first edition ones. Maybe they're better these days but mine is awful i don't think i'd ever buy secret labs again after this. Not only is it uncomfortable and the arms dont go high enough up but the actual rubber like material on the arms have all split and started coming apart which is weird because 95% of the time my arms are on my desk and not even on my arm rests lol.

Maybe its just me but i just can't find a single thing i like about this chair and don't find any of it comfortable. Next time i'd probably go for a mesh chair or something like that.

Mine is like this one for reference

[CaliSuperSport]

Well I have sat on this for 4 years:

$1300, Herman Miller Aeron.

And it was 'nice'.

Than I sold it and got this instead:

$160, Ikea Markus

And it gives me better back and arm support than the Aeron.

This is the old school gaming recommendation, alot of people say that chair is solid.

Another option is the Stapes Hyken Mesh. It has a decent number of features and support for the price, about $110-160



If you're over 6'0, there's a modified headrest you can get that places it higher. Also, don't hammerfist the armrests like I did from gamer rage, you'll break the adjustment knob.

[iifymbro]

I always have ignored gaming chairs from the outset because they have side bolstering like it's a fukking race car seat..... it's a desk chair...

"Gaming chairs" are the stupidest thing ever. I really don't get how the fad caught on as much as it has.

Because they look cool to the viewers when the Twitch streamer is away from his keyboard.

Literally, that's how they sold so much.

I have secret lab titan and its been amazing for me for the last two years or so. Can sit in it for 12 hrs w no issues (i work from home) and it has not degraded or worn out at all. I am also 6'5 and it was one of the few chairs companies that catered toward tall brahs. If you are shorter they have regular size chairs too but i think titan is designed for taller people.

Mine is the leather one, i think maybe one of the first edition ones. Maybe they're better these days but mine is awful i don't think i'd ever buy secret labs again after this.

You fukkin what mate. My has been good and comfortable af. My friend also got his a week or two after i got mine and he has been happy with his for the two years he has had his.


If the chair was really as bad as you say it is there is no way the company would be able to suppress the complaints on the internet. It would be a bunch of people making negative youtube videos about it.
