How long have you had the chair, and how long have you used it?

Often chairs like this skimp on the cushioning materials used, and after a while you discover there is a wooden slat or something that digs into your but or at the end under the knee.

I still wonder who was the first to manufacture this style of chair. I assumed it was DXRacer, but at least 2 or 3 companies seem to be selling chairs of almost identical design, often with a similar name as in this case.

The whole market for "gaming chairs" is a joke. Ergonomic seating is a solved issue and "racing style" is not part of the solution. (You rightly note what racing seats are designed for above, and the g-forces encountered while sitting in front of one's computer seldomly require their use.)

I guess the margins must be real good on these things, though, the way the manufacturers keep doling out their review units.

How well will this chair support my "Muffin butt"?
Just saying!

I don't want it to rub on my assnipples..If you know what I mean. If not. I don't either!

I've got one of these too, not bad at all IF you put the cheesy aesthetic aside.

Mine is a little firm though comfort-wise so it is something I had to adjust to

It looks like any other gimmicky thing branded as a "gaming" thing and definitely doesn't feel cooler than the chair I'm sitting in now, which is a $3,500 office chair that they construct using what is essentially an actual big-rig trucker's long haul seat, set on wheels and hydraulics with the typical chair levers for adjustability. There is simply nothing that compares to the long-term comfort of the seat in a long haul truck.

Disgusting.

Sitting on a HUGE, SOLID, CUSHY armchair > all.

Yeah racing car seat for a computer chair makes zero sense.

Actually $350 is not considered expensive where computer chairs are concerned. Where I work(uncle sams basement) we have the HM Aeron chairs http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Aeron-Chair#BVQAWidgetID.

Mesh is a clear winner for keeping you cooler. I would much rather search for one of these chairs used than buy a racing gaming chair...I am a nerd and everything needs to be aesthetically pleasing but also have a purpose. Side bolstering does not have a purpose here.

It may be a decent chair but with all things flashy, you pay for it in looks and not quality...

Looks like these, no? http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_dp_s_web_1057794?ie=UTF8&field-brandtextb...

We need some long term testing. Ryan's claim that you could rock a baby to sleep on it clearly is unsubstantiated and needs raw data to back it up. It will pass the test if the baby successfully falls asleep.

I got a herman miller aeron size C that is a life saver. this is less than half that price. worth while if you sit a lot

Memory foam? How many Gb?

I am happy whit my IKEA VOLMAR chair, ware you also pay a lot for, but still cheaper then this chair.

And next to that i dont really like leather chairs in the summer, specially fake leather.

The Batman pun! HA ha !

I've been seeing these more often among gamers -- novice and pros.

They seem cumbersome while I watch these gamers play on these chairs. They twist and turn and sometimes it hits the desk or other items.

It also doesn't seem to be that comfortable because the players seems to fidget often compared to other players.

I don't have any personal experience with them, but with such a high price tag, it doesn't seem worth the trial and error.

I have this one. I really like mine. It's very well made. It has a steel frame and high quality foam. My old chair from Staples was falling apart within a couple months. This one is going to last a LONG time. I took the foam out of the lumbar pillow and put my rarely used 360 controllers in it, and hung it off the back of the chair. Mine had straps on it to that were supposed to be used to hold it in place. I'm not sure why the one Ryan got didn't. It makes for nice matching storage that way. As far as being gaudy, with so many ways to customize your computer with lights and paint jobs, having a chair that is just as good looking, certainly makes sense to me.

Here's the type of chair you guys really need.

Something like that is awesome for extended sessions - I've rebuilt the entire 1/2" thick metal plate undercarriage on mine.

They call this a racing chair, but if you use it for playing a racing game with a wheel with pedals, it's useless unless there's a way to stop it from rolling. Can those caster wheels be blocked somehow?

I have a hell of a time with chairs for my desk because every good chair has casters and everytime I go to brake in a racing game, it rolls back.

I had had the K-series chair since December. 4 of the arms of the base of the chair have twisted 45 degrees, and no, I'm not sure huge fat guy. The company has refused to answer warranty claim email for the last month.

Good luck ever getting someone to answer their phone.

actually, both this & DXracer chairs are worth the asking price. Made of a solid metal frame with lifetime warranty. The other materials used are top notch also. You can get more ergonomical or comfortable in any other chair. If u have never tried one, don't comment negatively cuz i own one...
