5 Reasons Gaming Chairs Are A SCAM

I’ve used a regular chair for gaming for over 20 years with zero back issues. I got an RS gaming chair a few months ago and my back hurts all the time.

iv had full recliners and iv had low tear and medium tear gaming chairs... go with medium tear gaming chair its cheap about 160, 200, its sleek comfortable easy to clean.

honestly i had my 150 dollar (50% off) akracing chair for like 5 years, works great, i dont feel scammed lol

Very good points well made thank you. Useful

Need for Speed: Tokyo Drift is my favorite gamovie!

Slightly more seriously, for the past 7 years I've been sitting in a DX racer gaming chair that's falling apart again (I already replaced the armrests and tilt mechanisim) and in doing chair reaseach I found your channel and your advise. My new HM embody is ariivng soon!

I already bought one

in my case gaming chair suited me best, its recline and tilt mechanism takes off the load from spine completely

My son loves this chair.

My physical therapist actually uses a Noble Chairs Icon in his office. So surely it's ergonomic if an actual physical therapist, someone specialised in ergonomics and seating positions, uses a gaming chair...

I think people completely forget when you are playing a game you don’t have your back straight to the chair. Unless you’re playing on a couch or something you just don’t do that. So them complaining about not being able to fit defeats the purpose of a gaming chair over all

Tendentious presentation. 1. Don't buy ANY chair that is not fit for you, try before you buy every posture you use sitting at your desk 2. Really cheap pillow can be changed for really good pillow, it's not truth that it's getting compressed that much and if such pillow exists - change the foam or pillow itself. Also you don't have to force your shoulders to be supported, don't be silly XD. 3. Truth, but not to the point that you're mention. You can strech a and move around actually. 4. Truth, mechanisms are less complex. It's not hard to recline on a racing style chair. You just have to set the spring tension that you have underneath. I can't imagine myself using it fully loosened. Also - hitting desk with your knees? Srsly? It's like telling ppl to not buy chair with wheels cus you can drive over your toes. Seat depth, cushions is all about points one and 2. 5 warranty coverage - chairs are not rockets, you can actually repair them easly and it's not something outstanding to see dxracer chair still operational after 15 years of abuse.

My mom bought me a gaming chair rc350 darkflash for my birthday its 7000 php thats 130 dollars U.S. converted and my back and butt starts to hurt after sitting in it for 2 3 hours :(

but if you get a good racing chair it wauld still not be bad right?

It's not an orthopaedic chair mate. For that purpose they yes are about as functional as the led bars dressing your monitor wall in the video. It's an aesthetic thing mate like most gaming room objects

Nice stool

It comes down to where the customers place the value. How many people wear uncomfortable clothes because they are stylish? I have never climbed inside a sports car that did not have issues getting in or getting out or not feeling every bump on the road. How many bikers ride bikes with rigid seats for comfort? Ergo-chairs are for people who work in an office environment and put a lot of hours sitting down. who wants to sit down and relax on a gaming chair? They are upright and rigid because while you are gaming, you are squirming around in any case. To me, what you have to watch out for is the actual chassis, the wheels, the arm-wobble and the gas cylinder that controls the height. Poor wheels drag, wobbly arms can be a pain in the neck and if the gas cylinder starts to loose pressure, then it is trash.

This guy's a buzz kill. Man get u one of these and a steering wheel with the foot pedals you'll be right in the cockpit of that skyline u always wanted

I love how gaming chairs are "hugging" me. For sitting in front of PC, tight seat (like in sport car) is much more comfortable for me than ergonomic chair or even huge livingroom armchair. Thats why I decided for Gaming chairs. Only disadvantage i see, is that i cant sit cross legged, which i would like to time to time. Headrest is dealbreaker for me too.

You forgot to mention that a good office chair, the one that you show in the video, costs more than 500-600 euro..

better than my wooden chair bro ;)

I sit on a church chair.

bro just let them do what they want you don't have to upload these videos no one cares they will buy it anyway

Bro. These are racing chairs, not gaming chairs.


Wake up people.

but do office chairs have RGB LED bluetooth speakers? I think not!

fail you trying to compare the 2 but are mainly in 1 chair being the more expensive chair i trying to understand if your an office guy why would you be making a gaming chair review

Wish I saw this before buying a secret labs chair which has been trash so much tail bone pain for a 800 garbage so many people promoting its comfort for long gaming.

My gaming chair has a massage pillow, a foot rest, reclines, has adjustable arm rests, and looks cool. An office chair would maybe have adjustable arm rests.

I recently got a gaming chair and it felt good for 2 days then it was just super uncomfortable after. The lumbar support was trash, the neck pad was trash, and the seat was so damn hard.

Saw this before I bought a cheapo chinese "gaming" chair. Thanks bro!

These seats are not uncomfortable if you weren't born with a silver spoon up your..... this seat reminds me of when I was homeless and used to sleep my $80,000 sports car. The feeling of this seat just reminds me of them good old days lol.

cus its for gaming no shot

Rip bozo

You're to big & tall for that gaming chair! I'm 5'8, weigh 185 lb & I think its the greatest! My Son is 6 ft & 225 lb & he wasn't comfortable in the chair either!

This video is a SCAM, gaming chars can be bad yes but most of them are very comfy while playing games thats why is a fk gaming chair, why would u compare gaming to office, people that are gamers need gaming chairs, this video is total BS.

with the reclining thig... BY GUY THERE IS A LEVER FOR THAT REASON LOL

Nah it think gaming chairs are better

when will they make a garfield gaming chair

Perfect analysis...

In my case, a gaming chair was the most comfortable for my office. I have degenerative disk disease & the pronounced curve ("lumbar support") in office chairs is excruciatingly painful. I got a fully loaded Aeron thinking the adjustability would be best. It was unusable for me.
A Flat back & seat is the only arrangement that is not painful. Once you remove the lumbar pillow, these gaming chairs provide just that & at a fraction of the cost. The only difficulty is finding one that doesn't look like it should be equipped with fart cans & a spoiler.

Omg thanks for enlighted me. U made a lot of good point that i didnt see. I was thinking about to buy gaming chair or ergo chair. But now i think ergo is better for my back. All i need is for the good of my back but not for the racing design!🎉

Tokyo drifttt.... Lol when was that a racing game. Hahahaha

i have an actually good gaming chair

How do you not understand that gaming chair hater

Well that’s because it is a bad brand😂

I'ts really important having those side-bolsters to hold you in your seat as you hit max g-force, spinning the chair around when you get up to go for a piss.

Bro really chose the worst gaming chairs and comparing them to all of the gaming chairs that exist outside of these ones that he chose to review.

I find gaming chair seating to be larger and more plush, and that the pillow as lumbar support is better than frame based lumbar support. Office chair seating requires you to sit in a certain position, often resting your back on the back of the chair. You can rest your back on a gaming chair but pillow as lumbar support allows you to also sit forward in a variety of positions. The tilt lock on gaming chairs allows you to tilt your chair in a more comfortable position. For me, as someone working in a chair for 10 hours a day, office chairs look underwhelmingly designed, and they sit the same way too. I don't see the value in a Herman Miller Embody, Aeron, Stealcase Leap V2.

Even Vergil's plastic chair much more comfortable than these "gaming" chair

Lol 😂 we all have opinions
