All life is a game: TOP 5 gaming chairs

The eye-catching ergonomic chair from Special4You brand is an advantageous investment in providing a comfortable seat for the user during long stays at the computer.

The metal frame of the model rests on a 5-beam cross with rubberized wheels for silent movement on various surfaces. The main thing in the chair is a comfortable fit, which is achieved thanks to the anatomically correct high back with lateral support and a profiled seat. The material of the outer upholstery for the Special4you ExtremeRace was artificial leather.

The owner of the gaming chair has access to height adjustment, rocking mode with adjustable degree of rigidity, as well as flexible setting of the position of the armrests(up and down and back and forth). In addition, the model is equipped with a removable headrest and lumbar support pillow to match the overall image of the chair.

A number of certain difficulties often arise at the stage of assembling the model, which is primarily due to the lack of step-by-step instructions in the box with the product. This is located on the World Wide Web without any problems, but the adventures do not end there: either poorly cut holes for bolts come across, then there are mismatches in the attachment points, or even decorative covers covering the mechanisms of the chair are not inserted into the grooves at all. Flaws would be forgivable in view of the democratic cost of Special4you ExtremeRace, but they still leave a slightly unpleasant aftertaste from the first acquaintance with the model.

"Your" gaming chair, as follows from the naming of the manufacturer, is made according to all the canons of the gaming genre. He got a "racing" design, pronounced lateral support and an abundance of adjustments for a particular user.

The chair is designed for a person of average height weighing up to 150 kg. The metal base helps it withstand heavy loads. As a backing pad, the model uses Density Mold Foam, a deformation-resistant foam that properly holds its shape and does not fall through either after a month of active gatherings in front of a monitor screen, or after a year.

The seat height above the floor level is adjusted by a gas lift in the range of 7 cm. The chair also has a simple rocking mechanism without fixing intermediate positions. You can lie down to rest after a hot gaming battle right there, since the back of the 2E GC001 reclines to a supine position. Additional amenities are added by wide armrests, adjustable up and down, back and forth and in the angle of deviation.

If the ergonomics of the model are on top, then questions sometimes arise about the reliability of the nodes. After a while, some instances of the chair have backlashes in the design and the armrests cease to hold in the upper position. It is not a fact that the problems are massive, but in the reviews of the model there are complaints about these design features. Otherwise, the chair deserves close attention, outperforming competitors due to an attractive combination of comfortable fit and a tasty price tag.

The first gaming chair under the sign of the German brand Cougar was “rolled out” to the masses not so long ago - in 2016. The company's products are produced at production facilities in the Middle Kingdom and leave the impression of being reliable. In parallel, they lend themselves to flexible adjustment of positions to ensure the most comfortable fit for the user during long gaming sessions.

Model Armor One belongs to the genus of "racing" chairs and is recognizable among peers due to the characteristic features of the image: color in black and orange tones with a logo embroidered with strong threads and a diamond-shaped outer "wrapper" pattern. In the role of the latter, breathable eco-leather is used. The product is assembled on a high-strength steel frame that provides orthopedic support for the player's back.

The most comfortable conditions in the chair are created for gamers with a height of about 180 cm. For taller people, a pillow under the neck causes some discomfort, which is at shoulder level and does not allow leaning on the back. Another pad in the Cougar Armor One package is designed for the lower back.

The back of the model leans back to a fully recumbent position, which allows you to organize a "smoke break" without leaving the monitor screen. Also, the chair in the blink of an eye turns into a rocking chair with adjustable degree of rigidity of the rocking mechanism. Finally, the armrests can be adjusted, but only in height and in the horizontal plane. Out of the box, the armrests are sometimes not fixed properly, so it is recommended to hold them up when assembling. In terms of price and quality ratio, Cougar Armor One is No. 1 among its own kind, which explains its high positions in various charts of relatively inexpensive gaming chairs.

Moreover, for this growth, the model is suitable provided that the user's weight does not exceed 90 kg.

The seat is padded with sponge foam that holds its shape well. The outer upholstery is a combination of artificial leather, easy to care for and resistant to deformation.

When assembling the chair, reinforced mechanisms were used to withstand increased loads - Dxracer King OH / KS06 is able to take on board a user weighing up to 135 kg.

The massiveness of the chair does not cause any particular inconvenience, because. its movements on the floor are occupied by double wheels with a smooth ride. The model of "blue bloods" is good in everything, which means that the gamer in it remains to focus on solving the main task - careful control over the gameplay, being distracted to a minimum by external factors.
