Gamer chairs suck, do yourself a favor and just get a proper office chair. I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home with extra big caster wheels and it’s great.

I mean the similarity is not a coincidence. Gaming chairs are modeled after racing seats which are five point harnesses designed to keep the occupant safe in a car crash… exactly like toddler car seats.

I can see a use for actual racing seats in racing games to enhance the immersion. The faux racing gaming chairs took off because some chair company sponsored streamers. Streamers like them because they’re something to look at on stream rather than a bland office chair. For everyone else a bland office chair is way better.

Noooooo, Car seats are actually comfortable.

I like my Herman Miller chair, my kids do not like there car seats.

I had that chair. It’s fucking terrible. My back has never been so sore

Any suggestions on decent chairs? I’m in the market for two chairs for my wife and son doing grad school and college from home.

Everyone says they get aerons or steelcase leaps cheap but in central Texas the best I’ve seen are 400-600 and at least an hour drive each way. That’s still kind of steep for me (especially given the two household members in university right now)

Interesting fact, gaming chairs often have less ergonomic support and less adjustability than office chairs, making them inferior for sitting relative to office chairs.
