Finally went for it... Why didn't I do it sooner, makes all other chairs inferior!

Watched this Secretlab vs Blacklyte comparison, what’s everyone’s take on it?

What are the better chair brands now?

I really like my Blacklyte Athena chair but if I had the money Id spring for Fractal Designs Refine chair. It looks quality and comfortable and with all the features you would need for a good solid office chair.

I need a recommendation on a chair I want to buy

Out if the 3 I’d go with the Razer. Have you checked Amazon for the TC-200? Also look into the blacklyte Athena x it’s similar to secretlabs but more comfortable.
