POV of gamers rushing to yell slurs after League of Legends added voice chat

Every time I look at setups like this my first and only thought is "there is no space for the mouse". The entire desk surface seems smaller than a G840 mousemat in both directions and leaves no room for the forearm for arm aiming. Also, the reclining chair doesn't seem particularly conducive to focu

Does anyone own this chair? Is it even worth spending this much on a chair?

Rm600 isn't that much for an ergonomic chair. Ikea markus which i would regard as entry level ergonomic chair cost rm600. Its ergonomics are not top tier but its build quality is solid as it is made of metal. This chair seems to have many moving parts and it looks like it is made of plastic. Best wa

How much would you spend on a chair for your WFH setup?

If you are going for an Aeron, you really need to try before you buy. They come in different sizes based on size and weight.

What chair do y'all use

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck

I think that you misread that. They are saying that the gaming chairs are 2x-3x the price of the Ikea Markus, but the Ikea Markus is better than them.

Preporuka za radnu stolicu do 40-50k ?

IKEA Markus / Jarvfjallet. Dalje nemoj gledati, jedino ako baš ne skupiš nekog keša za Herman Miller Aeron (polovnu). Gaming stolice na racing fazon su ti najveće smeće što se tiče kvalitete i svega ostalog, ergonomski su ti užas, pa zaobiđi termin "gaming chair" koliko god možeš. Gledaj kancelarijs

Gaming chair got broken

Personally I'd recommend the Markus from Ikea. It's about as good a chair you can find without going into the €400+ office chair segment.

do you have office chair recommendations for a full time wfh student?

The Ikea Markus is absolutely fantastic and comes with a 10yr warranty. Don't be fooled by expensive gaming chairs. https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/p/markus-office-chair-vissle-dark-grey-30261152/

Where do you get home office furniture from?

Ikea is fine. A Markus is a great chair, and not everyone can afford Herman Miller even used, which people love to forget because chair good. edit to add:IN terms of desk, an IKEA countertop + some legs works great. Their countertops these days are not solid wood, so if you go for a long one or will
