Gamers are Toddlers

Gamer chairs have terrible ergonomics and the build quality is often ass. People only think they're good because they've only used something like a wooden kitchen chair or an Ikea Markus. Proper office chairs are far superior.

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

I'm not made of money, herman miller aeron alternatives?

Was in the same situation couple years back and the Ikea Marcus was the second tier favorite at the time. Not even a 2k+ chair will fix your underlying issues (my old job always bought the ergo best and cycled them as new hotness came about) but a Marcus should not exacerbate issues like a cheap Off

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck

An ikea markus has better reclining mechanism and ergonomy, than most gaming chairs at 2x-3x price.You just have to look for something better, and not get stuck at "but gaming chairs are cheaper than herman miller"

Europe makes the best chairs in the world. Here is what to buy instead of Herman Miller if you are in the EU.

If you don't want to buy US, you can also fetch some Sidiz (or Techo/white label-branded) chairs that are built in Europe despite being a South Korean design. Amazon used to stock these (namely the T50, but well, that's another US company...), but in Portugal I know they are sold by Guialmi and Marl

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. But the issue is in my experience seat pan isn’t adjustable so you need to make your legs are properly supported. Steelcase Leap V2 are also decent. You see them pop up the od

This better be worth it

Had the IKEA Markus for 5+ years. Solid chair, but I was at the same place with you, sitting 12+ hours per day. I got the gaming embody 3 years ago and never looked back. Love the chair
