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

What chair do y'all use

Ikea Markus. Skip anything with the gaming label, office chairs are infinitely more comfortable. The arms are easily removed for simming, originally why I got it. r/OfficeChairs

Help me choose a desk chair

I woiuld advise against an Ikea desk chair. I've had the 1st and 3rd one. The Markus (1st) is decent, but very one size fits all and I didn't use it for long enough to see how it holds up after a year. The 3rd one was really great at first, but wore out very quickly and ended up making my body feel

Vana kontoritool on otsi andmas, oleks vist aeg uus soetada. Oleksin tänulik kui oskate soovitada mõnda budget friendly kontoritooli.

My productivity setup

Looks clean! Please get a better chair tho. Going from the IKEA Markus to a Herman Miller was life changing and worth every penny.

Turn naked recliner into functioning chair for cheap?

Theres 12 in stock at my local store in Las Vegas according to the website, but I doubt that helps. It seems it is limited to in store purchases. The as-is section is my first stop at every IKEA visit, generally near the check-out area. Many of my long time items were obtained there including my Mar

Do you adjust the Lumbar support from time to time or just set it up once?

I'm 185 cm tall and weigh 110 kg. I switched from Ikea Markus. The big problem for me is, the lumbar protrudes much more strongly, the more I recline in the chair. So if I sit upright, I have to protrude it 1/3rd of the way up to not sit like a shrimp. But when I want to recline, it suddenly pierces

Buying study table & chair

I don't know what you consider affordable but the ikea markus chair i have served me well for over 7 years, and once it developed a problem it was still under warranty which ikea honoured no questions asked. 199€ brand new.
