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

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"

Company has mandated 2 days WFH from next week. Help me set up!
I personally think standing desks are redundant unless you are constantly on video calls, you can just stand and work at your usual desk and see if that's comfortable. At least a 24 inch FHD external monitor is a must, you can adjust the size and resolution based on your use case. If you don't care

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

What computer chair would you recommend and from where in Adelaide?
Cloth and mesh are your friends. Fuck the pleather shit! Edit: my current chair is a 10y old Markus form IKEA. I bought a new one recently as the old one is kinda dirty looking now but it still functions! New one was nearly $100 cheaper than the original purchase.

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

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

Vana kontoritool on otsi andmas, oleks vist aeg uus soetada. Oleksin tänulik kui oskate soovitada mõnda budget friendly kontoritooli.
IKEA Markus - 150€ vms? Best bang for buck tool, kunagi tegin researchi ja kuskil oli see valitud isegi kolmandale kohale best chairs vms listis(esimesed 2 olid herman millerid), siiani kõik semud kes proovinud on, ei ole kahetsenud.

Desk is too high and looking for solution.
Yeah that sucks. Desks like that really shouldn't be used for long work sessions. The only solution is to change the desk, so that it has the thickness of a normal desktop, like 3-4cm. Yes, the narrowness of this space is also really awkward. You need more space so you can move around, stand up, str
