This I agree. So much nonsense for "gaming" chairs.
Just get a good normal comfy chair and it will get the job done.
1. Most gaming chairs below RM 1,000 are junk.
2. More often than not, bucket seat designs with wheel and priced high to the gullible. Bucket seats weren't meant for comfort in the first place.
3. MANY people give praise to cheap chairs ......... why? Because most of them are inexperienced, they sit one time they think it feels good and wah RM 1000 price now RM 500 only so nice.
Those experienced can tell you that the really GOOD gaming chairs out there are so different - foam quality, upholstery quality, even the base and wheels.
Unfortunately those that go give praise on some random chair are as what I said, inexperienced. Excited by their 30 seconds of sitting on something familiar.
What do you think?
My take is always if your budget below RM 1,000 - IKEA Markus it is, though there are reasonable gaming chairs at RM 500 - 1000 range but again do you want to spend there?
If anyone wants a gaming chair - allocate RM 1.5k get from brands like Secretlabs, Noblechairs, DXRacer and such .......... that is if you really want to spend and want a bucket seat design chair. If not then RM 500 IKEA Markus it is.
As for myself, I'm using a TT GT Fit - sitting on the chair like almost 8 hours every day for the past 3 - 4 years. No breakdown on mechanism, upholstery still in tact. Only the bottom foam starting to sink but it's still fine.
My other cheap gaming chairs had so many issues, upholstery torn, foam losing form, hydraulics fail and so on so forth.
