Any one using the 2020 edition come with improved PU leather 2.0?

How is the experience so far? Any peel off issue?

PU leather anyhow also will be peeled off after a few years, get the softweave version, worth the money

after using secretlab omega 2020 soft weave version for almost a year now, i think it's time to give my opinion and verdict on the chair. the chair:

user posted image

basically, do not buy "gaming-shaped chair", including secretlab. secretlab is just a more expensive "gaming-shaped chair". i'm not aiming towards things like the PU leather peels too easily, how to clean your softweave fabric or what not, i'm talking about its overall comfort quality and ergonomics.

secretlab omega 2020 soft weave: the pros
- it looks nice and the softweave is very breathable so you can go long without sweating like those with PU leather.
- features like reclining etc.

secretlab omega 2020 soft weave: the cons
- all of these gaming chairs are THE SAME, including this omega 2020, other than some functionalities and features, and apart from the logo.
- they're the same stiff not-really-ergo chair, with 2 flaps on the side (upper and lower) pushing your shoulder into bad posture as well as not giving enough room for your thighs, and then alongside with a lip at the edge the seat that pressures and makes your lower legs sore due to poor circulation.
- their "cold cure foam mix" is basically just stiff, tough, firm cushion and doesn't really feel "oh-so-good" like what they've advertised. even my dining chair's cushion feels more comfortable.
- due to its stiff cushion, sitting on it any longer will make you actually want to stand up due to leg fatigue as the cushion is pressing against your thighs.
- if you actually have sat on a real deal office ergo chair before, you'll know you cannot find such comfort on omega 2020, or titan 2020, or any gaming chair.

do yourself a favor, get an actual office ergo chair. don't go for secretlab because of its looks and prettiness, because all these gaming chairs really are the same. let's be honest everyone, the reason we all want a gaming chair is because of its trends and looks. and after purchasing, many fell into the placebo thinking they offer comfort when they do not cuz they spent way too much money on a not-so-good product.

any "gaming-shaped chair" with flaps on both side that constricts your thighs and shoulders, i recommend to not buy. same goes to secretlab's latest 2022 evo. it will be nothing better. this is regardless of its branding/size, titan or not, XL size or not.

i don't plan to use my omega 2020 soft weave any longer as i learned the lesson...i'm planning to, again, fork out an addditional 1k - 2k for an actual ergonomic chair with good quality. no money for herman miller though.

I think the statement of do not get ANY gaming chair statement is a bit too overexaggerating. I have both ergochair 2.0 and secretlab titan 2020 and I do prefer the titan over the ergochair 2.0.
Omega indeed is a typical gaming chair with wings and the suckish lumbar pillow. But the Titan 2020 and the evo 2022 have adjustable lumbar supports and broad wings and base so you wont feel confined and it is very very comfortable.

Regarding the cushion, it has to be firm to provide support, if its soft like a sofa or like you say your dining chair, it will not provide enough muscle support for proper ergonomics, but yeah this is very subjective whether you can accept the firm cushion or not.

everyone is subjective on what kind of chair is most comfortable for them, just want to point out that you saying all gaming chairs are the same is just not fair as omega is not a good chair to begin with.
