Maybe use ur current chair for desk task work, and maybe get something like Ikea Poang for leisure?
The Titan Evo 2022 good as a task chair? As good as a Herman Miller Aeron/Steelcase Leap v2 or not? Only reason why I'm looking at SecretLab is because it can recline, so can use as both a task chair during the day and for leisure at night while relaxing playing game/watch movie?
But I heard the Titan Evo 22 is stiff, hard etc...and also, the quality control not so good, the leather can flake etc. Is that so?
Hey bro!
It's a good task chair, I'd say - but it's a better relaxing chair. Frankly, the boundaries between what's a task chair and what's not aren't so clear - for example, I was having a chat with a famous spine professor recently, and I asked him this very same question.
His response was interesting - he looked at me quizzically, then asked me...
"Is this not work?"
I was like... What?
It took me a while, but I got his point. If you can use it to game, you can use it to work - the boundaries between both activities, if we think about it, are mostly conceptually defined, because they both involve sitting for long periods of time.
At the end of the day, you're looking for a chair that can migrate stress from your weight and that your back would otherwise feel into the chair; SL is good ergonomics and cured my back pain in March, hence why I went out to get three more - that was what I genuinely felt and experienced, long before hearing this discussion about gaming chairs, ergonomic chairs, etcetera.
Perfect for work - no problems with tasking etc.
Having experienced HM, I feel it's better in some ways such as when you sit straight and if you're paying attention, but I don't think it's worth 3x the price and feel that the majority of people who rabidly rage about gaming chairs sucking more than ergonomic chairs can only afford one of them and spend time raging from the other side. It's not that it's morally bad or anything that you can't buy something like that because guess what we've all been there (unless you inherited dynastic wealth or something), but I think human psychology just kinda suggests to people that if something's more expensive it's better, and they generalize from limited experiences into every single product like they're gods of human understanding bc they wanna seem smart
Anyway it's an understandable feeling and I don't begrudge people that.
I often get the feeling that if I had never discovered HM or Steelcase and just discovered SL, I wouldn't be making all these judgments about what's better, though on some level, maybe that's just a cop-out because I don't know can't know what it's like to sit in SL over 30-40 years versus sitting in what people call fantastic ergonomic chairs for the same duration of time because frankly, I'm not old enough to know people who've been doing something like that and SL's basically only seven years old.
