your budget too tight, tt racing rm3xx can up a bit, or find in shopee for that price but quality is your own risk

for that budget, better search for 2nd hand proper chairs rather than those hype gaming chairs. worse quality than your ikea chair at that budget

I have secretlab omega the softweave (fabric) version. Chair is solid, as long as aircon on the fabric also very smooth and nice touch. But the seat suffers from not having any lower back support.

1. Your budget is wayyy too low for those brands

2. If you are willing to pay >700 for those chair, u better buy normal office chair from office furniture brand. More comfort, more durable

The only reason anyone should buy gaming chair is if they want to support the brand, and not because they want that chair. Buying a gaming chair is like buying a kitchen utensil made by a freaking Toyota

Ikea markus is lousy. The seat is too small and the backrest is like pushing ur body off the chair. Not comfortable. Dont know why ppl keep recommend ing this piece of crap.

TT racing is so so for their price.

Altseat is so so

Best for me is Tomaz syrix 2. RM599 only. Feels the most premium for the price.

i bought the ttracing swift x, RM599.

Not bad so far..

I sat the ikea markus before, also not bad. Slightly cheaper at RM549...i think...

both choice are gooding.

Ikea Markus has a 10 year warranty, swift x has a 2 year warranty.

my idea, is get the ikea markus, and get separate lumbar support pillow.

I bought my Soft weave type SecretLab chair for RM1700+ (SGD550). Ships from Singapore. Takes 2 weeks time to arrive. Really good chair. Been using it for almost 2 years. Don't get leather, too hot during afternoon and you will sweat.

Ok thanks you for your input, i saw some review, most of the reviews also telling not to get the leather if youre working or playing games naked because it can get very hot and sticky.

Depends on ur body weight. If 80kg and below still ok. Anything above 80kg dont but this. Not solid enough

Definately wont last long time if u always use the leg rest

Depending if you prefer Medium to Firm or Firm to Hard .
Since your budget is not high, i recommend Cooler Master Caliber R2 since it is quite good value for money and it's also Medium to Firm level, if you don't like Hard seats like secretlab.

Also, Cooler Master can recline to 180 degrees. something cooler master cant do.

I'm using a TTracing Swift X 2020 for around 1 year+ to 2 years. That's when the chair starts to fail. The hydraulics will gradually go down by itself when I'm sitting on it. It starts off occasionally, and then almost daily.
I tried contacting their customer service, but they don't even bother to reply. I suspect it's because my warranty is still valid, and they want it to expire. I should've just gotten Secretlab. It was my fault for being a cheapass.
