Guys, I need opinion between this 2 chairs. I have 2 dxracer in the past mainly Racing & drifting series. The built actually solid but drifting series the PU cracked. So PU is big no.

1. Secretlab titan softweave - I think this one no need introduction because it has been in market for awhile? The lumbar support seem like built in and need to control it manually. Say push for max support, does it really support? Softweave wont crack lol.

2. DXracer master series - Ok this is new to the market. It has better tech like swappable cushion mesh (buy need buy separately) and also footrest (also buy separately). The thing is, it use microfiber nappa leather. I mean wth is microfiber nappa? The price currently on preorder is RM1899. The lumbar support look fine. But if this has risk getting cracked like PU leather, I would just get titan weave.

PU big no no. Softweave i cant comment

However, even the frame of the chair is not the best. Use for like a year plus, start making squeaking noise. And i can see the oiling coming out, not dripping but on the surface

My Secretlab Titan Softweave is almost a year old, barely any squeaks or oil residue appearing as mentioned above.

Only qualms I have is the armrest, it does wobble but not too 'wobbly'.

I decided to proceed with titan softweave. No confidence with whatever microfiber nappa. Feel like just another PU.

I'm using something similar to the DXracer Master and yeah leather in msia weather is hot. The back rest is VERY flat, absolutely no lumbar support.

Otherwise, got to say the tilt or I don't know what is it called, suspension? is steady, used for half a year dy, barely (VERY minimal) creaks when I lean back.

I guess your sweat may be causing the leather peels.

But after looking at your photo its not wise to spend rm2k on a gaming chair
