    You should be careful buying a gamer chair - they’re often made for aesthetics and not for long-term comfort or back support, and can be kind of bad value for money because of that. Office mesh chairs are designed to be sat in for a long time whereas gamer ones are based on racing car seats which are designed for drivers to be in for an hour. Not to say they’re never worth buying but make sure it’s properly adjustable and the such for your build before buying :)

    All of these racing chairs suck so so so so so so much. I have owned two.

    1. The wings on the chair will probably not match your shoulder width, this will make them uncomfortable you will roll your shoulders forwards in order to sit back fully.

    2. You need a back lumbar cushion for them.

    3. When it’s your skin will stick to it.

    4. You will want to get soft arm attachments because the hard arms suck.

    5. The material will be cheap, the hard part of the arms will break.

    6. Very good chance that the pneumatics start failing within a year and the chair just sinks during use.

    I strongly advise against getting a gaming chair. Get an “executive” chair instead. The bigger the chair the better tbh but they get absurdly expensive, this ridiculous thing costs thousands:

    Don’t buy for aesthetics. You will regret it. Buy for comfort. Comfort comfort comfort. This thing above is ugly as fuck but I can almost guarantee it’s nice to sit in.

    It’s like buying the mouse that looks like a fighter jet, cool aesthetic but it’s gonna be a shit ass mouse. WLmouse is currently my favourite mouse, looks iffy but it’s the best mouse I ever owned. Buy things like this based on function, not appearance.
