Genesis Announces Nitro 890 Gaming Chair
The Genesis Nitro 890 is an armchair designed for demanding gamers. They will surely appreciate a wide array of settings, for example for the lumbar area, a configurable deflection angle of the back, as well as a durable fabric resistant to abrasion, which provides optimal ventilation.
The Genesis Nitro 890 gaming armchair is a metal design filled with cold foam. The backrest and the seat are covered with an abrasion-resistant material, which translates into proper ventilation in all conditions. Its profiled backrest with a regulated support of the lumbar area and an ergonomic head cushion provides all sensitive body parts with optimal conditions.
The Genesis Nitro 890 gaming armchair is equipped with a mechanism with a rocking function and a position lock for any angle, as well as the option to change the angle of the backrest. Users can configure the height of the seat to their height. The armrests are comfortable and can be set to three different directions. A wide seat with red trimming and eco-leather elements is supported by a riser that can withstand up to 150 kg.
The designers made sure that the metal structure is durable, and its cold foam filling translates into prolonged duration of use. The armchair can be moved on large wheels. It is covered with plastic that will not scratch surfaces. The whole set weighs 22.5 kg. Potential buyers will not have to wait long. The Genesis Nitro 890 gaming armchair will be available at the stores in the coming days. Its price is set at 359€ / 389$.

They will never understand.
Ah yes, the much vaunted "fabric" setting. wtf? lol. How would one go about adjusting this setting?
Your backside (lower back, shoulders and so on) will thank you,....
I mean, I wouldn't buy this crap, but most people don't have the money to buy a Herman Miller.
Pricey sure, but i never have back pains.
I can walk into a local Office Max/Office Depot and try the chairs they have on the floor to see how they feel, work and look in person. Some of the nicer chairs they carry tend to run upwards of $500+.....that's horribly expensive for my taste and the less expensive ones are around the $250-300 range and they're just awful for extended periods of use; uncomfortable, bad back support and so on. I do need a new chair, but I need that in person experience to decide if it's a good fit for me or not.
I couldn't drop any kind of money on a desk/computer chair online. I'd hate for it to show up, then I'd have to assemble it and then only to find out it's a POS. Now how do I go about returning in it because I hate it? Take it apart, put it back in the box and pay shipping to send it back?
If you want to throw away $389 on some uncomfortable plastic landfill then that's your choice but don't pretend you're doing it because it's a good chair.Now is the best time to buy a Herman Miller Aeron.
Normally, full refurbs with warranties start at about $500, but so many large offices are being permanently closed and their contents sold off so you can find used Aerons in decent condition for $200 or less.
I don't advocate an Aeron as the best ergo chair; I'll accept it's very good if you ignore the price but there are hundreds of big and small brands making decent-quality, ergonomic, 24-hour chairs (that's a class of work chair that gaming chairs don't even encroach upon)
A aggressively bolstered racing seat makes absolutely no fucking sense for sitting at a desk for reasons that should be completely obvious. I bought one of Hermin Miller's cheaper chairs like 5-6 years ago, maybe a bit more. I can't remember its name but its an all mesh design and when I vacuum it out it looks and functions like the day I got it. It was the first chair I ever bought with my own money and the only one I've used at home that wasn't a POS Office Max. Also check out Steelcase and Eurotech, both make good chairs for ~$400 by people who have a clue about ergonomics.
I have two which were purchased used some time ago. You can get one for a couple hundred if you look. My Wife bought them from someone she knew. Might buy a couple more yet still.
Edit:
If you want to buy one of those generic gamer "add branded name here" quasi racing chairs go ahead but its a waste of money and almost a guaranteed disappointment.
Do they harvest that from Eco Cows?Reading not your strong point?
@evernessince thanks for that video. GN content never disappoints.
In fact it doesn't resemble a typical racing seat at all.
Perhaps your bias towards square slabs is influencing your perception.
It might just be me but I like to think there's straight up "gaming chairs" and then there's "Gaming/Office" chairs. I'd consider mine of the latter category.
Quick search on Ebay for Aerons in Europe and I have ~200 auctions currently live and more buy-it-now for several hundred more.
Ebay's not even the best place to buy a used aeron. Google "Aeron refurb" and switch to the shopping results and you have plenty of ads and listings for refurbs for less than this stupid Genesis Nitro (or any other pointless gamer chair)
Like you, I have a nicer chair (IMO) than an Aeron and I paid only €290 for it brand new. Aeron is just the benchmark that other things are measured against, it in no way represents the best anything and is usually as an example because it's popular and most people have sat in one before. I've seen them in Universities, labs, offices, homes, conference venues....
I guess I could jump on Yahoo auctions, but I don't really know how to use that...
The Aeron is in many ways much better, if you start looking at the details. Herman-Miller has really spent some time working out a lot of little things you wouldn't even think about, until you sit in one of their chairs. They use much better mesh material for one and it's fitted to the seat in a different way that will most likely make it last much longer.
I used to have one in the office at a previous job and I know exactly how good they are, but they're simply too expensive for most people.
Herman Miller is often brought up in these arguments against gaming chairs the way an Apple is brought up in comparisons to windows PCs. Apple may not have the best product or be the best value but they are recognisable "high quality" solutions. When cheap competitiors start to charge this premium pricing, it's only natural to make the comparison with those premium brands.
If you can smack down these gaming chair pretenders like the Genesis Nitro even using the overpriced Herman Millers, then you know instantly that it's a bum deal. No, you don't have to buy a premium-brand 24h office chair like the Aeron, but it's an option for most people instead of a $390 gaming chair. If your region doesn't have easy access to Aerons at $390 then fine, just buy a different 24h task chair that is available in your region for less than the $390 Genesis are charging for 'yet-another-relabeled-$60-gaming-chair-from-that-one-shitty-factory-in-Guangdong-China'. These premium "gaming chairs" are the very definition of "lipstick on a pig". :)
The one I got now has a taller back than the Aeron, which I like and it has an automagic lower back support that is spring loaded, so no need to mess around with that part, as it sort of adapts to how you're sitting. It also goes higher up from the floor than any other office chair I've ever sat in, which I like, since I'm fairly tall. It was a bit under $500 on sale.
An Aeron on the other hand starts at US$1,565 here for the base model and goes up $1,890 for the fully kitted out model, neither with a head-rest though, that's an extra $115.
They do have them on "sale" from time to time, right now the top of the range model is going for a mere $1,430...
Keep in mind that most people here earn around the same per month as what one of the Aeron chairs cost...
Want an Embody? That'll be $2,230...
Most office chairs here are horrible and cost in the range of $25-50...
