Whatever the situation, MSI has your back

RithsomIs there any particular reason why all gaming chairs have to be in the shape of a racecar seat? Why can't we have an actually comfortable and ergonomic chair that's branded as a gaming chair, with stripes and RGB and all?

neatfeatguyYou get more FPS with the fancy racing type looking chairs. Much like when you stick manufacturer stickers on your car, they add extra horsepower!

OperandiNot nearly as ugly as the typical "gaming" chair but the ergonomics are still dubious AF.

yotano211So if I put 5 stickers on my car, Prius, I can add more PAWar!!!
I dont know if I can go higher than the top speed, 108mph.

MentalAcetylideNot too long ago I was shopping around for desk/office chairs and I was seriously considering getting a chair like this.
Some of the things I frequently read about on these and similar "gaming chairs" is they tend to be expensive and/or use cheap material on some or all of the critical parts. They also often require you to pay for the assembly upon delivery or you have to assemble it yourself.

I want mine to last so I gave up on the reclining gaming chairs and just decided to get the Steelcase Think 3D Knit Back Chair where I can customize the colors & also the material for the seat cushion. Plus I can select wheels for either hard or carpeted surfaces. I'm not sure what the price tag is for MSI's game chair, but the one I'm getting is about $1400 USD with the configurations I selected. Very expensive, but they're comfortable/durable and have one of the best warranties. We have similar chairs at work except they have both a mesh back & mesh seat. Not a big fan of mesh seats since they tend to not last as long and are more prone to tears/damage.


Yes, you either end up loving it or hating it. The one thing I can see being a problem for some is how the seat flares up on the sides, which can end up putting too much pressure on the legs. Its really a dumbass design to use for a chair one uses to sit in front of a computer and would be better for seating inside a vehicle where the individual is going to be jostled around(i.e. in an off-road sports/utility vehicle).


Have you tried NVlinking the stickers? That should get you to at least wun-fiddy!

yotano211Or I can press the button that says "kmph", it will tell me that I am going higher than 103.

OperandiYou don't need to spend nearly that much to get a decent chair, I have a Herman Miller Setu that was around $600. Its a pretty simple design with just height adjustment, the base and supports are forged AL, and a plastic frame that flexes, the seat and back are one piece mesh. Its the first real chair I purchased and has held up well for the 8 or so years I've had it. Comes 100% assembled and made in the US which is a nice bonus.

As to the gaming chairs ergonomics they make no sense at all and they aren't really meant to, they just look aggressive so pretty much 100% form over function like all the "gamer" marketing shit. I'm sure if you are relatively fit and in shape and/or just young enough you can probably sit one for hours at time and not have problems but they are still garbage products.

neatfeatguyWater (aka pee) resistant and easy to clean.

Folks won't even have to get up to run to the bathroom if they're having in a gaming session and can't spare 60 seconds....just pee, wipe and keep playing! Nice!


@btarunr
Add a "T" to start of your paragraph, otherwise it looks silly "hese two chairs are the latest..."

MentalAcetylide$600 is near the same I would've paid. However, I opted for some of the extra features, particularly for the adjustable armrests(x,y,z), and more functionality for the seat, rollers, and material used for the seat cushion. I like the ability to lean back in it and have more control over the tension. When it comes to plastic frames, especially flex ones, no thanks. :fear:
