Which one?

The one that supports my back when I sit in it.

FireFox · Jan 2, 2018

All them

R00kie · Jan 2, 2018

Which one?

The one that your ass feels comfortable in. You won't know unless you try.

Would be nice if you could test them before buying.

They don't sell chairs at a local store?

kurosagi01 · Jan 2, 2018

That is the one problem i have with these "cool" looking racing/bucket gaming chairs. They look great but its near enough impossible to find a store that has one out in floor for you to try.

P4-630 · Jan 2, 2018

I bought mine online as well, it came from Germany, it's not bad but I don't think I'll do it again.
Ok, as kurosagi01 said, they are hard to find at some local store but if you live in or near a large(r) city there must be some showroom for it somewhere, no?

Otherwise i have to drive to a bigger City like Frankfurt and i am too lazy for that even if i work there but for a Chair i wont drive rather Amazon.

Reason?

Kovoet · Jan 2, 2018

Try Overclockers

But I probably won't do that again as I mentioned.

I may travel some KM's for it next time.

3 looks best to me.. Possibly more materials put into it. I don't like the arm rests on 2 and 4.

jboydgolfer · Jan 2, 2018

names and makers helps for me atleast....since i know some are made better, sometimes.

id recommend NOT buying a "gaming" chair, and instead buying a "executive" or "big & tall" type chair. this is something i have a good deal of Exp in, trust me. im pretty sure i recently posted in a thread with the same topic here on TPU, he got the MErax looking red n black one with the pillows, maybe see if he liked it, hes also in the UK iirc

edit
i found it

Those arm rests look more sturdy to me though.

R00kie · Jan 2, 2018

I’ve got this:

Really comfortable.

what was the cost?

jboydgolfer said:

About 190 GBP in UK

i think they use the same OEM as these guys. the "gaming" chairs are often Cookie cutter designs, that are like refernece GPU's, that just get the sellers name printed on.
look at the little racing car wheels :laugh:

yup, here it is with no branding & different accents this one below is $90 usd

lyndonguitar · Jan 2, 2018

i like chair 1 and chair 3 the most. probably because they look similar. but chair 1 is nicer and is more cheaper so i voted for it

Mine is a bit narrower than the one you posted, you still get different sizes with these, to cater to the tall people or the slightly wider ones.

AK Racing does their stuff in house. Similar color/design but most of the parts are different.

Agree with @lyndonguitar about chair 1 and 3 been
very similar in fact the number 1 has been for over 4/5 months in my Amazon's wish list.

That's a good point.

2 is a boss chair, looks more comfortable than the bucket seat style, bucket seats were meant to hold you in place in a car, not for comfort lol
