I still don't see why anyone would ever think spending money on a gaming chair is a good idea over getting a proper ergonomic chair like a Steelcase or Herman Miller - they may be expensive but they'll likely last as long as you will and won't destroy your back either

Can someone explain me why after a while you can hear a quite loud bang now and then when leaning backwards in your gas-spring chair?

Have the same problem and it's a defect. Contact noblechairs - they should replace the tilting mechanism.

Yeah. At this price a used/refurbished "proper" office chair us probably a better buy. €400 would get you something really nice. That said this honestly doesn't look bad, as a chair.

I've noticed, with the previous chair review too, that the "maximum backrest's recline is only 125° degrees."
Why would you go any flatter? What purpose would that serve to work/play at your computer?

The is still zero evidence that sitting on something that doesn't feel uncomfortable has any effect on your back. You can sit on a chair without any backrest for years. In fact a lot of chairs for work do not have backrests. Now if you can't find a comfortable position and you're sitting in pain then yeah. But who does that?


Oh and another interesting bit of information, chairs that are designed for 24 hour work places look more like gaming chairs than office chairs. https://www.kabseating.com/office/applications/control-rooms

Some users want to relax on their chairs, so they want more recline. The fact is that most good chairs don't have increased recline because of the mechanisms that they use.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not but if you've ever sat in a chair without a back you'd quickly realize that it's not something you can do all day. Your back will get tired and your posture will worsen as the day goes on. This is regardless of whether you have a bad back or even workout your back, shoulder, and core. Keeping any muscle contraction that long is not reasonable. Kneeling chairs are the only acceptable backless chairs for longer periods, although a good number of them do have backs anyways. This is because the spinal alignment with these chairs is different then your regular chairs. Of course these types of chairs are not for everyone either with their own set of pros and cons.

There are dozens of studies showing the benefit of properly designed chairs on the musculoskeletal system as compared to poorly designed chairs.

The level of comfort a chair provides is a completely separate matter from the long term impact a chair will have on your body. A chair can feel comfortable but promote poor posture and provide poor to no support. It is important that the end user finds a chair comfortable but not at the cost of their own health, especially when you can get both in mid-range to high-end office chairs. Consider that Steelcase and Herman miller both design their chairs to be sat in for at least 8 hours every day and conduct dozens of ergonomic studies prior to release. Meanwhile most gaming chairs are designed to look cool first and foremost and are simply reskins of the hundreds of other chairs that are carbon copies.

Looks like an upgrade to the Icon chair, with better lumbar support (one of the only things I miss on that thing). Not bad.

Shame they are still using those awful 4d armrests.
