MSI Announces MAG CH130 Series Gaming Chairs

[btarunr]

MSI announced the launch of its latest gaming chairs - MAG CH130 I REPELTEK FABRIC and MAG CH130 I FABRIC. The MAG CH130 I REPELTEK FABRIC is MSI's first gaming chair to feature the patent-pending gaming chair with functional surface layer and manufacturing method of functional surface layer, which is water-resistant and scratch-resistant.

The MAG CH130 I REPELTEK FABRIC is water-resistant. If you ever accidentally spill liquid onto it, the liquid will be condensed on the surface of the fabric, making it easy to clean. The REPELTEK fabric is also much more scratch-resistant than other general fabrics, allowing you to enjoy quality time with your kids and pets. Simultaneously, it gets a longer life expectancy thanks to its abrasion-resistant surface.



MAG CH130 I FABRIC
The MAG CH130 I FABRIC features a soft light gray breathable fabric that is comfortable, ergonomic, and fashionable. Whether you're in-game or work, they are both some of the best available options out there.

hese two chairs are the latest addition to the MSI MAG CH130 Series gaming chairs. The MAG CH130 series took inspiration from race car seats, with emphasis on support and comfortability. The 52 cm widened and 57 cm deepened seat and ergonomic outline can help you loosen up your body. The high-density foam (45~48 kg/m³) not only feels great to the touch but also won't deform easily. The robust steel frame with a five-star steel base (with a weight capacity of 150 kg) provides highly durable support for hours of use without deforming. Of course, the MAG CH130 Series is reclinable and allows users to relax and recline the backrest for up to 150 degrees with an additional maximum of 15 degrees tilt. It is your best buddy whether you are in-game or at rest.

When gamers set up a video game room, the gaming chair can be the last piece to complete your game kingdom. When picking a chair, gamers consider color, seat fabric, height, ergonomic design, comfortable reclining, and so many other things. It just can't decide. Whatever the situation, MSI has your back
Chairman Purr's top choice - MAG CH130 series gaming chair.

Water (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..."

 

[Operandi]

Not nearly as ugly as the typical "gaming" chair but the ergonomics are still dubious AF.

 

[TheDeeGee]

Water resistant!

That means you can use it for your Hottub Stream on Twitch!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Gaming chairs are a scam. Put that money into a proper office chair

Followed shortly thereafter by your chiropractor ..... But yeah, get a real office chair.

Is 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?

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

 

[Dux]

More copy/paste chair designs.

So 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.

Not 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!

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

Or you can just use attometers and never have to worry about stickers and such again. Scientific Notation will be needed to fit the speed limit on the signs. Hope they know negative exponents doesn't mean you drive in reverse.

You 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.

$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.

Like I said, some people will love those "Jerry was a racecar driver" chairs while others will hate them. What boggles my mind is how some of these gamer chairs can cost just as much or even more than Steelcase chairs and don't even come close to them in regards to comfort, durability, and warranty. Fit or not, if you're too heavy, those gamer chairs will definitely not last, particularly the adjustment mechanisms and the stitching for the material.

Lets not forget about the "Sir Farts-a-lot" & "Cheeks with Many Reeks" of the world, who destroy chairs through ever increasing amounts of "fart matter" buildup within the seat cushion material. If its not fart-proof, they should consider replaceable seats.

 

[Sempron Guy]

Water resistant? At least MSI is looking after the twitch th*ts.

Yeah, its something most people use nearly daily so its worth it to get the chair that has what you want, when I got mine at the time $600 was about the top of my budget so I didn't have that many options.

The Setu is a super simple, only height adjust and very few individual parts so all the budget goes to material quality (and whatever added expense of having it made in NA). The base is all forged AL so everything that supports your weight is metal. The plastic that "flexes" is sort of a lattice spine of the back that acts like a spring that flexes along with the mesh so its always adjusting to how you sit in it. Its not perfect since its effectively one spring weight for everyone from 100-300Lbs which obviously can't be ideal and if you are looking for adjustments its not going to be what you want but for a no frills, high quality, modern looking place to put your normal sized ass I can endorse it.

Et tu brute,....
