ThunderX3 and the TechPowerUp team were reacquainted with each other at this week's trade event in Las Vegas—the previous hands-on session occurred back in 2023! A new gaming chair and desk were up for analysis this time—a brand rep proceeded to show off their black mesh throne: dubbed "FLEX Pro." It is encouraging to see a design that takes more inspiration from premium ergonomic office chairs, rather than doubling down on the usual gamer-oriented features. An aluminium base is always nice to have—within this market segment.
A specification placard mentions a SYNC6 mechanism, this is ThunderX3's new six-way adjustability system—the already released XTC Mesh model makes do with SYNC5 (five-way). The rep demoed FLEX Pro's various adjustable parts—4D headrest, backrest, 3D lumbar support and 5D x 360° armrests. The latter can be seen at all sorts of angles in our second row of photos (see below).
The armrests were adjusted for different situations in front of a computer—be it gaming, typing or relaxed/casual usage—without compromising comfort.
ThunderX3 exhibited an intriguing height-adjustable gaming desk featuring a modular attachment system. Dubbed "LAB-X Standing Desk"—it is advertised as a motor ergonomic product. Part of the table's top is perforated for air flow purposes—cooling fans can be attached beneath this section. A desktop PC can be placed over this area. The middle plane features an integrated tempered glass mousepad.
Attachments can be swapped out easily and quickly, courtesy of a quick release system. TechPowerUp watched as ThunderX3's rep detached RGB cooling fans from the desk's underside. A drinks holder and headphone hook were the other modular pieces attached to the desk's aluminium frame via specialized track system.
