Secretlab is quite possibly the most famous of the ergonomic/gaming chair brands today, with many a content creator finding themselves sitting on a 2020 Series Omega or Titan. The 2018 series had left us quite impressed, and we were invited to the launch of the then-new 2020 series in New York City a little over two years ago in May 2019. That seems like an eternity has passed since, and such is the nature of the world today that a similar launch event would just not be prudent or practical. As such, Secretlab took to the traditional online route to announce its latest and greatest—the TITAN Evo 2022 series.I have seen first hand how many people bought the Titan to only realize it was too big, just because they saw the Secretlab branding and the T on other chairs without realizing the Secretlab Omega was better suited for them. On the flip side, the Titan XL should have been what taller people would have needed more, but the Titan just became synonymous with the brand to where Secretlab has acknowledged this with the the new TITAN Evo 2022 series that comes in three different sizes (S, R, XL) while keeping the same feature set. The small TITAN Evo is rated best for people with height between 150-169 cm and weighing under 90 Kg, the regular TITAN Evo for heights between 170-189 cm and weight under 100 Kg, and finally the TITAN Evo XL is best for people measuring in at 181-205 cm and 80-180 Kg. The S and R sizes also get shorter hydraulics and an optimized seat base to allow users to comfortably rest feet flat on the ground. Read past the break for more on the updated features with the new Secretlab TITAN Evo chairs!

Tesoro looked to keep things stately at this years Computex, going with more refined designs that feature a cleaner aesthetic for office and business use. The first item to make s splash was the Alphaeon W1 which is a set of glasses that protect one's eyes with blue light reduction lenses which are TÜV Rheinland certified. Made for use both indoor and outdoor with both computers and mobile devices, but if that's all they were capable of they wouldn't be newsworthy.

Add in Bone Conduction technology and users can not only enjoy music or answer phone calls but also hear surrounding sounds.

For those who came in late, Secretlab is a Singapore-based company that specializes in gaming seats and chairs. Founded in 2014, they were among the very first to establish a foothold in the now-burgeoning gaming chair market, and arguably have led the way from day one. Our own Erasmia was left extremely impressed with their 2018-series Titan chair, to where it was selected among the best of 2017 in the product category as well. We were invited to a sneak peak launch event in New York City earlier this month, where Secretlab shed more light on their 2020 series updates to their popular Omega and Titan lineup.

These updates include over three years of rigorous research and testing, both internal at the company and in collaboration with independent research/testing institutes in Singapore. This level of testing has led to product certifications galore, something virtually unheard of in the gaming chair market. An immediate benefit is an increase in product warranty to 5 years, compared to the industry standard 1-2 years, and this is but one of several updates and improvements we will go over in more detail past the break.

Secretlab, makers of racing-seat inspired chairs with a business and comfort orientated design, is pleased to announce their UK launch. Since the company launched in Singapore in 2015, Secretlab has expanded across the globe moving from Asia into Australia and across the pond to the US in 2017. Each expansion has been based on customer demand and with over 80% of sales coming from overseas Secretlab will now cater for UK gamers. Secretlab currently boasts three product lines which have each been met with critical acclaim due to their combination of high quality, affordable cost and customer care.

The average person spends nine hours a day sitting down and the average gamer spending even more time seated. So, the Secretlab founders, both being former Starcraft II pro players were all too familiar with the rigours and demands of spending long hours in front of their computers and were dissatisfied with the offerings of the gaming chair market- finding it impossible to source a chair made from quality materials at an affordable price. Prices are lowered by only dealing direct, reducing the unnecessary markups caused by middleman costs such as retail and distributor margins.
