We would like to thank AQIRYS for supplying the review sample.
I reviewed an AQIRYS Calypso some time ago, and it left a favorable impression. AQIRYS is a Romanian company with more than 15 years of experience in the IT market. Its logo resembles a galaxy, and most of its products are named after one. AQIRYS provides a fun fact on each product page, which is a great way to learn about the respective galaxy!
The Ymir—today's review subject—is a gaming chair covered with a to the touch soft fabric upholstery; it uses a refreshing combination of light gray and light blue colors. Its maximum weight-limit is 160 kg (352.74 lb.). With an approximate price tag of €364/US$364, is it worth getting the Ymir, though?
