Introduction

We would like to thank DXRacer for supplying the review sample.



Gaming chairs have lately become a part of my life. Having tested quite a few already, I am always thrilled when a new chair arrives at my doorstep! This time, I have the opportunity to review a gaming chair from DXRacer, a very well-known company. This brand has a history that goes back to 2001. The company started with the manufacture of car seats for extravagant sports cars, which is a very demanding and really competitive field to begin with. After five years of doing so, DXRacer proceeded by also moving into the market of gaming chairs.

Aesthetics and ergonomics are what matter the most, along with an affordable price tag, of course, which is almost always an issue when it comes to gaming chairs. As such, DXRacer offers a wide range of chair models over its website, including some dedicated gaming chairs. There are chair models that appear to address mainstream users and others which address those willing to invest more money for higher material quality, comfort, and accessories. In this review, I am going to evaluate the DXRacer Racing Pro R131-NR with my colleagues. This chair uses a simple variant of the well-known bucket-seat design with a high backrest and the typical ergonomics most chairs feature, but it can hold someone with a weight of up to 115 kg (254 lb), which is more than most.
