User Experience

A sturdy chair made out of cold cure foam might be a favorite among larger users because of backbone and pelvis area support. However, a chair out of high tensile mesh will adopt to just about any body type much better. Besides, due to the perforated mesh, which covers the aluminium frame, skin can breathe without sweating. More than five different people have tried out this chair for an extended period of time, and they range from 1.63 cm (64.17 in.) and 63 kg (138.89 lb) to 1.84 cm (72.44 in.) and 92 kg (202.82 lb); everyone found it comfortable and enjoyed its sleek design and ergonomics.


The mesh is easily cleaned in various ways. First of all, the entire chair can be vacuumed. A sponge with warm water and mild soap or detergent will wash away a spot, and if that is not enough, a mild spot removing solution or upholstery cleaning foam will do the job.


The Cyberchair E500 can be used in many different spaces because of its official yet futuristic and modern appearance. What is more, its ergonomics make it ideal for people who spend a good deal of time in their chair. The sliding seat and backrest's embedded lumbar-support system can relieve or even prevent back problems. All lever-based adjustments operate smoothly. Moreover, placing the tilt-resistance lever under the seat was a brilliant idea.


The chair's height ranges from 117 to 136 cm (46.06–53.54 in.), which means it support short and tall users equally well. The backrest's tilt angle of 117° is not much, especially compared to a gaming chair. However, it's sufficient for a bit of rest after a long day in the office (or countless hours of gaming). Additionally, the rocking function allows for better blood flow, which supplies joints with more oxygen and can help ease arthritis symptoms. Also, the rocking motion has been proven to release endorphins, which improves one's mood and reduces stress and pain.


All levers are situated optimally, and are easy to use. What is more, putting engraved pictures on the levers so users can easily spot the appropriate lever was thoughtful of Thermaltake.


Everything looks exclusive, but there is unfortunately an exception. The armrests might be 4D, but are plain, especially compared to the rest of the chair. This is a very well-designed chair, and as it is a pricey piece of furniture, it deserves more refined, better-looking armrests. These armrests feel comfortably spongy and elastic, but look cheap compared to the rest of the bundle. With only one button, most adjustments are also done by pushing and pulling. The in/out sliding function also takes slightly more force than other adjustments.


The casters are large, robust, and roll across a flat floor on demand, which makes them ideal for large users. They are very quiet due to their PU covering.


For the time being, this chair is only available in our sample's color. A version with red or blue highlights would be nice. For the build quality and price, the warranty is also too short, although there is no way to tell how long it will last when used by a large user who weighs 150 kg. Any piece of furniture made out of quality materials should, however, easily outlive its warranty period as long as it is treated well by its owner. While expensive, its price is justified by the used materials and the high overall built quality. That having been said, as there are no separately available parts or accessories, should something break, there is no way to replace it. Thermaltake should look into this, the sooner the better.
