Chair Adjustments

Users can slide back and forth easily by holding the button down. All chairs we have had so far have had a sitting area you can't move around. After having discovered the benefits of being able to do so, though, it has really become a necessity in our books. We also found the sitting area to be wider than on some other chairs we messed with before, something many users will appreciate. Folding your feet up on the chair in order to play or write can be a little bit of a problem, though, since they will likely touch the paddles under both armrests.


There are several interesting ergonomic features. The two most frequently adjusted variables on our Vertagear chair were the height of the chair and the tilt of the backrest, which you can do by using the paddles under the armrests.

The idea of using paddle shifters obviously comes from cars equipped with special gearboxes, and to be more specific, this whole concept was first implemented in racing cars. Racing is a competitive sport and so is gaming. However, in gaming, comfort is also a priority.


The paddle under the right armrest adjusts the chair's height. By pressing it, you can choose a point between 988 mm and 1200 mm. The Trigger's adjustability features will also produce clicking sounds. Whenever you hear a click, an adjustment has been locked into place.


Under the left armrest is the paddle that regulates the backrest's frame, in twenty-two different positions and at up to a 33° angle. Toggle the paddle and the back frame can be moved back and forth. In order to lock its position in, toggle the paddle once more. If you don't lock it in place, the backrest will move back and forth freely as soon as you apply some pressure to it with your back. To unlock the back frame's position and move it, you have to apply some pressure against the back frame until you hear the click. Positions 16 and up need a bit more pressure in order for the back frame to move backward. It doesn't fall back completely and doesn't incline forward at all.


As pictured above, the armrests are also adjustable in two different dimensions. They are made out of mat PU and have a cushion inside, for a softer touch. They seem to be of good quality and their looks match this chair's whole designing aspiration. In order to turn toward a position, one has to push the upper armrest into that direction. Both armrests have seven different height positions they can be locked into by pulling them up. Wait for the click to tell you that an armrest has locked into position. Pull the armrests all the way up and they will fall back into their original position.


The backrest's height can also be adjusted by just lifting it up. Since the backrest is light enough due to the aluminum alloy beam, lifting it up is pretty easy. The usual click means it is locked in place. To set it to its original position, pull it all the way up and let it fall down again.

Other than the back frame, which seems to be ergonomic, there is one more possible adjustment. The Triigger 275 has an entire back-support system made out of four crossbars, right at the rear of the back frame. It can be adjusted into four different positions by pulling up and pushing down.


A turning dial is under the sitting area, there to adjust the tilt with. The dial can be pulled out a bit to then be put back into its original position, which makes it easier to use. When dialed forward, the tilt's tension increases, and when dialed backwards, the tilt's tension decreases.


Another interesting feature of this chair is the use of cables under the sitting area. As many of you probably know, some bridges use cables. Cables generally consist of steel wire strands that have been grouped together into a larger strand, or a wire rope, and they work with nothing but tension and are, as such, considered to be very "efficient" structures, making them useful for long spans, such as suspension bridges. Vertagear uses an industrial-grade steel standards cable that runs under the sitting area in order to conduct the chairs' adjusting orders. Regarding aesthetics, as long as it is out of sight and operates as it should, we are totally fine with it.


Under the sitting area rests a gas lift class 4 pneumatic gas cylinder responsible for all height adjustments.

Even though adjusting your chair's dimensions sounds easy, you do need to spend time familiarizing yourself with what is possible and how it is done. The user's manual mostly uses pictures to point all the possible adjustments and how to use them out. Once someone has mastered the paddles' functions, though, adjusting the Triigger 275 should be a lot faster and easier than with other chairs that have their levers under the seat.

The chair comes with a steel alloy five-star base with a matte powder coated finish and the built-in Silencer Technology. As we already stated, a class 4 gas lift is attached to the base, responsible for any adjustments to the chair's height in relation to the height of a desk, etc. A dual-spring hub out of over eighty components and situated under the seat is responsible for the reclining balance. A formulated mixture of steel, silicon, and manganese is the key with these dual springs.


Five Holtron 65 mm hubless casters (hollow wheels) are attached to the base, which, in comparison to others, do look modern and aren't as noisy.

Usage experience

Once you learn how to use each paddle and button, you can make adjustments to the chair in very short order. The Triigger 275 is pretty smooth and comfortable overall. Both the sitting area and the backrest have the same feel. The combination seems to produce the desired ergonomic result. You may spend hours sitting in this chair without feeling uncomfortable because the mesh is breathable and flexible.

More than four different people tried this chair out for weeks on end, and both the sitting area and the backrest welcomed us all differently. The backrest's adjustable height and the chair's height-adjustable lumbar-support feature formed a comfortable and friendly environment for each of us. What we would have liked even more would be more height to the chair since we would have liked the ability to reach higher grounds, and the inclusion of a headrest would have been nice also.
