Looking for a good gaming chair

Hi,

a friend of mine spilled some stuff (don't wanna bother you with the details - disgusting stuff) over my needforseat chair... bad news: It's impossible to get the smell out of it, so it's basically useless. Good news: He's gonna buy me a new one :D

My question is: Is there a chair you guys can recommend? I mean the needforseat was ok, but I've sat on better chairs on several LAN events so I'm gonna go for a new brand. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Ive enjoyed this chair for the last year

Torrent Chair

Comfy, movable for arm rests and spill resistant

Honestly I use to have a typical office chair.. But then I went with a wobble chair.. http://www.amazon.com/Kore-Everyday-Office-Wobble-Chair/dp/B007UV7XMA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1430185322&sr=8-3&keywords=Wobble+chair.. Its a comfy stool that helps promote correct posture, and I honestly find my self being capable of sitting in this for far longer periods than a typical chair.

Unless you're talking about a floor chair, a "gaming" chair is essentially just a good office chair since you'll likely be sitting at a desk. Decent office chairs usually start at about $100 and range up to the $300-$500 range depending on design, adjustable features and material.

Thanks guys! Yeah I know that i could just go for a "normal" office chair, but I also like the flashy looks and color of these so called gaming chairs - can't help it :D

I'm thinking about either dxracer or akracing... does anyone of you have some personal experience with these brands?

@dietmarschaefer:

Get the one everyone on youtube gets, I think they are good.

I say no for "gaming" chairs becuase they're either crap and cost a lot or mediocre in quality and cost even more.

Just get yourself some decent office / manager chair.

I can recommend you getting a good padded arms so your elbows won't hurt after many hours of sitting.

Well if you're deciding between DXRACER and AKRACING... I'd go for DXRACER.

edit: check this one out, dunno if its fancy enough for you but I like the clean looks http://progamingchair.com/best-dxracer-chair-review/

i dont use crappy pc chairs anymore, i've converted into using my sofa recliner, its so soft and i don't get any back or shoulder pains any more. Even the highest end pc gaming chairs don't beat a nice well padded recliner. but you have to be willing to spend a 500+ on it. If your patient you can wait for things like this to go on sale. I got mine in sale 50% off on boxing day.

my back aches just looking at those so called "high end" gaming chairs you have posted here.

Just get a regular chair or inexpensive PC chair.. sit up right better for you, do not lean back that's not good for you.

I recently bought this chair to replace my old one. http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/494218/Realspace-MBMC400-Microfiber-Managerial-Chair-Gray/

The sale ends tomorrow. I opted for fabric/microfiber because that cheapo-leather, pleather or whatever they call it nowadays started flaking off and getting everywhere. So far I find it really comfortable, only negative is that I feel like it is uneven, like I am sitting at a slight angle. That is probably just mine or maybe just because I am still used to my old craptastic chair. I see no real reason to get a "gaming" chair, just a marketing ploy to get you to shell out more money imho.

I would suggest going to a local office store or furniture shop and trying out numerous chairs. Just because you see one you like doesn't mean that it will fit you best.

The Ikea Markus is pretty good if you're tall.

Get a lazy boy-style recliner and put some heavy duty casters on it.

Something with proper lumbar support.

I have been wanting to do this for awhile. Too bad I just bought this chair... :(

If you're actually interested in buying a chair, there are a ton of options in varying styles, colors, and price points. Just depends on what you want. Yes, a "gaming chair" is technically just a stylish office chair, but some people like getting them just to complete a nice gaming setup. Both PC and console gamers use them all the time.

There's a pretty good list of budget gaming chairs here - http://www.gamerwares.com/budget-gaming-chair/
