Gamer Professionals Executive Editor Brandon Bui takes a look at the ergonomic gaming seats designed by premium manufacturer DXRacer. Is the chair worth its premium price tag?
Looks like a nice upgrade to the line. DXRacer, the original high-quality gaming chair manufacturer, breezes past the competition today, unveiling two new editions of the popular Air Series and Master Series. Created with recycled, eco-friendly materials, the updated Air Pro model revamps its lumbar and headrest support, retailing at $499 USD.
This looks like a great chair fans and collectors would like. DXRacer, the original high-quality gaming chair manufacturer, begins shipments of the personalizable DXRacer Craft Series gaming chair today. Pre-made designs are available to order starting at $469 USD within the United States.

I have a DXRacer chair. Comfort wise it destroys my old chairs, best of the old being a 200 dollar chair from Staples. This version of the chair that's reviewed is the kind with wings though. I personally think the wings don't make any sense for a gaming chair. I had a Racing Series at first, which is very similar to the Formula. Even though I could sit on it for years at a time butt wise, those wings were stabbing my thighs if I didn't sit perfectly in the middle. The wings on the back prevented me from reaching to the sides comfortably as well. Also their lumbar pillow needs some modification, to actually be a lumbar pillow instead of just a pillow.
They should also update their site with pictures of people standing next to and sitting on the chair so that you see what size person belongs to which of their different chair sizes. They want a lot of money to send it back on returns if you pick a chair that's too small.
As long as you pick the right chair though, it's very good for long gaming sessions. My older chairs would have my butt on fire if I sat longer than a hour. Though you could probably just buy a memory foam pillow if you don't want to spend that kind of money.
I bought the DXRacer zero king and i love it.. Expensive? YES! However i really enjoy it and its very comfortable..
A chair for idiots.
