As well as offering standard seat adjustments like 4D armrests and adjustable seat height, the GX1 offers the ability to adjust the seat depth by up to 65mm and independently adjust the backrest height with a simple lift. The 55 percent density may feel initially hard, but this also means it retains its shape and doesn’t sag after months (or years) of use. Its focus on supporting the curves of the spine provides a superbly comfortable experience, further enhanced by the dynamic lumbar support that moves with your body.

Customisability is another strength, offering a wide 85-175 degree tilt, adjustable height, and 4D armrests that are smooth, subtly contoured, and wide enough to comfortably rest on. The Secretlab Titan Evo (2022) is the combination of Secretlab’s previous Titan and Omega lines, bringing the best design elements from the two together in one neat package, sprinkled with new design elements not seen on any other gaming chair. Our resident Apple expert, Lewis covers everything from iPhone to AirPods, plus a range of smartphones, tablets, laptops and gaming hardware.Since gaming chairs have a gas strut for height adjustment, plus other moving parts, it’s feasible that something might fail. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. While more expensive chairs might provide a slightly more luxurious experience, we had no problem using the ADX Race19 for extended periods of time. The S300 offers 130mm of height adjustment along with 14 degrees of rocking, allowing you to rock gently in the chair using your body weight.

Small issues aside, it’s a phenomenal breathable mesh gaming chair that’ll keep you cool in the summer months – it’s just very expensive compared to most options in our chart. Although the plastic fittings do let the overall build down, there’s a reassuring steel framework and a five-legged aluminium base to keep you sturdy during your gaming sessions. We’ve tested the chairs here with tall and short people, and both large and slim builds, but we can’t guarantee that you will find it comfy. The chair is also equipped with armrests, providing support for the arms and reducing strain on the shoulders and neck.It’s supportive without being too firm, slowly moulding to the shape of your body as you sit, with no noticeably thin areas anywhere on the chair. At the entry level, the cheap foam may feel ok to start with (some manufacturers use recycled foam scraps), but it might lose its structure and therefore its support before long, while high-quality foam will retain its shape and also support heavier users. When it comes to PC gaming, people usually prioritise components like the graphics card or peripherals like keyboards and mice that give you an edge in competitive gameplay. To this end, the colour option (for the synthetic leather models) applies only to the stitching, and you can opt for black stitching if you prefer. Yes, it still sports the typical bucket chair seat design, but the minimalist blue accents aren’t too in-your-face compared to bright chairs like the Nitro Concepts S300.
