This design was released in 2021 to celebrate the release of the ESO Console Enhanced mode. It has a dark PU leather base with golden side accents.

Just remember, it's reserved only for those who have proven themselves ‘too tough for hell to contain’. The width of the extra large is for medium to XXXL, so whether you have a gluteus maximus or a gluteus minimus this chair will fit. However, based on our 2022 gaming chair buying guidelines, aesthetics are a temporary pleasure. Even the most vibrant design will start blending in rather than standing out after a few weeks. It also means that we can test the longevity of things like the different levers and controls over time, too. We've had issues where some cheaper brands had plastic levers that just wouldn't last. You read that right, a magnetic head cushion. A simple solution to fiddly straps, the Titan Evo does away with all that with a couple of powerful magnets.

Really it's about finding what's right for you, and a lot of the time that's a gaming chair because, let's be honest, you like the look of it. That's a perfectly good reason to make that decision, just make sure you're not sacrificing comfort and ergonomics for style and flair.

I know it's looking after my body because I can't actually get one leg underneath me to sit in my usually preferred—though posturally abysmal—relaxed working position. I'm forced to sit in the correct manner, and I do actually feel better for it while I'm sat at my desk during the working day. Between recent articles about the effects of sitting down on your body and our experimentation with standing desks, you might think PC Gamer has fallen out of love with the humble chair. As a side note, the one I bought in April 2021 was “upgraded” to have the noble chair leg rest which I found made the chair much more comfortable for relaxing gaming sessions. It also might be of benefit to shorter gamers who wish to keep good circulation. Just in case, standard Hero editions also include a headrest and lumbar pillow. If you don’t like the integrated one, use the external one instead. I fully expect this chair to do me a long time - they seem very hard wearing. I toyed with the idea of buying a different Hero chair, but no matter which I looked at, I still couldn’t get over the style and attention to detail of the Doom variant.While some of the best gaming chairs may come with a higher price tag, remember, like any piece of quality furniture, it's worth the investment. Our bodies require proper care, and the Secretlab Titan Evo stands out as one of the best gaming chairs today, blending the best features from Secretlab's previous models and has a decent warranty should something go wrong.

I left a review of this chair some time ago after buying one in April 2021. That chair still sits at the computer desk (the gaming one) and is as comfortable as ever, maybe more so as it has softened up with use. There’s also forward seat tilt, so you can lean in when you realise your opponent is better than expected. Adjustable seat depth also means you can slide yourself forward to get in closer. The latter might be the least useful of the lot, but it comes in handy if you gotta get cosy with your PC but can’t roll any closer. Coming from the same stable as our favorite gaming chairs—the Secretlab Titan Evo—it's no surprise that the NeueChair is an outstanding seat. But it is very much a task chair, not a gaming chair. Softer padding: The Hero’s 60 kg/m³ padding is squishier than the Titan’s (65 kg/m³). That’s not as good for posture preservation, but a bit more comfortable in the short term. I'm not sure the Logitech collab is bringing a lot to the party, but the branding is notably light touch next to the racing style gaming chairs that we're used to as PC gamers, and it feels classy as a result.

All of these things are cool, right? It’s great that the Kaiser 3 reclines to 165 degrees, it has two levers, one controls the tilt, the other controls the height of the chair raising it about three inches. These things are all great for comfort. Nope! You can find good or bad examples of both, and believe us there are plenty. That said, some office chairs are great for gaming and vice versa, and there are 'office chairs', like the Herman Miller Embody, that blend the line between both. You also don't get that headrest as standard, which adds a not-inconsiderable amount to the cost of the chair if you do want it. Considering I think it's more suited to the active position than reclining, I don't actually think it's a big miss not having the headrest. And value is key to us as well. A chair doesn't have to be cheap, but so long as it feels like it's worth the money you're being expected to pay then it has value. Best gaming chairs FAQ Are gaming chairs actually bad?
