The prices of gaming chairs range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.
Why is there such a huge difference in price when they are both gaming chairs?
Functionality:
In terms of functionality, low-priced gaming chairs only have the most common lifting armrests, head and waist pillows, and tilt functions.
As for the more advanced ergonomic gaming chairs , take the latest model of DXRacer , Maserati x DXRacer Mad-X, as an example. This gaming chair mainly focuses on ergonomic design. In addition to the most basic functions, this gaming chair uses 4D armrests, built-in adjustable lumbar pads, and comes with a newly developed cooling gel memory headrest. There is a Maserati LOGO embroidered on the front and back.
Comparing the two, it sounds like a high-end gaming chair has many functions, but do users need to use them? Or is it a forced enchantment that makes the price even higher?
DXRacer developed a new gaming chair based on the comfort level of users who spend a long time sitting on it. Whether you are a video gamer who enjoys playing computer games for a long time, or a wage earner who works from 9 to 6, the gaming chair is equipped with ergonomic elements to help users maintain a correct sitting posture. Users can make simple adjustments (adjustable lumbar pad, headrest, etc.) to accurately fit their body shape, so that no matter how long they sit, they will not easily suffer from back pain.
Finally, we have to mention that DXRacer has recently developed a cooling gel memory headrest. I believe that this gaming chair-specific headrest will only be found in DXRacer products for the time being. The contact between the user's neck and the headrest will generate heat energy, which will make the body sweat over a long period of time, and there is a chance that the life of the headrest leather will be reduced. The new headrest material uses cooling gel, which can not only help users dissipate heat, but also can be shaped according to the user's cervical spine curve to provide accurate support for the neck.
Gaming Chair Materials :
From a cost perspective, the materials used in a gaming chair that costs a few hundred dollars will definitely be very different from those of a high-end gaming chair. I believe everyone has heard of a story about a user who bought a gaming chair and found it was a scam. The filling material seems to be recycled. In severe cases, it may cause skin sensitivity. Secondly, insufficient support may cause problems such as lumbar spine. The Maserati Mad-X gaming chair uses PU leather with suede, and the inside is made of high-density original shaped sponge. Although the cost is relatively high and mold customization is required, the sponge density and resilience are higher than those of ordinary recycled sponges. When playing games or working for a long time, the gaming chair can provide support for the user's body and avoid back pain caused by sitting for a long time.
Gaming chairs on the market mainly use aluminum alloy or nylon feet. The difference between the two lies in the load-bearing capacity. The Maserati Mad-X gaming chair uses aluminum alloy star-shaped feet, which can bear up to 115kg. It is equipped with DXRacer's special grade 4 gas pressure rod (the gas pressure rod has passed the strength and durability certification of the American Office Furniture Manufacturers Association ( BIFMA )) to ensure the safety of users when adjusting the backrest of the chair.
If the user is heavier and chooses ordinary nylon feet, there is a chance that the feet may break.
Durable goods are different from general consumables. Users should choose an ergonomic chair that suits their body shape instead of just considering the price. Each chair has its own functions and characteristics, and you can choose according to your daily needs.
