How to choose the right gaming chair?

The price of gaming chairs on the market can have big difference. Many brands have launched their own gaming chairs, each of which has some differences in design functions other than appearance. We have sorted out 4 key points. Before buying, you can find out whether they can achieve what you need.

Point 1: Gaming Chair Legs

The legs of gaming chairs are much wider than those of general computer chairs, and the materials are mainly divided into nylon and aluminum alloys. The two materials have their own characteristics. It is not always true that aluminum alloy must be the best, but the bearing capacity of metal materials is definitely higher than that of nylon feet. Most of the inside of the foot seat adopts a staggered structure to increase stability and reliability, and the load-bearing capacity of the two is between 90-135 kg.

When purchasing, pay attention to whether the material of the foot seat will be very thin. If the material of the foot seat is too thin, it may break when the loading is too high.

Point 2: Recycled Sponges vs Native Styling Sponges

Some netizens shared that they tried to buy a gaming chair at a low price, but the sponge collapsed quickly. When dismantling it, it was found that the manufacturer used recycled sponge to replace the original sponge. A recycled and rebuilt sponge is easy to deform and may contain some harmful substances inside. It is recommended that gaming chairs made from original stereotyped sponge. Although the price is higher, the original stereotyped sponge needs to be customized by opening the mold, and the density or resilience of the sponge is higher than that of the recycled sponge.

Point 3: High-back gaming chair frame

Before purchasing a gaming chair, you can check with the salesman about the frame material used in the gaming chair. Gaming chairs are high backs, ergonomically designed, and share the pressure on the spine. The main function of the skeleton is to increase the bearing capacity of the chair and the position of the fixed sponge to support the human body. The main skeleton materials of the gaming chairs on the market are wood and metal frames. Gaming chairs with metal frames are more balanced in force, and the bearing capacity is greatly improved.

Point 4: armrest function

Game requires a long time to use the mouse and keyboard. The armrest that supports the elbow is very important. With the armrest having lifting function, the height of the handle can be adjusted to a suitable height. If the armrest can slide and angle, it will be more adaptable to the player’s needs, protect the player’s elbow to avoid strain.
