Hey there,
I returned to playing computer after years of playstation. When I stopped playing, I was much younger than I am now.
Age: 33
Weight: 124kg
Height: 176cm
So I have that cheap office chair but on long sessions I can feel some stress in my back. Don’t have that in the office at work - but those chairs are probably much better.
So right now I’m struggling to find a decent chair that actually is good for my back and not just a chair that can bend back if you know what I mean.
So as I already struggled finding the right keyboard and mouse, I am struggling with finding the right chair. I don’t want to pay a fortune but also know that a good chair will not come off cheap.
A friend suggested Secretlab and also spoke about Back force one or something like that.
What should I pay attention to, next to weight and stuff, and what can you actually recommend?
Lots of thanks in advance!
Honestly you don’t want a Secret Lab chair. Yes, they can be nice but overly expensive. I’ve tried a couple of them and they just didn’t feel all that good. I suggest going and finding like a Staples or Office Max if you have any in your area. They have a ton of different styles of chairs to try out including gaming chairs and office chairs. Get a feel of what you think would work then shop around that style of chair to come up with the best price
Hah. I was debating a Secret Lab chair. I wound up spending 3x as much and getting a Steelcase Gesture and it has changed me forever.
I’ll never pass up an opportunity to shit on Secretlab: If a gaming chair company can make one of its co-founders so much money that in 7 years after founding he can buy not one, but two prime pieces of property for a combined US$30 million, think about the margins on those chairs.
