It’s one step stupider than that. Race seats are not made for helping you focus, they’re made to keep you physically in place during high g-force situations.
it’s like how all shoes had to have huge heels, after stirrups for horses became a thing and thus riders started wearing riding shoes.
The heels aren’t useful for walking, they literally only exist to hook onto stirrups, it’s insane.
Really? I’m not super tall but the headrest on mine is already borderline too low. The optional head pad sits at my neck which isn’t ideal. Also are roller blade wheels seriously a thing? Why would anyone want that, how do you move the chair sideways?
I recall in the early dotcom days there were companies who thought every person needed to have a Herman Miller chair. Silly thought but they are comfy.
i was lucky enough to end up using saddle chairs for a while, and holy shit they blow anything else out of the water.
You can actually sit straight, rather than either leaning back or forward, it’s fucking amazing. Plus they make it trivially easy to stand up and sit down.
Office chairs have always been, and probably will always be, the way to go
Yup. Gaming chairs are just office chairs with a car seat aesthetic for 8 year olds.
Yeah, gaming chairs aren’t great for being comfy since they are modelled after race seats which are made to make you focus

Gamer force?
Then that’s even more stupid 😭
They are also designed to be reclined when in use, not upright, which is horrible for working with a computer.
they’re made to help you not fucking snap your neck, hence the massive wings on the sides hugging your head
Race seats are designed to hold you in place in high g corners, and keep you safe in a crash. Don’t know why anyone uses one at their computer.

They’re great if you’re tall, though. I love mine, but I really wish I hadn’t done the roller blade wheel upgrade.

Hush let the companies give low level office workers great ergonomic chairs. I’ve spent too much time in bad office chairs
It doesn’t matter. Those companies went out of business about 20 years ago, and the new companies have their own chair policies.
