    Yeah, gaming chairs aren’t great for being comfy since they are modelled after race seats which are made to make you focus

      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.

      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.

        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.

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

        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?
