Good office/gaming chair ?

My bottom is starting to hurt and I need a new chair
I have doing some research and I am considering a DXRACER gaming chair (King serie)
Anyone has any experience, wisdomness or opinion to share about good office/gaming chairs... would love to hear from this community about chairs.
Especially about the DXRACER King version (I think that suits my posture; 193cm, 93kg)

cheers,


btw: Left chair is modeled in Archicad, middle chair is modified in C4D,
and the right is object after playing around in Substance Painter.

Hi!

I had OMP HA777 for 15-16 months (http://www.ompracing.it/en_gb/omp-style ... 44725.html) which is chair made before all those new DXracers and it's essentially same/shape/features. Chair was very comfortable and robust quality. Only thing what was not up to quality level was hand rests foam (that started to crack after 10 months).

for last 13 months I'm using SteelCase Gesture (http://www.steelcase.com/products/offic ... s/gesture/) which is much better quality ad ergonomics but price is also much bigger so it's hardly to expect same level/quality.

cheers

Hey Lewis,
Thanx for sharing and links.
I was also looking at the Steelcase chairs, but I really need/want my neck/head to be able resting,
and the dxracer seems to have higher headrest then the steelcase chairs,
...what is your thought about that?
Cheers,

Yeah DXtacer is higher up to the head/back and steelcase is another price league so you could go with DXracer just fine, especially for gaming.

I would HIGHLY recommend a task chair (specifically design for extended periods of sitting).

ie. http://be.formway.com/be.html is the one I have at home (~$900). and the office uses all Form+Function Ara (~$400)
The Steelcase suggestion is a good one too. key is to shop for a 'Task Chair'

Should be 6+way adjustment; mesh back (in hot climate, or at least ventilated), lumbar support, and if it has armrests they should be adjustable (if not removable). not all people/work suits armrests, ie some people lean on them to one side and put their back out - plus at your height they may be too low & cause you to bend your spine when leaning on them during your work activities anyway.

Experience: 6 years doing commercial workspace and retail fitouts in various professional industries (legal, financial, engineering, design, etc). Our clients generally do a lot of siting.

p.s. I'm sure there some other workspace designers/architects here too...
