Gamers are Toddlers

Gamer chairs have terrible ergonomics and the build quality is often ass. People only think they're good because they've only used something like a wooden kitchen chair or an Ikea Markus. Proper office chairs are far superior.

POV of gamers rushing to yell slurs after League of Legends added voice chat

Every time I look at setups like this my first and only thought is "there is no space for the mouse". The entire desk surface seems smaller than a G840 mousemat in both directions and leaves no room for the forearm for arm aiming. Also, the reclining chair doesn't seem particularly conducive to focu

How much would you spend on a chair for your WFH setup?

If you are going for an Aeron, you really need to try before you buy. They come in different sizes based on size and weight. But the issue is in my experience seat pan isn’t adjustable so you need to make your legs are properly supported. Steelcase Leap V2 are also decent. You see them pop up the od

What chair do y'all use

Ikea Markus. Skip anything with the gaming label, office chairs are infinitely more comfortable. The arms are easily removed for simming, originally why I got it. r/OfficeChairs

Help me choose a desk chair

I woiuld advise against an Ikea desk chair. I've had the 1st and 3rd one. The Markus (1st) is decent, but very one size fits all and I didn't use it for long enough to see how it holds up after a year. The 3rd one was really great at first, but wore out very quickly and ended up making my body feel

Preporuka za radnu stolicu do 40-50k ?

IKEA Markus / Jarvfjallet. Dalje nemoj gledati, jedino ako baš ne skupiš nekog keša za Herman Miller Aeron (polovnu). Gaming stolice na racing fazon su ti najveće smeće što se tiče kvalitete i svega ostalog, ergonomski su ti užas, pa zaobiđi termin "gaming chair" koliko god možeš. Gledaj kancelarijs

Gaming chair got broken

Personally I'd recommend the Markus from Ikea. It's about as good a chair you can find without going into the €400+ office chair segment.

do you have office chair recommendations for a full time wfh student?

The Ikea Markus is absolutely fantastic and comes with a 10yr warranty. Don't be fooled by expensive gaming chairs. https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/p/markus-office-chair-vissle-dark-grey-30261152/
