What to look for in a gaming chair
Like anything aimed toward comfort, a gaming chair is deeply personal. So be sure to weigh the following features and priorities when picking your rig.
- Budget: More money tends to offer more adjustability and features
- Adjustments and comfort: Do you want a movable head cushion and lumbar feature? How much control do you want on tilting mechanisms
- Design and style: Many CORSAIR chairs feature subtle colorways, but the racing oriented models offer pops of color.
What is the difference between an ergonomic office chair and a gaming chair?
There are plenty of similarities between office productivity-focused chairs and gaming chairs, such as back support, angle adjustability, and quality of materials. However, gaming chairs tend to put a focus on comfort as you’re sitting back—rather than leaning forward. Therefore, they are often taller, with more robust head and shoulder support. You’ll also find a lot more vibrant colorways in this category than office-oriented furniture.
