0:58 They even went to the Razer site for the guide video. Did they just do that on their own, or somehow read that info off the sheet without reading the first part?
"dont worry guys, we're going to use the instructions this time" casually tosses the instructions on the ground then proceeds to bury them with trash plastic and foam packing material
Dude that's so true! I bought the razer wireless pro and it said the same thing "Designed and engineered in California" But when i checked on del where the package was at the time, (something like fedex, amazon, ups,...) It literally said "HONG KONG SAR, CHINA" Im dying
@@realism9999 its a Razer mask, every normie who thinks razer is for gaming and knows its expensive af will think you're rich, thats like the purpose of razer, makes you look rich for no reason at all
@@IcyCubey really? Wow that’s surprising honestly since how shockingly similar their assembly process and the new packaging was. Even all the way down to the toolkit. Thanks for correcting me.
Unless this was a sponsorship I don't see the point in reviewing gaming chairs. Everyone knows that it's a terrible idea. Basically all of them are crap for your posture and it's an overrpriced mess
I'd usually agree with that statement, but this chair looks completely different from the 99% of the other chairs that look exactly the same. Except for the fundamentals that all chairs share that is. That doesn't mean it's good, but it definitely looks different.
6 minutes in and I already know this is an uncomfortable chair. Tip: If the seat of the chair does not almost reach the back of your knees then you will not want to sit on it for long. He’s 5’6” and it still doesn’t! Shame.
Usually short people have have the opposite problem with the seat being too long. When he first sits in it at 4:41 without the lumbar it goes all the way to his knees. The lumbar design, though, really looks like it will make it uncomfortable for anyone that uses it. Like it's trying to push you out of the chair. It also just looks massive. That backrest is much thicker than most chairs
Once you've seen one "gaming" chair you've seen them all, chintzy racecar looking chair that says fuck off to ergonomics and long term comfort. Also reviewing a chair lmao the state of "gamers" in 2021.
I just bought this chair. I think once you put all the components in the places that you want, it's really comfortable. I use it as my work and gaming chair, so the fact that I'm sitting up comfortably with lumbar and head support is huge. Really the only thing I wish, and it's not even a big deal, is that the wheel base was a little larger. I usually like to rest my feet on the base and find it's much smaller than my last chair. Super minor detail that will take some adjustment. That being said, it does make the chair a little easier to tip, but I'm not really bouncing or moving much in this chair to really fear tilting it over. Overall, the chair is super solid. I feel it supports me really well (5'11", 230 lbs.). It's hard for me to compare it to any other gaming chair since this is my first. It is a bit pricey, but I figured I'd invest immediately into a good one so that I'll never have to replace it, as opposed to some of the amazon chairs that I see. I will admit that I have a bias towards Razer products - I'm generally a fan. The chair is normally CAD$800.00, but I got it from Best Buy on their Boxing Day sale for $300.00 off, so it was way cheaper than normal.
@@gloez or its just a reference used all around the gaming community to call someone a hacker in a funny way, it is not limited to minecraft, nor did the meme begin from minecraft
So according to Razer, while using the Iskur you shouldn't: -Sit on the edge of your seat during a tense gaming moment -Dodge bullets like Neo in The Matrix -Have sex -Forge swords and build nuclear bombs -Use the chair as a surfboard -Get this is Sparta'd by someone else
The ONLY reason for gaming chairs with side bolsters is for a Sim racing rig which is where they came from. I rmemeber building a rig in about 2010 for GT5 with a racing seat low down and at an angle (like a race car) but then over the next decade seeing that same style of chair being propped up on office chair legs for computers, it's ridiculous and stupid.
These seat reviews are convincing me more and more that I just need to pick a cheap used luxury car seat and hook it up to a 12 volt battery in my room.
Or go to a office that is selling their office chairs. Best and cheapest way to get a legit chair. Vehicle chairs are not made for someone to sit like they do at a desk.
Razer didnt build shit. A chinese company did it, who also does it for Secret Labs etc. Could you actually do some research before you make such a video. Best thing to do: Dont get a gamer chair, get an office chair. Cheaper, and higher quality
Dude, I would love to see Chase presenting gaming related items and give out the best bang for the buck since he's cheap, like a lot of us. Also a gaming channel from LMG would be totally AWESOME.
DO NOT EVER CHEAP OUT ON A CHAIR. You idiots scream about not cheaping out on a PSU, the same need-case is for the chair. If you care about your back health and saving tens of thousands on back-related injuries, buy a nice chair. FFS.
@@evolicious I work at my computer and game so I'm in my chair anywhere from 8-12 hours a day. Best thing I ever did was buy a chair with good back support.
@@anotsoroyal I've bough 2 "Gaming" chair in my life. A 300$ one from Canada Computers and one a Titan from secret lab, and I can tell you for a fact, these were FAR to be the same. Secret's lab is by far more comformtable
This chair, and box contents etc, looks exactly like the new chair I just got (secret lab) and my brothers (noblechair), they're all made in the same factory LMAO
Still, a shame you didn't test the Herman Miller chair for a few weeks and see how you'd like it for actual work. Personally, I moved into a workplace with Herman Miller Aeron chairs, and I have never felt better at the end of a workday in front of a screen. And I'd like to know how the Embody is.
@Right Round Well I can only strongly disagree. Many chairs are comfortable on first sit, but leaves you with pains in your back or tail bone after sitting for hours. But you can believe whatever you want, doesn't change that I'd like such a review.
@Right Round Yeah this isn't true at all. As Zocress said, sitting in a chair for a short bit, 30 minutes, an hour, two hours, is all well and good. Sitting in a chair for 8 plus hours of your day is another thing entirely and comfort and back support can go a loooong way. There is a much bigger difference than you make out especially considering that a lot of high end chairs (though not all of them) have a ton of customisability built in so that regardless of your size, you can change seat depth, seat tilt, back tilt, lumbar support height and amount of support, arm rest width apart, distance forward or back, angled or not etc. as well as seat height as per usual and chairs like the Embody or Leap bend with your back when you tilt to properly support you no matter how you're sitting (within reason of course) therefore making it much better suited for a wider variety of people and therefore more likely to BE comfortable for a specific person than a chair with far less customisation built in.
I feel like I've seen this chair before... But it wasn't razor branded. Hmm, china? Are you selling the same chair to big companies and slapping their logo on it 🤔
Yeah they build gaming chairs like the seats of a hardcore sports car. Those things arnt comfortable. they are to stop you moving around which is not what you want on a chair that you sit in for long periods of time. Gaming/racing chairs are such a meme
I think the chair's "person catcher" things around it's edges are more to enforce a good posture than to prevent people from falling out of the chair. I also wonder how much of the people's complaints can be ultimately chalked up to "it's different than what I'm used to right this minute, and I don't want to spend the time to try adjusting to it to test it out.
Yeah got this chair months ago and at first it was a bit uncomfortable around my thighs, but months on my body has adapted to it and find the chair perfectly comfortable. My posture has definitely improved, especially after long gaming sessions where I would slowly end up slouched on other chairs. The lumber support has been good for my body height and size once I got it dialled in. So far the material has held its own too. Even after hours upon hours of use it's still in as new condition.
DONT BUY THIS CHAIR I received this product, assembled and instantly packed into box and sent back. Wheels - bad spinning Lumbar support - too big Armrest - bad quality overall and low lift Headrest - all bad Material - too rigid Thigh support - bad angle, too vertical, blocking your thighs Overally, chair is small, smaller than Secretlab Omega.
Ngl, I don't think I ever gonna buy a gaming chair after watching that video, surely I had my doubts about them before but gamersnexus just confirmed some of these suspicions.
PU leather is absolute shame on humanity, that garbage will detoriate in 4 -5 months time which is not an acceptable life span for any product. I don't understand why people buy any gaming chair with that garbage on it. It will look like crap for sure and when the alternative is just a simple fabric that works way better, I don't understand why manufacturers even use that thing. I don't understand why the world didn't ban PU leather usage in the first place. That horrendous product shouldn't exist on anything like headphone cushions, belts, bags, jackets, anything. Just a waste product. There should be a law pushed that should forbid its usage forever. For headphone cushions waxed fabric will create the sound seal that pu leather creates a way durable alternative so pu leather wouldn't have any pro argument there either. Its just trash.
I'm lowkey so proud of Linus seeing all these new people on the show, and know that he started by himself just reviewing pcs in a garage. Good for you man, it makes me happy to see such an awesome show from a dude who just liked tech 🤷♂️
I like that some of the LMG staff have their own niches on ShortCircuit. Like how Brandon is the camera guy, David likes mice, if it's a laptop it tends to have Alex, and Anthony does weird retro gaming stuff (there are exception obviously). But how did Colton become the Chair Guy?
lolololol @ "built from the ground up". They took the same chair that every manufacturer is using and added a gimmicky lumbar adjustment. It probably costs them another $30 per unit to make for the lumbar adjustment and they've cranked the price to $500 for what should be a $350 chair.
The Titan XL from secretlabs which is the same price seems to have a way better lumbar support system. The chair itself is also way bigger for the price. I think you should do a review of the softweave version. The fabric is really amazing, soft and confortable. Not sticky and hot like most gaming chairs with fake leather. The design is low key too which I really like. The headrest and the armrest are the same as the razer too.
Gaming chairs still being ruined by "racing seat" styling. In 2020. Anyone who buys this will enjoy future nerve damage, back problems and blood clots that you will earn from falling for visual marketing.
cool man did you get their rgb gaming credit card too? LOL....for $500 get an ergo chair. unless your a streamer and just wanna look cool. the lumbard support is cool though. the problem with gaming chairs is you can't adjust it enough. on an ergo chair you can adjust the height of the lumbard support. you can tilt the back forward more and you can move the butt part forward and back, and on some you can also tilt the butt part up and down in the front. This makes it nice for the intesne gaming sesions you can tilt the back forward and move the butt part back so you can sit all up in the screen and still lean on the back rest. as stated earlier gaming chairs are more about form over function.
So it's overpriced and gimmicky. Gonna pass. Or retrofit a seat from a W221 Mercedes S-Class, and it's going to have power to its lumbar settings. For the same price.
fyi, that's cheap compared to a legit officer chair. No one that mostly sits all day should be buying cheap chairs. Invest in a good chair and it will be payed back 10 fold later down the line if you are susceptible to back issues.
I actually got this chair for $299 recently from auction new in box. Its actually really comfortable, It is the XL. I have a hmiller embody but have been giving this chair a real go. I recommend headrest off there site. Also I added roller blade wheels to them.
1/3rd the price of a Herman Miller and 3x as likely to permanently disfigure your back with that wonky lumbar support. Otherwise a totally standard gaming chair design.
I have the SecretLab Titan. Those arm rests are practically identical. Honestly, I might just save up for a Herman Miller and chill with that for the rest of my life. These gaming chairs are so stiff and fatiguing after 4 hours.
