Cooler Master Caliber X1C Ergonomic Gaming Chair Black, Cool-in Fabric, 360° Swivel, 180 Reclining, Lumbar Support, High Density Foam Cushions, 4D Armrests, Adjustable Gas Lift for PC Game | Office

I prefer this chair over both of my Herman Miller Mirra and Mirra 2 chairs. I have owned the chair since the holidays, use it every day, and I am qualified to say we have been lied to by the industrial and media "chair snobs" ;-) that suggest gaming chairs are inferior for office work. I was so convinced by the typical online narrative that I never would have even tried a gaming chair had this one not advertised a 'keep cool' feature for not over-heating during long gaming (or office sitting) sessions. In addition to being sturdy, comfortable, offering 4 way adjustable arm rests and feeling like a premium product, the chair does keep me from getting hot as the seat materials do a good job of not absorbing heat. As I write, it is winter in Texas, so I am happy to report the cushion is not cold either. It is simply a neutral fabric. The cushion itself is reasonably thick, though the newer model is slightly thicker. The seat is quite large with a lot of room for longer legs and height (though I am 5'11). It feels somewhat firm, not a cushy as I might have liked, but it feels like it just gets more comfortable the longer I sit in it. I love leaning back in it and putting my feet on a foot stool or the desk. If I wanted I could lean all the way back and take a nap. though, I have little reason to do so, as I work from home and can easily go to the sofa if I need a quite siesta. I have two cats, so its nice to know the chair has "scratch proof" fabric. So far, so good on that front. In comparison to my Herman Miller chairs, this one tops both of them in comfort and (in my opinion) ergonomics all day long. The Herman Miller is a cold seat, which isnt great for winter, and not even great in the summer, because with the A/C on it just feels cold and hard. It doesn't have a full head rest, and there is about the same amount of space in the seat for the torso. Even at the full MSRP, this chair provides so much more value and comfort than the Herman Miller, that I am disgusted to have misled so badly by what I have read online. Lastly, this chair looks nice on camera in my meetings. It is professional, adds a splash of color, but doesn't in any way seem unfit for an executive. One more thing, I love the lumbar which stays in place as you slide it up and down to fit where you need it. This works better for me than the knob you turn to adjust lumbar in the Herman Miller. My only complaint for the chair is minor. The pillow is so full and puffy it serves almost no purpose. I find I only need a pillow if I want to lean back and browse or game. For that purpose I bought a pillow that Razer sells and added a bungee cord so I can take it on and off. I hope my review helps dispel the notion that office chairs are superior to gaming chairs, irrespective of the maker.

I had a cheap "gaming" chair before and was disappointed with it. the cushion was flat from the get-go, the quality felt cheaper than the price, and the gimmicks were absolute gimmicks which would wear out after the 3 time using it.This chair however has given me a great first impression. The assembly was easy, and the quality feels superb, (the pu leather has better feel than expected and the mesh is firm yet flexible.) The seat made out of foam is also firm but soft enough that I feel comfortable and that I'm not sinking and hitting the metal or too hard that I'm sitting on a rock. The mesh back is right where I would want it to be, being able to support me, while keeping cool. The lumbar support was not as adjustable as i thought, but it still able to adjust and lower it to where i want on my spine. The head rest/cushion is also adjustable and feels as good as the seat. Not too hard, not too soft. id give it a good 9.4 where it fits what i was looking for but definitely some bonus points for it having such a good price while on sale.

Received the chair three days ago.Assembling the chair took about 30 minutes, using an electric impact driver with an Allen wrench bit. Assembly using the provided multi-tool would probably add another 30 minutes to assembly. The only step which I found confusing, was Step 2 in the instructions. It sort of shows the attachment of the armrests in this step, but not clearly. Attachment of the armrests needs to be finished prior to installing the handles on the tilt mechanism.The chair is extremely comfortable for most tasks. The only drawback to this chair is that the lowest setting of the chair is higher than the usual chair. The armrests do not go low enough to fit under the edge of my desk, and the height of the seat makes driving with a wheel and pedals feel like every car is a truck. (This cost one star.)The previous aside, this chair is very comfortable. Both the seat and the backrest are a very firm foam, giving a comfortable yet supportive surface, similar to a car seat. The seat fabric is of a seemingly high quality, and the PU leather on the back looks natural. The tilt mechanism operates smoothly, and the included lumbar and headrest pillows add to the comfort.EDIT: I solved the height problem; it's the wheels. I replaced the oversized wheels on the chair with wheels from a "retired" office chair. It doesn't seem like it would make a significant difference, but it did it for me.TLDR: Very comfortable, but an option for smaller casters would make it almost perfect.
