I got the Flydigi Vader 3 and i’m very happy with it. The sticks are butter smooth. The buttons are very clicky.

I’m a fan of the gamesir G7 SE myself. It’s very affordable. The hall effect sticks feel smoother and more responsive. Also they don’t get stick drift which is why I got mine.

n0clue,

I like that it has mic, I’d like wireless but if third party controllers won’t work with Xbox Controller Connector it doesn’t matter as much.

I got the same controller for the same reason after my Elite Series 2 got stick drift. Really responsive sticks and it doesn't feel too cheap even with the lower price.

I have an elite, but prefer the 8 bit do ultimate. It’s light but sturdy, comfortable, can toggle to pair with my switch or the PC, and has a cool looking charging dock.

n0clue,

I think I’ll have to try that out.

Zelda OOT. I’ve been playing it before bed to wind down. It gives me good feels.

I’m like that with OG Doom. Its half nostalgia and half it just being a fun game to play.

I got a HON Ignition 2.0 a few years back for about $300. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s not a gaming chair. It’s one of the best cheap ergonomic chairs I’ve ever used. You can get them lightly used from Amazon for about $360 nowadays, or $425 new. Between working from home and sitting in front of my computer gaming, I spend probably 8+ hours a day sitting in that chair, and have for the last 3 years. It’s still in great shape and shows almost no wear and tear.

Steer clear of anything that markets itself as being gaming focused. Plenty of middle-of-the-road office chairs provide decent back support and I’d even wager most are better for your long term health than a “gaming” chair. If there’s a local office furniture store nearby then I’d check that out. Still might be a bit pricey but I’m sure they have some cheaper options. My current one was like $200 from one of those stores and it’s served me very well. Super comfy, much better than my sibling’s gaming chair.

I would steer clear of any chairs that

  • function as a billboard for themselves (high back with a logo that’s clearly visible on a twitch stream)
  • are built like a bucket seat from a race car
  • or are otherwise marketed toward “gamers”

I would try looking for a second hand expensive one. I found a guy on CL who restores Herman Millers; sold me a lightly used Aeron for like $300.

The one I used before that was the Ikea Markus (also purchased on CL for $100, barely used).

I got a IKEA Markus for like 150 euros before the pandemic started. Been sitting on it 95% of my working hours since, and honestly don’t have any complaints.

Sure it’s not very adjustable or comparable to 1k+ chairs, but pretty damn good for the price.

Love my Markus. It’s so much better than it has any right to be at that price point. It forces me to sit upright and have good posture.

hemko,

Swedes definitely do some things better than their dogshit hockey

It forces me to sit upright and have good posture.

You’re not stubborn enough.

-Currently “sitting” in one with one leg on the table and my upper back touching the lumbar support

spoilerTime to correct my posture

See if an office equipment seller is doing office clearances and you can get some office chairs for less than $100 most likely (I got one for £50)

deezbutts,

This. I got a like new $1400 chair for $350.

I’ve worked from home for 10 years, logged serious hours in that chair, never felt uncomfortable. It’s a nightingale if that helps.

Nougat, do gaming w Good chair that is *affordable* ?

I am right now sitting on a Steelcase Series 1, and while it doesn't have great lumbar support, it is far better than any shitty $150 "gaming" chair, and is right in your price range brand new.

sleepybisexual, do gaming w Good chair that is *affordable* ?

Maybe a cheap office ish chair?

I have an mti chair and its fine. The arm rests suck but if its under 100 euros its a good buy.

Why is 400 even considered for a chair???

bob_lemon,

If you work from home, you’re spending a lot of time in that chair. A good, ergonomic chair can go a long way to mitigate back issues.

sleepybisexual,

Oh.

What still doesn’t explain 1000 euro + chairs tho

How does a chair even gat that expensive? Aaa

Lesrid, do gaming w Good chair that is *affordable* ?

Anyone have recommendations for an executive style chair with a high back? I assume the reason why I can’t find them anywhere is a combination of them being a larger box by volume and something about ergonomics but I love reclining in a chair with a high slightly wide back that doesn’t put all the weight onto my feet like ‘racer’ style chairs tend to do.

No idea about $$$ and if they even ship to your location but I got my hands on a Backforce One Plus for 500€ and that thing is day and night compared to my last. Arm rests are a little bit wobbly but the rest… dead gods I hope it lasts for the rest of my life.

That’s from someone with a lot of back pain for… reasons.

Forgive me if I am hijacking the thread, but does anyone have a recommendation for a chair that can accommodate a big dude? Like 330 lbs or so? I ordered one off Amazon, and it didn’t last 6 months.

Kit,

My bf is 6’3" 330 lb and uses this chair: www.staples.com/…/product_24398921
