I have been sitting on computer chairs for most of my life, whether it’s been at home, gaming or at work. It’s very important to be comfortable while sitting for extended periods of time because if you’re not taking care of how you’re sitting, you could really hurt your back. I got a lucky opportunity to take a DXRacer Formula series chair for a spin. Here is my overview.

Appearance

I have always liked the designs of DXRacer chairs. They remind me of my old mustang’s bucket seats. Its colors are a stark contrast to the normal boring flat colors I’ve seen. My particular DXRacer chair has some bright green highlights, but they do come in a variety of colors and designs to suit anyone’s taste.

Reliability

Chair Stitching

The DXRacer seat looks to be built to last. Its quality is visible from the stitching, the solid finish and the firm padding. It uses a mixture of PU, Fabric and Vinyl which seems to breathe well. It’s a great chair for summer and feels like it would hold up to hours of gaming. The swivel base is aluminum with solid casters with independent wheels. There are also some accent pieces on top which can be easily popped out for those who want a more flush feeling.

Comfort

The adjustments available with the chair exceeded my expectations. The arms are adjustable up and down to the extreme. They go down nearly to my hip height, which means you’ll have good clearance for low tables. The arm rests are padded rubber, so it’s hard enough for a good push off, but soft enough to rest your elbows without irritation. The rests are thin but have a groove for arms to fit comfortably and the seat makes you feel like you’re sitting in a baseball glove. The cushions are soft and adjustable to feel just right. Having the option to recline all the way back like a traditional car seat is an awesome bonus, especially when transitioning from PC to console, or when you want to stretch out and watch Netflix.

Overall

DXRacer Chair

To be frank, I wasn’t expecting much from this chair. The formula series is one of the lower end models and my first impression of the DXRacer was of a racing chair bolted onto a swivel base. To my surprise the design seems well planned and solid. It really feels like a chair you can sit in comfortably for many years, and will probably last as long you’ll be sitting and gaming.
