I have the musso chair and i weigh 475. i can assure you it will hold 450, it holds me with no problem. i love my chair. i have had it for over a year and nothing has broken and nothing has bent. i highly recommend the musso chair it is excellent price to performance and as i said i guarantee holding 450 with no problem. I hope you actually read this. Because the musso is truly a great chair.
amd is killing intel...but i would still buy intel cause nostalgia and better in gaming
I'm glad you posted this because I am shopping for a gaming chair and actually like the look and size of the musso chair. Is it as wobbly as she describes it? There is the chance she assemble it wrong or maybe she just received a bad wobbly chair and not a representative of the product in general.
@@emvill4520 I would be interested to know if the chair that Fredrick has is the exact same chair or a different model. Interestingly enough one part was broken and I had to have them send me a new part. I have built 12 chairs, so it is put together correctly, makes me wonder if the gas lift or where you insert the gas lift they did't get the housing right for this particular chair. Mini Deals is using it and he is light so it is not a concern for him. So many questions.
@@roguestormtv6722 Thanks for the reply Rogue. It looks like they might have some quality issues then.
@@emvill4520 she doesn't know there is an adjustment rocking below. it very clear on the video. u must to tighten the rocking to fix the wobbling.
"A few more cuddly spots." Love it! Good job Rouge, have a Tim Tam, you deserve it.
Thanks for the excellent review Rogue. The level of detail in examining each product was very helpful. Great job!
Oh, Rogue.. you do these chair reviews so well. Very well explained. It's also nice to see your little one helping you out. Good job. 👍
Thank you!!!
About to buy the max and seeing how it looks after 9 months is mindblowing. Thanks for the great video
I game in a wooden,armless chair from the 50s
as do I because I find gaming chairs to be overpriced crap.
I'm sorry.
You can get good deals on chairs from Craigslist or thrift stores. Won't be gaming chairs, however.
Yep, I find an old ottoman and some cushions really help to provide that-ahhh-customized arrangement.
You are a damn rebel...I did that for a few years and I had a MUSSO come up on Facebook for $150 barely used and snagged it!!!
I have had the AKRacing Masters Pro for 4 years and use it daily for multiple hours. Still in amazing shape and very comfortable for hours at a time. Glad I bought it when I did as they were less than half the price they are now.
I ran the straps for the headrest through the buckle that came with my AKRacing Opal chair. Then, I ran the lumbar pad straps through the buckle too. It holds the two pillows on the chair better that way. I got the Opal for $210 at Bestbuy during black friday.
I have the AK Racing Max for a good year and really find it to be a quality chair. I have been working from home so it gets constant use. It is comfortable, adjustable, and the quality of the build is terrific. Would buy again if I needed another one.
I have been using the Max myself at my video editing workstation for while, I’m happy with it.
I also got a deal on the chair from DROP which saved about $100 if I recall correctly.
Wait for 2 years....I have the same chair and the faux leather is falling to pieces DO NOT BUY THIS CHAIR YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, I CAN SEND PICTURES AT REQUEST
I got a Akracing Pro Master and its awesome. My height is 6.4 weight 280pounds. After 3 months does a random tap noise. Overall its fine. It has a part missing from the height adjustment. But they said they send it to me. Didnt returned it since it was the second one. First one was beat up and literally cracked. If buy do it through a known store for easy replacement.
Never mind me, I'm just showing my love and support for my favorite tech channel. In fact I never used something better than a regular office chair from 2006. It's all getting flat at this point and I'm looking o replace it XD.
Thanks for the video comparison!
Thanks for watching!
That Musso looks super comfortable.
The Musso chair has a "rocking' feature. you can tighten it up so that it doesn't rock at all.
absolutely she doesn't know the features. i have both but the musso very comfortable for me. this is bias review.
I have the AKRACING ARTICA is been with me for more than 5 years and still looks and feel as new, great quality, that is true if you willing to wait for a better price sometimes you will find it for under $300 dollars. you can spend hours sitting on this chair and your butt will not be sore great padding.
What I really need is a hammock,, and a hook on my office ceiling; but the hook should be low enough so that I can’t hang myself from the pain that is grad school :/
Ive had a killa bee a titan and an AK racing chair, and of the three, I would absolutely recommend AK racing. They have an amazing product and their customer support is incredible, I will yell you ive had issues with all three, major with the killa bee, and it was only 4 months after I bought it, and I gave them 3 months to get back with me after reaching out to them on every single avenue available, and they didn't even have the decency to respond to me whatsoever! The issues I had with the titan and my AK pro model were very minor, but AK racing was so much easier to deal with and they overnight the parts that were needed to make the necessary repairs, secret labs wasn't bad, but it took them 3 days to respond to me...so I would absolutely go with AK racing!
so you are going with akracing simply because secretlabs takes 2 days longer to respond? Perhaps their longer customer response time is a sign of their popularity? For some people a much higher priority would be the durability of the leatherette, softness of their armrests, quality of their bolts and nuts or price. If you want good value and real leather and larger dimensions at the same time, akracing offers incredible value. But the secretlab titan is considered a higher quality product because of the integrated adjustable lumbar support, swappable gel armrests, and sturdier build which may not justify the higher price.
@@amuthanshan secret labs is not considered a higher quality product. They are competing at the same level…both have specific little features that set them apart. And yes, I absolutely would recommend AK Racing, they have been absolutely incredible when it comes to customer service.
Great video Thanks for all the information. Was on the market for a chair so this is great!
DO NOT BUY AK RACING ,YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Which chair is better,the Akracing onyx office series or the Secret lab titan Xl
I need chair with bottom and back mesh. Is there any? I see only chairs with back mesh not bottom.
After months of research i ditched the idea of buying a 'gaming' chair and bought an ergonomic office chair instead that is actually designed for people who sit at computers for long hours, its also designed for 27/7 use and comes with a 5 year guarantee. My chair is called 'Logix 24-7 High Back Office Chair'
I never liked office chairs compared to gaming chairs. The fact that the back moves independently of the seat bothers me. You can't kick up your feet on the desk.
I just bought the Autonomous Ergo Chair 2, I hope I made the right choice.
Do you like the chair so far? It seems highly recommended.
I have never had a gaming chair specifically, I have always bought quality office chairs. The problem for me is the seat cushion is the first thing to go. What kind of material are these seat cushions made of? Are they just foam or some type of memory foam?
The seat is made from recycled foam...
Even on sale, they're above my price point. They need to come out with an old man model, priced for old men living primarily on their Social Security. :)
I've been looking for a new chair but haven't a clue which chair would suit my back and very lower back which hurts a lot when gaming. Have an ergonomic office chair at the moment but it hurts my coxit bone and the arms are broken. Without being able to try them, how do you know which one is good for you.
You have to measure yourself and I go through how to do this. Take those measurements and compare them against the measurement stats of the chair you are interested in. The company provides these numbers on their amazon listing and on their website. You will get a sense of if their will even fit you. Then the next question to ask is how firm or medium or soft do you want your chair. But again this can be very subjective. In each video I like to offer what kind of give a chair seat has, whether it is firm or if it is has more cushion and is comfortable. At 4:09 in this video it shows you how to measure for your legs - th-cam.com/video/afUwySsgedg/w-d-xo.html and this video at 2:229 if gives dimensions - th-cam.com/video/2WSRv_Z14Pg/w-d-xo.html - you got to do research!!
That voice is amazing to listen to
You need to add the Aloudy arm rests on all of these...
Your Having To Much Fun Testing Those Chair
You two always provide great consumer advice. Much appreciated.
Dennis Mollner II they always do
I'm confused what to buy 3500 with 2060 OR 3600 with 1660super !? 🧐🧐🧐 any suggestions?
@Rogue Storm Thank You for the chair reviews. I decided on the E-Win Champion Series and used your link and code to get a chair for $209 shipped free direct from E-Win. Would you be interested in looking at height adjustable tables? Thank you again.
I love the outro song
Made a rush decision and fell to peer pressure buying an MSI gaming chair. Big mistake and regret. I'm 6'1 250lbs and I feel like the target audience was for children or malnourished teens.
My legs hanged off the seat, my broad shoulders were not cupped but pushed against the back padding and the finicky arm rests were cheap plastic that hurt my elbows if I leaned on them. Also the padding at the base ensures I couldn't spread my legs even slightly, cross legged or knee to knee female posture only.
Use the lumbar support to make my tailbone sore, use without to make my groin numb. Or was it the other way around? Remember my legs do not rest on the chair but had several inches of clearance between my calves and seat with my back against the chair and it wobbled.
Lovely $600 CAD chair for my niece to watch kids movies on now.
I wish I carefully watched all of your reviews on these chairs before making a decision, good work on them!
You have become the only source of trustworthy opinions on gaming chairs, please do not stop the reviews, on the contrary, please do more
For those of you actually looking for a good chair just look at office chairs around the same price of your budget. I'd recommend going for one with a proper head/neck rest, the back made of mesh as it tends to be just as good at supporting your back (with a little bit more give and flexibility which is a must have) but also allows for a built in, and often adjustable, lumbar support rather than the terrible pillows that come with these chairs. Also try to look for a seat that can be adjusted forwards and backwards. The key to a good chair is having as much adjustability built in as you can afford and sadly these gaming chairs don't really have any apart from up and down and reclining. I bought one when I got into PC gaming and I can say I genuinely regret it, also the sides where your arms go restrict the movement of your arm because they stick out so bloody much, I also took the arm rests off because they're pointless...
Nah
@@Tierjar Cool story bro
What office chair would u recommend?
Are the angles on the wings of AKR-Max's back flatter than the non-XL models?
I bought both, will return one. Answering my own question; back rest wings onthe SX are 120° (top half), 105° (lower half) . The Max is 130° (top half), the the lower part flairs so the wings are 120° by the mid point and 110° by the seat. Also if you skip to 11:20, the SX's wings stick out the most between right above the hips. Max's wings are tapered so they don't touch your hips and they're biggest bellow your rib cage. The at at 5'7" 170lbs the SX hugs my waist, it's not constrictive but not a comfortable sensation. On the flip side if you don't use the arm rests, the lower groove on the SX comfortably supports your arms if you drop your arms to your sides, the higher groove on the Max acts as an elbow rest holds you arms slightly forward. I like the elbow support but I can see why some people wouldn't.
@@johnsoleimanian You gonna keep the max? I think the SX plus use the same back as the max.
@@pcangeldust not keeping the SX, probably keeping the MAX , its a decent chair but does have a lot of very small flaws like: cushion extra firm, all the seams are very thick and hard, can't reach the tension knob while sitting, straps are sewn to the pillows , top of the chair isn't padded so you have to use the head pillow, even at full upright the the seat is still tilted back a few degrees, the shiny aluminum base is an eye sore, it's the seat is not centered so theres a risk of tipping forward and its too wide to roll though a standard door.
Watching a video on gaming chairs...while sitting in my gaming chair👍
Nice!
I ordered E-win using your code back on June 22 and they still have not shipped it out.
Boo! Sorry to hear that!
Gaming chairs require a separate, strap-on lumbar support. Real desk chairs have a design that takes care of that on its own.
What's a chair for over 300 pounds that i can lean back in without breaking something?
I vote AKRacing any day.
But I do like there fabric chairs better than a sticky bum on hot summer day sitting on PU Leather. 😁
In my country we only get Chinese and Philippines chairs like the fantech.. and these don't have any reviews on them...
Tech seems like he has BMI less for Max chair and more for SX chair. Has he has tried SX chair and is he comfortable in it? I am not anywhere near the max weight/BMI of the Max. Tech seems to be close to my height/weight/BMI. Would he purchase the SX for himself or would he stick to the Max? I have been looking at purchasing a chair for a few months now and have not pulled the trigger because I can't sit in one, and didn't want to spend $$$$ for something that would not be comfortable, handle my size and weight and be of poor quality. BTW thanks Rogue for your time and effort on your reviews!
The MAX is larger than I need, but it’s nice having an oversized chair sometimes... I probably would buy the SX personally... or the EWin
I need a chair that is comfortable sweat resistant and highly reliable.
I’ve been using the purple Max chair for awhile now at my video editing workstation, no complaints.
Dont buy a 'gaming' chair, instead look for an ergonomic office chair from an office supplier with the features you're looking for.
Surpluss Herman Miller. That is the only correct answer.
Don't buy a "gaming" chair, buy a real chair.
DO NOT BUY AK RACING ,THE FAUX LEATHER PEELS OFF WITH THE HUMIDITY, I SPENT £250 and now its out of warranty they tokd me there is nothing they can do.
Got the max yesterday close to five hundred . Needs bigger head pillow can get it to go up and down . Worth the price? For looks and weight yes. But a 300 dollars office chair would suffix . Leather looks like fake leather .
Office chairs are always better.
Well still depends, an office chair to become good in my country needs some big chunk of cash making gaming chairs the budget one
it really depends. If you play fps games on high ranks or competitively, i cant imagine an office chair ever beating a gaming chair.
Heads up Tech and Rogue, I'm no longer getting your videos in my recommended feed despite being subbed, so I assume it's the same for others.
Gaming chairs, because they're trying to mimic racing chairs don't make sense to me. Why? Posture. The flair on the sides, pushing your shoulders forward, why? You don't need to be hugged in the chair, like you do in a race care, going around a track. Doesn't make sense and I've sat in a few, they are NOT for people who want to sit up properly with good posture. Unless of course you're a smaller person who actually fights right between the padding. WHich then doesn't make sense with how much weight they CAN support, boggle.
Totally agree. I'm saving for a Steelcase Gesture.
I might be the only one here who absolutely hates the way office chairs are and prefer gaming chairs. Not because of how popular but the simplicity and the comfort I love.
If you are seriously that worried about your posture though that you would shit on a gaming chair because its not made for ergonomics, look at your bed. A bed is completely flat and most people use memory foam beds. Memory foam isn't that good for your posture, usually have shitty lumbar support, and I can never sleep on my back, I can only sleep on my side and even then im not that comfortable. The funny part is you arent constantly shitting on your bed and saying how its super bad for your posture, but you shit on a gaming chair. Sleep is one of the most important things on this earth and if you cant sleep because you're uncomfortable or you start getting back or neck problems then you'll wind up getting permanent injuries, you may oversleep and be up all night, etc.
Same with your couch. Dining room. Anywhere you sit down most likely has shitty support. Why would you get mad because a chair isn't good enough in a gaming setup but yet everywhere else in your house you have shitty support except for that one office chair. Yea I know that nobody is gonna have 7 herman miller embodys in their dining room and some crazy purple bed and high tech couch, but I just feel you should stop talking down on gaming chairs when literally what you sleep on on a day to day basis is most likely shitting on your posture and causing problems.
Cries in patio chair
Yay, Rogue-er...whatever your name is, this was great. Please also start reviewing alternative non-specialized and affordable chairs/furniture and other gear found at Home Depot, Best Buy, Office Depot, etc. Also, why not talk a bit about repurposed materials so that we do not always support a disposable economic culture, something the Earth does not need? We also need to consider those without hundreds of dollars to buy such a specialized and frivolous bit of office gear. Take care and take care of one another and the Earth.
Great video.

Very budget tier? I'd wait a few months before building a new pc; we will likely see lower prices and a wider selection, especially if buying used components.
Buy a good office chair rather than buying a GaMiNgChAiR
Exactly. Seems to me that gaming chairs were made only to create a new market fad. I'll stick with my comfty office chair.
Name one top notch, first class model of an office chair. I'll start: HermannMiller.
@@spyderlogan4992 spending 230 on a Musso is great compared to spending 1,600 on an embody chair, its not overrated and im telling you using them for as long as I have it doesn't ruin your posture that bad, theres many people who use it and don't have a problem at all. Its personal preference, what is comfortable to you. Maybe you dont like gaming chairs but I prefer them from personal experience over those highly expensive seats. Sorry, its not worth 1600 just to be able to sit down and not die of bad posture.

Nah, gaming chairs suck. Get a great office chair like the Realspace Tresswell Bonded Leather High-Back Executive Chair. It's the best chair I have ever gotten.
Agreed. After years of gaming in crap chairs, I went with a Herman Miller Embody. My back has never been so happy!
They Are just really ugly for My Adult office setup
Honestly, gaming stuff looks horrible..... there should be a name for the super clean, cable managed style that fogoes gamery stuff altogether.
Just order a secretlab chair.
It's no better than the chairs in this video. It's a gaming chair that is overpriced, overhyped and comes with cushions, just like most.
She sounds Australian
I hate those goofy pillows. Stupidest idea ever! Are there any good gaming chairs that are comfortable that don't have a pillow?

Its called Aluminum, Al-u-min-um there is no "i" between the 'n and m'. So Americans say it correctly, also an American invented the manufacturing process.
