Anyone have that gray hexagon wallpaper from the latest email?
This gray, domed hexagon wallpaper looks like it would be awesome on a curved widescreen! I wonder if anyone has this, or if whoever staged the photo at Drop can chime in?

Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

Stylish Modern Device Holder
It's a bit pricey, but the wood is nice and the geometric angles are modern and stylish. Dig it.

AKRacing...PLEEEASE offer a shorter cylinder as an option. Your competitors do! (i.e needforseat.com and noblechairs.com) I am 5'10" which is statistically the AVERAGE height of the male in the United States.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_average_human_height_worldwide) At my height with the chair in the lowest height setting AND with the short cylinder I bought from one of your competitors the angle of my thighs and lower legs are JUST at a 90 degree angle with my feet flat on the floor without my knees being elevated in even the slightest way. Those people who exceed that height can easily raise the gas cylinder 3-4 inches to find their comfort setting, but what about the entire half of the population (and women too!) who are average OR below. Seems like some design engineer was asleep at the wheel on that one.
By the way...I had a Maxnomic Office Comfort that I returned because in comparison the Onyx chair was a total class above the Maxnomic in comfort. The Maxnomic was hard as a board with really thin foam right in the back of the seat surface where the tailbone rests. So yeah...don't wast your money on that one. The Onyx chair still fits perfectly under my desk which is on the low side anyway. My desk only stands 28" tall. Just go for it...you won't regret it. Also, I have the top grain leather option but honestly I wish I had opted for the cheaper PU version as the PU is extremely durable feeling but yet has a more soft and supple feel that stays very cool and comfortable (despite what others may claim). I find the top grain leather perfectly fine but it has a coarseness to it that I would not have chosen. The reason I know the difference is I actually had both types in my possession briefly because I had ordered the PU version from Amazon at the full retail cost but then found the top grain version at New Egg on sale for less than the PU version. So I went ahead and ordered from New Egg and sent the one back to Amazon for a full refund. Too bad I did all that, just to see this go on Mass Drop only a couple weeks later. Darn it all!
Here is a web site that has a very good comparison review of many of the top office/gaming chairs. It is in german but just use the translate function on your browser. The grammar and syntax is a bit funky as with any direct language translation but the points come through clearly. https://techtest.org/7x-gaming-schreibtischstuehle-im-vergleich-von-dxracer-noblechairs-maxnomic/
Either way, AKRacing offers top notch customer service and quality products with a 5/10 year warranty that is UMATCHED but any other vendor. But if you feel that the Onyx might be too big or too tall for you then the Noblechairs.com ICON might be a good alternative as they seem to make a quality product and offer not one but TWO options of short cylinders! (Face palm). But they only have a two year warranty on their chairs.
