Those racing chairs are pieces of shit. They fail at their one job... being a good computer desk chair.
A lot of them come with a removable lumbar support pillow. If your chair doesn't have something as dead-basic as built-in lumbar support, then it is a shitty chair. Especially for the price you pay for those racing chairs.
If you actually want a good chair, look around on Craigslist (or the equivalent in your country/region) for people selling used office furniture. Look for the brands Herman Miller and Steelcase. They are highly regarded as some of the best chairs you can buy. And they last nearly forever with proper care (which is why buying used isnt a big deal). Those chairs cost $600-$1000 retail, but can often be found for under $200 used.

kent1146While we appreciate your post there is about 50 people at Massdrop that would disagree with you because they are all sitting in gaming chairs. AKRacing chairs have great comfort, ergo support and overall superb quality. Not all gaming chairs are made the same and no other gaming chair has a 10 year warranty but AKRacing.
I have the AKRacing Onyx Series at work and the AKRacing Pro Series at home. Neither of them do I use the lumbar or neck support. The chair itself has this support built in. The pillows are just there for added support if needed or for people who sit in non-traditional positions. These are great chairs and a community favorite.

AKRacingSupportCould you specify how long you've used each of the chairs and how they're holding up in terms of cushioning, frame, and upholstery? I've been in the same Wal-Mart office chair off and on for about 6 years with a lot more use recently and am really tired of sitting on the frame and the awful creaking. Been looking at a few racing style chairs and this one is a slightly better price than the seeming standard of $300 for most other base models from better quality manufacturers.

g_gazelleBetter quality than AKRacing? Who? I gave up my DXRacer Iron series chair for the AKRacing I now sit in. I have had it for 3 years now and it still looks and feels like new. No signs of breakdown in the padding and not any show of wear on the PU leather. These chairs are legit dude.

AKRacingSupportHaha nah I was grouping AKRacing WITH the better ones, hence why I'm considering one. That's good to know. I want to get a chair that'll last a good while as they're a decent investment and appreciate the response!

kent1146Salty opinion. I've had the prox for over a year and purchased it at a similar price to this chair. I'm a larger man 6'6" 300, sit in the chair daily and have never had an issue with comfort.
