Is the DX Racer even any good? I feel like its 90% marketing, like the Beats of chairs.

ZeeKayExactly my thoughts. I keep reading comments that say it's gotta be comfortable because that's how seats are designed in cars, and people tend to spend a lot of time sitting in car seats.
There are a few problems with that, first being most people don't actually have racing seats in their cars, so most car seats aren't of this design.
Sitting in front of a desk is totally different compared to sitting in a car. For one your legs are going to be at a totally different angle, and your hands aren't going to be up on a wheel, or down on a shifter.
And lastly, these aren't Recaro or Corbeau seats. You're literally buying something stylized to look like something else, rather than an actual racing seat on a chair piston with wheels.
Considering the Aeron and Ergohuman are designed to be office chairs, I'd say they're a safer bet than the racing chairs.
Plus this seems akin to products such as an army helmet headset for your PC/Console. Rather gimmicky and not focused on function.
