Hi, i was wondering if any gamer here has had any  experience with Secret Lab computer chairs? If so how are they? And are they worth the money? Thanks

no but your name

They are better than most "gaming" chairs, but are still not worth their price imo. In fact, none of the so called "gaming" chairs are worth their money. If you want a great chair and are at least somewhat handy, find a car seat you like from CL/Fb marketplace. You can get a great leather seat from Bmw/MB/Lexus/some minivan (minivan's tend to have great seats as they are geared for long trips) for about $200-300 and another $50-100 will get you the hardware to turn it into a regular office chair. Not only will it be comfy to sit in for days, but it will also last you a lifetime.

Yeah, I would highly recommend avoiding any type of chair like that - whether it's one of those gaming chairs or a cheap chair from your big-box office supply store - unless it's going to be seldom used.  Otherwise, you'll end up replacing them very frequently.

 

If the chair is going to see high usage, do yourself a favor and get a real office chair or an automobile chair converted into an office chair like Evil_Putin suggested.

I've had one now for over a year and like it with the exception of height adjustment. Better have long legs if you get their biggest chair. Secret Lab doesn't seem to be too concerned to help me with it.

i was going for the omega, so i take it you cant adjust height or is it just small adjustments to height?

They are good, but the price is too high for the quality. It's a better option to just go with an "office" chair over a "gaming" chair to save some money

I have the Titian with the fabric covering instead of the pu vinyl. Have tried the office chairs and the imitation leather always comes apart and they are hot. [ I live in South Texas]. I'm 6' 3"  and like how it is very adjustable, I also built a footrest under my desk. So far it's very comfortable. The web site gives the measurement so you can decide if it will fit.

They just put gaming in front of the name to widen the market.A real gaming chair would have hydraulics.

I use high back office chairs. Some are better than others, but it sometimes comes down to the amount of time you sit in them.

The most comfortable one I have had was a Setra (Yes, the Mattress company) I bought at Walmart.
