Finding the right gaming chair (kbin.social)

Hey there,

I returned to playing computer after years of playstation. When I stopped playing, I was much younger than I am now.

Age: 33
Weight: 124kg
Height: 176cm

So I have that cheap office chair but on long sessions I can feel some stress in my back. Don't have that in the office at work - but those chairs are probably much better.

So right now I'm struggling to find a decent chair that actually is good for my back and not just a chair that can bend back if you know what I mean.

So as I already struggled finding the right keyboard and mouse, I am struggling with finding the right chair. I don't want to pay a fortune but also know that a good chair will not come off cheap.

A friend suggested Secretlab and also spoke about Back force one or something like that.

What should I pay attention to, next to weight and stuff, and what can you actually recommend?

Lots of thanks in advance!

I have a Steel case Leap V2 and yes a chair can be expensive, I think I paid like 600 for mine, but you owe it to yourself to get a comfortable chair your back will thank you. One of my biggest recommendations is to see if there is an office liquidation center near you that way you can walk around and try a chair out before you buy it, also this helps you find a chair you like and then you can look to see if people are selling that chair for cheaper. These chairs are long term investments but they are worth it in the end.
