ZQ Racing V6 Racer When pulling the components of the V6 out of the box, you can instantly tell that this is a well-crafted product. Made in Australia, the ZQ Racing range encompasses a broad selection of gaming chairs to cater for all needs. Again, assembly time is around the 15-minute mark, although we've have put together a lot of flat pack furniture over the years, so we're quite the professional. We were sent the black chair with red stripes, and in full build it is a beautiful sight to behold. The PU leather is joined with sumptuous stitching, the overall design lending itself to a top range sports car bucket seat. The Racer comes under ZQ Racing’s Classic Fit range and is thus suited for slim to average height and weight and will support 150kgs. Users can recline to 165 degrees turning the V6 into a veritable dentist's chair. Armrests can be locked at different heights and are well padded for bony elbows. When seated, the high end cushioning foam makes for an extremely comfortable fit, with the turned up edges on the seat, hips and shoulders offering total containment and adding to that sports car vibe. Removable lumbar and neck cushions complete the fit, offering vital support for the spine and promoting good posture over those marathon gaming nights. The V6 Racer is a high calibre gaming seat that would look just as good in front of Project Cars session as it would creating content for your loyal community.

Omen by HP Citadel Gaming Chair

Not only does the Omen brand sport the coolest logo in gaming, its products come with an assured benchmark of quality, and this extends to the Omen by HP Citadel Gaming Chair. Almost disappointingly for the office Allen key wielders, the Citadel turned up pre-built. Like the two previous gaming chairs, this one has a fair bit of weight to it, necessitating assistance to get it up the stairs in the office. The Citadel is another chair that leans towards a racer design but like the Anda 12XL, it features a wide seat with extra padding for additional comfort. A high back helps keep the posture in check. The seat's height is adjustable as is the back rest for gamers who like to recline while they play. Adjustable arm rests can be set for height and can move forwards and backwards, in and out, and angled left and right offering complete customisation. Lumbar and neck cushions offer good support for long play periods. Finished in excellent PU leather, what Omen have created here is a gaming chair that combines practicality with comfort. When you sit in it you can feel the build quality – it’s a gaming chair that will handle just about everything you throw at it.
