Why does that mean it's made for sc? I don't understand why a good chair is different from a gaming chair | ||

What are the features that make you think it is good as a gaming chair as opposed to good as a chair? | ||

Ahh...well when you are playing games it is good to be sitting in an ergonomic comfortable position that is healthy for your neck / back, I have been having a lot of issues with neck / back pain, and so I feel that this chair in turn be perfect for gaming, as that is what I use the chair for ... gaming. Therefor the reason I said this chair is perfect for gaming is because the design, this chair would benefit anyone who sits infront of a PC playing StarCraft a game for 8+ hours a day, although it would benefit anyone sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day as well so I guess I see where you are coming from. | ||

But there is no point in arguing just for the sake of arguing, which it seems you are trying to do. I too am looking for a new chair, and as someone who plays games, and does work in a chair, I was wondering if there were any features I should be looking for. Thanks for answering my question, though  | ||

Thanks for answering my question, though Right well I think it was really stupid of me to think that there is a difference between office / gaming chair, I have never actually sat In a DXRacer / maxnomic chair before ( These seem to be the best "GAMING " Chairs), but I also have never sat in these really nice "Office" chairs, people were right. There is no reason to go for an expensive "Gaming" chair like DXRacer / maxnomic unless you are rich / have the extra money / are picky / or maybe really tall ( I heard the DXRacer chairs are better for tall people and not so good for short people ) , this chair is amazing because it automatically reclines for you as you lean back, so you are always in the most comfortable position, but it doesn't lean back to easily so it's not like you will have trouble while gaming, it is amazingly comfortable in all aspects imaginary for me, but I am a short person. I weigh like 140LB's and I am only like 5'4 - 5'5 , so I am a very small dude, so I would honestly go by staples / office depot / office max / best buy , ect. and literally sit in all these chairs like other people suggested to me, because when I sat in the staples hyken I fell in love! They didn't have It in stock and that sucked but I immediately ordered it online on my phone, the package came the very next day ( wtf amazing ! ) , It was shipped and arrived in under 24 hours ! It is sitting at my house now and I will be setting it up when I get home... I got really psyched out and really wanted a "gaming" chair but like I said before, unless you are rich or have a lot of money saved up , or are absolutely set on this and a lunatic about it, then I'd go with an office chair , you might find another gem like the Hyken! But if you are a relatively small person like me and looking for a nice chair that I think is perfect for starcraft, go with the Hyken... trust me | ||

Computer glasses are legitimate and are recommended by optometrists to people who work at a computer for extended periods of time and experience eye-strain even after following basic advice like the 20-20-20 rule. They basically are specially prescribed glasses for mid-range sight activities like looking at a monitor about 4 feet away, where normal glasses are intended for farther distances and sometimes don't work quite right (and ditto for reading glasses and very near distances). They also filter out certain kinds of light (similar to what sunglasses do) that monitors emit that can cause eye strain for some people / are specially designed to reduce glare, which is also a major cause of eye strain. There's definitely some snake oil out there tho; I'd get the optometrist's opinion before buying, and you probably don't need them if you have no trouble reading the text on your monitor without glasses (which is sometimes just a matter of increasing the zoom). Maybe your complaint is just about branding them as gaming, but there's my info dump anyway ;p | ||
