Gaming chairs are not like other chairs. They must survive brutal battles and epic explorations, fight on distant worlds and sneak around real worlds. That means making them sturdier and more comfortable than regular chairs – and the new ThunderX3 range may be the strongest and most comfortable of them all.
Comfort really matters when it comes to gaming chairs: you’ll spend more time on yours than you ever would on the couch or on a kitchen chair, and that means even minor issues can become incredibly annoying during a long gaming session. And of course, poor posture can lead to physical stress and tension that can last long after the final boss has been defeated. So it is crucial to get a high-quality chair with excellent ergonomics. And that’s where the ThunderX3 CORE comes into the picture.
The new ThunderX3 CORE raises the bar for in-game comfort, even during the longest gaming sessions. Combining exceptional ergonomics, incredible engineering and complete comfort, they are the perfect companion for every kind of gamer and every kind of game.
What makes ThunderX3 gaming chairs so great?
With the CORE gaming chair, ThunderX3 has made features that you normally find on the most expensive and luxurious office chairs available to everyone. That means unparalleled comfort and exceptional customization, so you can work, play or create better for longer.
Take the Sync6 Core for example. It features both synchronous and forward tilt for perfect comfort, a multi-angle locking system, four levels of backrest adjustment and a wide range of seat adjustments – not just up and down, but also forward and backward.
Synchronous tilting is a very big problem because it means that the backrest and seat move independently of each other. So when you lean back, the backrest tilts further back than the seat cushion. A synchro tilt chair allows you to move more, reduce pressure on your joints and muscles and keep your feet on the ground even when leaning back – so it also helps reduce physical strain and fatigue. That’s why you’ll find it in the most expensive office chairs – and with a ThunderX3 chair you get exactly the same setup without the sky-high price.
The most comfortable gaming chair you will ever sit in
As if that weren’t enough, the CORE offers the most ergonomic seating experience possible thanks to CORE.RDY technology, a lumbar support that automatically adjusts to your posture in every direction and is usually only available in very expensive operator chairs. Combined with the SYNC6 system, it offers six-way adjustability to fit your body perfectly – and that means comfort you simply can’t get from other gaming chairs. Rivals use lumbar supports, which are quite basic and don’t provide the micro-adjustment that ensures consistent support and exceptional comfort.
There are two other important features here, and these too are normally reserved for the most expensive premium office chairs: forward tilt and adjustable seat depth. The former keeps your legs under your hips when you sit upright, which is much more comfortable for longer gaming sessions, and the adjustable seat depth ensures you get the perfect weight distribution during your gaming sessions. And thanks to the padded, cushioned armrests, your arms won’t feel tired either.
Excellent support from head to toe
ThunderX3 hasn’t forgotten your head or your toes. The winged memory foam pillow is designed to keep your head and neck comfortable and reduce neck strain, while the multi-functional under-desk footrest can help stimulate blood circulation and prevent your feet from dangling. Very cleverly, you can also use the footrest on your lap to support your wrists when you are gaming with a controller.
While comfort is of course the most important thing here, it helps if your gaming chair also looks good – and that includes the ThunderX3 CORE. Form follows function, resulting in a chair that is both beautiful to look at and comfortable to play in.
The price is correct
We know what you’re thinking: these chairs will clearly carry the price tag that high-end GPUs went for during the major graphics card shortage. No: Despite being made with high-quality materials and advanced ergonomic technology, the ThunderX3 range starts at just $399. That means it might be the best gaming-related purchase you’ll ever make.
