00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:10,000
welcome back to another ShortCircuit chair unboxing today we're talking about

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,759
razer's new anki chair which they're releasing to join the ranks of the isker

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,480
that they have people that are watching this video you're probably wondering why another chair why are they doing another

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:22,080
chair well this one is kind of designed for everybody in

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,160
mind right this is supposed to be a chair that you can sit in all day and

6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,400
still be comfortable so that's kind of the market that they're targeting also

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:35,360
they have two variants of this chair the anki and the anki x and the anki x is

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,920
actually going to be i believe 299 dollars whereas the anki is 3.99 i

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,239
always love these warning labels i need to surf the chair who would do that do

10
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,120
not touch the backrest recline lever while installing or removing the

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,199
backrest glad we're reading the instructions here is this for us or just

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,879
for everybody that gets these chairs builders gauntlets i got the builders

13
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:58,239
gauntlets everybody protect your razer gear today get a piece of mind with a

14
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:02,559
razor protection plan so this chair comes with a three-year warranty and the

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,720
instructions are right here this is already looking a lot different than the

16
00:01:04,479 --> 00:01:10,000
isker even at this point bottom

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,439
i feel so cool with these gloves man memory foam headrest pillow this one's

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,799
shaped a little differently that's a bunch of accessories

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,520
i mean one thing about doing all these chair ShortCircuit videos is i'm

20
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:26,080
starting to get like really good at building chairs this is where the instructions just go out the window i'm

21
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:30,000
just gonna open it up here oh boy is that razor stickers talks about the

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,040
three-year warranty i can't open it with these gauntlets

23
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:36,720
i will say with the accessories i do like the way that they've kind of laid everything out like everything's right

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:42,399
in front of you as far as i can tell which is cool so like a lot of chairs they've got uh 60 millimeter

25
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,759
pu casters for the bottom of your chair do i take the gloves off i feel like i

26
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:52,240
can't take the gloves off but it's so hard to open the plastic and lastly

27
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,840
but not leastly chunker i like it we're gonna start by

28
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,200
attaching the base to the back rest of the chair it's exciting stuff this is

29
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,719
content so these screws are just pre-installed just need to take them out

30
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,439
and actually put them on and we'll be good to go this is where i'm taking the

31
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,000
gloves off i can't take the gloves off i'm gonna get a little bit of water from

32
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,120
my favorite lttstore.com water bottle user error

33
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:16,959
what have i done i think i crossed rid of the screw i'm trying to do all of the

34
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,080
screws at once bad idea i take back everything i said about me being good at

35
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,200
building chairs i do like the included tool pretty standard practice though

36
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:28,319
there's a lot of chairs that come with these kinds of tools now it's time to put on these covers super easy slot that

37
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:31,040
in and put the screw in

38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,599
and these put a little cover on it you're good now we're gonna install the base screws are all pre-and screwed so

39
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,560
we're gonna take them out do not touch the mechanism when tilting i'm glad they have that there to reiterate that hey

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,680
there it is so razer's got instructions this goes towards the front that's awesome honestly there's probably a

41
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,640
better way i could do this but i'm just going to use my foot to brace it make sure all the screws are snug so the

42
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,840
whole chair itself is a steel frame construction and then i believe this is

43
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:55,760
an aluminum base we're just going to put the casters on

44
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,200
hello look i don't know if these things are just difficult to install or if i'm

45
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,280
just weak david there you go expect me to go deeper than

46
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,879
that is that not in i don't know who would have thought the casters would

47
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,200
cause us trouble yeah just put them in at this point we're just gonna put all

48
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:12,640
the wheels in about the same spot and just hope for the best

49
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,159
all right that feels about right that feels good to me pretty straightforward

50
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,480
boom very standard on these types of chairs

51
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,720
that's a chair now the chair is built all we got to do is just sit in it and

52
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,879
take it for a ride right after a word from

60
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,599
we sit in this chair brandon the sticker actually this is almost like it was

61
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:09,280
intended razer if you want to hire me to be a designer i i could apply take it for a ride here

62
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,000
oh yeah not bad there's a few cool things about this chair that i'd like to

63
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,639
point out right now now that i'm sitting in it first off is that it has a wider

64
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,280
seat base than it does for the back here and as you can tell it has this kind of

65
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:23,680
sloped arch at your shoulder height or what would be your shoulder height if

66
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:28,880
you're a little bit taller than me there we go or if i sat straight the idea behind this kind of arch and the wider

67
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:33,280
seat base is it's supposed to kind of centralize your weight so just even your

68
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:36,560
weight distribution across the entire chair another interesting thing that you

69
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,759
can't see on camera but i'm feeling right now is that the back is definitely

70
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:46,720
pretty stiff but that's good because i feel like my back is actually being held

71
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:49,840
and properly supported while the base is actually

72
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:53,759
relatively comfy like it's cushy you can even see that the base is thicker

73
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:58,720
because they put more kind of cushion and padding on the base to support you i

74
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,240
weigh about 157 pounds razer says this chair is supported for people up to 300

75
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,440
pounds and who knows if in the future they'll do what they did with the isker

76
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:10,160
and kind of release a separate variant for different frames and different uh

77
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,440
weights let me do the good old caster test hold on i'm gonna start over here

78
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,759
not bad not the best i've ever seen but this chair also costs you know less than

79
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:27,360
500 so one of the biggest differences between the anki and the isker from the

80
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:32,080
moment that i first saw this chair is the lumbar support system if you

81
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:37,120
remember the isker had a really unique way of dealing with adjusting lumbar and

82
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,199
turning knobs stuff to just the kind of different feel on your back but this is

83
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:45,840
all built in which i assume is probably for cost savings but it's respectable

84
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,440
and it does well for a chair of this price point so i think i mentioned

85
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:53,680
earlier that there is going to be the anki and the anki x differences between

86
00:05:52,240 --> 00:06:00,080
those two are that the anki x does not come with this

87
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:05,039
head pillow the anki x also doesn't have four dimensional armrest adjustability

88
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:09,440
like the regular anki that we have here does and the last big difference between

89
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:14,639
the anki and the anki x is the system for which it handles recline so the anki

90
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:22,319
here has your 152 degree tilt has a frog system which

91
00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:27,039
like a frog you know while the anki x has a traditional

92
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:33,520
butterfly system another notable thing about these chairs they come in different colors so they come in green

93
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:37,360
quartz and black i believe i mean it's a razer gaming chair designed for everyday

94
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,199
comfort so we need to game in the thing so we're actually going to bring a few

95
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,639
people on to do that we're bringing jeff to the table here and that's because

96
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:49,199
jeff bought the razer esker chair that we unboxed

97
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:53,840
before take this one for a ride yeah get it adjusted get it dialed in

98
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:58,560
play some uh counter strike good old counter strike the uh the lumbar is

99
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:02,880
there lumbar in it there is lumbar in it and there's no adjusting that's it that's it

100
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,639
how does this thing feel how's your back how's like your your posture how do you

101
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,800
feel it feels good it feels almost exactly the same as how i usually have

102
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,240
the razor escape set up at home it's not like too too

103
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,440
pressed up against my lower spine the neck feels kind of nice though you like

104
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:21,280
the neck pillow i like it more it's actually bigger than a lot of neck pillows which is

105
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:25,919
interesting i think i appreciate it i didn't actually think about that before but the different shape of the head

106
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:28,960
pillow and the way that it sits i mean it kind of rests on the top of your back

107
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,960
which i could see actually being kind of nice rather than just having this like

108
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:37,120
giant thing jamming into the back of your head how does the bass feel how do

109
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:41,680
you feel sitting on it does it feel pretty comfy i feel this works do the

110
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:46,560
same maybe it's a little stiffer on this guy here the idea behind the razer esker

111
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:50,000
is the back is actually supposed to be a little bit more stiff where the base

112
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,000
actually has more cushion it's supposed to kind of just more evenly distribute

113
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,680
your weight but coming from the isker like yeah it's going to be tough to tell

114
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:01,759
these things especially when you only sat on it for like five seconds

115
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,160
yeah cool whoa bud i thought you were gonna fall

116
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:06,160
for a second

117
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:12,960
david you're next bud what do you think it's not ugly i would

118
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960
definitely get rid

119
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:22,000
yo this is supposed to this is supposed to provide better back support okay

120
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:25,199
that looks good the quilted stuff looks good this chair retails for 3.99 and

121
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,039
there's another variant that's pretty similar that's 2.99

122
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,719
what do you have at home what do you sit on a home chair i have like a really cheap ergo chair the adjustability is

123
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:38,719
okay for a chair that's cheap i like i like being able to go back

124
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:43,360
uh especially if i'm playing more chill games i can kind of and kind of lounge

125
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,320
yeah i have like my feet up the cushion is kind of

126
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:49,760
not super there so if you want like a cushy chair this isn't great i'm

127
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,279
actually really impressed at how much control you have over the placement of

128
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,440
the armrest for a cheap chair this is like actually pretty cool it's an okay

129
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,720
chair i wouldn't buy it but yeah it's not bad but i wouldn't buy

130
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:05,360
a game should i buy an ergo chair anyway fair i'll give me that yeah give me that back look some people

131
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,600
some people like that that's it for the razer anki you know this chair for its

132
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:14,320
price category if you're looking at other chairs included i don't think it's

133
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:18,080
anything super fantastic the esker was so exciting because it was the first

134
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:21,120
chair from razer had its custom lumbar support system but i honestly think

135
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,760
razer's going to sell more of this chair anyway so yeah if you're interested check it out the link below you can
