00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:10.000
welcome back to another ShortCircuit chair unboxing today we're talking about

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:13.759
razer's new anki chair which they're releasing to join the ranks of the isker

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

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.080
chair well this one is kind of designed for everybody in

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

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.400
still be comfortable so that's kind of the market that they're targeting also

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

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:39.920
actually going to be i believe 299 dollars whereas the anki is 3.99 i

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.239
always love these warning labels i need to surf the chair who would do that do

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.120
not touch the backrest recline lever while installing or removing the

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:51.199
backrest glad we're reading the instructions here is this for us or just

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.879
for everybody that gets these chairs builders gauntlets i got the builders

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.239
gauntlets everybody protect your razer gear today get a piece of mind with a

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:02.559
razor protection plan so this chair comes with a three-year warranty and the

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:06.720
instructions are right here this is already looking a lot different than the

00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:10.000
isker even at this point bottom

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:15.439
i feel so cool with these gloves man memory foam headrest pillow this one's

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.799
shaped a little differently that's a bunch of accessories

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.520
i mean one thing about doing all these chair ShortCircuit videos is i'm

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

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:30.000
just gonna open it up here oh boy is that razor stickers talks about the

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.040
three-year warranty i can't open it with these gauntlets

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

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

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

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

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.840
but not leastly chunker i like it we're gonna start by

00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:59.200
attaching the base to the back rest of the chair it's exciting stuff this is

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.719
content so these screws are just pre-installed just need to take them out

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

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

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.120
my favorite lttstore.com water bottle user error

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

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.080
screws at once bad idea i take back everything i said about me being good at

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:23.200
building chairs i do like the included tool pretty standard practice though

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

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:31.040
in and put the screw in

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

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

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

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

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:51.840
whole chair itself is a steel frame construction and then i believe this is

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:55.760
an aluminum base we're just going to put the casters on

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

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.280
just weak david there you go expect me to go deeper than

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.879
that is that not in i don't know who would have thought the casters would

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

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:12.640
the wheels in about the same spot and just hope for the best

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:18.159
all right that feels about right that feels good to me pretty straightforward

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.480
boom very standard on these types of chairs

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

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.879
take it for a ride right after a word from

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:32.560

code Linus tech tips to get 10 off i have one last thing i need to do before

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.599
we sit in this chair brandon the sticker actually this is almost like it was

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

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

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

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

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:23.680
sloped arch at your shoulder height or what would be your shoulder height if

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

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.280
seat base is it's supposed to kind of centralize your weight so just even your

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.560
weight distribution across the entire chair another interesting thing that you

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

00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:46.720
pretty stiff but that's good because i feel like my back is actually being held

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.840
and properly supported while the base is actually

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.759
relatively comfy like it's cushy you can even see that the base is thicker

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.720
because they put more kind of cushion and padding on the base to support you i

00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.240
weigh about 157 pounds razer says this chair is supported for people up to 300

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

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:10.160
and kind of release a separate variant for different frames and different uh

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

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

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.360
500 so one of the biggest differences between the anki and the isker from the

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:32.080
moment that i first saw this chair is the lumbar support system if you

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:37.120
remember the isker had a really unique way of dealing with adjusting lumbar and

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:41.199
turning knobs stuff to just the kind of different feel on your back but this is

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:45.840
all built in which i assume is probably for cost savings but it's respectable

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.440
and it does well for a chair of this price point so i think i mentioned

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:53.680
earlier that there is going to be the anki and the anki x differences between

00:05:52.240 --> 00:06:00.080
those two are that the anki x does not come with this

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:05.039
head pillow the anki x also doesn't have four dimensional armrest adjustability

00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:09.440
like the regular anki that we have here does and the last big difference between

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

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:22.319
here has your 152 degree tilt has a frog system which

00:06:20.479 --> 00:06:27.039
like a frog you know while the anki x has a traditional

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

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:37.360
quartz and black i believe i mean it's a razer gaming chair designed for everyday

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

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

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:49.199
jeff bought the razer esker chair that we unboxed

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:53.840
before take this one for a ride yeah get it adjusted get it dialed in

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:58.560
play some uh counter strike good old counter strike the uh the lumbar is

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

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

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:10.800
feel it feels good it feels almost exactly the same as how i usually have

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.240
the razor escape set up at home it's not like too too

00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:17.440
pressed up against my lower spine the neck feels kind of nice though you like

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

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

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

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:32.960
which i could see actually being kind of nice rather than just having this like

00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:37.120
giant thing jamming into the back of your head how does the bass feel how do

00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:41.680
you feel sitting on it does it feel pretty comfy i feel this works do the

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

00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:50.000
is the back is actually supposed to be a little bit more stiff where the base

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.000
actually has more cushion it's supposed to kind of just more evenly distribute

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

00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:01.759
these things especially when you only sat on it for like five seconds

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:06.160
yeah cool whoa bud i thought you were gonna fall

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:06.160
for a second

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:12.960
david you're next bud what do you think it's not ugly i would

00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:12.960
definitely get rid

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:22.000
yo this is supposed to this is supposed to provide better back support okay

00:08:20.479 --> 00:08:25.199
that looks good the quilted stuff looks good this chair retails for 3.99 and

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:29.039
there's another variant that's pretty similar that's 2.99

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

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:38.719
okay for a chair that's cheap i like i like being able to go back

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

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.320
yeah i have like my feet up the cushion is kind of

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

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:53.279
actually really impressed at how much control you have over the placement of

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:57.440
the armrest for a cheap chair this is like actually pretty cool it's an okay

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

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

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

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:14.320
price category if you're looking at other chairs included i don't think it's

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:18.080
anything super fantastic the esker was so exciting because it was the first

00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:21.120
chair from razer had its custom lumbar support system but i honestly think

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
