come to watch my video have you so we've covered gaming chairs before well
actually we've only covered One gaming chair before unless you count this sorry
excuse for a video and the message from you guys was definitely clear we want
more coverage of gaming chair so here we are with our coverage of the DX racer F
series a smaller gaming chair for well
smaller
people ensure Swift Victory with Corsair's highly responsive lightweight
gaming mouse the saber RGB click now to learn
more a piece of furniture is always going to start with the packaging and
assembly experience isn't it the chair arrived well padded with closed cell
foam and no visible damage after having been shipped once to my shipping
location in the US and then again to me in Canada very nice and the manual is
small but clearly Illustrated and translated into nine different languages
a reflection of dxr 's Global presence with shipping distribution centers and
localized websites all over the world it
only took me about 15 minutes to put the chair together not including the time
that I spent fidgeting about with the camera and while it confused me for a
couple of seconds when the only baggie of Hardware I could find contained an
allen key and a single set of Bolt washer and lock washer when I figured
out it was just a spare and the others were pre-installed in the holes where
they're ultimately going to end up I was like yeah nice touch like that it means
no guess work and the lock wash and regular washer orientation and bolt
locations are all preconfigured for you finishing touches were a piece of cake
snap on the plastic guards for the back rest supports put the little orange
accents on the aluminum base that's that's actually apparently been tested
to support up to a ton even though the chair itself suggest a maximum load of
265 lbs just watch the orientation it's
thick end to the outside so your foot rests on it a little easier then slip
the optional head pillow over the top and thread through the clips for the
height adjustable lumbar support and you're ready to rock
and if the point of buying this chair was feeling ready to rock then I guess
you couldn't have done much better I went with the black and orange color
scheme because I thought it looked very Linus Tech Tipsy but it's actually
available in a variety of different styles all of which look extremely sharp
around the tubular steel frame that includes a lifetime warranty if you're
ever worried you might actually break the frame of a chair you'll find a high
density cold cure foam wrapped in a polyurethane covering which has a
somewhat leathery feel to it but is waterproof the DX racer logo at the top
is embroidered digitally and my bald friends will be happy to hear this if
you opt to leave the head cushion off and lean back in the chair you'll be
pleased to know that thex Racers used a nice soft thread for the stitching so it
won't chafe and I guess soft is a good
transition word for this next bit compared to the last gaming chair that I
checked out the foam in the DX racer F series is noticeably softer making it
hug my butt and give way to my back a little bit more as I sit in it for my
personal tastes this would be good if my usual sitting position was a little less
upright and more slouchy because the angle of the foam where the backing
meets the bottom seems to lend itself to a more reclined posture that has your
butt further forward on the cushion with the back kind of spooning your curved
spine this is reinforced by the presence of a wire in the bottom of the seat that
can be actually easily felt through the if you scoot too far back when you're
sitting straight up right I hoped the lumbar cushion would help with this even
though generally I prefer not to use them and even though I found it does a
good job of staying in position it was a bit too thick to be practical for me but
normal and upright isn't the only way the F series can be used the chair has
most of the usual adjustments height adjust is handled by the gas lift lever
on the side and goes much higher and much lower than I would ever want as a
5' 6 in bloke and you can also use this lever if you want to lock The Rock
functionality just by pushing it in Rocking tension can be adjusted with
this knob from the from difficult to push back to pretty easy to push back
and the contoured armrests are nicely shaped for your forearms and are height
adjustable to nine different positions with ergonomic release and lock buttons
positioned underneath the side of each of them finally the chair can be safely
reclined with over 20 usable positions
so far back that you can basically lie flat in it DX racer also points out that
you can actually use the 12° rock even
if the chair is lying flat but I don't know if I'd recommend it it's not that
you'll actually fall over it's just that your head will be lower than your feet
which leads us to the conclusion this chair is not directly comparable to the
last one I reviewed because it's designed for use by someone with a much
smaller frame but instead of having thex racer send me their M series something
that would be more equivalent I asked for the fs series hoping it would be the
final answer to the question of which gaming chair is for me
unfortunately I don't think this is it it's definitely a personal preference
thing but I think a More Level butt cushion design with firmer foam but the
same size as an f-s series would be grand if I could find such a thing so my
quest for the perfect office SL gaming chair is not over yet but let me know
what you guys think do you prefer a more
relaxed sitting position or a more upright one I mean did all the things
that I complained about sound just dandy to you let me know in the comments below
and also let me know if you want to see more chair videos speaking of more
videos without sponsors like our friends at Mass drop we'd have a hard time
making them now wouldn't we today's featured drop is the varmo va87m a
pretty darn cool 10 keyless mechanical keyboard it features a solid metal
body like actually made of metal with a
cool artistic design of your choice Cherry MX switches and either D
sublimated top printed or laser etched
front printed PBT key caps they did not skimp on the materials for this keyboard
and it's pretty top-notch stuff from a relatively small keyboard maker now I
guess right off the top of this spot we kind of assume that everyone knows what
Mast drop is but if you don't there're a site that facilitates group buys
ensuring that you can get great deals on stuff like new tech clothes tools and
heck even te if you're into that sort of thing items are nominated and then
selected by the mass drop community and then Mass drop Works directly with the
manufacturers and Distributors to find a starting price a lowest price and a
bunch of price in between that for each product and then each lower price gets
unlocked as a certain number of people commit to buy the aforementioned product
there's a referral Link in the video description that leads to the drop for this fillo keyboard that does not give
us a commission but does let Mass drop know that we sent you so head on over
there to get the full details on the pricing and duration of this drop and be
sure to take a look at around on massdrop.com and see if there's anything
else that piques your interest guys
