There are hundreds, maybe even THOUSANDS of gaming chairs out there. But the Cougar Terminator doesn't look like your average gaming chair. Does it live up to its claims of having excellent ergonomics with a unique design?

Throwing away the instruction manual and then needing it 5 more times after is the most accurate thing I've seen on this channel.
Usually how it goes yeah

From a man who has been fired unlimited times but still seems needed for work, it only makes sense.
Cahn's axiom.
Its surprising how not a single gaming chair out there has bothered to try and make the chair ergonomics or adjustable in any way. They're all just bucket seats with a different skin for outrageous prices. Dont bother with this and get an ergonomic chair instead. They may not look as gamer-y but you'll actually be comfortable in them.
HM or Steelcase are the way. [especially second-hand]
Seriously... My refurbished Steelcase Leap is amazing and costs like $440 with tons of adjustability. Who would spend $800 for this junk that's uncomfortable for everyone but maybe the 1% of bodies who match the designers? You can easily get Aerons for less than $800. Other than rich teenage boys who find the spine thing cool and don't have aching joints yet, lol, who's their market?
Gamers Nexus did a nice video on the gaming chair market a while back. This chair and other just keep confirming that video xD
Honestly, overpriced crap that won't even last that long when it's already broken when it arrives lol haha
lol you can see it rocking in the "locked" position for 8-900 that is silly
They just slap racing seats on everything and the problem with racing seats is the have to properly conform to your body to be mildly comfortable but there designed to prevent injury Incase a car rolls over....not comfort
For that price i'd at least want the spine to be functional. It was the perfect opportunity to have a fully adjustable chair where the sections could be individually adjusted using joints in the spine.
I know, that's what I thought it was able to do at first glance, what a let down.
For that price, it better adjust your spine as well.
I am halfway through the video, I thought that was the whole point of this thing...
Whos to say that it doesn't, I mean the one guy complained about the upper pillow and they both mentioned the hole in the back. Soooo why not remove the upper pillow and put the cover back in the back? I need to see a real in depth review with someone who can put it together and try all the features. Just a thought.
When your new ergonomic chair needs lumbar pillows - you probably missed something in R&D.
Pretty sure minimal R&D is ever done on these chairs. It's all marketing bs and slapping cheap plastic on the outside to make it look fancier.
Let's spend years and hours of CAD and design work making a sick looking chair!...O, we want pillows...just janky strap them on.
What??? Two doses of Colton doing chair reviews IN ONE WEEK??? I feel special 😂
Fr
We share a body type, his reviews are relevant to my interests.
Only because the other guy cut his hand open unboxing the previous chair. This gnome guy had to stand in.
Ikr, it’s crazy they’re letting a guy who doesn’t work for LMG have so much screen time on an LMG channel
For $800 USD, the pillows should be magnetic.
the whole chair should magnetically float my fatass for that price lol
Slap Gaming and immediately increase the price by 600$. 250$ max
for 800 i'm gonna invent magic and float myself
For 800 dollars it should come with a 4070 as well.
Thanks for a straight up unbiased take on the chair . This kind of review goes a long way in my book
Magnetic pillow should definitely become a standard in these high price chairs.
Chairs that don't require the stupid pillows should be standard!
high price chairs shouldn't even need tacky pillows to feel comfortable imo
"Good friend!" Bell- "Co-worker" :(
Ergonomic chair had already been made and perfected. All gaming chair can add is aesthetic, and man that went out fast in a few years.
Just buy a well known ergonomic chair. Your ass and spine well thank you for years to come.
big and tall executive office chairs works great too
@@mafiahalo93 not really, they are not ergonomic and usually made of wood and leather just for good looks
@@mafiahalo93 It depends. In my workplace, the office chairs are not from some famous brands, but I can recognize the elements it "borrow" from Aeron chair. More precisely speaking, a copy of Aeron chair with cost down mechanism.
In that case, Yes, office chair may be the best choice. Because it has all the wheels ergonomic chair already invented. But many office chair are just as bad as gaming chair in ergonomics.
The same principle may apply on gaming chair, but somehow gaming chair refused to adopt those design.
@@jyunnheikusada7003 well if you have an office depot store or staple office store near you they have those kind of chairs on display and you can test them out and sit in them to see how it fits and what not or just give it a try and I'm not gonna lie i have fallen asleep in it a few times and woke up the next morning still in the chair wondering how the hell i got here LOL.
plus the chair i mention comes with a 10 year warranty and can support up to 400LB though i weight around 320-330LB which is kinda close to a lot of gaming chair max weight which is around 300LB to 350LB
I do love that spine design. Dope. That being said: 800 bucks is insane. And that chair is waaaaay to bulky. There's no way I'd sacrifice that much room space just for a chair. But I do like that spine. A lot.
Can we get some reviews of desk exercise equipment?
I spent $400 10 years ago on a la-z-boy executive chair from staples which has been the most comfortable chair I have ever had, and despite weighing over 250 myself I have never had issues with the piston going flat or the cushions wearing out. It's made of steel and wood, and will probably still be perfectly serviceable long after I am gone. I can't see paying $800 for this thing unless you are REALLY into the aesthetic.
I really like this new sub series of Colton assembling furniture 😂
I‘ve beens seeing this being advertised a lot at the EMEA Valorant Lan matches early this year, nice to see whether this chair is good
Any chair that looks like a car bucket seat will distort your back. You don't need support against G-forces. Your back needs to rest on a pole and have a great lumbar support, preferably build-in inflating cushion. Therapia and other manufacturers make chairs like that. Herman-Miller is another good brand to buy from.
Glad to see that Colton is hired back again! LTT had to admit that no one does it but him when it comes to chair reviews~
Who's better at sitting than Colton?
@@Dranzell Unemployed-Colton?
@@mikoolo1698 😂 😂
Colton been killing it in these assembly videos.
If you're looking for a good "gaming" chair that's actually worth it and comfortable get an AndaSeat Kaiser 3. Usually on sale for $450 US. It has 4D armrests, magnetic cooling gel neck pillow, big cushion seat that is comfortable and slightly firm, and actual built in lumbar support. Two knobs for lumbar height and depth along with cloth or leather chair options. Also it's almost $300 dollars less than this cougar terminator. If you don't have the money for the $1200 office ergo chairs then the Kaiser 3 is the one to buy. It's got plenty of leg room for me to sit with my legs crossed on the seat or to lean and lounge in for comfort. I'm 6'0" tall 215 lbs and it's been great. If you're 5'10" or above then get the XL version of the chair. The only real difference is the gas cylinder height range. I've tried the secretlabs titan chair and while the lumbar support on that one is better the chair is an awful rock that made my butt go numb faster than a cement bench. Returned it in a week. The RS gaming devanti chair from office max is a close second for me but will need some kind of cushion for the back. Anyway I hope this helps someone so they don't mistakenly buy this $800 dollar piece of crap.
The "FU!" on the sequin cushion is great hahha
YES, MORE colton please
Looks cool but I ain’t giving up my Herman miller embody G for a metal snek 😂
this chair looks so cool, I want to try it out before I buy it but from what I do see is that I wish the two segments could be independently adjusted like other ergonomic chairs
Gaming chair companies: "Let's think about the price we want first, and then how we're gonna build them comes later."
That sign off made me feel better! I ordered a Secret Lab chair about a week ago and since then you reviewed 2 gaming chairs 😂 So happy you'd recommend them over this one 😁
I hope you will love it, they sit great
I'm here looking at reviews for a new chair because my secret lab titan sucks. I've had it since 2021 and I can't take it anymore lol
It seems like they could have used that spine design to be able to adjust where the lower back, shoulders, and head rest sit in relation to the person sitting in it.
This chair was already around when I bought a chair the last time in 2021. Could be older than that as well, unless they've done some small "refresh" without changing the name or looks.
"Raise the bar for ergonomic support", uhh, where are the adjustments? Seat depth? Backrest heigh adjustment? Lumbar depth and height adjustment? Headrest adjustment? it doesn't even flex, its as stiff as my morning wood.
it looks more comfortable and uniquie than other gaming chairs imo
I have yet to find a single Cougar product worth spending any money on. This one being broken out of the box and truly form over function just cements my opinion.
I've been using a PC case from Cougar for a few years now. It was low cost at the time and has held up well.
They make really cool industrial looking PC cases
Yeah I've used their cheap PC cases before... and they were in fact a case that held my PC parts. lol
so i am a bigger guy (6'2 260) that has had cronic issues from a back injury when i was 16 and i bought a Hayworth Soji. Cost me about a thousand bucks because i did get all of the features and nicer material but i can sit comfortably for about 5 hours before i need to get up and stretch/move around. Just a heads up for those that are looking.
Oh yes my favorite person to see you sitting on his posterior speaking of chairs
Adding 10+ pounds of decorative vertebrae, while using cheap casters, flimsy covers on corners, and inadequate packaging, really shows their priorities: Plastic and pleather pillows.
You have a Sandevistan?!
If this chair is named after its functionality, I'm sold.
This man would not survive IKEA;)
This is the Month of Coulton. A revolution I never knew I needed untill now.
Until gaming chair companies actually focus on ergonomics first.
Just stay away from them completely.
Get a good proper office chair.
Also don't cheap out on a chair, get something you can see as an investment for your health.
It's cheaper in the long run, over having spinal issues and back pain later in life.
What model are the floor speakers by the TV?
I remember the Cougar ITX Case, it was great.
love watching Colton go full dad assembling furniture, reminds me that ltt people are not all perfectly handy and struggle with ikea furniture like the rest of us
what mtm speakers are in the back? they look cool
For 800$ chair adjustable lumbar support should be a standard and the head pillow should be magnetic. Please don't waste your money on this chair, there are a lot of waay better and more ergonomic options for this price.
Colton: "We got a tall person, now we're gonna need..."
Me: "A short person (Linus)¡"
Colton: "A gamer"
I love how the forward slanted shoulder padding forces you into an uncomfortable position.
This chair isn't for lumbar support, it IS the lumbar itself.
used herman miller aeron best chair. I thought I would hate it but I LOVE it.
The irony that my bespoke built herman miller verus would kick this things ass on a good day while costing half the price is not lost
I like the wide angle shots were Colton seems to be even smaller :D
I'd be ok with the bucket seat trend dying a flery death.
4:52 Colton holding normal size newspaper
Definatley channeling Lord Sidious sitting in that chair😂😂😂😂
I dont understand why anyone would spend 800 dollars on this over anything from herman miller or steelcase
The twisted strap around 5:45 drives me nuts.
I think it's more likely that David is the Cougar Terminator😂
Lol. David is gay! (Not that there’s anything wrong with that) I think if Luke was single made he’d be a cougar terminator lol
@@virtualfilmer Yeah, it was a joke, his sexual preference didn't really have anything to do with it.
This chair matches the aesthetics of an Acer Aspire Predator g7750/g7710 from ~2010.
Colton: I need Help fot this, ah my good friend!
Bell: I'm not ur friend... i am a Co-Worker!
😂
A comfortable chair which is useless for all the hobbits in my office is a feature not a flaw.
Cougar Terminator:
Getting the job done one Mid-40s Divorcee at a time
what are the floor standing speakers in this set?
Good question, I tried with screenshot and reverse image search but could not find anything.
I like how Colton is just the furniture guy now.
Does anyone know the make/model of the white oval speakers in the background?
what are those speakers in the background by the tv
What's the model of the white speakers?
love how it has a lumbar pillow when it's a freaking spinal design. what about just making that functional
This would be awesome if they had a pilot seat pan with a cut out for a flightstick.
I love how they already send two pillows with the chair because they know how uncomfortable it is.
Bell kept correcting Colton to call him a co-worker, but he is also wrong since Colton was fired he is not his co-worker anymore
wish they would put the armrests further back, so you can move all the way in to edge of table and use them as support for your underarm/elbows ^^
Are we blessed with 2 Colton videos this week??
What speakers are those?
Colton does make ShortCircuit enjoyable and funny.
I share the short-guy gaming life as well ... I kinda like my chair, but the desk is actually too high for me to set my chair to a height where I can also put my feet on the ground properly ... and when I don't, my knees start to hurt. I might opt for a foot-rest under the desk but for now I put my subwoofer under the desk as a foot-rest.
as someone who love cyberpunk aesthetics....i love the look of this chair and I would buy one...if I could afford it
The spine definitely look like a Crysis nanosuit
dang and to think I just built my new used gaming chair .. 2002 Buick Century pass seat, and old base :) gonna be the jankiest racing sim seat ever lol
Perfect example of form over function
what are those speakers in the background that look like portal turrets?
When he corrected him from calling him "friend" to actually be referred to "co-worker". It's almost as if nobody at LTT actually likes Colton 😂
Nah its because hes white.
My cougar is pretty comfortable too, especially when she's in a good mood :)
can you guys do some ergonomic chairs from steelcase? leap v2 or amia
"cougar terminator chair" is something you would hear in adult film
Cringy ahh botted likes generic commenter
Very honest review. Planning to get one and this helps me decide. I’m also 5’5 and this isn’t for me :)
Yeah, I don't see that chair being more comfortable than me current office chair.
That broken plastic cover flopping around like a wet noodle makes this something i would not even think of buying
Colton is the meme of the guy who looks at the instructions then throws them away, multiple times.
Imagine living alone and one of these chairs or another gaming chair shows up and its like "Requires 2 for assembly" like bro wtf
Ah the truth comes out! The real reason Linus never fired Colton; Colton is the only dude at LMG shorter than he is!
there is a reason office workers use office chairs :) We game for the same amount of time if not more sometimes. I made the move to a decent office chair years ago
Plot twist: that instructions sheet is actually a regular sized piece of paper
May I suggest testing chairs from car seat manufacturers who have been making some the past few years?
Cougar Terminator - When you hit the +30 bar
that piece of paper with the instructions is actually normal size. Colton is just that small
All I take awayfrom this video is that hoffman has the calves I can never hope to get
He looks like a tiny child holding normal sized instructions 😂
Cougar terminator?😂 That name is definitely a choice.
The spine looks like something out of the "transformers" thats why you like it.
Welp,I'm sold 👌 just bought a cheap 2nd hand Jasmine for the sake of shenanigans. I think I've discovered some worthy shenaniganry here.
Wish me luck doing this with none of the tools in the video lol 💪
Idk if I’m just noticing this now and it’s always been like this but I feel like the camera is a lot more shakey lately. It gives me almost a “Cloverfield” feeling. Has something changed?
