I just ordered one of these earlier today. I like to sit cross=legged and it's hard to tell from pictures if a chair will be conducive to that but this one looks good.
To follow up on this, note that it is now May 2024 and most backers still haven't received anything other than misleading statements that some unspecified batch of chairs has been "shipped" (which apparently means put on a boat to some local distribution hubs, not out with a courier of any kind) and that no further info will be coming until the boat reaches your country (no updates on where the boat is or what countries are being served since mid-March, and it's not clear that what info they did give was true). And now the chair is appearing on Amazon as being available to buy, so now they get to double-dip and get paid twice for the same chairs.
Looks really nice, I have a SL Omega and was looking at this. I'm a dev and work from and these gaming race car chairs are definitely brutal for ergonomics. Only thing thats disappointing is shipping cost in the kickstarter as a Canadian is more than shipping to japan??
Hi Luke! Thank you for expressing interest in the NEWTRAL MagicH and sharing your concerns about the shipping cost to Canada. We understand that the shipping cost can be a significant factor when considering backing a project. In the case of shipping to Canada, there are additional considerations such as taxes over 20 CAD imposed by the Canadian government on imported goods. These taxes may increase the overall shipping cost. We strive to provide transparent and accurate information regarding shipping costs, and we apologize for any disappointment caused by the higher shipping cost to Canada compared to other regions. We want to assure you that we are actively working to minimize the shipping costs and explore options to provide the most affordable shipping rates to our Canadian backers.
Would you prefer this chair to the Secret Labs chair? I've had my SL chair for about 2 years now. I've had no complaints, but im open to trying something new.
Preference is super personal, what I will say is that the SL can get too firm at times and give me glute soreness, this chair is the total opposite, no butt pain, no back pain, it's SOFT in comparison to the Titan
This company is shady as hell, and you should consider making a follow up video since they took kickstarter money and changed the product. The final pro version of this chair will no longer come with extended armrests. They have refused to give an official update to kickstarter backers about the modification, and have only mentioned it in comments when people complained. They've also decided to sell the first batch of chairs on amazon for Black Friday instead of shipping paid-for chairs to kickstarter backers. You should reconsider doing business with this company in the future.
So sorry to hear about this, I'm not affiliated with the company I just did a review based on the chair they sent me. I see the comments on Kickstarter and it's because of things like this I'm going to be super selective about what companies I do reviews for from now on.
Do not buy this chair, it is a fraud, a scam. I paid for it 2 months ago and I still haven't seen any chair. I have read on forums that they will now ask me for an extra 200€ for shipping, it's a scam. I think I have lost all my money.

Not sponsored? They are using this video as an ad on Instagram..
Thanks for the thorough review. Appreciate the Secret Lab comparison.

I tend to sit cross legged as well. How is it holding up and is it comfortable?

So sorry to hear this but thanks for posting it here to keep others updated.
I unfortunately missed it, but would love to have one. Is there gonna be another batch?
Does the head rest only work in bouncey mode, or can you somehow fix it at a particular horizontal position?
You can set it in a fixed position
hi man, thank you for the review , i have a question, i am 1.89cm does it fit to me? thank you in advance.
Aesthetically looks great but the build quality looks so cheap and plasticy
Agreed. I think if they came out with a higher quality premium version I would get one
My piston does not extend when I pull and release it while rising my weight to allow it to rise. Suggestions?

When its available Im swapping my big SL for a Newtral.
It seems wayy better
@@mitchellsmart8357 Check the link I put in the description, hopefully Newtral will see this and chime in
@@JacobDarkOfficial Thanks Jacob
Hopefully it Ships to Aus. : - )
@@mitchellsmart8357 did you ever get one? i have a SL titan and looking for something new
Hi Jacob, How does this compare to the Hinomi H1 Pro? Which one do you like more?
I haven't tried the Hinomi so I can't really compare but I did find this chair to be comfortable.
lumbar on the Hinomi is brutally pronounced. I am returning it and getting this one
Hi. Beautiful video.
I have a question: Can the wheels of the chair be locked?
They cannot. You could probably find some universal lockable wheels and pop them on.
@@JacobDarkOfficial Thank you very much
What regions will this be available for shipping?
That would be a question for Newtral, perhaps they'll see this video and chime in or try to find a good contact number/email for them
Will this actually be launched you reckon? $229 sounds so cheap for the launch price
Not sure on that, hoping Newtral will answer questions in this comment section
@@JacobDarkOfficial c'mon newtral let us know. I would actually make a great review of this chair for $229
Launching 6/8/23 at 10:00 AM ET. I just received the launch email.
Kickstarter is active. That version is 299. Msrp is around 550 afterwards
@@TheStew Now it's november, oof
Would you feel comfortable playing guitar while sitting on it?
Hard to say since I've never played, the only con I could see is if the armrests get in the way but then can be lowered
@@JacobDarkOfficialAs a guitarist, that is my main concern for this dream chair. I'm this close to buy it 🤏
Just don't install the arm rests or remove them. Seems easy enough.
@@King_Of_Spectres But i'll need them when not playing guitar. Nevermind, I'll find another chair :)
@@LaPlanquedeBeckyandCloud I suggest you the Hinomi H1 Pro. It gives you the chance to rise the armrests.
Can you comment on this compared to the hinomi seems pretty similar.
I haven't tried the Hinomi but it's basically this chair without the auto follow backrest and headrest, if they were the same price I'd pick this one
Alao is there a weight restriction on this chair?
300 lbs
Hi James! The maximum load for the chair is 300 lbs under BIFMA standard testing!
@@newtralchair6147 thank you for your speedy response

Where can I buy this?
Check the description!
The drink holder is useless, btw. And mine has the shortest armrests! *Grumble*
Sorry about the issues, Grumble made me laugh
Spon sored😂

What is the name of these forums?
It's not a scam, you Backed the start up. You'll get it in October in phase 1 release. Pay attention to what you're doing and you'd know this.
Mine finally arrived. Happy now,
