A special cutout in the seat allows you to pee into the bottle without having to get up from the computer. Now everyone can spend even more time in the verse.
I’ll admit, I thought about getting one, but the ~$1,000 price tag is a complete nonstarter for me. Oh well, I’ve still got a perfectly good office chair.
Yeah, it does look cool. But 1500 gets you an actual simpit to put next to a decent ergo chair. Niche product with some flash branding. Doesn't feel like great value but their stuff is quality at least & it's got some features you aren't getting out the box elsewhere. It's not for me but I don't think it's egregious either.
Either these youtubers are full of it about not being paid for these ad's, or they're shilling for free. With Saltemike I think it's a case of being sent a free chair a month ago, but with others I dunno.
@@LuminairPrime Compared to the non-branded models from the same manufacturers? Compared to competitors? Compared to comfort/price analysis? Take your pick.
900$ for a piece of plywood and some memory foam. Had one of those "gaming chairs" Never ever again, bought an ergonomic office chair and have no regrets at all.
I stopped trying gaming chairs . I never had one that the comfort matched the price . They were mostly disappointing. Nothing seems to compare to a mesh ergo style office chair . The first company to make a meshed ergo with mount options will win the chair wars
If you're looking into spending 4 digits for a chair, I'd really recommend checking out high end office chairs like HM or Haworth. I got an Embody on sale and it solved a lot of the body pains I've had from previous "gaming" chairs.
If you buy the non-CIG affiliate version of the exact same chair from the exact same company, it's about 300 bucks cheaper. Anybody spending money on SC could probably stand to save 300 bucks. You can also get a real leather office/gaming chair for around 500/600 bucks.
I would say SC has more than a few sim enthusiasts, but the vast majority of SC fans have not. This is just another chair, with corporate backing and shiny logo's designed to appeal to those with lots of money. I paid about £200 for my ergonomic chair, and it's very comfortable, alas it has no fancy logos' 😉😉
I like the theme they did for RSI as it is my second favorite manufacturer, but wondering what they will do for Origin personally as it is my favorite. Will probably end up with one of them in a MTSIM rig I am building as my next gaming desk with swap-able big desk for other keyboard and mouse games. Current gaming/office chair is the DXRacer Boss XL that they no longer make. It on sale was $600, but many office chairs go into the multi-thousand dollar range.
A little more and I have a Herman Miller with a 12 year warranty…hard pass on this. Oh wait, I have the Herman Miller Aeron already. Edit. I just love commenting from an iPhone and having “Miller” turned into “Milker”.
The chair’s armrests are really painful, they dig into your arms when using the flight sticks properly attached and adjusted. The chair caused me months of pain and several medical bills with pain similar to tennis elbow until a doctor figured it out and told me to quit using the chair. I have two other friends in the SC community that have suffered identical medical issues associated with this chair; I do not recommend it
I bought some chairmounts from Monstertech about two months ago for my DX Racer chair. The mounts are not cheap, but they are super stable. I also have a mouse mat and keyboard tray now attached my chair. It really helps with immersion.
Eh, for a "gaming" chair it's probably fine (and they look really cool), but at this price point I'd 100% get the Herman Miller Embody or Aeron chairs when they go on sale.
In a world where people spend $4000 real dollars on an internet space ship, something like this makes total sense 😂 In all seriousness though, if you sit for more than an hour a day doing anything, a good chair can make a huge difference for those of us over 25, or significantly older like myself.
A quick review that easy to understand I like the video format. The product I see the appeal I'd consider one perhaps if my current chair needed replacing.
You did great. Very clear and it was nice to see that you chose a specific use case. I am intending on the getting the Anvil chair with the mounts for center stick, right mouse+control panel extention, and left throttle. Monster tech is very durable and I think it'll be great alternative to my Herman Miller Embody chair. For one I like that it's tall and slim, the locking casters and central strut are a must. I just wish they would put the new chairs in the cockpit configurator.
Wish they had an option to not have the cutout in the chair. I get why it's there but I don't use a center flight stick. $1k price tag is a bit too much for me, but cool to see, they are nice looking.
Great Review Salty just funny they gave everyone the same forced talking points to get the free chair. Good review Loved the close ups of it and your personal touch.
Not sure if I will get one of the SC chairs, but I am planning on getting one of their non SC chairs because of the range of motion they allow for when using sticks.
How many degrees can it recline? is the recline like other gaming chaIrs? can you set it to lets say 40/50 degreees and leave it there? ( I want to be able to take naps in it thats why I'm asking)
My neighbor deals in chairs, gave us a couple overstock $1k+ office chairs during lockdown. Good gravy is there a world of difference between high end chairs and crap. Would I spend it myself though...
I try not to interfere with affiliate material. People gotta eat. Yet, I did chuckle at the part going over the chair's features. It leans back. It swivels. The chairs aren't for me, but if people have the money and want to buy it, then drop coin and go get it. This is Star Citizen.
I have a $2500 chair at work and a $150 gaming chair at home. I can't tell a big difference. So 1k for a chair that probably end up like what I have already....
@LuminairPrime nope. I always mount my stuff to my rig. Mike was speaking in terms of it as a chair. The "lockable wheels" are a $100 upgrade too which is nuts.
I like SecretLabs chairs better. I tried an earlier chair of MonsterTech the seat broke down too quick for me. No I am not over 300 lbs. Thanks for the update.
As a person who’s been sitting in the same $150 office chair for 5 years, I am very interested in a new and much better sitting experience, and I might actually be enticed into one of these, so I’ll be watching to see how it goes.
Nearly $1700 plus shipping nah, nice chair looks comfy but I can buy entire lounge suites for that (not to mention 7 sim chairs locally)... No single chair is worth that much!
No chair enthusiast would really consider this chair for the price point… but everyone can spend or misspend their money however they like. There are a couple of good chair reviewers on YT that can give good recommendations for this price point or less.
Being in a hot climate myself (Texas), have you ever tried the wool top version of the seat? I’m currently using a secret labs chair and the “synthetic leather” is being destroyed by my cats and by my butt. Also it’s hot to sit in. Thought maybe the wool would survive longer.
They already look Origin, so I could see that coming next... but I would hope that it's black with white trim. A white gaming chair sounds like a nightmare to keep clean. 🤣 As to the video, it was well-done, and you two were cute presenting it together. But now I kind of want a react video of her watching your Manscaping promotional bits.
would be funny to me if Star Citizen started having real world ads in game and in the mobi glass. And then see Salte rant about the ad noise and extra SC revenue with no progress.
I think it's fine to have chairs like this available. For some people it will be exactly what they are looking for and within their price range, so why not. That said, I won't be buying one. But maybe CIG can sell embroidered patches the rest of us can stick onto whatever chair we prefer.

Chair will be worn out and SC will still be alpha. LMFAO!
1000 is just insane. could see it possibly if it came with the chair mounts included. Add chair mounts and your at like 1500? crazy
Yeah, it does look cool. But 1500 gets you an actual simpit to put next to a decent ergo chair.

Those prices are insane. A thousand bucks for fake leather!? Add a hundred bucks for casters with brakes!? Yea, that's gonna be a hard pass.
Cheaper than a ship you can't fly yet - so there is that. But yep way above what I would pay for a chair.

You can easily get a top notch office chair for $200 if not even cheaper.

Had one of those "gaming chairs" Never ever again, bought an ergonomic office chair and have no regrets at all.
The fact that it is 1K and not even real leather is wild to me.
I’ll admit. I shook my head at this one
Dude i sit on a basic 4 legged wood chair with a cushion in the base and back. I think it was like 30$
If you think about it. This is a $700 "ship" with a $200 "paint"
Mike punching chairs and jared talking about it has lead us to this moment.
Correction, this moment is why all of that happened in the first place.

Loving the look, but not the price. Would LOVE a Drake version, it would fit the aesthetic of having cables running everywhere.
For that price, the gap in the middle of the seat cushion better be for an included "happy ending" feature.

Honestly for that much you should consider something like a steelcase instead
I'd expect the chair to have a foot mount or joystick holders for that price. It's way beyond overpriced.
How about the ARMRESTS? Do They break like in all other "gaming chairs"?
I have absolutely beat the shit out of the old chairs rests. Still good.
I'd love to see an Origin chair, but that price tag is downright painful and will be a huge barrier for most.
LOL it will cost even more if it’s Origin.
When Star Citizen fans are telling you your price point is ridiculous, you know you missed the mark. $900 before even adding any mounts is criminal.

pretty good, it is NOT hot which is suprising, but I do think a general office chair is probably best if you are going to just be using it as a chair.
