I've got a 5-year-old DX Racer, can't remember the model but it was the biggest one they did at the time. After 5 years the chair is a total wreck, the tilt mechanism is shot, it clunks and creaks and won't lock into position, and the PU cover shedding like a sheepdog with alopecia.
I was almost ready to pull the trigger on a Noblechairs Icon, but then I noticed it has exactly the same crappy knee-tilt mechanism as the DX Racer. Looking at other "high end" brands of gaming chair it looks like they all use the same parts, the arms, tilt mechanisms etc. appear to be identical whether it's Noblechairs, Secretlab, Maxnomic etc.
Are there any gaming chairs that use a proper 2:1 synchro-tilt mechanism (other than the £1000+ Triigger)?
