Hi

Anybody own a ThunderX3 chair? Looks good at a competitive price. Just want to know how comfortable it is considering how hard a lot of these chairs are.

Thanks
Gwyn

The ThunderX3 Core is pretty new to the market, but they have sold extremely well and have been reviewed well too.


I've sat in one personally and I find it a lot softer, I prefer the cloth version of the chair. I hear on the grapevine they have a black cloth chair coming out end of February if you didn't want the light grey, but I love the light grey, it looks super nice. :)

Hmm first time I’ve seen this chair, the adjustable seat depth is a huge welcome addition to this type and would surely put it ahead of all other ‘gaming’ chairs when coupled with the other features.
Great price too

interesting chair, never knew it even existed till now.

The sync-tilt mechanisms is really what separates more high end ergonomic office chairs and these cheaper gaming chairs. I think the only other chairs is asus new gaming chair that does this. Also this has a adjustable seat depth which is also
a feature of more expensive office chairs. I don't fancy the headrest system and the back support looks interesting but really would need it tested to see if its not a gimmick. But I suspect over the next few years gaming chairs will catchup with premium office chairs in terms of features and possibly price too.

I'm really liking the look of this chair thanks for posting. I currently have the Secretlabs titan Evo which is a very similar design and before that the Noblechairs Hero. The Hero was very hard hard on the bum and the Titan on a similar par but this one looks like it's got a softer seat pad. I wish I could try one out, but I guess I could buy from Overclockers and return if it's not good.

Ive had my eye on this chair for a while, thinking it will be a huge update to my £50 amazon chair i got a few years ago, but the only thing stopping me from going through with it, is the fact my cat is going through a faze of clawing at the back of my chair to get attention, and would quite easily ruin this chair.

Has anyone bought one yet? I've reading mixed reviews about the lack of seat padding and the lumbar support to be uncomfortable. All the reviews are sponsored so it's impossible to tell if this is actually any good or not.

i have not purchased one but i do believe these are part of aerocool (which i have owned). Aerocool do make some good gaming chairs but not easy to find in the uk and not cheap. These may well be an eu version of aerocool chairs at a better price.

Considering one of these, struggling with finding a home gaming/office chair at an affordable price. Can't quite make my mind up, though.

Keep reading mixed reviews about pretty much every chair I look at!

I'm having the same issue finding a decent chair. Already tried a few including the Kaiser 3 Fabric, and the Noblechairs Hero and had to return them after a week as they are not very comfortable. Was looking at the Thunderx3 core chair but can't seem to find a lot of reviews on it.

What chair did you end up getting?

I didn't, I'm still looking but leaning more towards an office chair with more features if I'm honest. The prices are *ouch* though.

I got the ThunderX3 XTC delivered today. It's pretty good for the money (so far). First impressions can be deceiving, though.
