Hey guys, found this on facebook and decided to order one, no idea how this differs to the dxracer version. I'm 6"2 105kg and was concerned about getting the right size, but this seat seems to be the goods.
Was delivered in two days and very easy to assemble.
They have a few different colours to choose from also.
Original price: $359
AKRACING Octane Gaming Chair $289.00 Incl Delivery

Completely different feature set, this will actually recline compared to the fixed back Kogan chair. Are you comparing apples vs oranges just based on thumbnail pictures? Because if you are then you should look at the pictures and feature set a little closer.
Do you actually own both and can really comment on the build quality differences?
Do you own both?
No - I looked at images and read the descriptions to find out the differences between the products.
Which wheels do they use? The big picture shows some extremely crappy wheels and the close ups show a completely different wheel that has a guard.
When it breaks, how hard is it to get them to pay the return freight?
These things really don't break (under consumer law, depending on state, if it's costly or unreasonable to return then the retailer has to).
The problem with them is PU "Leather", which is just vinyl and will peel and flake after a few years.
Rubbish chair. If you are thinking of getting this chair to fix ur bad back, ur gonna have a bad time. Bought a dx racer which is 99% similar to this chair , nothing but giving you more back problem. Better off getting a better chair somewhere else. still want a gaming chair. Get on gumtree and look for sport car parting their car apart and save urself some money.
You don't even own this product? Do you just think it's bad for people's backs because it didn't help your already crooked back?
You then suggest that people should save money by purchasing a sweaty second hand sports car bucket seat, to what? put on the floor and sit on it with their legs dangling in front of them?
You neg as poorly as you write.
sorry i dont write perfect English like u and recommending a sweaty bucket seat was sacrasm. hmmmm u do know dxracer are the same thing just with diffrent branding. They advertise gaming chair as sth that provide support for your back but the design provide nothing. Not even a proper lumbar, so pls tell me how good this chair is c0balt.
Fair enough mate. I've only had the chair for not even a week but my back got sore playing 2+ hours before and now with the lumbar pillow which makes me sit up straight, I don't seem to be having the problem. Everyone's back is different though I guess and not every seat is going to be a good fit for everyone.
It looks very cheaply made considering the high price? The Kogan $100 model looks a little better made?
Why is it so expensive?
