For over a decade, DXRacer reigned as one of the most successful gaming chair brands in the industry. But in recent years, industry demand (and competition) has skyrocketed. To address that, the brand has focused its most recent years on new product development. In 2022, DXRacer offers a refreshed line of modernized gaming chairs. So let’s check out the the best premium DXRacer gaming chair models available in 2022.

Best DXRacer gaming chairs in 2022
Top-5 DXRacer gaming chairs (L-R): K-Series; Air; Master; Craft Series; Gladiator Series.

DXRacer spent most of 2020 retooling its gaming chair collection. Several redundant products were discontinued. Those were replaced with four new modular gaming chairs.

Modular gaming chairs let you extend a chair’s functionality with extra components. Available DXRacer modules include a laptop holder, footrest, cupholder, and mesh seat replacement.

Reviews: Best DXRacer Gaming Chairs

Four new modular gaming chairs join the iconic Racing Series in DXRacer’s premium collection. Here are the five best DXRacer gaming chairs available in 2021:

  1. DXRacer Master: Executive modular gaming chair.
  2. DXRacer Air: Full mesh modular gaming chair.
  3. Craft Series: Artsy compact chairs with integrated lumbar.
  4. Gladiator Series: Racing-style modular esports chair.
  5. King Series: Extra-wide version of the G-Series.

DXRacer Master: Modular Executive Chair

$499 from DXRacer

DXRacer first made waves with its pioneering racing-style design in 2006. Fifteen years later, the company releases a second pioneering design — a modular gaming office chair.

DXRacer Master Series chair colors
Master chairs come in microfiber leather with red, brown, and black options available.

‘Modular’ means you can add on different pieces (at extra cost).

Modular addons

There are four modules you can stack with a Master chair. Two modules enhance the existing qualities of the chair. These are designed for workers not bound by a desk. There’s also a cup-holder addon.

Master Series modular addon parts
Optional addons include a laptop/phone bracket, retractable footrest, and cup holder.
  • Multifunction bracket: holds a laptop and tablet or phone.
  • Retractable footrest: use this to enjoy La-Z-Boy style reclining. Ideal for console gaming, relaxing, watching movies, and reading.

The fourth module is a mesh seat pan replacement. If you prefer more breathability, this lets you do so with ease.

Master chair mesh seat module
If you want more breathability, swap out your padded leather seat with a mesh seat module.

Many who prefer office-style ergonomic chairs do so for the mesh. With this brilliant addon, the Master chair becomes the world’s first gaming/office chair hybrid.

Master chair features

Beyond the modular addons are two standout chair features. First is a depth-adjustable internal lumbar support, instead of a pillow. Unlike other internal lumbar chairs, the DXRacer model is both depth and height-adjustable.

DXRacer internal lumbar support adjustments
The DXRacer Master has the only integrated lumbar that’s both depth and height-adjustable.

That’s a massive upgrade. It means that the Master chair can suit a wider range of sizes than any other integrated lumbar chair on the market.

Depth-adjustable lumbars work better than pillows. Controlling the depth lets you set the perfect amount of pressure on your lower back. That ensures full contact between your spine and the backrest, without any gaps.

The other standout is a rail-mounted headrest. Slide it up or down to get the perfect fit for your size.

Summary of specs

According to the DXRacer rep we spoke to, the Master chair is ideal for pros, executives, and power users. “It’s a different concept from our racing-style chairs. It has a more office-style look that suits both gaming and executive workstations.”

FunctionalityDimensions
  • Functionality: 4D armrests; recline from 90-155°; multifunction tilt lock (15-degree seat tilt).
  • Support: cold-cured foam padding; integrated (depth-adjustable) lumbar support; rail-mounted headrest.
  • Comfort: high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
  • Upholstery: microfiber leather in black, maroon, or brown.
  • Foundation: steel frame; Class 4 gas lift; 3″ ((76 mm) XL PU-coated casters.

DXRacer has done a fantastic job making this chair suitable for a wide range of sizes. In particular, the internal lumbar support has a 2″ height adjustment range as well.

No other chair on the market offers this feature. It allows shorter users to lower the lumbar support to suit their body type.

  • Seat width x depth: 15″ (W, excluding seat edges) x 19.5″ (D)
  • Backrest width x height: 22″(W) x 33 (H)
  • Floor to seat range: 19.75-22.75″
  • Size rating: 5’7″ to 6’6″; 275-pound weight capacity

Assessment

With this design, DXRacer seems poised to repeat history. When it released its pioneering racing-style design in 2006, it took over a decade to catch on.

In 2021, its pioneering ‘modular’ concept will also (likely) need time to catch on. Luckily, in today’s red-hot ergonomic seating market, word travels a lot faster.

Pros
  • Intriguing modular concept
  • Sleek executive design
  • Height and depth-adjustable lumbar
  • Pro ergonomic features
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Mediocre 2-year warranty
  • Modules cost extra

Everything is high-end on this chair, except for the warranty. It has impressive features, sleek executive looks, and modules.

Enjoy desk-free computing with luxurious ergonomics ideal for home executives.

Part of the joy of splashing out on a high-end chair is knowing it will be with you for years. A two-year warranty on such a high-end product induces anxiety more than assurance.

That’s our only quibble with this chair. If DXRacer bumps the warranty to five years, the Master Series is basically the perfect work-from-home gaming chair.

Master Series chairs are also available on Amazon for Price not available.

DXRacer Air: Mesh Gaming Chair

$499 from DXRacer

Gaming chairs qualify as ergonomic with three essential features. Those are adjustable lumbar, adjustable armrests, and a reclining backrest. Even so, many prefer the breathability of office-style mesh chairs.

DXRacer Air ergonomic chairs

To address that, the mad lads at DXRacer cooked up a wild solution. Behold, the world’s first gaming chair upholstered in an ultra-breathable mesh. You’ve never seen anything like this:

What the heck is this thing? At a glance, it’s a standard mesh office chair with a futuristic design twist. In terms of gaming chair functionality, it compares with the best pro esports gaming chairs ($300-$550).

DXRacer Air design options
DXRacer Air chairs are available in four striking full mesh designs.

It also matches or exceeds the functionality of the best ergonomic office chairs priced between $350 to $600.

Whether you have quibbles with ergo office chairs or gaming chairs, the DXRacer Air looks well-equipped to keep everybody happy. But that’s not all.

Modular addons

The DXRacer Air borrows the modular concept first introduced by the DXRacer Master. ‘Modular’ means stackable components. You can add a retractable footrest, laptop or mobile device holder, and even an RGB exoskeleton with brilliant lighting effects.

DXRacer Air optional modules
You can buy 7 modules that add extra functionality to your chair. (click to expand)

Example modules:

  • Multifunction laptop bracket: $169.99
  • Soft plush chair cover: $99
  • Retractable footrest: $59

DXRacer Air specs

Features match up with both pro esports gaming chairs and mid-range ergonomic office chairs.

DXRacer Air headrest
The sliding headrest system has a 6 cm adjustment range.

Beyond the upholstery, notable features include a height-adjustable lumbar and headrest.

FunctionalityDimensions
  • Functionality: 4D armrests; recline from 90-135°; multifunction tilt-lock.
  • Support: height-adjustable lumbar (15 cm range); height-adjustable headrest.
  • Upholstery: ultra-breathable mesh; supporting suspension springs.
  • Foundation: steel frame; Class 4 gas lift; 3″ (76 mm) PU casters.
  • Extras: modular add-ons; leather or fabric slipcovers.

DXRacer Air seats are flat, without ridged edges. That provides enough room for semi-thick bodies; average sizes get enough room to sit cross-legged.

  • Seat width x depth: 19″ x 20″ (D)
  • Backrest width x height: 21.5″(W) x 34.5 (H)
  • Floor to seat range: 19-22″
  • Size rating: 5’10” to 6’6″; 254-pound weight capacity

Assessment

This is an incredible design with unlimited potential for user-centered customization. If you want to go deskless, add a laptop holder module.

If you find out you don’t like mesh, slap on a leather or fabric cover and use it as a gaming chair.

Pros
  • Pioneering full-mesh racing style design
  • Good ergonomic features
  • Modular extendability
Cons
  • Too large for average sizes
  • Expensive
  • Mediocre 2-year warranty

The biggest downside with this chair is its sizing. It’s marketed towards women, yet the average woman stands around 5’4″ tall. However, this chair is rated for sizes 5’10” and up.

DXRacer Air for small sizes
This chair is too large for average-sized women.

While the design and concepts are amazing, this chair needs to become available in smaller sizes. Then, the DXRacer will stand out as a revolutionary, almost-perfect gaming-office hybrid.

Modular Air add-ons and slipcover upholsteries are also available from DXRacerAir.com.

Craft Series: Compact Luxury Chair

$479 from DXRacer

The newest edition to the DXRacer lineup is a compact chair with an integrated lumbar and extra-firm padding. The other noteworthy aspect is that Craft Series chairs come in seven brilliant styles.

DXRacer Craft Series styles
All 7 Craft Series designs.

There’s an all-black Classic edition plus six with elaborately embroidered artwork.

DXRacer Air specs

I chose a Craft Series America Edition as my test model. It comes draped in a premium blue PU leather base. Candy-striped accents flanking the seat and backrest give this design bold pop. Completing the Americana tribute are stars across the front and back sides of the chair.

Other designs are just as flamboyant. For instance, the brilliant yellow ‘Rabbit in Dino’ edition goes wild with some crazy embroidered cartoon art.

DXRacer Craft Series styles
Rabbit in Dino and Thinker Craft Series styles.

The ‘Thinker’ edition is also so weird, wacky, and striking. The front riffs on Rodin’s famous sculpture. On the back, he melts a Picasso-esque dreamworld.

FunctionalityDimensions
  • Lumbar support: integrated system with depth-adjustability
  • Headrest: memory foam pillow with cooling gel inset; advanced strap system with 8″ adjustment range.
  • Armrests: 4D armrests (2.7″ height range)
  • Tilt: multifunction (rock, lock, or lock at angles)
  • Backrest recline: 90-135°
  • Warranty: 2 years on parts, lifetime on the frame.

My 5’9″ frame barely fits in this chair, although the integrated lumbar hits a shade too low. Most within DXRacer’s suggested 5’2″ to 5’7″ should find an excellent fit.

  • Seat width: 22.8″ outer width; 15″ inner width
  • Seat depth: 22″
  • Backrest: 20.8″ (widest point) x 31.5″ (H)
  • Seat height: 18-21″
  • Armrest height range: 26-29″
  • Size rating: 5’2″ to 5’7″; 200-pound weight capacity

Assessment

Head-to-head with the DXRacer Master, I find the Craft Series more comfortable. There are two reasons. First, it has firmer padding than the Master. That provides more stable, consistent support over long periods.

DXRacer Master vs Craft Series
Master vs Craft Series: the latter has a much better headrest.

Second, the memory foam headrest has a massive adjustment range and perfect shape. As a result, it delivers a much better fit than what the Master chair offers.

Pros
  • Firm padding
  • Wild embroidered desgins
  • Excellent headrest
Cons
  • Only for short people 5’2″ to 5’7″
  • Expensive
  • Mediocre 2-year warranty

The only quibbles are the high price and limited warranty. The chair itself is fantastic, now ranking among the best for small sizes in 2022.

Notably, the Craft Series lacks the modular functionality of the others. But in my opinion, the stunning designs, firm padding, and awesome headrest more than make up for it.

Craft Series $479 from DXRacer

Gladiator Series: Modular Racing Chair

$399 from DXRacer

The G-Series is a slightly stripped-down version of the DXRacer Master. Instead of an integrated lumbar, it comes with a conventional lumbar pillow. It also has a smaller recline range of 90-135 degrees.

G-Series color options
The new G-Series comes in all-black or black with red or white trim.

This chair is also ‘modular’. The parts aren’t yet available but will include the same addons as with the DXRacer Master.

Module addons for G-Series gaming chairs
G-Series chairs have the same modular potential as the DXRacer Master. (click to expand)

Once they’re released, you will be able to extend your chair with a retractable footrest, cup holder, or laptop/ tablet stand. You’ll also get the option of swapping out the padded leather seat for a mesh fabric version.

G-Series features

Beyond the modules, the G-Series is a full-features racing-style gaming chair. Our DXRacer contact described this collection as ideal for “enthusiast home gamers”. With the laptop/cellphone holder module, it’s also a handy option for pro and enthusiast-level streamers.

FunctionalityDimensions
  • Functionality: 4D armrests; recline from 90-135°; multifunction tilt lock (with 15-degree seat tilt).
  • Support: cold-cured foam padding; height-adjustable neck and lumbar support pillows.
  • Comfort: high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
  • Upholstery: PU leather in all-black; black and white; black and red.
  • Foundation: steel frame; Class 4 gas lift; XL PU-coated casters.

DXRacer hasn’t released the exact dimensions of this chair (we’ve reached out for specs). Given the fixed-height lumbar support, there’s likely a minimum size requirement to make use of it. Based on available specs, this is a slim-fitting chair best-suited to average sizes.

  • Seat width x depth: 15.7″ (W, excluding seat edges) x 19″ (D)
  • Backrest width x height: 23″(W) x 34.5 (H)
  • Floor to seat range: 17-19.5″
  • Size rating: 5’5″ to 6’2″; 200-pound weight capacity

Assessment

Based on features and price, G-Series chairs are in the same league as the Noblechairs Hero. Both models cost around $400 and come with 2-year warranties.

The G-Series beats the Hero chair on two fronts. First, since its debut earlier this year, chairs have been regularly in stock. In comparison, Hero chairs have been out of stock for several months now.

G-Series chairs

The G-Series also surges ahead with its modular functionality. You can swap in a mesh seat, connect a footrest, or attach a laptop stand.

Pros
  • Pro ergonomic features
  • Modular extendability
  • Classic racing-style design
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Basic 2-year warranty

G-Series chairs are solid all-around. The main issue is the same as with all premium DXRacer chairs: high price and short warranty.

G-Series chair modules

If neither presents a problem for you, the G-Series is a great option for work-from-home professionals. You can use it as an office chair, relaxation station, and even as a La-Z-Boy-style recliner.

Buy from DXRacer $399

The G-Series Series is also available on Amazon for $499.99.

King Series: Extra-wide Modular Racer

$499 from DXRacer

The DXRacer King Series is a larger version of the G-Series. It comes with the same rich features and similar racing styles. There are five color combinations to choose from.

DXRacer K-Series gaming chairs
K-Series chairs are 15% larger than their G-Series counterparts.

The K-Series is also modular. That means you can extend the functionality of your chair in various ways.

DXRacer K-Series modules
Extend your K-Series chair with a range of modular add-ons.

As with other DXRacer modular chairs, you can add a footrest, laptop holder, cupholder, and mesh seat pan.

K-Series specs

K-Series chairs have similar specs as G-Series ones, but with larger dimensions.

FunctionalityDimensions
  • Functionality: 4D armrests; recline from 90-135°; multifunction tilt-lock.
  • Support: cold-cured foam padding; height-adjustable neck and lumbar support pillows.
  • Comfort: high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
  • Upholstery: PU leather designs in various colors
  • Foundation: steel frame; Class 4 gas lift; 3″ (76 mm) PU casters.

Like F-Series chairs chairs, Racing Series models have slim-fitting dimensions. If you have thick legs or wide hips, expect a tight, uncomfortable fit. The main difference is that Racing Series chairs accommodate taller sizes than F-Series ones.

  • Seat width x depth: 17.5″ (W, excluding seat edges) x 22.8″ (D)
  • Backrest width x height: 24″(W) x 33.4 (H)
  • Floor to seat range: 17.3-19.6″
  • Size rating: 5’7″ to 6’5″; 250-pound weight capacity

Assessment

The K-Series is a racing-style gaming chair designed to fit wider, taller sizes. Compared to the G-Series, its seat offers two extra inches of width.

Like the G-Series, it’s a solid, reliable chair with appealing modular functionality. On the downside, minus the modules, it’s a pricey chair with short warranty period.

Even so, it’s one of the most versatile work-from-home gaming chairs on the market.

K-Series from DXRacer $499

The K-Series is also available on Amazon for Price not available.

DXRacer Prosumer Gaming Chairs

The models in this category have stripped-down features. Instead of a seat angle tilt-lock, these let you rock the chair, but not lock the seat at angles.

Prince Series: Affordable Gaming Chair

$259 from DXRacer

This new collection features compact dimensions, basic features, and a rock-bottom price. That makes it a solid pick for both students and young home-based professionals.

DXRacer P-Series gaming chairs

Cheap gaming chairs provide a comparable level of back support as expensive ones. They typically cut corners with thinner padding, less adjustability, and less durability.

P-Series chairs follow this trend with 1D armrests and a standard tilt mechanism (not a multifunction one). However, they’re also backed by DXRacer’s 2-year warranty.

P-Series specs

You can save money buying this chair, at the expense of some luxuries. 1D armrests should help sync your chair and desk but without any adjustment options. The lack of a multifunction tilt means you can rock the chair, but not lock it at angles.

FunctionalityDimensions
  • Functionality: 1D armrests; recline from 90-135°; standard tilt (rocking and tilt tension).
  • Support: cold-cured foam padding; height-adjustable neck and lumbar support pillows.
  • Comfort: high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
  • Upholstery: PU leather in all-black; black and white; black and red.
  • Foundation: steel frame; Class 3 gas lift; 60 mm PU casters.

P-Series chairs are compact, with slim-fitting dimensions. The size rating (5’3″-5’9″; 160-175 cm; 63-68″) suits children aged 12-18 (using Wisconsin averages).

  • Seat width x depth: 15.7″ (W, excluding seat edges) x 21″ (D)
  • Backrest width x height: 22.5″(W) x 33 (H)
  • Floor to seat range: 16.5-20.5″
  • Size rating: 5’3″ to 5’9″; 200-pound weight capacity

Assessment

Prince Series chairs are cheap, durable, and very comfortable. The low price, compact dimensions, and 2-year warranty make an excellent first gaming chair for adolescents.

P-Series gaming chair in living room
The P-Series offers basic but solid support for small-sized users on a budget.

These models lack the flash and features of price models. Even so, the P-Series provides the support young bodies need to sit straight while computing.

P-Series from DXRacer $259

The P-Series is also available on Amazon for $399.99.

Tank Series: Big And Tall Gaming Chair

$629 from DXRacer

The Tank Series fits people between 5’11” to 6’6″. It supports up to 400 pounds with extra-wide dimensions for big and tall bodies.

DXRacer Tank Series big and tall gaming chair

Tank Series specs

Functionality is solid. Features include 4D armrests, an extra-large headrest, a lumbar support pillow, and a conventional tilt mechanism.

The biggest drawback is a limited to only 120 degrees. Most other DXRacer chairs recline to at least 135 degrees or more.

FunctionalityDimensions
  • Functionality: 4D armrests; recline from 90-120°; standard tilt (rocking and tilt tension).
  • Support: cold-cured foam padding; height-adjustable neck and lumbar support pillows.
  • Comfort: high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
  • Upholstery: All-black PU leather or black with red/ blue trim.
  • Foundation: steel frame; Class 4 gas lift; 3″ (76 mm) PU casters.

DXRacer hasn’t released the exact dimensions of this chair (we’ve reached out for specs). Given the fixed-height lumbar support, there’s likely a minimum size requirement to make use of it. Based on available specs, this is a slim-fitting chair best-suited to average sizes.

  • Seat width x depth: 18″ (W, excluding seat edges) x 20″ (D)
  • Backrest width x height: 26.5″(W) x 37 (H)
  • Floor to seat range: 13.-17″
  • Size rating: 5’11” to 6’6″; 400-pound weight capacity

Assessment

Compared to our top-ranked big and tall gaming chairs, the Tank Series has some issues. It’s more expensive than other top-rated XL chairs. Cheaper XL models from Secretlab and AKRacing boast better features and longer warranties.

DXRacer Tank 400 lbs chair

On its own, the Tank Series is large, luxurious, and attractive. But when compared to other leading models, it offers less value for more money.

Tank Series from DXRacer $629

Formula Series: Classic Gaming Chair

$329 from DXRacer

ChairsFX.com was founded atop an F-Series FD101 chair. It’s a timeless classic that will forever hold a place in my heart.

F-Series gaming chair
I used this F-Series chair for 2.5 years before the leather began to degrade. Everything else worked perfectly for 3+ years.

The Formula Series is DXRacer’s original gaming chair. It’s an entry-level model that’s the blueprint for pretty much every other gaming chair on the market.

There are several versions, all priced at $329. Differences between models are the colors and type of upholstery. A few are hybrid mesh and PU leather chairs. One model is all-fabric. The rest are PU leather designs.

Formula Series FD101 gaming chair designs
FD101 chairs come in four hybrid (leather and fabric) designs.

Looking for a reliable starter chair with basic styling and rock-solid performance? Even though the F-Series design is dated, it remains one of the all-time classic gaming chairs.

Formula Series specs

All chairs in the Formula Series collection have the same features and dimensions.

FunctionalityDimensions
  • Functionality: 1D armrests; recline from 90-135°; standard tilt (rocking and tilt tension).
  • Support: cold-cured foam padding; height-adjustable neck and lumbar support pillows.
  • Comfort: high-density foam padding; neck and lumbar support cushions.
  • Upholstery: mesh fabric upholstery with colored PU leather trim.
  • Foundation: steel frame; Class 4 gas lift; 2″ (50.8 mm) PU casters.

These are small-slim-fitting chairs. The size rating (5’3″-5’8″; 160-172 cm; 63-67″) fits young people aged 12-18 (using Wisconsin averages).

  • Seat width x depth: 15.1″ (W, excluding seat edges) x 18″ (D)
  • Backrest width x height: 22.5″(W) x 33 (H)
  • Floor to seat range: 16-20″
  • Size rating: 5’3″ to 5’8″; 200-pound weight capacity

Asessment

A gaming chair with 1D armrests for over $300 sounds insane. A hybrid fabric and leather gaming chair with 1D armrests from DXRacer is reasonable.

Formula Series hybrid upholstery
The hybrid upholstery provides a superb introduction to both leather and fabric gaming chairs.

The hybrid upholstery is a great choice for a young person’s first gaming chair. It gives them a taste of both upholstery types in a solid, sturdy, and very comfortable package.

In our roundup of best gaming chairs under $300, a few models offer better features than the F-Series.

However, none offer a 2-year warranty or the legendary ruggedness that the F-Series offers. Learn more about the updated F-Series collection in our DXRacer Formula Series gaming chair review.

Pink Paw Print: Pink Gaming Chair

$399 from DXRacer

The Pink Paw Print chair has a cute pink design backed by a solid array of ergonomic features.

DXRacer Pink Paw Print chair

The chair has a pink leather base with white PU trim. There’s a paw print embroidered on the front, plus DXRacer logos sewn across the chair’s edges.

Quick specs

  • Functionality: 3D armrests; recline to 135 degrees; conventional tilt-lock.
  • Floor to seat range: 18-22″
  • Size rating: 5’6″ to 6’0″, 225-pound weight capacity (American sizes ages 16+)

Assessment

This is a cute gaming chair with decent features and slim-fitting dimensions. Based on technical features, the value for money is mediocre. For instance, $399 can get you a full-featured esports chair from Secretlab with a 5-year warranty.

Pink Paw Print gaming chair

The aesthetics of this chair are the main attraction. The good build quality and 2-year warranty also give an idea of the quality to expect.

It’s not the best value. But if the design appeals, you’ll get a solid, comfortable product that does the job.

Pink Paw Print from DXRacer $399

More About DXRacer And Its Chairs

DXRacer is a Chinese company with its global headquarters located in Michigan. The company’s pioneering 2006 design coincided with the rise of esports. That helped gaming chairs to become a thriving global industry.

DXRacer gaming chair blueprint
DXRacer’s pioneering 2006 gaming chair design is still globally popular in 2021.

When the work-from-home era emerged in 2020, demand for gaming chairs skyrocketed. Some big gaming chair brands struggled to keep up with demand. Others (like Secretlab and Killabee) began breaking gaming chair sales records.

In response to changing trends, DXRacer has revamped its lineup with new products and concepts.

Mesh + Modular Gaming Chair Concepts

The new collection introduces two pioneering concepts. We predict these will have a big impact on both the gaming and ergonomic office chair industries. Here’s a quick summary:

Modular gaming chairs

Modular gaming chairs are designed to accommodate extra features. In the new product line, the Master, G-Series, and DXRacer Air all have modular capability.

Optional modules include a retractable footrest, a laptop/mobile device stand, and a cupholder. The most intriguing extra is a mesh fabric seat replacement.

This gives you the best of both worlds. When you desire thick, meaty support, slap in the padded gaming chair seat. When you prefer a light, airy, floating sensation, pop in the mesh fabric seat.

Breathable mesh gaming chairs

Somebody on the DXRacer design team really loved the mesh seat idea. Following up on the modular technology release, DXRacer pushed things even further with an all-mesh gaming chair.

The DXRacer Air has the cool breathability of traditional ergonomic office chairs. Stacked on top are pro esports gaming chair features. Stacked on top of that are an array of modules.

Five years from now, we predict hundreds of mesh modular gaming chairs to flood the market.

DXRacer Warranty, Durability, And Support

All models come with a 2-year warranty on parts, plus 10-year protection on the steel frame. Making a claim is very easy. Simply head over to this form and fill out your details.

The Formula Series chair (left) served 2.5 years full-time before the leather began to deteriorate.

Based on my experiences, you can definitely expect DXRacer chairs to meet or exceed the warranty period. Check our DXRacer durability case study for details.

DXRacer Healthy Sitting Tips

When I bought my first DXRacer F-Series back in 2017, it took me several weeks to learn how to use it. My biggest challenge was learning how to use the DXRacer lumbar support pillow.

Brand new, the uncompressed lumbar pillow is too fat. That leaves a gap between your spine and the backrest. My solution was to squish it under my bed’s mattress for a few hours.

But even with the proper depth, many might still struggle to adjust to find the right height adjustment.

For most, the DXRacer lumbar pillow should be a few inches higher than the seat pan. Setting it too high or low will curl your hips forward. Check out this clip about proper lumbar pillow height adjustment:
