Ninja: Embody Gaming Chair

For several years, Richard “Ninja” Blevins has reigned as the world’s most-followed streamer. These days, he streams a lot of Fortnite and some Valorant.

What gaming chair does Ninja use?
Ninja currently uses a Herman Miller Embody gaming chair.

From 2018 until late 2022, Ninja used a custom Maxnomic Pro gaming chair. It came in his personal color palette, with Ninja logos on the front and back.

Ninja's official Maxnomic pro chairs

In February 2022, he built himself a new streaming setup. As its centerpiece, he replaced his Maxnomic chair with a Herman Miller Embody gaming chair(2).

What gaming chair does Ninja use?
Ninja now uses an Embody gaming chair.

Herman Miller Embody gaming chair

The Embody gaming chair is a collaboration between Herman Miller and Logitech. It has the same features as the classic Embody chair, with a few tweaks.

New Herman Miller Embody gaming chair

First is a multi-layered seat suited to the more active posture style of pro eSports players. It includes two spring layers, a mat layer, and a foam layer. The foam contains copper-fused cooling technology, helping the seat to stay cool at all times.

Herman Miller Embody gaming chair seat
The new Embody comes with multi-layered seating technology for enhanced comfort and coolness.

Over the foam layer is a new dark fabric skin with a grooved surface and Logitech G logo on the front of the backrest. On the back of the chair is a blue plastic backrest with black ‘ribs’ and a central spine. The whole unit adapts to micro-movements.

Herman Miller Embody gaming chair
The new Embody comes in a stunning black with blue (Logitech) accents.

That ensures consistent support no matter what position the user moves into. Also noteworthy are the blue color accents. Those reflect the color of the Logitech G logo.

AuronPlay: Secretlab Titan Deadmau5

Twitch Rank: #2 | Channel

AuronPlay (Raúl Álvarez Genes) is a Spanish comedian and Twitch streamer. On Youtube, despite not posting for over two years, he has 29.2 million subscribers! On Twitch, he has around 4 million fewer subscribers than Ninja. Even so, his streams average 77,352 views — seven times more than Ninja!

Gaming chair used by Auronplay and his Twitch statistics
AuronPlay uses a Titan 2020 Deadmau5 edition gaming chair.

Since late 2019, AuronPlay has been using a Secretlab Titan 2020 Deadmau5 chair. This was the same design that Deadmau5 used while performing during his peak. Notably, it’s only available in Titan 2020 and Omega 2020 Series variants.

The former is a larger chair with flat seat edges and an integrated lumbar. The latter is a compact chair with bladed seat edges and a memory foam lumbar pillow. Learn more in this Titan 2020 vs Omega 2020 Technical Comparison.

What gaming chair does AuronPlay use?
This Spaniard is one of the hardest-grinding streamers in the game.

On the longevity front, Auronplay averages 95.5 hours online per month (23.8 hours per week). Over three years, his Titan 2020 seems to be holding up well under that load.

Titan 2020 Deadmau5 $524

The Omega 2020 Deadmau5 $524 is also available from Secretlab for $474.

Rubius: Drift Rubius Edition

Twitch Rank: #3 | Channel

Rubius (Rubén Doblas Gundersen) is a Spanish-Norwegian YouTuber and Twitch streamer. On Twitch, (like many top Spanish streamers), he plays a lot of Minecraft and GTA V.

What gaming chair does Rubius use?
Rubius uses a Drift Rubius Premium Edition gaming chair.

Rubius is a tall gamer, standing 6’3″. Even so, his chair of choice for several years was a compact-sized DXRacer Drifting Series (now discontinued). In 2021 Rubius collaborated with a Spanish company called Drift on a custom chair for European markets.

What gaming chair does Rubius use?
Rubius recently switched from a DXRacer to his own custom design.

The collaboration looks to be a success, and they’ve recently upgraded to the Drift Premium Rubius chair. The new model has a sleeker look and a multi-function tilt lock.

Ibai: Titan Evo 2020 Stealth

What gaming chair does Ibai use?
Ibai uses a Secretlab Titan 2020 Stealth edition.

At a glance, he appears to be using a Cupra Gaming Chair in his streams. In fact, this Spanish auto accessories maker is partnered with Ibai, but they don’t make chairs. In fact, it’s a Cupra pillow laid over a Titan 2020 chair.

Secretlab Titan 2020 Stealth

Ibai uses a Secretlab Titan 2020 Stealth edition. Ibai is small and thick, standing 5’9″ and weighing around 240 pounds. The Titan comes with a flat, wide seat suitable for thick sizes. It’s also rated for sizes 5’9″ and up.

Secretlab Titan Steal executive edition chair
The Titan Stealth edition’s dark matte executive design exudes power and sophistication.

Compared with the 2022 Series, this version’s integrated lumbar is depth but not height-adjustable. Also, its headrest pillow attaches with straps, unlike the 2022 version’s strapless magnetic system.

xQc gaming chair and streaming statistics
xQc uses a Steelcase Leap ergonomic chair.

xQc is hard-core, streaming for around 236 hours per month (59 hours per week). To keep his back supported, he tends to cycle through a range of high-end ergonomic chairs. These days, he uses a Steelcase Leap. But at the start of 2022, he was using a Herman Miller Aeron.

What gaming chair does xQc use?
xQc recently switched from an Embody to Aeron ergonomic chair.

Meanwhile, in 2021, he spent most of the year atop a Blue Grotto Herman Miller Embody chair.

In switching over to Steelcase, he’s now exploring the merits of Herman Miller’s largest office chair competitor.

Steelcase Leap

The Leap is the original Steelcase ergonomic chair. It debuted in 1998 as the Steelcase version of Herman Miller’s Aeron chair. It has a different shape and smaller armrest adjustment range, but otherwise similar features.

Steelcase Leap upholstery options
L-R: Buzz 2 and Cogent Connect (fabric); Leather and Elmosoft Leather.

Its highlight feature is a 3D Live Back System. As the user reclines, the 3D Live Back flexes to keep the lumbar curve supported at all times.

Steelcase 3D Live Back support feature
The Gesture chair’s Live Back system provides consistent support for the hips and lower back.

The lumbar support is height-adjustable. Pulling two slots on each side of the backrest will let you slide it up or down as needed.

Steelcase Leap adjustable lumbar support
The Leap includes a height-adjustable lumbar support system.

Tfue: Herman Miller Embody

Twitch Rank: #6 | Channel

Tfue is a former pro player with FaZe Clan and one of the highest-earning “Fortnite” players of all time.

Tfue gaming chair and streaming statistics
Tfue uses a Herman Miller Embody gaming chair.

Early in his streaming career, he ran a cluttered gaming station without much attention to aesthetics.

Tefue old Maxnomic gaming chair
Tfue formerly used the white Maxnomic as his main streaming chair.

For several years, he had used a custom Maxnomic OFC chair. He also has a DXRacer Drifting Series in his collection. In 2021, he made a couple of changes.

Herman Miller Embody Chair

In 2021, Tfue cleaned up his cable management and refined his production values. He also switched to streaming from a black Herman Miller Embody office chair.

Tfue gaming setup and chair 2021
Tfue now streams using an all-black Herman Miller Embody chair.

In early 2022, he switched to an Embody x Logitech G gaming edition. Here’s a recent stream screengrab showing off his chair:

Tfue 2022 streaming setup
Tfue currently uses a Herman Miller Embody x Logitech G gaming chair.

The Embody Gaming edition is almost the same as the office version. It differs with an extra layer of seat padding and a funky blue backrest.

Embody Specifications

Unlike other ergonomic chairs, the Embody doesn’t have an adjustable lumbar support system. Instead, its 3D Pixelated backrest is designed to support the upper spine as a first priority.

Embody Backfit system for thoracic support
The Embody’s Backfit supports the thoracic spine first and the lumbar spine second.

Because it’s not height-adjustable, sizing matters. Although rated for sizes 5’4″ and up, most shorter than 5’9″ will find the upper back cup support promotes slouching rather than good posture!

Embody chair sitting styles
Shorter sizes may struggle to get the Embody’s back angle set correctly.

But since Tfue stands 6’1″, his Embody looks like a near-perfect fit. Summary of specs:

Summary of FeaturesSizing
  • Synchro-tilt: seat pan angle 3° to 15°; backrest 94° to 120°
  • Pixelated back support: ultra-adaptive mid-back support with pixelated ‘ribs’.
  • BackFit angle adjustment: lets you angle the backrest to fit the curvature of your spine.
  • Seat adjustments: adjust the seat’s height and depth.
  • Armrests: 2D-adjustable
  • Backrest: adjust recline tension; 3-position tilt-lock; synchro-tilt

The Embody chair is one-size-fits-all, designed to fit Herman Miller designed to fit 95% of adults. It offers ample adjustment ranges in seat height, arm width, and seat depth.

  • Seat: 21.25″ (W) x 15″-18″ (D)
  • Backrest: 14″ (W) x 23.5″ (H)
  • Armrests: 11.5-21″ width range; 4-8.75″ height range.

Pokimane: Titan 2022 Frost Blue Softweave

Twitch Rank: #10 | Channel

Pokimane started the year using a Herman Miller Aeron. But since September 2022, she’s been streaming atop a Secretlab Titan Frost Blue Softweave chair.

Pokimane gaming chair and streaming statistics
Pokimane uses a Secretlab Titan 2022 Softweave Frost Blue chair.

Imane Anys is a Moroccan-Canadian streamer known online as Pokimane. She first made her mark streaming League of Legends and Fortnite. She’s also a founder of OfflineTV.

Pokimane Chair History

Since Pokimane started streaming in 2018, she’s used 5 different chairs. She started atop a Dxracer. In 2019, she posted a home setup video where she raves about her Herman Miller Embody chair(4).

Pokimane using Herman Miller chairs
Pokimane has tried both of Herman Miller’s flagship chairs.

Soon after, she switched to a Noblechairs Epic gaming chair (2019-2021). In late 2021, she developed an RSI (repetitive strain injury) in her wrist.

Sad Pokimane accepts defeat
Pokimane’s Aeron investment was a total bummer for the 9 months it lasted.

To address that, she upgraded to a Herman Miller Aeron. In her 9 months of owning it, she used it during streams for only around 2 months. Soon after, she went on hiatus.

Pokimane using an Aeron and Titan chair
Pokimane resumed streaming in Sept. 2022 with a Frost Blue Titan 2022 chair.

When she returned in early September 2022, her Aeron had disappeared. In its place is a Secretlab Titan 2022 Frost Blue Softweave chair.

Pokimane sitting in a Herman Miller Aeron and Secretlab Titan
Pokimane now uses a Secretlab Titan Softweave chair.

Unlike the other streamers in this article, she transitioned the other way. She ‘upgraded’ from her $2000 Aeron to a $469 Softweave model. In her case, the ‘upgrade’ from one to the other makes sense.

Ninja, Tfue, Shroud, TimtheTatman and others upgrade to Herman Miller chairs in pursuit of greater business glory. In contrast, Pokimane intends to gear down and chillax a lot more. From that perspective, a Titan makes sense over an Aeron chair!
