The triple-headed Razer snake adorns high-end gaming peripherals, Blade gaming laptops, and Razer Enki gaming chairs. Gamers worldwide associate that logo with high-end performance, stunning aesthetics, and premium price tags. The Enki gaming chair collection is no exception. Base Enki X models start at $399.99 with prosumer features under the hood. Full-featured Enki Pro collab models clad in Alcantara leather top out at $1299.

Enki Gaming Chair Usability Review

The point of a gaming chair is to support good sitting posture. But that isn’t automatic. A chair’s features and sizing (in proportion to your size) will determine the quality of your sitting experience.

Common Enki Chair Features

Enki chairs come in four different flavors with varied feature sets. But at the core, all models share three common features. The first is a built-in, non-adjustable lumbar curve.

Razer Enki gaming chair collection common features across all chairs
Common Enki features: built-in (non-adjustable) lumbar; 21.25″ wide seat; soft side bolsters.

The second is a 21.25″ total seat width, including the side bolsters. Notably, the bolsters are soft (no steel underneath).

Razer Enki seat bolsters
The side bolsters on Enki seats are pure padding (no steel).

With no steel, these don’t limit legroom. That provides the freedom to sit as you like, plus enough space for thicker sizes.

Enki X Vs Enki Dimensions

Razer rates the Enki X for sizes 5’2″ and up; it rates the Enki for sizes 5’5″ and up. However, both versions have the exact same dimensions, except for the adjustable seat height. Beyond Razer’s size ratings are revised ChairsFX ones.

Spec Enki X Enki
Seat 21.25″ (total W) x 20.67″ (D) Same as Enki X
Seat height 15.75-19.7″ 17.52-21.46″
Backrest 19.69″ (W) x 32.8″ (H) Same as Enki X
Razer size ratings 5’2″ to 6’4″; 300 lbs 5’5″ to 6’8“; 300 lbs
 ChairsFX size ratings  5’6″ to 6’4″; 300 lbs Same as Enki X
Warranty 3 years 3 years
Price $399.99 from Razer $499.99 from Razer

Recommended best fit: for sizes 5’9″ to 6’2″

ChairsFX Sizing Rationale

I’ve tested hundreds of gaming and office chairs over the years using my 5’9″ (177 cm) 165 lbs. frame (roughly around the global male average).

Good gaming chair seat depth vs one that's too deep for short legs
L-R: a good seat depth (nice gap behind the knees) vs a seat that’s too deep.

Those tests have been boiled down into the ChairsFX Sizing Guide. It uses a chair’s seat depth as the key fitting metric.

If a seat is too deep for your legs, it will pull your knees forward and distort your posture. For instance, my legs fit well in a 19.3″ Secretlab Titan seat. In contrast, a 19.7″ seat is a bit too deep for my legs (no gap behind my knees and the seat lip).

Titan vs Titan XL fit for a 177 cm size
The medium-sized Titan (left) fits my 5’9″ size; the XL version’s seat is a touch deep for my legs.

The above photo shows the 19.7″ Titan XL seat a touch too deep for my 5’9″ (177 cm) size. As another reference, the best gaming chairs for short people (under 5’6″) all have seats 18.9″ deep or less.

The Enki and Enki X chair seats are both 20.67″ — too deep for short legs!

Enki Sizing Hacks

The Enki’s 20.67″ seat depth is best suited to average sizes or taller. People 5’9″ or shorter run the risk of excessive seat depth. Also, shorter sizes will find that the non-adjustable built-in lumbar hits too high.

Ergonomic Footrest Hack

Most non-adjustable desks are 28″ or taller. To sit that high while keeping their feet planted, short people (5’8″ or less) can use an ergonomic footrest. A second benefit of using a footrest is that it can negate the problem of excessive seat depth.

Ergonomic footrest to fix seat depth
Using a footrest will widen your knee bend. That solves having a seat too deep for your legs.

Using a footrest widens your knee bend — angling your knees away from the backrest lip. Beyond mitigating seat depth, a wider knee bend also places less pressure on your butt as you sit.

Lumbar Pillow Hack

Beyond finding the seat too deep, short people may find the non-adjustable lumbar support hits too high. The general target is for support to hit just above your beltline. If it hits too high or low, it can distort good posture rather than support it.

Proper lumbar support positioning
The textbook lumbar support target height is just above the beltline; the target depth is 4 cm (1.5 inches).

Anyone who finds the built-in lumbar ill-fitting can fix that with a Razer external lumbar pillow. That will override the built-in system by letting you customize your lower back support.

How to use a Phantom 3 lumbar support pillow
Raise your lumbar pillow a few inches above the seat for best results. (Phantom 3 Lumbar Guide)

As a bonus, using an external pillow will push your body around 2″ away from the backrest. That effectively reduces the seat depth by the same amount!

Razer Enki memory foam lumbar pillow
A Razer pillow can fix seat depth or built-in lumbar misfit problems for shorter Enki users.

It’s a fruitful compromise. ChairsFX rates external lumbar pillows as the third most effective type of gaming chair lumbar support. Beyond size hacking, these are comfortable and very easy to use.

Razer Lumbar Cushion $49.99

Bottom line: every short Enki user can enhance their experience with a Razer pillow.

Razer Enki Gaming Chair Reviews

Now that Enki sizing caveats are clarified, this section reviews the four variants in the Enki collection. Reviews start with the most basic Enki X; they end with the priciest Enki collab editions. Star ratings assess the quality of each chair’s feature set.

Razer Enki X: Cheapest Starter Model

3.5 out of 5.0 stars3.5

Razer Enki X gaming chair review

  • Features: 2D arms; 90-152° recline; standard tilt (rock or lock upright)
  • Upholstery: EPU synthetic leather (black with Razer green trim)
  • Sizing: 5’6″ to 6’4″; 300 lbs

Pros

  • The cheapest Enki chair
  • Has a shorter adjustable seat height to suit shorter people
  • Attractive black faux leather design with green trim

Cons

  • A headrest is not included.
  • Only has 2D arms and a standard (rock or lock upright) tilt function.
  • Its premium price buys a 3-year warranty — and budget features.

Enki X Advice

The Enki X has 2D arms and a standard tilt function; a headrest is NOT included.

Enki X from Razer $399.99

The Enki X is also available on Amazon for $399.99

Razer Enki: Black, Green & Quartz

4.0 out of 5.0 stars4.0

Razer Enki collection gaming chair review

  • Features: 4D arms; 90-152° recline; multifunction tilt
  • Headrest: included ($39.99 value)
  • Upholstery: EPU synthetic leather in 3 styles
  • Sizing: 5’6″ to 6’4″; 300 lbs

Pros

  • Full-featured adjustability
  • A headrest is included
  • Best Enki value for money

Cons

  • Some Amazon reviewers report the upholstery gets hot
  • Already cited (fixable) seat depth and non-adjustable lumbar fit quibbles

Enki Chair Advice

Regular Enki chairs offer the best value in the collection. These come fully loaded with the same adjustable features as pricier ($999.99) Enki Pro chairs.

Razer Enki gaming chair styles trio
L-R: Enki Black; Enki Green; Enki Quartz (pink).

The big difference: regular Enki chairs come with conventional Razer headrests on straps. The two dark ones come bundled with a black and green version.

Razer Enki gaming chair headrests
Enki chairs come with an included headrest on straps.

The Quartz edition includes a (grey) Quartz edition headrest. In the Razer Store, both are also available as add-ons for $39.99.

Verdict: for half the price of an Enki Pro, regular Enki chairs offer the same features — minus the fancy magnetic headrest. That makes them the best-value Enki variants in the collection.

Enki from Razer $499.99

Enki chairs are also available on Amazon for $499.00

Razer Enki Pro

The Enki’s newest edition officially ships on September 22. The Enki Pro has the same features as the regular $499.99 Enki chair. It differs with a magnetic headrest and higher-grade Alcantara Leather upholstery.

4.5 out of 5.0 stars4.5

Razer Enki Pro gaming chair review

  • Features: 4D arms; 90-152° recline; multifunction tilt
  • Headrest: premium strapless magnetic memory foam
  • Upholstery: Premium EPU Synthetic Alcantara Leather
  • Sizing: 5’6″ to 6’4″; 300 lbs

Pros

  • Highest-grade Alcantara synthetic leather (softer & more breathable)
  • Cutting-edge magnetic headrest

Cons

  • Twice the price of a regular Enki
  • Fixable seat depth and non-adjustable lumbar fit quibbles

Enki Pro Advice

For twice the price of a regular Enki chair, the Pro version comes bundled with a strapless magnetic memory foam headrest. Also, instead of EPU synthetic leather, it’s clad in Synthetic Alcantara Leather.

Razer Enki Pro headrest closeup
THis model comes with a magnetic headrest and a higher grade of synthetic leather.

The latter is a higher grade, with superior breathability and a softer feel. The end result is a full-featured chair with a soft (synthetic) leather skin — and an astronomical price.

Verdict: hardcore Razer fans may revere the Enki Pro as a cutting-edge workstation centerpiece. Others not swayed by the flashy brand pedigree may find the price too extravagant for a gaming chair.

Enki Pro from Razer $999.99

Ships September 22; only available in the official Razer Gaming Store.

Enki Pro Collabs

These are Enki Pro models with custom Alcantara synthetic leather skins. Like Pro variants, each collab edition also comes bundled with a magnetic memory foam headrest.

4.5 out of 5.0 stars4.5

Razer Enki Pro collab edition reviews

  • Features: 4D arms; 90-152° recline; multifunction tilt
  • Headrest: premium strapless magnetic memory foam
  • Upholstery: Premium EPU Synthetic Alcantara Leather
  • Sizing: 5’6″ to 6’4″; 300 lbs

Pros

  • Stunning designs in soft, breathable Alcantara synthetic leather
  • A magnetic memory foam headrest is included

Cons

  • In the same price range as world-class ergonomic office chairs
  • Fixable seat depth and non-adjustable lumbar fit quibbles
  • For hardcore enthusiasts only

Enki Pro Collab Editions Advice

Collab editions have the same features and upholstery type as $999 Enki Pro chairs. The only difference is the custom skin designs. For this ‘extra’, collab prices range from $999.99 to $1299.99.

Razer Enki collab edition gaming chairs
L-R: Automobili Lamborghini Edition; Williams Esports Edition; Koenigsegg Edition.

Verdict: buyers seeking value for money should look elsewhere. These chairs are showpiece collector’s items for ultra hardcore Razer, Automobili Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, or Williams Esports fans.

Enki Collabs from Razer $999-$1299.99

Razer Enki Vs Razer Iskur

The Enki is the follow-up to Razer’s original Iskur gaming chair. Here’s how both models compare:

Feature Enki Iskur
 Lumbar support  Built-in, non-adjustable curve Depth-adjustable
Armrests 4D 4D
 Recline  90-152° 90-139°
Seat tilt Multifunction Multifunction
Price $499.99 from Razer $599.99 from Razer

Enki Vs Iskur Sizing

ChairsFX rates the Enki for sizes 5’6″ to 6’4″. The Iskur comes in medium and XL sizes. Here’s how the three models compare:

Spec Iskur Iskur XL Enki
Seat 21.25″ (total W) x 17.3″ (D) 22.8″ (total W) x 19.8″ (D) 21.25″ (total W) x  20.67″ (D)

Price $599.99 from Razer $649.99 from Razer $499.99 from Razer

Recommended Enki Accessories

Razer also offers two relevant accessories to go with its Enki gaming chairs. Here’s a quick look:

Razer Head Cushions

Add-on headrest pillows come stuffed with memory foam in a striking triangular shape. These are especially relevant for Enki X owners (which sells without a headrest).

Razer Chroma edition headrest
The Chroma edition’s lights are powered by a USB cable running out the rear side.

The $199.99 Chroma edition is the priciest. A USB cord running out the back powers a glimmering RGB Razer logo on the front. There are also standard black and Quartz editions available for $39.99.

Razer add-on headrest pillows
Add-on pillows can fortify Enki X chairs and also upgrade Iskur ones.

Beyond being useful on Enki X chairs, these can also upgrade the basic headrest pillows that come bundled with Razer Iskur models.

Razer Head Cushions $39.99-$119.99

Razer Floor Mats

Gaming chair floor mats are a luxury, not a necessity. I’ve used circular and rectangular ones in the past. In my experience, circular ones work best — rectangle-shaped ones tend to get tangled in gaming chair wheels.

Snagged gaming chair floor mat example
Rectangular chair mats often get snagged in chair wheels.

Circular floor mats with good undergrip are ideal. These will decorate your workspace, keep your feet warm, and stay in place while you move around.

Razer offers three circular top-of-the-line mats. The black and green Team Razer edition ($129.99) is one of the most expensive floor mats on the market.

Razer Quartz and Sneki Snek floor mats
Team Razer Quartz and Sneki Snek floor mats ($79.99).

Team Razer Quartz and Sneki Snek editions cost $79.99 — also pricey versus other popular mats on the market (most cost under $60). Specs:

  • Slip-resistant silicon base
  • 120 x 120 cm dimensions
  • Waterproof PET Film surface layer
  • 2 mm-thin low-profile form factor
  • Warranty: none specified

Verdict: stylish but pricey, compared to other floor mats. Even so, these are tempting additions that every new Razer chair buyer should consider.

Team Razer Mat $129.99

Team Razer Quartz Mat $79.99 | Razer Sneki Snek Rug $79.99

Conclusion

Razer was founded in 2005. Over 18 years, it rose to become one of the world’s gaming hardware giants. Today, every gamer knows that Razer gear costs more than competing products.

Hardcore Razer gaming fan mobile computing in a Razer Enki gaming chair
This Razer devotee would rather bask in his luscious Enki chair than count pennies.

Despite this, many have embraced Razer’s premium prices for three reasons:

  1. High-quality materials: consumers know that paying more = a high-end Razer build quality.
  2. By gamers, for gamers: passionate about gaming, Team Razer understands gamer needs. Along the way, millions of gamers worldwide have embraced Razer innovations.
  3. Brand loyalty: Razer has built up a strong, passionate gamer fanbase. Many who start with one Razer product end up adopting more from its gaming ecosystem.

Compared with other gaming chairs, Razer Enki models are overpriced. That’s a baked-in brand feature of all high-end Razer gear. Like Gucci and Prada, paying extra is part of the Razer buying experience.

Razer Enki gaming chair review conclusion
Pricey prestige gaming chairs for Razer gaming hardware enthusiasts.

That explains the wild popularity and rave reviews that Razer gaming chairs garner. Bargain hunters who don’t get it should look elsewhere for their gaming gear.

On the flip side, savvy gaming hipsters who know what’s up can buy a Razer Enki — directly from the official Razer.com Gaming Store.
