Finding the right gaming chair (kbin.social)

Hey there,

I returned to playing computer after years of playstation. When I stopped playing, I was much younger than I am now.

Age: 33
Weight: 124kg
Height: 176cm

So I have that cheap office chair but on long sessions I can feel some stress in my back. Don't have that in the office at work - but those chairs are probably much better.

So right now I'm struggling to find a decent chair that actually is good for my back and not just a chair that can bend back if you know what I mean.

So as I already struggled finding the right keyboard and mouse, I am struggling with finding the right chair. I don't want to pay a fortune but also know that a good chair will not come off cheap.

A friend suggested Secretlab and also spoke about Back force one or something like that.

What should I pay attention to, next to weight and stuff, and what can you actually recommend?

Lots of thanks in advance!

I either went through or watched my friends go through several (gaming) chairs. One friend spent north of $1000US on one then complained about it incessantly. I myself, needed a good chair for just sitting at the computer (working from home) and I just didn't want to spring for some expensive Herman-Miller chair (that I am sure would be terrific).

I eventually found Branch, and bought the Ergo chair. We eventually bought 3 of them (for each computer station in the house). Good chairs, not expensive, would buy again.
