Im of two minds and im not sure.
Ergonomically speaking, I find most fancy gaming chairs do better than office chairs.
I recently bought a ThunderX RCB chair and I think it is doing okay for now. It went together easy, has movable back and neck support and the cushion has gottenc omfortable. It seems durable and sturdy. Ive had it for a month.
When it was fresh out of the box the cushion was VERY stiff and I did not actually enjoy it at first. Took about a week to "break in". NOw it is very comfortable. However that being said I have noticed and started to wonder if the cushion is actually going to hold up over time because it has gone from stiff to cushiony in such a short space of time. I also feel like the front edge is alreadys tarting to "squish" a little - so I am undecided as to how long it will last at this point.
On the other side:
WHen I started working from home a few years ago, for Occupational Health and Safety regulations, I HAD to go out and buy a office chair that met certain standards, durability rated chair. It had to have a high end hydraulic for the seat and other build specifications.
The cushion on THAT chair is way more comfortable than this THunderX. And it still has held up over a few years with no indicationt hat the padding in the seat has changed at all. Its seriously comfortable to sit on. BUT it just doesnt have the same ergnomic feel as the ThunderX
I think over time, i will have wished the THunderX used the padding/cushion material of the other chair.
