Gaming chairs.

What kind of chair do you use for gaming?

I was researching them and didn't see any that I liked. They all looked like they reclined too much for me. In a real truck seat you tend to sit up very straight so I went to a local truck salvage yard and bought a genuine KW high back air ride seat out of a 2013 W900. With the addition of a small piece of plywood for a base, some modification to the air line, a DC powered tire inflator, and a motorcycle battery I now have the most realistic truck sim seat in the world. Sure, it doesn't have motion actuators or force feedback but the realism/immersion factor is incredible.

I looked at similar chairs but rejected them because of the wheels. They tend to roll backwards as you use the pedals.

As for pix of my setup, I'll have to figure out how to do it first.

A discussion about chairs is of course not complete without mentioning the Ikea Markus chair. It is not a gaming chair but more a serious office chair. I've been using it for about 7 years now and it still looks new.

Good office chair of I-didnt-care-the-brand many years ago that soon I will replace for another one. I purchase them on office equipment specialized stores. The only change I'm planning is to move to a meshy surface chair while now I've one with textile upholster.

I think that if you have the time and possibility to go to such kind of stores, even if a bit more expensive than on "big chains", the kind of stuff one can find there worth the extra money. Of course, it could be different depending on each country.

But here in Quebec,Staples stores are called Bureau en gros.
