Some conclusions can be difficult to write, you’ve got to be tactful and respectful of the time, effort and money that people have invested into developing the product you’re testing, even if it’s not very good; but then there are reviews like this, where the conclusion almost writes itself, this chair is phenomenal.
Comfort is off the scale, at least for any gaming chair within touching distance of this price point. The footrest cushion, neck pillow, constantly adjustable lumbar support, endless tweaking possibilities, it all combines into a chair that blows everything else out of the water.
Appearance-wise it holds its own as well, we think it looks great in the office, and if you’re not a fan of the one we tested, they have two different styles and six other colours to pick from, so you’re not short of choices.
Things seemed to have stagnated a bit in the gaming chair scene, they burst out of nowhere around 6 years ago it seemed, where they were all the rage, everyone is interested in having one, all the Twitch streamers have them, but there was no innovation or big changes at all really. This ThunderX3 CORE feels like a big refresh and an opportunity for other manufacturers to take note of what can be done with the same fundamental design. The adjustability on this chair is world’s ahead of anything we’ve tested so far, the asynchronous back tilt is a game-changer, the ability to adjust the rake and length of the seat base is excellent, an endlessly adjusting lumbar support is exactly what I’ve been needing for a good while and the neck cushion is simply lovely.
Would we recommend the ThunderX3 CORE? Without shadow of a doubt. It’s the best chair in its category at the moment. An absolute cracker!
