Best advice Ive heard on chairs "Fuck gamer and racer style chairs. Look for something that screams "Im going to fire 3000 people over Zoom in this shit"

Probably because in a real racing seat there's a harness to keep you from slouching. I used to have terrible lower back issues with a Recaro bucket seat I converted for a desk chair. Never had a problem with it driving for hours when it was in my car (may it rest in pieces). Then it dawned on me that the seatbelt was maintaining my posture. Added a lap belt and the back problems abated.

I learned about the companies selling refurbished Aerons on eBay and picked one up a couple years ago for $400. Love it!

I could never get into those. They look nice, but Ive read some damning reviews about how uncomfortable they are.

I kinda prefer the plush office chairs that look more like a couch with wheels.

Chairs are one of those things that you need to drop serious money on if you sit more than a few hours a day. Focus on chairs for office work and expect to pay over $1k.

Yep, same. Worst chairs you can buy by a wide margin. Cheapest IKEA chairs is worlds better than the priciest gamer chair.

Same but a gaming mouse. I came from a cheap office mouse that was amazing but ended its (long) lifespan. Replaced it and wow this mouse sucks. Yes it has RGB but every single time I scroll with it, it causes my finger to hurt like crazy, which is a REAL problem in this era.

I had the same experience and ended up donating it to a friend. What I found that was actually comfortable is a $1,400 office chair that I got a good deal on.

I did exactly the same. Even the kids wouldn't sit on it haha

I have a "gaming chair" and I hate it. Still use it though until I can get enough money to get another one.

It's funny that I hear this a lot but I've been using my dx racer since 2017. I am quite skinny though so that might help. I'm wearing through the fake leather now though, looking to get something new by the end of this year. But the damage is mostly my fault for sitting half crossed legged, sometimes while wearing shoes.
