Gaming chairs are a complex subject with offerings ranging from the low $100s all the way to as much as $2000 with all chairs available with a plethora of features - and some tradeoffs depending on which variant you ultimately decide to go with. Today we revisit one of the oldest and arguably one of the best gaming chair companies in the game: DXRacer, which has offerings that range between a relatively small price range of sub $350 to just a shade above $500.

DXRacer arguably set up the entire gaming chair market with its widely successful DXRacer Formula series, which combined know-how about making racing car seats with office chair design. Since then, DXRacer has narrowed its focus to offer players three high quality gaming chairs. The Craft, the Master, and the Drifting series may have a lot in common with one another, but only one can be considered the very best.

DXRacer Craft Gaming Chair

Our top choice for DXRacer is a chair that gamers can depend on, hours into sessions. The Craft series brings together comfort that actually supports players with upholstery options that let gamers customize their space beyond their desk. Armed with the standard 4D adjustable armrests that are a DXRacer staple and a high-density memory foam headrest pillow, the DXRacer Craft Pro gaming chair is designed to make an impression on both the user and those that look at it from afar. It comes with concealed lumbar support and a zero-gravity design.

The ergonomics of this chair are very similar to Secretlab's designs, with the self-adjusting lumbar support being essentially a copycat of Secretlab's lattice lumbar support, but with slightly less impressive materials (i.e., non-woven support). Along with this, the Craft series also employs superior adjustability through 4D armrests, chair tilting at up to 135 degrees, and contoured sides to help keep shoulders aligned with the back. Plus, there's a nice 15-degree rocking feature and an optional footrest for even more comfort. It should be noted that taller players may not really like the footrest, as it can often end up pushing against uncomfortable pressure points, depending on the length of the user's legs.

The Craft lineup is one that DXRacer calls the 'most comfortable gaming chair' and it is easy to see why. With an extended and thickened 5-layer seat cushion and an optional armrest, the Craft is simply a better version of the luxury racing car seats the gaming chair juggernaut DXRacer is known for.

The DXRacer Drifting series of gaming chairs is a fantastic middle-of-the-road option for players in need of a new PC chair. The design is fairly simple, and there is only one color, but what the Drifting chair lacks in style, it makes up for in quality.

DXRacer packed in their best ergonomic designs where they could on the Drifting gaming chair. The cold-cured foam helps maintain support even after months of use, while the cooling memory foam headrest pillow keeps users' heads properly aligned with their spine.

The incredible price does come at a slight cost, as the side wings that provide some extra ergonomic support can also work against larger body types and create discomfort. However, the rest of the chair is pretty flexible. Players can adjust the height, recline up to 135 degrees, move their armrests in 3D, or even rock back and forth. The high quality materials used also means that these adjustable parts won't break down over time as easily, extending the life of the chair without adding to the cost.

While DXRacer's Drifting series gaming chairs aren't the absolute best, they're still pretty stylish and durable considering their competitive price. Gamers looking to get a chair that will last just a few years of intense use, might be satisfied with a Drifting series chair over other budget gaming chairs.

The DXRacer Master is DXRacer's magnum opus and with good reason; It comes with premium microfiber leather, excellent adjustable lumbar support (the knob could get some work in to make it feel less visible though), and a completely modular design that allows it to be bundled with as many accessories as you can purchase or DXRacer can offer. It is a masterclass (pun intended) in gaming chairs and one that DXRacer's competitors should consider as the one to beat if they are going to go neck and neck with the racing seat manufacturer turned gaming chair brand.

It does have its cons though; For starters, the Master is catering to the office market. That means that while the design is premium and looks in place just about anywhere, it might be a little less "exciting" for a product that is being pushed to a gaming market with significant emphasis on darker colors. DXRacer's own site, for example, lists 5 different colors at the time of writing but none of them seem to be of a lighter shade or have customizations that would allow there to be more designs on the upholstery itself, unlike the Craft/Craft Pro lineup. It also gets increasingly pricey once you factor in the cost of add-ons once they kick in en masse.
