My review of the DX racer chair

This chair is awesome. I also own one and I recommend it for everyone that can afford the money.

 

As mentioned before the chair is on lower side of chairs.

9 of 10 voices in my mind say I'm crazy. The tenth hums the melody of Tetris.

Arozzi and AKRacing should also be really good chairs for gaming. But damn the price for that DX-Racer.
 
This is what i'm using right now. HAHA I i know, it's aweful :P

 About how high can it go floor to seat? I'm a bit tall and 6'2" and I like a chair that can go a little higher than the usual ~ 20 inches

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

In that case, the f series may not be the ideal choice for you. Don't worry though, the company offers the m series and king series for taller and larger people, so you may have luck with those products.

Man, that makes me want to get one of those. Does anyone have experience with the Maxnomic chairs or any other similar brands like AkRacing?

Why are you calling them haxor chairs? I've heard nothing but good things from these chairs, the quality seems to be fantastic and they feel great to sit in too. If you paid 350 for your used chair, I'd rather get a brand new "haxor" chair.

To OP, looks awesome, love how the chair fits well with your case, may your buns sit in pure bliss :D

On the King series what is the difference between the normal King and the Zero Edition?

Functionally, there should be a difference. I think the zero is just some special branding

I am planning on getting a Max series Dxracer sometime soon, but it would be very interesting to see someone compare a Herman Miller or Steelcase to the Dxracer and Maxnomic chairs.  I know Jayz said he had a $1000 chair at his old job before he went to youtube full-time, and commented that the Dxracer was comfier, but more opinions needed!
