Best Gaming Chair for around $200?

[OneSaltyDog]

For christmas I am going to ask for a gaming chair for my desk as the one I have now is broken and worn out. I would like to spend around $200, but $250 is the max if \

its really worth it. I would like a racing style chair like a DxRacer but those are very expensive. My color theme is black and red, so a chair in those colors would be best.

What's the best chair I can get for around that price that's comfortable, stylish, and will last a long time? I am 5'10 190lbs if that matters.

 

Thanks for any help

In my opinion "gaming chairs" aren't worth the money. I have a simple black, padded, and very comfy office chair that looks fine with my neutral (black/white with LED accents) setup. The chair I own is great and I've sat in "gaming chairs" before and not noticed a difference besides looks. If you're set on getting a gaming chair for the looks I can't help you as I have no good recommendations.

I mostly want a racing style one because of the high back and headrest, because I always slouch in my chair now so I can rest my head but I know this is bad for my back

The chair I own has a high back and a headrest as well. I found it for around $75.  I would recommend trying to correct your posture in the meantime as you don't want back issues when you're older. You might want to go to a Staples or Office Depot as well as anywhere where they have gaming chairs so you can try them for yourself. I think that chair comfort has a lot to do with opinion and I don't know any specific chairs to recommend.

My father bought me a high end office chair, with everything you can imagine, I must say its quality is a lot superior to generic racing gaming chairs, I understand that a good looking chair is an excellent aesthetic add to the desktop however I can safely tell you that for the price of one your back, posture and comfort will appreciate if you went with the good office style stuff.

Buy a used chair from "Ergon" their chairs are heavens above any other office chair. Especially those UGLY STUPID CHEAPLY MADE RACING BUCKET CHAIRS. Everyone will GENUINELY feel stupid 5yrs from now when they think about the hideous retarded chairs they spent their money on... RIP to that FAD when its over. Cant stress how foolish it is. Kinda the same way that anyone rocking a car that looks like something out of the "fast and the furious 1" looks like a total thumb sitting tool nowadays when driving it...yeah well its the same principle.
