i personally really like my opseat.  Wasnt that expensive compared to the major brands and comes in a wide variety of colors.  Was easy to assemble and have not had anyissues so far in the little over a year that i have had it.  I have the master series as well.

I dont know about the chairs mentioned above, but I find Executive chairs to be way more comfy than almost any gaming chair on the market. More effort put into comfort and looks and aesthetic.

I was in the same situation man right before quarantine, needed a new chair for work at home and gaming. When I was searching for chairs i came across a really logical comment, "all gaming chairs are modeled after the dxracer, and the dxracer was modeled after racing chairs." Racing chairs aren't meant for comfortable sitting over long periods of time, they're meant for racing. Getting an office or executive chair is the best bet, they're specifically designed for people to sit in all day. Two words "used aeron" Herman Miller Aeron retails for like $1000 but you can grab a used one like I did for like $200-$400, it comes in 3 sizes for different body builds so you have to choose the one that's best for you. It uses this mesh backing with either an optional lumbar support of posture fix attachment. It isnt like any other chair, it was weird to sit in at first but after a day and a half you won't be able to sit in any other chair.

after reviewing all my options I think ill go with the ErgoChair 2 for 350$ 30 day trial and a year warranty isn't bad.

A good used (or new) Steelcase Leap etc is a nice choice too.
