A used DXRACER or however it is spelled is the way to go. I used one at my friends house and it felt like I was sitting on Gods ass himself

Yea I bought a DX Racer Racing series a few months ago, it has been a huge improvement over my previous chair (I had a surgery about a year ago that makes sitting on most chairs quite painful for extended periods, I have never had issues with this chair.)

Don't buy a "Gaming" branded chair, I would look into a high quality office chair (+1000) used from a office supply store.  If you live near a large city you can typically find office supply stores who will sell used chairs from 200 - 400, depending on model/condition, which will be vastly superior to a gaming "racer" chair  and cheaper.  I got a Aeron for 200 used, in great shape... best bang for buck I could get.

I have a Maxnomic Blue Leader. I love it.

 

1. Maxnomic has great customer service. I don't have the same level of confidence in DXRacer.

2. At 5' 11", the Blue Leader is too tall for you. At the lowest setting your legs will probably dangle. If you choose that model, request the short cylinder.

3. Overall great chair. Durable, comfortable,and good for posture.

 

Cheers.
