What chair does Linus use?

The one in the WAN show. What chair is it?

I'm 95% sure it is a Maxnomic chair from NeedForSeat, but I'm not entirely sure of the model. I think Luke had the XL and Linus has the Dominator, but I can't seem to find the video detailing that so I'm just guessing off of memory...

 

Just to note, while it seems like Linus actually did try several and pick the best chair (kudos to him for not entirely selling out on it), I believe these were sponsored chairs given to them for promotion so that people see the chair, think it is cool and Linus uses it, so that is the chair they should buy. In my personal opinion, and as one who doesn't have tons of spare money laying around but still has learned it is worth it to buy a $500+ office chair, every gamery cool L33T racing chair I have tried is terrible in comparison to an actual office chair from the likes of Steelcase or Herman Miller. (Side note, I work for an office supply company so I'm a little biased in this opinion).

 

I've seen Steelcase Leaps on Craigslist for ~$100, literally no chair out there will come close to that price/performance. My Leap is nearly 20 years old now, and its still an extremely nice chair and looks brand new other than some minor wear on the arm rests.
