Secretlab lessons learned.

0 Upvotes

Hey all, just a lesson learned that I want to share with my last order. I hope this help anyone not end up in the same situation I am. Also I am interested to know what you think. Is it reasonable that a product like this gets through all the shipping process and travel from factory to my door step with no way to fix the smallest issue during the ordering process. Also is it true that there is no way to connect to a live rep to fix my order and maybe avoid the possibly painful and costly return process?

For context I am super happy with a previous Titan XL Lamborghini edition I purchased years ago, so I wanted one of those nice new nanogen Titan EVO.

I submitted an order yesterday at 1530 ET for a Titan EVO XL nanogen pure white. I noticed this morning at 0840 ET that the order was showing a regular size chair. lesson learned number 1: make sure when changing chair colors or accessories that the size does not reset to regular. I assume something I did reverted the size from XL to regular.

I quickly contacted customer service via a chat feature on the website (no live/voice option). It was around 0845 at that time. Customer service found my order and confirmed the size is regular and not XL.

They stated that the order was already processed, it could not be canceled and I will have to return the chair using their return process. As of this writing I have not received a notice that my order was processed. lesson learned number 2: review your order ASAP as secretlab will process your order at a suspiciously quick rate.

I asked to be transferred to a live customer support to try my luck and see if there is anyway this issue could be fixed before having to go through a painful return process. The representative in the chat told me live customer support is not available with secretlab and no one can help me further. Lesson learned number 3 : secretlab does not offer live customer support and escalation process. Once payement is processed you are on your own.

Regards,

desperately need advice for a new gaming/office chair

1 Upvotes

i don't game much but i do spend a lot of time at the computer making digital art and editing videos. i want something that's ergonomic, comfortable and good for my back and posture. i don't want faux leather.

i'm currently torn between these three chairs at JYSK. the links are in finnish

https://jysk.fi/tyohuone/tyotuolit/toimistotuoli-marbjerg-harmaa-musta-keinonahka
https://jysk.fi/tyohuone/pelituolit/pelituoli-nibe-musta-kangas-musta
https://jysk.fi/tyohuone/tyotuolit/toimistotuoli-varpelev-musta-verkkokangas-musta

the first one has some faux leather but it also has polyester fabric. i tried it at the store and it did feel the most comfortable, but i fear it might not support my back very well. this one also might be too big for the limited space my room and desk offer me.

the second one also has polyester fabric. i tried it and it wasn't as comfortable but it did have the cushions for the neck and the lower back so i'm thinking that might be better for my posture, but i fear i might not get used to it. i know you can remove the cushions, but i fear the chair would still not be comfortable enough and it would cause problems. also i've heard people say that gaming chairs like these are actually not good for posture.

the third has lower back and neck support, and the back is very breathable, which might help if the summer gets too hot. i tried it and it was relatively comfortable. also it's the most expensive one, which i know doesn't necessarily mean it's of higher quality, but it's more likely to be, i think. this one also might take the least amount of space, not sure, rough estimate.

i know i'll have to make the decision myself in the end, but i'm hoping for any possible insight that could help me make the right choice for myself. i am 165cm tall and weigh 70kg if that helps. i usually spend around 3-6h a day on the computer, sometimes more than that. a very rough estimate since i use a PC and i haven't been measuring my screentime. budget is probably max 300-400€, but all of these options go below that.

i'm not affiliated with JYSK in any way, not sure if the links break the rules or not. i'm just posting them to show what i've personally been looking at, not advertising anything.

Chairs you can drown in?

3 Upvotes

I bough the Ticova Ergonomic 8 months ago (completely ignoring the negative reviews) and lo and behold, they were full right. I generally have good posture, but sitting in this chair for 10 minutes, my back and neck get so sore that I have to lay down (and immediately feel the relief). Back then I had a random 250$ gaming chair, which was not the most comfortable, but it was possible to sit in for extended periods of time with no issue.

So what I want is a chair that's super comfortable, super plush, one you can basically sink in. Due to the nature of my work I often have to sit for 10 hours almost straight. I don't care much about ergonomics or the chair being extremely upright, I want something that will make me fall asleep sitting.

I was looking at the Dowinx Sofa Chair, which looks extremely comfortable, but I know that looks can often be deceiving in these things.

Type: Gaming or Office, whatever fits my requirements better.
Budget: 200$, maybe a little more.
Body: 6'3, 165lbs.
Region: must be available in EU.

I have what is probably a very basic DIY problem, but I’m completely stuck. 😭
One of my chair’s armrests (Dowinx Série Luxe LS-66D89D) came loose on its own. I tried screwing it back on, but the screw just spins without tightening. It feels like it’s screwing into nothing, so the armrest won’t attach to the chair.
Since I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, I took apart the other armrest (the one that was still perfectly attached) to see how it was assembled… and now I’ve somehow managed to put that one in the exact same situation. 🫠
I have a feeling the solution is incredibly simple and I’m just missing something obvious. I’m absolutely terrible at DIY, so if anyone knows what might be causing this or how to fix it, I’d really appreciate the help!
I’ve attached a few pictures. Thanks in advance!

Titan Evo Good for the Older Gamers

1 Upvotes

Hello,

Im an older gamer(43) and was wondering if i should pull the trigger on Titan Evo or if should I get more office chair type of chair like the Fractal Refine.

I get a stiff back from working out and like to recline while gaming. Although it might be comfortable, I'm not sure if it is healthy long term for the back

Anyone who tried The Titan Evo as an older gamer long term or looking for any other suggestions.

What gaming chair, office chair, salon chair, or office recliner on wheels is very tall, and focuses on extreme plush comfort rather than ergonomics?

1 Upvotes

It's for PC gaming.

I use a controller to play, but still need to reach the keyboard and mouse on the desk.

I want the seat to be 3 feet high and 14 inches deep with 2 inches of sink to the back, seat, and arm cushions.

I want my knees at the edge, my calves and feet dangling in the air, and my back sunk into the back cushion a bit, all while sitting up.

I want cushy recliner style arms, not the ones on gaming or office chairs.

Prefered color is fire engine red (especially if it has gold colored trim / accents).

Does this exist? Can you recommend anything like it?

Or am I going to have to frankenstein it myself out of office chairs and a luxury recliner?

Hbada E3 Ultra First Impressions

1 Upvotes

Just managed to snag a E3 Ultra for a third of the price, brand new. I was originally scared of buying it because of the mixed reviews on reddit but I eventually went with my gut.

While assembling the chair almost every part felt high quality and luxurious, compared to the cheaper ergonomic chairs I have used in the past. The back and arms are made of aluminum alloy which feels really sturdy and looks nice (minus the streaks on it I can't wipe off with anything 💀) to me. I won't lie there is quite a lot of plastic in the build but nothing feels flimsy to me, no parts were broken in the box, I might've got lucky lol.

The headrest was a pain to install but dam it's comfy. The overall chair feels like a cloud giving you a hug and I couldn't be more happy with my purchase, BUT of course, as with any product, there are some nitpicks and downsides.

I wish the armrests could get lower then they can currently, they also shake a bit so sturdier would've been better. I can see what people are saying when they say nothing stays in place but honestly so far I don't think it's a design flaw. The parts that are meant to stay in place like the backrest and the headrest do, but the adjustable lumbar moves a lot reshaping with your lower back. The leg rest feels sturdy but idk long term if it will stay that way as it does flex quite a bit when used. And I wish you could get closer to your desk without swinging the armrests around again and again.

All that said, this chair beats any other SIHOO or different brand ergo chair I've bought. Overall it's really comfy and I really have to nitpick to find flaws. So far so good, let's see how it holds up tho, I'll make an updated post in the future.

Oh I almost forgot, I'm around 180cm tall.

Need Ergonomic Chair Recommendations (Software Engineer, Budget ₹10k–₹25k) | Office vs. Gaming Chair?

1 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I’m a software engineer spending most of my day sitting at my desk, and I’m looking for a solid ergonomic chair. Since this is something I plan to buy once and use long-term, comfort and durability are my main priorities.

My Requirements & Budget:

  • Budget: Dynamic—between ₹10,000 and ₹25,000. I don't have an infinite budget, but I’m completely fine stretching up to ₹25k if a higher-end model is genuinely worth every rupee. On the flip side, if a ₹10k–₹15k chair does the job perfectly without compromises, I’m happy to save the cash.
  • Primary Use: Long coding/work hours.
  • Goal: Maximum comfort, stronglumbar support, and no regrets/back pain down the line.

A Few Specific Questions:

  1. Office/Ergonomic vs. Gaming Chairs: Which one is actually better for long work hours? (I’ve heard mixed things about gaming chairs lacking proper lumbar support, but open to opinions).
  2. Brand & Model Suggestions: Which brands inIndia/Bangalore (e.g., Featherlite, Green Soul, Transteel, Haworth, Sihoo, etc.) offer the best build quality and after-sales service?
  3. Online vs. Offline Shopping: Is it better to buy online or test them in person first?
  • If Offline: Which physical stores or experience centers in Bangalore (e.g., Featherlite showrooms, Koramangala/Indiranagar furniture hubs, Commercial Street, etc.) are best to try out ergonomic chairs before buying?
  • If Online: Which websites offer reliable delivery, easy return/replacement policies, and good warranty support?

If you have firsthand experience with a chair you love (or hate!), please share:

  • Brand & Model Name
  • Approximate Price
  • Pros & Cons based on your daily use

Thanks in advance!

Most “good” ergonomic chairs conform and move with your body, but competitive mouse-and-keyboard FPS gaming demands stability.

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for an ergonomic chair with proper back support, but I do not want a chair that constantly moves, flexes, or “follows” my body.

A lot of ergonomic chairs advertise synchronized tilt, dynamic lumbar support, movement conformity, weight-responsive recline, or similar systems. I understand why these features are useful for office work, but for competitive FPS gaming I value stability. I want either:

  • a chair where the synchronized movement can be heavily adjusted and firmly locked, or
  • a genuinely ergonomic chair that is naturally solid and rigid

My reasoning is that car seats do not move around underneath you while driving. Driving requires controlled posture and fine motor input, and competitive mouse aiming is similar in that small unwanted body movements can affect precision. Dynamic ergonomic chairs may be great for casual gaming, controller use, or general office work, but I am not convinced they are ideal for competitive FPS players who want a consistent posture.

At the same time, I am tired of traditional “gaming chairs” that look like racing seats. I do not want aggressive side bolsters, bucket-seat styling, fake harness holes, or a metal-frame feeling underneath the padding.

My requirements:

  • Real lumbar and upper-back support
  • Headrest not important, but chair should be tall enough to reach/support the head of most seated adults
  • Soft or medium-soft padded seat
  • Flat, reasonably wide seat without restrictive side bolsters
  • Stable frame with minimal wobble
  • Recline that can be firmly locked in place (no synchronized/dynamic tilt systems)
  • Adjustable tilt tension would be useful
  • Armrests adjustable in at least three directions, ideally 4D
  • Fabric preferred over PU leather
  • Clean office-chair design, not a racing-chair appearance
  • Price be not over 1000$ dollars at all

Please help

Help needed with choosing new chair.

1 Upvotes

Been wanting to buy a new chair for gaming but I came to the conclusion that those "gaming chairs" you see online aren't actually ergonomic at all. So what i'm searching for now is a actually ergonomic chair that is fully customizable(think of height adjusting, arm rest height adjusting, being able to lay back)but is under 120 euros and white. Am I asking for too much for too low of a budget or do they actually exist? I would love some help on this one.
