As if it wasn’t enough to be able to spend thousands of euros on completely exorbitant keyboards, and the same could be said for monitors, heatsinks, graphics cards, RAM, and any worthwhile gaming components or peripherals, the market has now begun to exploit the chairs.
Yes, we always needed a chair to sit down and work/play. And in the market itself, the chairs were better and worse. Ten years ago there was nothing better than a good office chair. Reliable, comfortable and sober. Now in vogue chairs for gamers.
This means they have RGB lighting, are shaped like a sports car seat, and bulge out almost like a chair. If your office is small, then even entering is not convenient. Well, the market, being wise, decided to do double or nothing about it. Here are some examples:
