Followers of the Natus Vincere esports crew can be very excited to listen to of Andaseat’s new Na’Vi Version gaming chair. The truth is, anybody who finds pleasure within the wild world of vibrant colored upholstery, but remains to be grounded sufficient to heed the significance of ergonomics, will respect this canary yellow racing model gaming chair. And though it is basically only a Na’Vi themed aesthetic for the Dark Demon gaming chair we reviewed final yr, for slightly bit extra money, it brings a welcome blast of sunshine to the extraordinary, nail-biting world of esports fandom.

Max rec. top: 200cm
Max weight, static: 170kg
Recline: 160°
Materials: PVC Leather-based
Armrests: 4D

Launch worth: $450 (£370)
After all, probably the most notable factor about this chair is its color. There are only a few high-end gaming chairs in full-on banana glow PVC leather-based, however someway Andaseat has pulled it off. For anybody who streams, vlogs, or in any other case reveals off their seating association, it is definitely a speaking level. Plus, seeing this golden throne each morning for the previous week has given me a pleasant little temper carry.
If you happen to’re not into the entire dazzling lemon aesthetic, there is a barely extra reserved model accessible in black, with just a few small, yellow adornments. It is not bought the identical head-turning means as its sister chair, but it surely’s definitely bought extra aptitude than the unique, smooth black Darkish Demon gaming chair.
In contrast to the Darkish Demon, with its 139cm most top, the Na’Vi Version is on the market solely in massive, at 200cm max top. That is nice for taller esports followers with a wider construct, and it even helps as much as 170kg of weight, however for smol folks like me, it may be slightly awkward.
The again help is nice irrespective of your top, and though I really feel like taller could be higher, the included lumbar help and neck pillow do allow you to regulate the chair to swimsuit you. The pillows themselves are comfortable as effectively, however slightly awkward to connect and regulate. At this worth, I used to be anticipating built-in lumbar help, actually.
The difficulty with the chair’s dimension primarily manifests within the armrest distance. Regardless of them being 4D adjustable, and bolted to the underside as near centre as attainable, I can not comfortably sort with out having one arm hanging beside the armrest. The result’s this uneven posture that I am certain is not doing me any favours.
Speaking of the armrests, they’re additionally a bit doubtful. If you happen to use them to push your self up, they will pivot from the strain, with out you needing to press a button first—it is a pet peeve that the remainder of the {hardware} crew can attest to after watching me flail round at work over it, and it may be fairly harmful. In any other case, they’re secure sufficient and, though they don’t include any cushioning, they have nice adjustability to fit your wants.
Sadly, in case your wants contain retaining the price of your setup down, this is probably not the chair for you. At $450, it is solely $50 lower than the Secretlab Titan Evo, at present on the high of our best gaming chair record, and when you may get one thing premium just like the Secretlab Omega for $100 much less these days, the Na’Vi begins to sound much less like an excellent funding—notably for these whose shoulders aren’t broad as some.
On the similar time, it’s a uncommon factor to discover a first rate gaming chair that attends to these with acquired tastes in upholstery color. And whereas there are many premium gaming chairs that allow you to showcase your favorite superhero, or sport sequence, that is the one one that allows you to bask within the full Na’Vi aesthetic, full with participant stats and crosshair. For the ‘Obsessed We,’ that is the chair to personal, simply do not anticipate it to return low-cost.
