It’s one step stupider than that. Race seats are not made for helping you focus, they’re made to keep you physically in place during high g-force situations.
it’s like how all shoes had to have huge heels, after stirrups for horses became a thing and thus riders started wearing riding shoes.
The heels aren’t useful for walking, they literally only exist to hook onto stirrups, it’s insane.
i wish i’d pulled the seats out of my old talon when it got totaled. those seats fit me like a glove. I’d’ve build my own office chair out of them if i could.
Really? I’m not super tall but the headrest on mine is already borderline too low. The optional head pad sits at my neck which isn’t ideal. Also are roller blade wheels seriously a thing? Why would anyone want that, how do you move the chair sideways?
Rollerblade wheels are great for hardwood floors, so they don’t damage them. They also feel nicer to move around on. Plastic casters are just shit in general.
And like each wheel is replaced by a single rollerblade wheel. I have a desk and two work benches in my office, so the thought was that I could roll easily between them.
But what ended up happening is any slight movement means I roll.
Ah yeah I guess if the wheels could still rotate freely that could work in theory, I feel like in practice though it would either roll too easily like you said, or if the wheels were unaligned, get stuck or have difficulty rolling in some directions. I’m picturing like a shopping cart. I also have a thick carpet where my desk is though so it might work better on tile or wood.
Yeah, gaming chairs aren’t great for being comfy since they are modelled after race seats which are made to make you focus

they’re made to help you not fucking snap your neck, hence the massive wings on the sides hugging your head
Gamer force?
They are also designed to be reclined when in use, not upright, which is horrible for working with a computer.
Then that’s even more stupid 😭
Race seats are designed to hold you in place in high g corners, and keep you safe in a crash. Don’t know why anyone uses one at their computer.

They look like most sneakers these days.
Grotesk monstrosities
They’re great if you’re tall, though. I love mine, but I really wish I hadn’t done the roller blade wheel upgrade.

I actually like having the head pad at my neck.

I love mine too. It’s great for my back, but I get why others find them uncomfortable.
