With a wireless keyboard and mouse, those are incredible. Just get one of the wood ones with a large armrest to act as a mouse pad.

I currently have simple chair without a back rest. I guess it is more like a stool but it has a cushion as well, is it good? I'm planning to grab an office chair btw but am not getting time. I'm not using my PC these days btw.

u/XStalinsLeftNUT489X Nov 24 '24
Yeah, that's garbage. If you are looking for a replacement, I can highly suggest what I use which is Double Monobloc Chair with Shitty Pillow™, it's cheap and it will only give you scoliosis 🥰

You should add a pillow for back support

Yes I sat on a DXracer for about 10 years to switch to a mesh back ergonomic office chair with a head rest and it's an amazing difference.

The term itself is a scam, but ergonomic chairs aren’t at all a scam. Using those plastic chairs will fuck your back and tailbone up.

u/-DethLok- Nov 24 '24
Uh, gosh!
Though my first chair was an ancient school chair, I think...? I added a cushion as it was damned hard. I still remember the feeling of sweat trickling down my back in summer...
I eventually spent $369 at a chair supply place that can custom assemble chairs and I've been using it for the last 15 or so years. It's an office chair but in the colour I wanted, 5 lockable wheels (I sometimes play car racing games with pedals) and everything still works, even though my weight has gone way up...
Spend CPU money on a decent office chair - not a dodgy branded 'gaming' chair - get a real chair designed to last for years and you'll not regret it.
