In over a year of use, I’ve only found two quibbles with this chair. First, people shorter than 5’9″ may find the seat too deep for their legs. The Kaiser 3 is an interesting alternative to the Titan for casual users without strict posture demands. AndaSeat has been designing and developing gaming chairs since 2007 so even this more budget-friendly option benefits from the company’s years of experience creating comfortable, ergonomic chairs.

Second, if you want to sit with sharp upright neutral postures, you’re better off buying a Titan Evo — or a high-end ergonomic office chair. However, most people choose gaming chairs because they don’t want to sit in formal, office-style postures. The Kaiser 3 best supports long desk work sessions with a more relaxed 110° recline. Additionally, the wide design makes it ideal for anyone who is of a bigger build but those of a slimmer stature might find it a little uncomfortable and imposing. One thing I really like about AndaSeat PVC is its softness and breathability. I use (premium) Kaiser 3 and (budget) Phantom 3 chairs in tropical climates with no issues. A closeup of the luscious, decedent Kaiser 3 Creamy Pink PVC. Like, I’ve sat in chairs with footrest under my calves and closer to my knees, it was uncomfortable. I was hoping for a longer or adjustable footrest. The footrest is covered in the same velvet as on the sides of the chair, and I've got to say, having velvet on the footrest feels weird. I’m also not a huge fan of velvet. And it's not a plush velvet, either; it’s closer to a crushed thin velvet. The velvet makes the chair look more posh but doesn’t add to the feel. Aim for your lumbar support to hit just above your beltline. That’s all you need to ensure consistent good posture in this chair.Anda Seat says this chair is designed for people up to 6 feet 5.6 inches tall (200cm), but you need to be well under six foot to fully appreciate the Dark Demon. Attach the lumbar support and the usable seat pan depth is significantly reduced. It makes taller people feel as if they’re perched towards the seat's edge. Based on my tests, I’ve revised the size rating for the large-sized chair. People shorter than my 5’9″ size may find the seat too deep for their legs. L-R: a good seat depth (nice gap behind the knees) vs a seat that’s too deep. As a reference, the above shot shows a 6’5″ (195 cm) user in a (discontinued) Anda Seat T-Pro II Big & Tall chair. Users sized 6’5″ or taller may find a similar gap behind their knees — a perfectly usable depth for tall guys. Frontier XL Chair Specifications The Frontier XL chair has the same features as the Kaiser 2 — with a standard tilt rather than a multifunction one. Contrary to common belief, foam density doesn’t always equate to firmness. High-density foams can be soft, while low-density ones can be stiff.

You can tell Anda Seat has previously manufactured race car seats for the likes of BMW and Mercedes Benz as the Dark Demon has a similar form factor compared to many racing-style chairs. AndaSeat claims its AD+ materials are more durable and (for the upholstery) stain-resistant than comparable gaming chair materials. The faux leather feels fairly sturdy, though it isn’t nearly as smooth or supple as the material found on the sides of the Cooler Master Caliber R1S or Secretlab Titan EVO 2022, and actually feels slightly more coarse than the faux leather we’ve seen on other gaming chairs. While the velvet is nice, I found the fabric on the Cooler Master Caliber X1C to be nearly as soft to touch. I can’t attest to the materials' long-term durability, but you can expect the Jungle 2 to be vulnerable to cats like all faux leather chairs. If you want claw resistance, look for a fabric chair. Chairs are available in seven premium PU leather styles and two fabric ones. Kaiser 3 Series PU leather styles. Summary Of Features Where it stands apart from others is in its adjustable armrests. You can adjust the armrests using levers underneath to accommodate your arm height. The rests are not covered in memory foam, but I found that they still relieved wrist pressure and helped keep my arms straight, allowing me to game for longer. And while they are hard, they’re not too hard to rest your elbows on long term. The Anda Seat Dark Demon has 4D arms that are, as far as we can tell, almost identical to those of the more expensive Fnatic Edition.

Great design, narrow seat

From a hammer to the frame to coffee spills and even unleashing a destructive five-month-old puppy on the chair failed to leave even a hint of a mark. The pad tops are made of very high density foam, for just a little bit of “give”, and the kinds of adjustment here are what you’ll find on some of the most expensive office chairs. We are fans of gaming chairs that recline an ostentatious amount. The Anda Seat Dark Demon can go from dead upright to 160-degree recline, so you’re almost lying flat. Bliss. If you’ve never used an ergonomic chair before, why splash out on a high-end power chair? The Phantom 3 lets you start your ergonomic journey with an affordable price and intuitive features. Raise your Phantom 3 pillow a few inches above the seat for best results. However, the gas lift is a little weak, meaning you need to take your entire weight off the seat before it will rise. Such gas lifts can lose their power over time too (we’re talking years here), and this isn't a great starting point.
