In a world full of knock off products designed to look like the real McCoy, it’s tough trying to find a straight cut gaming chair that isn’t going to eat one’s wallet. Enter Nitro Concepts with their S300 Gaming Chair line.
Take A Seat
Nitro Concepts are all about a no-frills, comfortable and affordable product, and it shows in the S300. Opting for the stealth black option rewards players with a comfortable yet tough fabric cover, which feels breathable alongside the moulded foam cushioning. There are leather effect options available, but S300 stands out from the competition more as a fabric alternative to more prominent brands.
Included are lumbar and neck supports, with the former not feeling necessary at all. The back isn’t a flat surface but ergonomically moulded to hug one’s spine for extended playtimes. Its 3D armrests feel sturdy and comfortable, foregoing hard plastic seen in cheaper gaming chairs for a firm foam top plate.
Firm Yet Comfortable
With a nice backwards recline to catch a wink during break times, Nitro Concepts has your back when it comes to build quality. Everything feels like it’s in the correct position, composed of suitable materials and would survive a nuclear fallout (It wouldn’t survive Fallout 76, no one did). The back and height levers are sturdy with great accuracy, bite and action.
Speaking of packaging, Nitro Concepts have made construction easy. The height adjustment covers just about everyone’s stature, with the wheelbase radius being just the right size not to catch one’s toes or feet whilst swirling around the office or games room. It does what it says on the tin (or massive box in this case) and delivers. The precise holes matching the back support alongside the care taken to ensure the material isn’t overlapping were impressive.
Overall, The S300 is a smart move for any homeworker or gamer looking for a comfortable chair at an affordable price (currently under £250). It’s ergonomically sound, supportive and serves as the benchmark of how a budget gaming chair should look and feel.
