A chair with cables. I cant imagine how many times you will roll over those cables with the chair's wheels.

Wait a second!!!! I could have sworn I said this months ago!!! As I did with the RGB in chairs.

I first called it with RBG now I called it again with putting fans in the chairs for active cooling.

Now its only a matter of time for them to make the chair rechargeable to power the fans. Then a year later bump it up a bit where the seat and back rest has integrated liquid cooling, and start selling different size/type of wheels, arm rests, neck rests for customizability to "make it yours".

This is the perfect roadmap to milk out customers for every penny when they are unaware.

I'm still holding out for a Boston Dynamics racing chair...

I suspect it might also be quieter than this thing running with four fans at 5100RPM. : 3

With the chair preventing a sweaty butt and the Tt eSPORTS mouse with internal fan preventing a sweaty hand, someone needs to make a hat to prevent a sweaty brow.

The solar powered hats with fans aren't going to work indoors.

They should've come up with fart absorbers or an ass vacuum. Maybe next year model will have those features for $600.

My kid had a gaming chair. It was a rocker style we got from Walmart that had built in speakers, volume control, even an extension port that plugged into various Nintendo/ps/Xbox units so your wired controller wasn't stretched to the max. None of which was ever hooked up since she used the surround sound, wireless controller etc. $100 gimmick that was less comfortable than a $15 bean bag.

Not a fan.

$500 for a seat with PU Leather. Yea, I think they missed the most important part of a chair.

I like it when my ass heats up my chair.. I always have my AC on. Just to cool my PC. *air cooled* I know what a loser i am! Still haven't dived into water cooling. But i love my warm ass chair with my AC blowing heheh

Are we going to end up with Homer Simpson's Reclining Chair Toilet combo ??

 

[Karadjgne]

No. That model didn't come with a beer cooler. For $500, not having instant access to a cold one is a crime. I'd rather have a warm butt and cold beer than a cold butt and warm beer any day.

$500? Does it put itself together?

It seems like a good idea, and if you've ever owned a car with active cooling in the seats, it does help. However, the fan noise and a cable from my chair to the wall are deal-breakers even if it wasn't overpriced and branded by a company known for putting their brand on cheap garbage.

My Charger has both heated and cooled seats, front and rear. Leather. Didn't really notice much, if any, real benefit to the cooling, even when temps hit close to 100F in the summer, but right now with temps in the low 30'sF, heated seats are nice.
