Can vouch for DXRacers as well. Bought one not too long ago and I really love it. Well, for starters just like people here say it depends on how much you are willing to spend? Then there is the issue of how much you weigh and how tall are you? Also how long do you spend gaming? Depending on the answer you might not even need quality gaming chairs like DXRacer, GT Omega or AKRacing. To be honest there is a good bunch of things you should consider before buying anything. There is really not enough information to go by. Back when I was researching all this a guy on some forum recommended me to read up on http://www.gamingchairsxp.com/. It eventually got me sold on my DXRacer. You can find all of the information you need to find yourself a good chair there. It's a decent sized read but if you don't want to miss out on anything you should go ahead and read up. There are a lot of good recommendations too, even for "fat ass size" as a wise man once said Heard that GT Omegas are good for people with past injuries too, just as bagsta69 said. It was a military guy I think with spine and wrist injuries. Anyway DXRacers should be just as good but each of their series are for a different size of "ass" (they do that so each one fits you like a glove) so be careful not to forget to check out the recommended height and weight. Buck Nasssty, you should just buy another cylinder, all of the higher-end gaming chairs mostly use the same Class 4 (high-quality) cylinders so you are not really winning by buying a new chair. It's not like DXRacers build their height gas-springs, just bad luck on your end. Hope this helps!
