DXRacer Drifting Gaming Chair Review

The DXRacer Drifting is a very basic gaming chair, it does have the basic adjustable features that you would expect on a gaming chair, but it is one word, ‘basic’. The appearance is more subtle than many others available, which may be a beneficial factor for some. If you’re looking for something that is reliable and isn’t going to break the bank, then the Drifting might suit you. The chair’s extra padding is great for extended use and should remain comfortable for periods of up to 8 hours of use at a time. Although the chair does offer comfort and style, it may not be as heavy duty as others available. For example, the maximum user weight limit is much less than more expensive models, and the armrests are not as high quality and can sometimes be a bit wobbly.

Design Alternatives & Original Accessories

3. The Drifting is a very basic chair as gaming chairs go, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Although you won’t find a leg rest option or 4D armrests, it is clear that the chair has been built well, and with comfort in mind. The Drifting is a reasonably large chair but is let down with its lower weight limit, it does, however, recline to 170 degrees, which is redeeming feature. The only adjustments you will be able to make to the armrests are moving them up and down, this is rather limiting. In addition to this, users can adjust the height and angle of the backrest. These are the basic adjustments most people need to make, but if you have any medical conditions, such as arthritis, or back problems, then the basic adjustments may not suffice. The quality of the chair overall is high as are most chairs on offer from DXRacer, and although it has the bucket seat design, it does look more subtle than many others that area available. As with all chairs in the range, the Drifting has a gas lift system and quick adjustment levers. Users can also expect the five prong, star design base which boasts floor friendly casters. This chair is recommended to those that don’t mind spending a little bit more for a basic chair and want to invest something of higher quality than a standard office chair. If purchased in the right colour, it wouldn’t look out of place in an office, there are also a good range of colours available for those wanting something a bit more stylish.

Design Alternatives & Original Accessories

The DXRacer Drifting can be purchased in five different colours, suiting a number of environments. For those looking for the most basic and least ‘out there’ colour scheme, then black is probably the best choice. Those who prefer a motor racing feel can choose from orange and white, a grey and black tyre pattern, or a red and black tyre pattern. The chair also comes in a green and white colour which would look great in most gaming rooms. Unlike others on the market, the colour of the base is black on all of the chairs regardless of what colour you choose for the overall design of the chair.

Those looking for accessories can add the additional neck and lumbar cushions to provide extra support, these are both available as extras.

Drifting Series Size Guide

This is a large chair but isn’t great for large bodies. With a maximum weight limit of only 120 Kilos, those who carry a bit of extra weight may wish to go for a more heavy duty option. For those of average build though it should be okay. If you are a bit taller, then you may not be satisfied, it’s generally best for those between 1.6 and 1.8 metres in height.
