Seeming every major gaming company has released a "gaming chair" over the past few years, and Thermaltake is the latest brand to jump on the bandwagon. That said, Thermaltake is taking a different approach to its competitors, decided to release a chair design that's fundamentally different from typical "gaming chair" varieties. Meet the Thermaltake CyberChair E500

Where most gaming chairs take design cues from the automotive industry, Thermaltake is taking its design cues from mesh seating like the world-famous Herman Miller Aerion. With mesh cushioning, Thermaltake's gaming chair is truly breathable and offers styling that's more professional looking than many racing-style chairs. 

Thermaltake promises a wide range of adjustment options for its new CyberChair E500, promising "high adjustability ranging from headrest, seat depth, height adjustment, and wire-control mechanism with multi lockable positions to reach maximum comfort." Furthermore, the chair can accommodate users that weigh up to 330 lb (150kg) thanks to its sturdy frame and aluminium base. 

The CyberChair E500 will be available in Q1 2020 with a retail price of $599.99 in the US. The chair will be available at Thermaltake's online store and though partnered retailers. 


Personally I like the design but almost 600 dollars for this chair is far too much money. 
 

if it is built to last & comfortable .... then the quality could make what appears too be expensive actually a good value
 
 its not hard to spend over $600 for a quality office chair ...

What's the difference between gaming chairs and high quality office chairs? I assumed it was the style, but if that's taken away... how is it a gaming chair? Because of it's brand?

It looks similar to the chair I sit in I have a Steel Case Office Chair. Bought when a business was sealing out. Come to out when I got home the when it was new cost over a 1000.00. All I can it a serious chair really comfortable......

I agree that the price seems to be high for a home use chair. An office chair though can be very expensive for a good quality but a lot of offices have people who will come out and take measurements when buying the high end office chairs to make sure it's a great fit and good ergonomic support for the employee. 

I love my DX Racer! One of the best accessories I have purchased for my gaming setup.
