New gaming chair is making me play like trash in every game.

[RustyZotax]

I assumed getting a 'gaming chair' for gaming would make me play better and be great, but no. First off it leans back so I can't stay in a good position, and the arm rests don't go where I want them to go. I'm doing trash in everything: fortnite, csgo, rust, r6, EVERYTHING. like wtf? A $9 chair makes me get LEM anda $467 gaming chair gets me s4? I guess I aint goin back to cs

I've heard of people blaming their controllers for their lack of skill, but never their chair before.

Gaming chairs can't help you play better. They're just expensive chairs targeted at gamers with a design focus on being something you can comfortably sit in for hours on end. Some of the more fancy ones put speakers or other electronics right into the chair but that's really all they do.

The chair doesn't "let you" anything. Aside from possibly sit without getting a sore butt for longer.

No seriously, your chair has nothing at all to do with this. However: like buying a new pair of shoes and expecting to be able to walk 3 miles without issue, your body has to get used to the newness and differences.

So if you're sitting differently, as long as it's *comfortable*, you will get used to it.

In the mean time, don't blame your crappy performance on a chair. That's just sad.

a chair isn't going to magically make you play better, nor is it going to make you worse.. its a chair, not a super computer attached to your skull pushing information directly into your brain

I can't believe that people thinks a chair could make a difference
I hope it is a joke btw

Well fairly they ARE often sold with the whole "shiny oooh look performance spend your money on us because we're proooooosssss" thing. The Titan I'm in right now is certainly a much better chair than the regular old office chair I had in my prior house. but it definitely takes some getting used to and some adjustment. It's not going to just magically make your butt settle properly.

Jesus. You people say that I'm saying a chair is making me bad. First off I'm a professional fortnite player, and if I go on a different chair and I play like ♥♥♥♥ for 4 days straight, something is wrong. If I switch to my old piece of ♥♥♥♥ and get two dubs in a row then something is wrong. honestly the only post I actually read was this man's right here

Some flaws because I am good already and yes it is the chairs fault everything is out of place my hands are floating my knees are hitting the desk the arm rests hit the keyboard

Which is literally 100% PEBCAK.

Chairs are adjustable. Chairs are not your issue. If you're "professional" I seriously doubt that your skills would have been trashed so badly by *a chair*.

Learn to adjust. And while you are adjusting *maybe don't try playing competitive* if you really think that it's going to harm your game play that badly.

Gaming chairs with quality back support, when setup correct (they vary according to your own height and weight), will actually greatly improve your FPS gaming.

The facts behind this is simply: You will find yourself leaning back, rather than hunched over forward (due to no or little back support). This inturn frees up the arm movement and reflects time accordingly.

You will find all professional gamers actually use gaming chairs. For example, Professional Major League gaming all use DXRacer chairs. DXRacer became the exclusive seat for WCG (World Cyber Games).

What gaming chair did you get? And what is your height / build?

[shoopy]

I can agree on one thing: arm rests suck. I'll never use a chair that has them.

[Enriquez]

I have a problem similar to that. My gaming hat and gaming underwear is not helping me in pubg mobile.
