I said it maybe too quickly on the video, but this chair is a prototype and isn’t for sale yet. They told me they’ll do a limited run in about a week of 20 to see if people are interested.
The flight sim community would go nuts over this. I'm a sim developer and I want one :)
Was going to ask if they did EU deliveries, but I noticed the link is .de, so I guess that is a yes :)
It looks super awesome, and I too don't like the look and feel of the "gaming" chairs. The one I have now is just a "normal" leather recliner chair mounted the wheels of a offices chair, it was something a offices did for comfort, and there where a couple of those not used so I bought one. Way more comfortable than a normal gaming chair, but it's not build for gaming.
@Morphologis what is the recommended max weight limit on the chair if they said or not?
Yes this is a prototype for the US Air Force. But don’t worry we will make it available to you guys soon 😉.
20? 20 is not really a number to test if people want this chair... :-)
Agree, that black and professional style is awesome, never liked the race car "gaming" chairs
They tend to try and force my huge shoulders forward when I sit in them. I used to have a DX Racer Tank for my massive big boned frame but now I currently use a Herman Miller Embody chair. It's very expensive but not as expensive as long term back problems so common to tall guys as they age.
I didn’t have anything against the „gaming” chairs, but the simple black style is very nice.
These gaming chairs are also pointless in their shapes since their designs is made for cars which push you into your seat with G force.
not only look like crap, you know those holes close to your shoulders? yea those without the headrest on can be felt on a lot of chairs. just seeing the holes is a huge turnoff for me.
Get rid of the castors and I’m interested
This is actually insane. Imagine playing Elite Dangerous with VR enabled with this thing... dat immersion
I've got this seting for Elite Dangerous and it's very immersive
It is free on Epic btw, go grab a second account if you want one
@@Badd.G Still costs too much. Plus no gamer should be supporting the epic game store. Is there anti-competitive and they use anti-consumer business tactics to gain market share they don't deserve.
Add a Buttkicker Gamer2 as well. It is a game changer in VR. Trust.
@@Psychobob Steam did the same when it was created. People seem to forget that though. They didn't know if they could compete with brick and mortar stores so they paid for exclusives that wouldn't go to stores. Every PC magazine had stories on it, but many are too young to know that. Not only did they do that, but they charged the same even though there was no distribution cost with online purchases. Steam was as anti-consumer as anyone.
The perfect seat to roast the Nomad from.
Feels weird watching this in a broken office chair I've had for 7 years that has no back.
His name is dale and he's my favourite chair.
Why is Dale broken? :(
Lol I got a jank chair from a neighbor for free, wife hates it
I think... I think Dale is my favourite chair too :')
Mine wobbles from left to right if i shift my weight, feels like im riding a motorcycle, it's not Broken, Its a Feature! :D
I love Dale now :')
I don't need it... I don't need it... I NEED IT!
oh god yes please. ive waited so long for a no bs chair
Having seen the preview on stream, I had a smile on my face the moment I saw the notification.
I've blown so much money on chairs that it's hard to justify again, cheap office, 2 race seats (one has vinyl or pu leather one makes you sweat more than the other and reflects body heat) and a steel case leap. I usually find my boney part of my bum aches and seats usually feel too firm. Something else that springs to mind is most chairs don't have an option to hold the seat base tilt at a desired angle only fully up or unlocked to rock, this is something most reviewers miss to comment on. Nice review and look forward to seeing updates on this even though I doubt I could warrent any further risk of wasting a lot on a seat I don't know if I will personally be comfortable on.
Sorry yeah that’s a good point. You can lock the angle of the seat back at any angle you want. I’ve personally been doing that regularly.
@@Morphologis Hi thanks for the response but i mean the whole seat as it rocks so you lock the seat base at an angle rocked back, adjusting the angle of the thighs just like in some more expensive cars. I've only had one seat like this which clamped the rocking action at what ever angle required, I'm not refering to the back rest. Many thanks.
Me sitting in a dying wooden chair: should i upgrade? nah
This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for to take my flight and space sim gaming to the next level! So excited to get my hands on one, thanks for the video.
Being a fabricator & CAD designer, some things I've added and come up with for the sim rig I'm building which might be helpful are:
Placement for Razer or other gaming keypads (orbweaver etc) behind the left stick at the base, tilted forward a little for ergo. This allows quick easy access to FPS/EVA movements, while being lower than conventional desk height. the Tilt helps comfort this. No need to swing in a keyboard on some flimsy floppy tray.
My centre stick position is 2 piece quick release (no screws or bolts). It's a C channel that the stick is mounted to with x2 45 degree or steeper slots on both sides. the C is rotated 90 degrees and sleeves over a piece of SHS tube that has x2 through pins that locate the slots in the C channel. So you slide it over and the slots slide over the pins & pull it toward the SHS tube so there is no play or wobble. You just lift it up to remove and put it aside onto a second nearby SHS or SHS stand. Takes all of 2 seconds. I considered the hinged option but didn't want my VIRPIL sticks hanging at anything other than upright.
My rig is made so that FPS, Driving, Flight & Space can be accessed with MINIMAL movement and very quickly switched between any combination (around 10-15 seconds)
L&R Sticks swing out of the way. Centre Stick is quick release. Key and mouse is on a slide forward & back locking tray (900w X 450D sticks must be swung out to bring tray forward) Pedals are inverted and mounted. Left combo is on a swing away turntable with Left flight stick, Fanatec gearstick & handbrake. Steering wheel is just above the keyboard on a releasable mount and a quick release wheel so the base can stay mounted.
A second mouse of the same model is also in the same position as the razer orbweaver but opposite side for super quick access if needed.
This is a full sim rig though, not a chair =P
This is a very nice review.
A great video. More reviews like that will be much appreciated, and much welcome.
Excellent mate, Good job on presenting this prototype, thank you
First: congrats on the collaboration. This is great.
Second: I really liked your review and how you also talked about the "off-gaming" impression and usability in daily life.
Thumbs up for a great job done. I'll really considering getting this once it comes out.
Also thx for hinting that they will work on a new version of the chairmounts.
Excellent video! Love the jazzy trumpet
I liked the way you formatted your review. Everything was articulated well and was to the point with your honest review. I just wish I could justify the purchase. Best wishes Morph and community.
I would love to see " an architect reviews: his own house" I would watch it at least.
Nice to see Monstertech have started working with you. I have one of their desk clamp mounts. Build quality is very high. I know many people moan about the price and yes their stuff is expensive but its extremely sturdy. Great stuff. Thanks for the video.
Your review was good. The concerns you brought up mirrored my own thoughts, so it was good to hear them being addressed.
i love the high quality if your videos without it being big company everything is sponsored thing, it is you, your honest opinions but high quality. keep it up!
Sweet! I have waited so long for something like that chair. Great video Morph like always!
Well done, keep it up Morph. This is a great addition to add variety to your content. This brings slot more value to your channel. I love it! Cant afford it unfortunately, but I love the idea of you reviewing items that could make your Star Citizen experience better. Thanks again!
Looks very interesting! Good work as always
Looks incredible
Cool!
I have a very similar setup with a secret lab chair since one year and I am happy to see Monstertech has found a solution to rotate backward the Joysticks with the mouse extensions and that they have blocks for the wheels, because those are 2 of my 3 current pain points, the 3d one being a place where to park the mount once it is fully detached.
super interested in this, thanks for the video!
This is great! I have had such a hard time finding the right chair for my rig. I am a USAF veteran. I worked on the F15 which is also a center stick configuration. Very nice design.
Excellent review! Will definitely look at the company when shopping for my next chair.
Great video and cool chair. Super looking forward to getting one
Waited for sth like this! Thx
Great job on this review video. A lot of great insight and thanks for sharing.
This chair looks fantastic. It now tops my list for replacing my current chair. All it needs is a seat angle adjust, and I'd rate 10/10. Great review, Morph!
Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to buy this chair when it's available! The amount of immersion that I could get while playing Star Citizen will be amazing! The brackets on the arm rests, being able to change the the position of the seat and back is awesome! Especially since I'm tall, so it'll certainly make playing long sessions more enjoyable and less bothersome on the legs and back. Thanks for doing this review!
Informative and interesting. Definitely do more like these!
Hey man great job. I like the hardware review style. It was direct and honest feeling.
Wow, I love Monstertech, and love your videos! This is exciting!!!
this is a really well done product review
Very nice review. I am definitely going to take a look at replacing my chair next year and this will likely be on my short list.
Everything looks amazing! I'd personally like to see a locking mechanism to prevent the chair from turning and maybe have the side mounts flip down once you swivel them to the side to allow someone to scoot as close to their desk as possible (arm rests under the desk). Very nice review! Looking forward to see what Monstertech has to offer!
Great video man!
Man this was a great review, can’t wait to see more reviews on maybe hotas’s, throttles, just gear in general!
Great video Morph! Thanks for sharing, this looks amazing! Not a bad price either for the ease of modularity. I also whole-heartedly agree about having a professional looking chair for those instances when you're not gaming. Monstertech is doing awesome work for the Sim community. When it becomes available I hope we can get it up in Canada.
Love the simple design of the chair
Very Cool chair, Thanks for the info! :D
Interesting chair. I'm going to be in the market for a new chair in the near future. I'm going to have to keep an eye on this. Thanks for making a video about it.
Great video Morph
You talked me into it. I bought the chair. Thanks for the discount! :D
actually everything i ever wanted from a sim chair, will definetly consider buying it
Very nice review Morph, very proff as always
I'm kind of late on this reply but well done. I got a replacement chair as my office chair basically wore out and the racing chair within a week feels like I'm sitting on a brick so not a great feeling but I have it now and it isn't dissolving around me. I do worry about fake leathers because in reality if I like something I'd like to buy it once and use it forever, but I have never been very successful at that, well with the exception of some tools that have lifetime warranties because they basically don't fail. Thanks for the review.
Awome gear thanks for the info. Totally getting one
Good job!!
Great! One more thing I didn't know I needed.
I have both, the chair mounts and the centre one they fit perfectly on my dxracer king series i personally love the whole racing theme, fitted to them are my virpil throttle and 2 alpha grips and gimbals they come highly recommended considering how much weight they can hold it's incredible
hell yeah. finally some room to comfortably position my center stick
For anyone wondering about that fuzzy bar underneath the logo that's for military style velcro name tags. Or in this case more likely fun little moral patches. I can see someone putting a "GIT GOOD" Patch there :)
Yup I want one!
Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for. My 12 year old $400 Ikea chair is starting to wear. I'm trying for a while to find something similar with narrow backrest for not bumping your arms, and this asymmetric reclining feature where back and seat move slightly different. This one you are showing here seems to have exactly that, plus the roller locks for using pedals (usually have a heavy box in the back of mine to not roll backwards :D ). Thank you so much. Oh yeah, and I'm also not particularly font of gaming chairs :D
For the center mount cut in the seat, maybe have a gentle incline in the leather leading up to it, just so there's a bit of a natural stopping point when adjusting your position or getting out.
I have the same IKEA chair! I made a DIY throttle platform bolted to the two holes used for attaching the left armrest. Bit wobbly but it works pretty well.
Look good from the initial details. That center attachment looks like a painful accident waiting to happen if you try to get out or get into the chair in a hurry.
Hows the lumbar support?
An attachment for supporting VR Cable/Headset might be a handy addition.
Good question, it’s not adjustable independent of the rear rear. That said, it’s well formed and very supportive to my body shape. The lower bracket is removable and is a separate option.
Looks good, the elbow space would help when I pick up my guitar too.
its a nice chair love all features. its awesome for a tall person. enjoy the chair.
I love your videos and somehow I feel like I could listen to you talk about stuff for hours. Looking forward to the next one.
Edit: Altho I like to hear about Star Citizen so I’d like to see architect reviews from time to time.
I love the look and capabilities of this chair. The price is high for a budget gamer but certainly not for a flight sim gamer as we tend to look at every piece of our kit as an investment. Flight Sim games are not generally games you just drop into for 30 minutes, we are in them for HOURS and like Morphologist, we often use them as office chairs as well. At least I do but not everyone is a software developer or an architect.
Great vid. Keep it up.
I really love this style of video. It is “weird” seeing you do a “vlog” type of video.
Concerning the center joystick mount, they should really customize it in a way where you wouldn't have to "LIFT YOUR LEG UP" just to get out of the chair. Please notify them of this. Maybe the center joystick should have this sliding mechanism that goes down so I can sit down and stand up/leave the chair as you demonstrated in 5:48.
I do really like the ability to adjust all that stuff, and the narrowness of the back is something I always look for but can never find
just a quick side note - the F35 has a side stick, it really is a fascinating piece of engineering, every bolt, gauge and component earned it's place, it's software upon release was as good as star citizen in it's current state but they improved quickly
That chair is awesome!!!
I’ve been looking for a new chair as of late cause my old one is legit falling apart. Putting this one on my list!
Thank you for the review. I like these kinds of informative videos. Your coverage of the product was comprehensive and the video clips very helpful.
I spent $600 on my Noble chair and am still happy with it. Price (usually) equals quality when it comes to chairs, so I think it is worth the investment if possible. I will definitely upgrade to a Monster Tech chair at some point if they do produce them. By the time I'm ready to do so there should also be a lot of feedback for consideration.
this chair definitely looks much better then standard gaming chairs. Great video!
Another great review , so getting the 2023 edition. Awesome design , monster tech is a discovery for me, the design philosophy is fantastic!
Morph looks exactly how I imagined him haha. Love the work, my guy 👍👍
1. The pneumatic cylinder is the part that always fails first on the chairs I use. Will yours be more robust or have replacements available?
2. Instead of making the center mount a bolt-on, make it a drop-n-lock with "can't miss" guide system. Push a button, lift the center device.
3. For the taller and heavier center devices, dual-axis articulation under the left or right lobe will allow the device to swing to the appropriate side and down, under whatever side devices are there. Making the mount position ambidextrous allows it to swing it in the direction needed for better balance.
I enjoyed this product review, would be great to see future reviews of other products for space simmers
I might actually be very interested by a product like this in the future.
Looks nice
Yay more videos like this please! I also play MS Flight Sim 2020 so I’ll be looking forward to watching them. (Even though I can’t afford them.) I can watch and dream.
Id also like to have an option to cover the center mount 'hole' so if your not needing it, you can use the chair in a normal way. Then pop the cover out when you want to center mount something.
Now THAT is a good-looking chair!
Chair seems awesome. Priced beyond my reach, though.
Well this is interesting. I just finally set up my monster tech hotas mounts for the event this week. They've been sitting in a box for over a year
Thanks for this video. I've been looking for something like this. One problem I have playing Elite Dangerous and Star Wars Squadrons in VR is Rift S headset tightening knob gets hung up on the headrest when I need to look straight up. Leaning my current gaming chair back helps but also puts my arms further from the HOTAS. My wish would be a head rest that can be adjusted forward or back or just removable like the head rest in some cars. For non-VR like FlightSim(which will be VR) and Star Citizen this chair is fantastic.
One thing that I recommend is to go for a full metal base since in the past I had high polymer plastic ones the issue with those is that they break their fitting compared to metal ones where they just bend and can be easily fixed.
all the knowledge that is given i already want to buy it immediately :D
I'm sold.
Pretty nice to see a gaming chair that doesn’t look like a fluorescent bucket seat pulled from a dodge neon that went through an episode of pimp my ride.
Been waiting for this.
OMG. I was thinking $1000 chair. For sure a buy at $600. Have been shopping around for a chair for a year and a half and can't make up my mind. I do hope they have an upgraded model with gel infused foam. I actually redid my chair with gel infused mattress topper foam on my own and the difference is massive. It added a super soft layer on top of a heavy supportive foam under it as well. I am so glad I saw this. Was so close to getting a secretlab's chair. Another thing I would like to see added is braces for transducers. I have a buttkicker on my chair now and it adds a ton to my experience, but I do feel it needs a mount on the back of the seat as well. It loses the vibration there.
I'll watch anything you puts out, Morphologis. Your videos are some of the best on youtube, imo. But this one was really interesting, product reviews are great and I trust your input.
The chair itself looks great and, by the looks of it, it filled in a vacum in the industry, so here's hoping it only gets better from here on in.
Really nice chair
Great job Morph! This was really well done. I expect we'll be seeing more product reviews in the future.
So $600 is alot of money for a chair, and then you have to spend more money for their brackets/mounting kits. I would consider buying this if it were around $300-400.
I love the narrow profile exactly for the elbow reason, and the simple black aesthetic. The material choice is huge for me as I'm a bigger guy and need both the exterior and interior material to be durable.
I've been pondering an upgrade from my current 30 year old office chair I got for free as a teenager when my dad's office renovated and gave everyone new chairs, so he "rescued" a few of the old ones from their fate.
None of the current "gaming" chairs or high end office chairs have stood out to me, I'm used to the half-back design of my chair and really like the narrowness of the back of it for freedom of movement.
Since most gaming chairs are about $400, I'm more than willing to pay another $200 for what looks to be far superior materials/construction, and built in mounting support, especially that center mount.
Shipping costs will be a bitch, but amortized over 20 years of not having spent anything on a chair at all, it's not a bad value, especially if it lasts 20 years.
Feedback: This is definitely the sort of chair I am looking for. Considering how hard it is to get hold of Virpil and VKB joysticks, us space and flight sim fans have shown time after time that we don't mind paying more for quality.
The only part that concerns me is the "crutch gap" at the bottom. I feel like a bolt-on insert of "more chair" to fill in the gap would be a worthy addition, as I think many users wouldn't want something between their legs, including a gap.
Great review on a purpose build product that I'd love to own. I'd like to see an option for the center mount to have a rudder petal plate that you can adjust and always have right where you want them.
the video was perfect Morph. i think for what it is and is unique on the market. The parts to put the accessories is secondary since is well layout and think. All comes to the chair itself, the foam, the leather and most important how is build. that will make the price.
