Couple of things to point out with this review and for anyone looking to buy this chair (XL size). First, it says for 6-6'10, I'm 6'4 and the lumbar support, head rest area (pillow as well) are perfect. So if you're under 6' then probably shouldn't buy the XL. The second thing I want to point out are the wings on the seat. Those play a vital role in your posture. They're meant to keep your hips pointed more straight and to not let them drift outward. Prolonged sitting with your hips relaxed and drifting outward can result in bursitis and even cause some sciatic paint too. They're meant to make it easier on you to keep your legs straight. So this chair does exactly what it was made to do. Neither one of those should really be looked at as a con when viewing the chair for it's intended purpose.
It can be viewed as a con. While its intended to help posture. Some people may want to sit cross legged for a little while. Or just sit in a different posture while on a break or lunch while at your desk. Some may want “versatility”. Additionally some taller folks over 6 ft or taller may be expecting more space on the seat as well when purchasing. He did well to point that out as I can guarantee you some people have returned the chair when ordering online due to that feature of the chair.
the lever is not stuck. its the back rest mechanism not align with the notch that locks into place. you need to adjust the back rest a bit to let it lock properly so that the lever will go back to its right position
You only thing the headrest is terrible because you're not tall enough. Again me being 6'4" the headrest hits right under the base of my head in any position. If something is meant for someone 6 foot and above why would you review it? I wouldn't review something that is targeted for 5'7" and below because obviously I'm not going to think its good lol
I just got my Iskur chair from Amazon and I selected the Fabric version too. Got it delivered, opened it and they gave me the black leather version by accident lol. Tbh I’m not that mad, the PU leather in all black grew on me, and it fits well with my desk setup and I love it. I do agree the handle isn’t great quality, but everything else is good. Now it’s a matter of time for the leather to wear off, reasons why I choose the Grey fabric. It is what it it.
@@TyEats2200 I personally really enjoy it. The padding is firm but not too hard, the lumbar support is super customizable, but the head pillow is a tad large. The quality is great and easy to put together. Ive never had a chair of this price but I'm in love. I have scoliosis and my old chair would really leave me sore and not able to sit for more than an hour or two. Now I've been able to sit for significantly longer and I feel less tired.
Ahnestly, thanks to your excellent review, I just got the XL fabric Razer yesterday. :) It is HUGE compared to the old cheap office chair I had. It makes that one look like a kids chair. I like the long seat (21" deep) as I sat on the regular M size Razer at a Staples and felt the seat wasn't deep enough when the lumbar was adjusted out, feeling like it pushed me forward too much. I'm 6' and 170 lbs and like how high this chair comes up, and how the lumbar feels. I'm still adjusting it a bit to find the sweet spot for my back but I can feel that it's making me focus on sitting in a more correct position, and not to slouch my shoulders or tilt my head and neck forward. I wish the gas cylinder went down just a tiny bit lower, as the desk I am currently using is almost pressing against the tops of my legs as I sit and work. It's at about 18" from the top of the seat cushion to the floor from my measurement if anyone was curious. I lucked out and got a discount and got it for $509 before shipping which made the price sting a little bit less, but the chair IS very well made, VERY solid and the features are nice. I did order the other Razer head pillow they offer that is bigger and looks like it comes down to support your neck more than the one included with the chair. That one hits me dead center in the back of the head, and I wish they had provided more strap material so you could have it come down farther to be a neck support. Hopefully the new pillow will do that better.
@@Ahnestly You're welcome! As for the link, I can't remember if I used it or not, I'm sorry. I was searching through a ton of "best office/task/gaming chair" videos/sites before discovering the Razer, and then watching and reading a bunch on it before at some point ending back up on their site. I'm just an unfrozen caveman graphic artist, and confused and frightened by all this technology! :D
Omg, thank you so much for making this video and exposing the constraints by the side walls. I literally just bought this chair because of all the other benefits it has. I have tried multiple premium chairs for work. All kinds of ergonomic chairs, but this one felt the best when I tried it. However, I did not take into account the side walls. And that is something I like to do. I love to stretch my tighs and sit in those positions you just showed as impossible. I am so glad I saw this video that I cancelled the order immediately. I am going to wait for a better model without side walls. Cheers!
Hey! Check this out: AndaSeat Kaiser 3 vs Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 - Which is King of Gaming Chairs? ruclips.net/video/Yir3M7zntu0/видео.html Hope this helps!
I bought this chair and also had trouble with some of the screws. My issue was the fabric was getting caught in the threads. After widening the holes and making sure the fabric was clear the screws went in fine. Just a tip.
i own this chair. it is worth buying 100%. i would suggest also buying the razer head cushion. go look it up and look at the shape of it...it can sit right above the lumbar support AND you can use the included pillow that comes with the chair together. the lumbar pillow pressed down as far as possible, with the head pillow press on the very top....the combo produces the greatest chair ever. almost bought the herman miller logitech chair and have zero regrets.
yes im in it right now. i also had back surgury when i was 14 and i am 43 now. the lumbar support on the back is A+ and why you should buy one. i would buy the neck pillow they sell its perfect with this chair
@@sittkukk8278 dont pay more than 400 buy the bigger chair, look at the weird neck pillow they sell and use both the included "normal pillow" at the top and the weird neck pillow beneath it and pull it down as far as you can. then set the lumbar, then the height, then the angle of the chair and its nirvana, i did also buy the regular chair feet and swapped them and place the chair at the perfect distance away from the desk so all i ever to is rotate the chair and slide in it never moves its always set perfect. the only negative is that i bought the fabric and it cleans perfect...it is a static generator...i always discharge the energy buy grabbing the chair arm rest and slide my fingers across until i contact the metal holding the chair arm and i never discharge it to my electronics....i do this because i WOULD discharge the energy onto electronics on my desk and it would cause my LG c2 tv/monitor to bug and cause an invalid input error that would require my pc to be rebooted to be recognized by my tv/monitor.
05:26 to adjust the backrest ,chair has a gear shape part many gaming chair has this mechanism and if you don't follow the way as i say and wiggle it and push it down as you do in video 05:39 you will definitely break the gear or make it out of it's shape or even you will break the end of the lever that connects to the gear ,you should pull the lever up and adjust the backrest with your back as you lean and release the lever if it doesn't go all the way down pull it again adjust the backrest one centimeter forward or backward with your back and release the lever until it goes all the way down by itself not by force be sure this way the very end of the lever will fit in position on the gear that is inside that plastic frame
Ive had my Titan 2022 XL for a few weeks so far. Waiting for the delivery of a new back (screw problems with the base/ back mechanism) but its usable and I’ve been loving it. I was curious about the Iskar but previous reviews ive watched put it in a maybe category. Thanks again for your great reviews. Pure bliss mode activate!
@@davidpinto7639 The support is great. I haven’t had lumbar support in my chairs for years and i tend to slouch. It takes getting used too but i like i can adjust the angle of the back too. Sit forward while working,sit back while listening to music etc.
If you compare this to an ergonomic chair, what would you recommend? I am thinking of buying the cougar argo. Greetings. From Chile watching your videos: D
Bro the sizing bit was so helpful. I got the iskur x and have the leg restriction problem. I'm 6' even and although it's a great chair, it feels like it's made for a smaller person in general. The xl isn't much bigger for that either. Looks like I'll have to pick a different brand maybe 🤔
You aren't suppose to use a headrest for your head, it's for your neck. The first time I used a gaming chair with the gimmick I quickly figured it out due to how all of them are just uncomfortable on the head, but perfect at the neck
Fun fact razer does tell you how much it weighs when you are done shopping and it tells you tracking and it tells you how it weighs while you are there
The bolt looks crooked so you might have cross threaded it, it's always a good idea to turn the bolt lefty loosy until you feel/hear it click which means it has seated into the groove to screw in correctly and then you can tighten it. but also, it could have just been messed up.
After seeing this video, I just place the order for the fabric Iskur..and for the headrest that I get an additional unit which designs for ENKI, and it's a perfect combination now lol... thx dude.
A taller person is not necessarily wider. So the width might not be an issue to a six foot person if they were more slender. the chair would also "not fit" a 5'1" person if they were also as wide.
It feels really constricting haha. I’ve had chairs where there’s a bump or plastic, but at least you can still move it around. With this, it’s like Gandalf you shall not pass.
@@Ahnestly Thats good to note as this is one of the chairs I'm considering. Other options are the Secret Lab and the Noble Chair. Watching your reviews does help tremendously
I’m in the vast minority on this one but I actually prefer good side support from a bucket style. Ended up passing on this one on that basis. Missing the all metal adjustments though
I personally prefer and most of my friends all prefered the titan evo 2022! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links as it helps this channel a LOT!!
awesome review! I want to buy this Gaming chair, even if I like to sit cross-legged as a 5'8! but on my mind is also the Enki are you considering to review these chairs? - Corsair T3 Rush - Corsair TC100 Relaxed (both Corsair chairs are similar but maybe you could find out their differences) - CoolerMaster Synk X Cross (it is about 600€ in the EU which this chair also has this weird rumbling mechanism)
In my country it costs 628$, many buyers reported defects. It's hard to go for it, taking that risk but it seems it has the best support for back, all others chais just hace pillows

What would you prefer for yourself? Regular size or XL?
hi :) i got few questions about the chair because its one of the only chairs i can get at a reasonable price in my country. for some reason the place that sells the chair doesnt specify the size of it only the specs of it. it says 136KG weight limit so i guess its the standard size. im 5'5 / 5'6 height. do you think it will be a good chair for me? i can see you seating on the chair but you got the xl size and it just look uncomfortable. seating correctly is very important to me because i got knee problems and back problems. would love some help ❤
If you're between 250-350 and want a good chair do yourself a favor and buy a Herman Miller Aeron C. I'm 6'1 and a bit north of 300 and this chair is the best 1.3k I've ever spent in my life.
Also highly recommend the Aeron and HM products in general. Sometimes theyre out of people's price range and they don't allow for the "pure bliss mode", which I made fun of until I tried it...I can never read my long work documents the same way again...
Great review as always! That intro too! But calling it "Almost Perfect" is such an overstatement. There's just too much downsides to this chair. I'd rather have a Mavix/Autonomous chair if I really cared.
Hi so which one would you buy this or the Secretlab XL 2022 ..... also would you get the fabric or fake leather option ? i get 15 percent off on the Razor being a Veteran and they are already on sale for 10% right now ....
Very tempting, but I would still go with a Titan Evo 2022. I had so many people (both online and in person) express they liked the Evo much better! Whichever you decide on, please consider using my links - it helps my channel a lot! Thank you and let me know which you decide on!
Hey Ahnestly, love your video reviews. I have a question. I'm 5'9 and 165lbs, which size of the Razer Iskur you think fit me best? You think the XL would fit me best, considering it fits for you as someone who's 5'6?
I really don't know...I didn't dig into the sizing of the Iskurs that much. All I can say is the XL is massively deep, but feels small due to the great walls of china on the sides.
Hey whatsup! this is a great video it showed everything I needed to know. So like its sale day and Im having trouble deciding this and a Autonomous ergo pro. And it is a typical argument of seating right? Most would say that you should definitely pick a the ergo chair. But im not sure after seeing this and other videos, theres more to balance like build quality and noises the chair makes etc.. So I have to ask what do you think?
I have heard bad things about the Ergo, but also hearing poor QC on the iskur as well. If you're open to alternatives, I made a video on what chair should you buy, outlining various chair choices for different heights. I test a lot of chairs with friends who come over, so that video was based on a lot of friend feedback too! ruclips.net/video/Q0ONgr9Yz0k/видео.html
Hello, could you put the measurements of the seat of the XL model? (depth and width). I bought the normal size, but i think it is small for me. Thanks.
Hey man, I've just watched your video, great review. I got this chair too and I'm thinking exactly the same about the headrest. I've seen Razer have made others headrests : "Razer Sneki Snek Head Pillow" (which is really cool!) and "Razer Head Cushion". Do you think you could try out the difference between the original and these 2 ? Thanks !
I just got the Razer head cushion which does fit better behind your head as it is thinner at the top and cradles the neck as it comes down farther, BUT it is stiff memory foam and hard. There is a zipper at the bottom, I'm tempted to see if I can add a thin softer layer inside or may contact them to ask why the thing is so damned hard when the original cushion is nice and soft. I'm guessing it's because it's "formed" to the shape it is with the neck support side wings.
@@Ahnestly I bought Iskur Fabric Standard after watched your video. Fabric texture is good, keep my body back stays warm, mesh seat is too cold in winter. Iskur only problem is the seat pad too flat, I expect seat pad should have a little bit curve. Will the seat pad become softer after daily usage?
@@Ahnestly Hi ! and wow! really? I thought it was going to make much bigger, now that I look at it you are right about the seat part, it looks very tight for the XL. I've been looking for a review of the Iskur XL for the last few days, but I can only find the regular one. I even found on Instagram a photo where the 2 sizes are, but not in video, for a size comparison.
That's a tough one...I personally would pick the SL evo 2022 out of all 3. I've had a lot of friends over, and they all chose that one over every other gaming chair
@@Ahnestly lol just to follow up, i'm typing this right now in my evo titan 2022 thanks in part to you dan. thanks again! your thorough reviews really really helped me. do you have patreon?
I don’t as of yet. I’m still working a 9 to 5 with a family so it’s been tough thinking through what perks to give donors…maybe when I get ready to make the switch I can look into it more!
Aerons have a TON of R&D that went into their design so while not everyone will feel great, it'll feel better for more people than the Iskur IMHO. Also, the Isku and Aeron suffer from the same issue - you don't get a lot of flexibility in how you sit bc the Aeron has hard plastic sides whereas the Iskur has the great wall of China on the left and right sides of the seat pan!!
I have the standard version, made a video on my channel. I am 6'2", but I got it before there were even talks of an XL variant. I want to return mine for the XL version lol.
Depends on your needs. I have never used the Corsair, but based on pictures, I would not use it. I think the fight is between SL and Razer at this point. Razer offers better lumbar, but SL offers more flexibility with decent lumbar! Whichever you decide, please consider using my links as it helps this channel a lot!
Awesome review. I have a question, What's the size of seat room of Iskur xl? I got Iskur and I feel locked into the chair. size for Iskur: depth=21.1/4, width (back)=14, width (front)=15.1/4. I just wanted to compare how much more room I will get if I replace it with XL.
@@Ahnestly I'm 6'2. So do you think I need to think about other chairs instead of Iskur XL? I usually spend 10 hours per day at my desk because of my work.
I just measured my XL seat and if you go all the way back to the very back edge under the lumbar pad, it's 23.5" deep. From the lumbar pad pushed all the way back it was about 21.5. Back width is 15.5" and front width is 17.5". I'm 6' and the seat comes to just behind my calves when I'm seated.
Returning my Iskur XL because two nuts where stripped out the box. I could legit not get passed step 1. Contacted razer and they said I've must've done some wrong, which I didn't, I know how to screw in a bolt into a nut. Horrible experience and customer service. Although the chair felt nice and I was excited, this experience is disappointing amd RAZER needs better quality control. Lately a lot of their products give out really quickly l. So I'll be going with something different.
I picked up the Regular sized Iskur, being 6'3 it was a bit too small. Not in the height or anything other than hip space. I returned it and got the XL, I was trying to save some money and it didnt work out.
@Anhestly my friend I am between 2 chairs. Razer iskur (I have tried it) and Anda seat kaiser 2 (I have not tried it). I see you have tried both. Which one do you prefer and why?
They’re both ok. Didn’t love the pillow on the Anda and hated the high leg bars on the Iskur. I think most people that came over to test my chairs preferred the titan evo 2022 over all my gaming chairs apart from my Herman miller gaming chairs!
I would say 90% of people who have come over to sit on both chairs (both people shorter and people who were the right size for the XL) have said the SL is much better for them. I just released a sizing guide for it in case you're interested! If you decide to purchase, please consider using my links as it helps this channel a lot!
After having other people sit in my iskur comparing it to the titan evo 2022, they all said titan evo 2022. Everyone is different, but bc of that, I think that might be the way to go if you want a race car style gaming chair! I have sizing guides on that chair so take a look! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! Helps my channel a lot!
It's a tough one. Still no perfect gaming chair. You put the lumbar of the razer with the openness of the titan evo and you got a finally perfect gaming chair
Can you comment on the seat cushion, like what it's made of. I currently use a TP9000 and the seat is amazing, after 5 years it still feels great. (yes I know the back stretches, but the Raynor group will replace the back for 5 years)
6:14 is the back or seat crooked? Or is it a weird warped look due to camera? It looks like the seat-right is down-sloped and/or the seatback-left is downward.
I just order this chair it’s it good for back issues/ problems also the lumbar support is kinda of like the gtrx Pillow support that was so uncomfortable for me :/
Not with the largest size that I have here. My favorite racing style gaming chair right now though is the Andaseat Kaiser 3 - check out my video on that one!
Purchased this chair less than nine months ago. Regrettably, the pedestal itself has failed. Wobbles back and forth and from side to side. Using this chair for less than 4 hours a day. At 6ft 195lbs I'm well within the range of recommended use. Aesthetically appealing -YES, can't say that for the hardware. I've read dozens of reviews were the welds break, but that is not the case here. Seems the pistons have failed @ the lumbar and pedestal. It's been in the same position for the past nine months except fo the occasional adjustment of the armrests. We live in a acquisitive society, who knows that better than the manufacturer? Aesthetics rule, where functionality is lacking. It's no wonder the landfills are over burdened with products like this.
@@Ahnestly I'm in the fourth day dealing with support at Razer, after 3 videos they want me to beat the piston out of the chair with a hammer, so they can determine what is defective. Mind you I have a paralysis in my left arm and hand, Can't squeeze toothpaste out of the tube much less hold a hammer. I explained that to them at the onset. But they are detemined to have me do it, and believe me I've tried. Most ridiculous support i've encountered, ever! ruclips.net/video/FyHnxqeHI-4/видео.html
I'm 6 2 and wish I wouldn't got a gaming chair. Their nice but not the best for long sessions imo. You do have to def watch out for wings on the bottom.
I saw this video and go ahead and bought the chair, man, I'm 5'7 and it's really designed for taller guys, my butt and lower back hurt even more on this than a 10 bucks Ikea chair because the lumbar doesn't hit the right spot (it's hitting more of my spine instead of lumbar), and it's too firm for my butt I have to stand up and walk around to relieve the pain after an hour of league
So, I get that the seats deeper but is it flatter than a secretlab Titan? I'm 6ft 2 and I find the titan hurts my thighs because the chair base is quite tilted
Great, I always sit correctly so I don't care about the "silly" design of the seat, moreover, in the fabric size standard version, it costs me € 110 less than the Titan EVO. At this point I think I'll get the king of gaming chair! Thanks as usual for your great advice!
If you're looking for supportive lumbar...neither. I think you'd get better lumbar support in a office/ergo style chair. Check out my most recent video on my top chair picks for 2023, which is divided into height ranges and price ranges for easy viewing!!
Lean back aaaalll the way and just float in your chair. It's pretty freaking amazing. I made fun of gaming chairs for a long time until I tried that mode and it changed a lot for me...lol
bro, you are 5'6" (1.67cm) and yet you are reviewing the XL version of the chair? you didn't even meet the requirement for the Regular variant (170cm -190cm)....

You do an excelent job with these chair reviews! keep the good content up!
Maybe, However its hard to stop a habbit, however i dont mind.
could you do a vertagear p4500 review c:
for the head suport it is good you you have to be 6 foot or more so it will hit your leak
Couple of things to point out with this review and for anyone looking to buy this chair (XL size). First, it says for 6-6'10, I'm 6'4 and the lumbar support, head rest area (pillow as well) are perfect. So if you're under 6' then probably shouldn't buy the XL. The second thing I want to point out are the wings on the seat. Those play a vital role in your posture. They're meant to keep your hips pointed more straight and to not let them drift outward. Prolonged sitting with your hips relaxed and drifting outward can result in bursitis and even cause some sciatic paint too. They're meant to make it easier on you to keep your legs straight. So this chair does exactly what it was made to do. Neither one of those should really be looked at as a con when viewing the chair for it's intended purpose.
Very interesting!!
It can be viewed as a con. While its intended to help posture. Some people may want to sit cross legged for a little while. Or just sit in a different posture while on a break or lunch while at your desk. Some may want “versatility”. Additionally some taller folks over 6 ft or taller may be expecting more space on the seat as well when purchasing. He did well to point that out as I can guarantee you some people have returned the chair when ordering online due to that feature of the chair.
Im 5’11”, i have a regular one on the way
the lever is not stuck. its the back rest mechanism not align with the notch that locks into place. you need to adjust the back rest a bit to let it lock properly so that the lever will go back to its right position
Would love to see a comparison video between the iskur and the titan evo 2022! :D
Same
Yes please! These are the two I'm torn between.
Yes pls
What I've been trying to find
Agreed
I'm 6'4" and I love this chair. Being tall when you sit it the chair correctly its like no other.
You only thing the headrest is terrible because you're not tall enough. Again me being 6'4" the headrest hits right under the base of my head in any position. If something is meant for someone 6 foot and above why would you review it? I wouldn't review something that is targeted for 5'7" and below because obviously I'm not going to think its good lol
Yeah I don't know why but Razer decided to send this one over to me
@@Ahnestly Oh wow you dont have a say to what they send? Thats crazy other than that great video man
I just got my Iskur chair from Amazon and I selected the Fabric version too. Got it delivered, opened it and they gave me the black leather version by accident lol. Tbh I’m not that mad, the PU leather in all black grew on me, and it fits well with my desk setup and I love it. I do agree the handle isn’t great quality, but everything else is good. Now it’s a matter of time for the leather to wear off, reasons why I choose the Grey fabric.
It is what it it.
I mean you could of returned it and got the fabric version sent if you wanted to
So you got the wrong product and instead of complaining you just got used to it? How soft can you be 😂
@@Mikael-jt1hk softer than the fabric I am
Amazon had this on sale from Prime Day at $350… I just had to take the chance and see for myself. The video was extremely informative!
Same - waiting on that shipping
How’s the chair?
@@TyEats2200 I personally really enjoy it. The padding is firm but not too hard, the lumbar support is super customizable, but the head pillow is a tad large. The quality is great and easy to put together. Ive never had a chair of this price but I'm in love. I have scoliosis and my old chair would really leave me sore and not able to sit for more than an hour or two. Now I've been able to sit for significantly longer and I feel less tired.
Ahnestly, thanks to your excellent review, I just got the XL fabric Razer yesterday. :) It is HUGE compared to the old cheap office chair I had. It makes that one look like a kids chair. I like the long seat (21" deep) as I sat on the regular M size Razer at a Staples and felt the seat wasn't deep enough when the lumbar was adjusted out, feeling like it pushed me forward too much. I'm 6' and 170 lbs and like how high this chair comes up, and how the lumbar feels. I'm still adjusting it a bit to find the sweet spot for my back but I can feel that it's making me focus on sitting in a more correct position, and not to slouch my shoulders or tilt my head and neck forward. I wish the gas cylinder went down just a tiny bit lower, as the desk I am currently using is almost pressing against the tops of my legs as I sit and work. It's at about 18" from the top of the seat cushion to the floor from my measurement if anyone was curious.
I lucked out and got a discount and got it for $509 before shipping which made the price sting a little bit less, but the chair IS very well made, VERY solid and the features are nice. I did order the other Razer head pillow they offer that is bigger and looks like it comes down to support your neck more than the one included with the chair. That one hits me dead center in the back of the head, and I wish they had provided more strap material so you could have it come down farther to be a neck support. Hopefully the new pillow will do that better.
Thanks for the in depth info!!! By any chance, did you use my link?
@@Ahnestly You're welcome! As for the link, I can't remember if I used it or not, I'm sorry. I was searching through a ton of "best office/task/gaming chair" videos/sites before discovering the Razer, and then watching and reading a bunch on it before at some point ending back up on their site. I'm just an unfrozen caveman graphic artist, and confused and frightened by all this technology! :D
Omg, thank you so much for making this video and exposing the constraints by the side walls. I literally just bought this chair because of all the other benefits it has. I have tried multiple premium chairs for work. All kinds of ergonomic chairs, but this one felt the best when I tried it. However, I did not take into account the side walls. And that is something I like to do. I love to stretch my tighs and sit in those positions you just showed as impossible.
I am so glad I saw this video that I cancelled the order immediately. I am going to wait for a better model without side walls. Cheers!

Hope this helps!
Not impossible. Cut em off, stitch soft fabric over the new flat area. Boom.
DIY people
i'v watched some videos on this chair now and this is by far the best one.
Damn those are some really kind words. Thank you!!!
I bought this chair and also had trouble with some of the screws. My issue was the fabric was getting caught in the threads. After widening the holes and making sure the fabric was clear the screws went in fine. Just a tip.
I saw this chair on prime Day and was like "oh maybe Dan made a video" and here it is!
i own this chair. it is worth buying 100%. i would suggest also buying the razer head cushion. go look it up and look at the shape of it...it can sit right above the lumbar support AND you can use the included pillow that comes with the chair together. the lumbar pillow pressed down as far as possible, with the head pillow press on the very top....the combo produces the greatest chair ever. almost bought the herman miller logitech chair and have zero regrets.
Do you still enjoy the chair?
yes im in it right now. i also had back surgury when i was 14 and i am 43 now. the lumbar support on the back is A+ and why you should buy one. i would buy the neck pillow they sell its perfect with this chair
@@johnmedeiros3445 Thanks!
@@sittkukk8278 dont pay more than 400 buy the bigger chair, look at the weird neck pillow they sell and use both the included "normal pillow" at the top and the weird neck pillow beneath it and pull it down as far as you can. then set the lumbar, then the height, then the angle of the chair and its nirvana, i did also buy the regular chair feet and swapped them and place the chair at the perfect distance away from the desk so all i ever to is rotate the chair and slide in it never moves its always set perfect. the only negative is that i bought the fabric and it cleans perfect...it is a static generator...i always discharge the energy buy grabbing the chair arm rest and slide my fingers across until i contact the metal holding the chair arm and i never discharge it to my electronics....i do this because i WOULD discharge the energy onto electronics on my desk and it would cause my LG c2 tv/monitor to bug and cause an invalid input error that would require my pc to be rebooted to be recognized by my tv/monitor.
05:26 to adjust the backrest ,chair has a gear shape part many gaming chair has this mechanism and if you don't follow the way as i say and wiggle it and push it down as you do in video 05:39 you will definitely break the gear or make it out of it's shape or even you will break the end of the lever that connects to the gear ,you should pull the lever up and adjust the backrest with your back as you lean and release the lever if it doesn't go all the way down pull it again adjust the backrest one centimeter forward or backward with your back and release the lever until it goes all the way down by itself not by force be sure this way the very end of the lever will fit in position on the gear that is inside that plastic frame
Would you prefer this one over the secretlab Titan Evo 2022 as a Gaming chair?
Dude does the best reviews for chairs. If you can get your hands on a ThunderX3 Core chair you will love it and will enjoy reviewing it
thanks for the rec!!
Dude you got me in fckn tears with that "not for short sexy ppl like me" hahahaha
was so unexpected, thank you for that ;D
The more videos I watch, the more I believe this is Professor Lando's equally informative alter ego. >_>
Hahah you can't compare me to him...that dude is a genius!!
Ive had my Titan 2022 XL for a few weeks so far. Waiting for the delivery of a new back (screw problems with the base/ back mechanism) but its usable and I’ve been loving it. I was curious about the Iskar but previous reviews ive watched put it in a maybe category. Thanks again for your great reviews. Pure bliss mode activate!
What are thoughts on the titan ? How’s the lumbar support???
@@davidpinto7639 The support is great. I haven’t had lumbar support in my chairs for years and i tend to slouch. It takes getting used too but i like i can adjust the angle of the back too. Sit forward while working,sit back while listening to music etc.
If you compare this to an ergonomic chair, what would you recommend? I am thinking of buying the cougar argo. Greetings. From Chile watching your videos: D
80% of people, an ergonomic chair is going to be better! And also, SO COOL! Hi to my Chilean fam!!
Bro the sizing bit was so helpful. I got the iskur x and have the leg restriction problem. I'm 6' even and although it's a great chair, it feels like it's made for a smaller person in general. The xl isn't much bigger for that either. Looks like I'll have to pick a different brand maybe 🤔
You aren't suppose to use a headrest for your head, it's for your neck. The first time I used a gaming chair with the gimmick I quickly figured it out due to how all of them are just uncomfortable on the head, but perfect at the neck
Just picked up the PVC leather Iskur for 280.00 price was unbeatable and that lumbar support was screaming my name.
what's that white metal keyboard? can i get an affiliate link for that i'll buy it
🛒 Glorious GMMK Pro - shrsl.com/3ep9o
It's that keyboard. The white keycaps were generic keycaps I found on a random website!
Wow this was very informative, love the small details and jokes here and there. Looking forward to see your channel grow
Thank you!!
Fun fact razer does tell you how much it weighs when you are done shopping and it tells you tracking and it tells you how it weighs while you are there
The bolt looks crooked so you might have cross threaded it, it's always a good idea to turn the bolt lefty loosy until you feel/hear it click which means it has seated into the groove to screw in correctly and then you can tighten it. but also, it could have just been messed up.
After seeing this video, I just place the order for the fabric Iskur..and for the headrest that I get an additional unit which designs for ENKI, and it's a perfect combination now lol...
thx dude.
A taller person is not necessarily wider. So the width might not be an issue to a six foot person if they were more slender. the chair would also "not fit" a 5'1" person if they were also as wide.
It feels really constricting haha. I’ve had chairs where there’s a bump or plastic, but at least you can still move it around. With this, it’s like Gandalf you shall not pass.
@@Ahnestly Thats good to note as this is one of the chairs I'm considering. Other options are the Secret Lab and the Noble Chair. Watching your reviews does help tremendously
Compared to the Herman Miller Gaming/Aeron and/or Autonomous what are your thoughts?
I would love to see this one in quartz! 😭
The lights in your pc are amazing, and I'm quite jealous
I’m in the vast minority on this one but I actually prefer good side support from a bucket style. Ended up passing on this one on that basis. Missing the all metal adjustments though
Very very interesting
Just in case you fall out of the side of the chair from gaming I guess.
I'd understand if you're someone with not too wide shoulders - you'd properly fit in there without a weird slouch.
@@TheBjjninja something like that 🤣👍🏼
which one you prefer this razer iskur or secret lab titan evo 2022??
I personally prefer and most of my friends all prefered the titan evo 2022! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links as it helps this channel a LOT!!
awesome review!
I want to buy this Gaming chair, even if I like to sit cross-legged as a 5'8!
but on my mind is also the Enki
are you considering to review these chairs?
- Corsair T3 Rush
- Corsair TC100 Relaxed (both Corsair chairs are similar but maybe you could find out their differences)
- CoolerMaster Synk X Cross (it is about 600€ in the EU which this chair also has this weird rumbling mechanism)
Very Thorough review, exactly what I was looking for!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the kind words!!
Very detailed and complete review :) Thanks!
Thanks!!
In my country it costs 628$, many buyers reported defects. It's hard to go for it, taking that risk but it seems it has the best support for back, all others chais just hace pillows
What would you prefer for yourself? Regular size or XL?
hi :) i got few questions about the chair because its one of the only chairs i can get at a reasonable price in my country.
for some reason the place that sells the chair doesnt specify the size of it only the specs of it. it says 136KG weight limit so i guess its the standard size.
im 5'5 / 5'6 height. do you think it will be a good chair for me?
i can see you seating on the chair but you got the xl size and it just look uncomfortable. seating correctly is very important to me because i got knee problems and back problems.
would love some help
❤
If you're between 250-350 and want a good chair do yourself a favor and buy a Herman Miller Aeron C. I'm 6'1 and a bit north of 300 and this chair is the best 1.3k I've ever spent in my life.
Also highly recommend the Aeron and HM products in general. Sometimes theyre out of people's price range and they don't allow for the "pure bliss mode", which I made fun of until I tried it...I can never read my long work documents the same way again...
Have you sat in any Corsair chairs?
Naw i have not unfortunately. I try not to do so many gaming chairs unless there's something really unique about it!
@@Ahnestly fairs, I've read Corsair is similar to Razer but possibly could have gotten right where Razer failed
Great review as always! That intro too! But calling it "Almost Perfect" is such an overstatement. There's just too much downsides to this chair. I'd rather have a Mavix/Autonomous chair if I really cared.
Awesome review as always, keep up the good work and you should do a video on that sweet looking pc of yours. I'm definitely curious about it.
Lol, nevermind I found it. Watching now.
is the fabric version actually out yet?
Hi so which one would you buy this or the Secretlab XL 2022 ..... also would you get the fabric or fake leather option ? i get 15 percent off on the Razor being a Veteran and they are already on sale for 10% right now ....
Very tempting, but I would still go with a Titan Evo 2022. I had so many people (both online and in person) express they liked the Evo much better!
Whichever you decide on, please consider using my links - it helps my channel a lot! Thank you and let me know which you decide on!
Hey Ahnestly, love your video reviews. I have a question. I'm 5'9 and 165lbs, which size of the Razer Iskur you think fit me best? You think the XL would fit me best, considering it fits for you as someone who's 5'6?
I really don't know...I didn't dig into the sizing of the Iskurs that much. All I can say is the XL is massively deep, but feels small due to the great walls of china on the sides.
Hey whatsup! this is a great video it showed everything I needed to know. So like its sale day and Im having trouble deciding this and a Autonomous ergo pro. And it is a typical argument of seating right? Most would say that you should definitely pick a the ergo chair. But im not sure after seeing this and other videos, theres more to balance like build quality and noises the chair makes etc.. So I have to ask what do you think?
I have heard bad things about the Ergo, but also hearing poor QC on the iskur as well. If you're open to alternatives, I made a video on what chair should you buy, outlining various chair choices for different heights. I test a lot of chairs with friends who come over, so that video was based on a lot of friend feedback too! ruclips.net/video/Q0ONgr9Yz0k/видео.html
I’m probably going to buy this chair for my game room. I was waiting for fabric and I should have figure u would be the first to review it
Hello, could you put the measurements of the seat of the XL model? (depth and width).
I bought the normal size, but i think it is small for me. Thanks.
Hey man, I've just watched your video, great review.
I got this chair too and I'm thinking exactly the same about the headrest. I've seen Razer have made others headrests : "Razer Sneki Snek Head Pillow" (which is really cool!) and "Razer Head Cushion".
Do you think you could try out the difference between the original and these 2 ? Thanks !
I don't know if Razer would send those over. My preference is always go for the thinner one!
I just got the Razer head cushion which does fit better behind your head as it is thinner at the top and cradles the neck as it comes down farther, BUT it is stiff memory foam and hard. There is a zipper at the bottom, I'm tempted to see if I can add a thin softer layer inside or may contact them to ask why the thing is so damned hard when the original cushion is nice and soft. I'm guessing it's because it's "formed" to the shape it is with the neck support side wings.
Hello can you recommend what is the most comfortable reclining chair that could be use to lie down on while working.
That stitching on the seat is in a snakeskin pattern
Oh I didn’t notice that!
i am 5'5 would be good this chair for me?
Thanks for the video bro, looking for a extra wide chair :)
Thanks detail and thoughtful analysis👍
Thank you!!
@@Ahnestly I bought Iskur Fabric Standard after watched your video. Fabric texture is good, keep my body back stays warm, mesh seat is too cold in winter. Iskur only problem is the seat pad too flat, I expect seat pad should have a little bit curve. Will the seat pad become softer after daily usage?
When gaming aesthetics gets in the way of function
is pvc leather different from pu leather? if they are different then which one is better
PVC leather is supposed to be a bit tougher but less breathable than PU!
So this is the ISKUR XL? not the regular?
Yup! Not sure why they decided to send the XL...
@@Ahnestly Hi ! and wow! really? I thought it was going to make much bigger, now that I look at it you are right about the seat part, it looks very tight for the XL. I've been looking for a review of the Iskur XL for the last few days, but I can only find the regular one. I even found on Instagram a photo where the 2 sizes are, but not in video, for a size comparison.
this chair would fit better on my civic R than behind a desk
LOL
Debating between this in XL and the Anda Kaiser 2...
That's a tough one...I personally would pick the SL evo 2022 out of all 3. I've had a lot of friends over, and they all chose that one over every other gaming chair
@@Ahnestly I would gone SL if price wasn't the issue but I went with razer as I got it for $320
hey man i really appreciate this review; i had bought an iskur but due to the leg room issue i cancelled and will find something else.
Glad it helped!
@@Ahnestly lol just to follow up, i'm typing this right now in my evo titan 2022 thanks in part to you dan. thanks again! your thorough reviews really really helped me. do you have patreon?
I don’t as of yet. I’m still working a 9 to 5 with a family so it’s been tough thinking through what perks to give donors…maybe when I get ready to make the switch I can look into it more!
What makes a used classic Aeron C for a 6' fella better than this for very long periods of sitting / more comfort?
Aerons have a TON of R&D that went into their design so while not everyone will feel great, it'll feel better for more people than the Iskur IMHO. Also, the Isku and Aeron suffer from the same issue - you don't get a lot of flexibility in how you sit bc the Aeron has hard plastic sides whereas the Iskur has the great wall of China on the left and right sides of the seat pan!!
I have the standard version, made a video on my channel. I am 6'2", but I got it before there were even talks of an XL variant. I want to return mine for the XL version lol.
lol try selling it!
How’s the this stack up against secret lab chairs and corsair t3 rush ?
Depends on your needs. I have never used the Corsair, but based on pictures, I would not use it. I think the fight is between SL and Razer at this point. Razer offers better lumbar, but SL offers more flexibility with decent lumbar! Whichever you decide, please consider using my links as it helps this channel a lot!
secret lab 2022 or raser, which one do you choose?
2022 for now. Razer for sure if they get rid of the stupid wings
Almost perfect. Everything you pointed out is pretty much what was stopping me investing too
Especially the head pillow
So I can get the leather variant for 225, I know you said titan still beats this chair but I wonder if for the price it's a steal to just get?
Hm some people swear by this chair! Haven’t heard a lot of feedback, but also consider this video has 1/20 of the views as my secret lab videos!
Any please help me choose btw Bauhutte Gaming Chair G-350-BK or Razer Iskur. which one i should buy?
Awesome review. I have a question, What's the size of seat room of Iskur xl? I got Iskur and I feel locked into the chair. size for Iskur: depth=21.1/4, width (back)=14, width (front)=15.1/4. I just wanted to compare how much more room I will get if I replace it with XL.
Ahnestly, I'm 5'6 and even I felt like I didn't have a ton of room in the XL!
@@Ahnestly I'm 6'2. So do you think I need to think about other chairs instead of Iskur XL? I usually spend 10 hours per day at my desk because of my work.
I just measured my XL seat and if you go all the way back to the very back edge under the lumbar pad, it's 23.5" deep. From the lumbar pad pushed all the way back it was about 21.5. Back width is 15.5" and front width is 17.5". I'm 6' and the seat comes to just behind my calves when I'm seated.
@@DWB65 im 6' too, how is the comfort of the chair? can u sit crosslegged?
@@DWB65 Thanks for the info. Ity looks more comfortable. I returned My Iskur and waiting for a deal on XL.
Returning my Iskur XL because two nuts where stripped out the box. I could legit not get passed step 1. Contacted razer and they said I've must've done some wrong, which I didn't, I know how to screw in a bolt into a nut. Horrible experience and customer service. Although the chair felt nice and I was excited, this experience is disappointing amd RAZER needs better quality control. Lately a lot of their products give out really quickly l. So I'll be going with something different.
Ouch sorry to hear that man...
is there any way to remove the wings? or get something to deal with them
if you're short so why did you buy the XL? have you tried the smaller version? How does it feel? I'm also 5'6
Razer sent me an xl for some reason :-/ haha
They’re called bolsters not wings. It’s the same design as a racing seat in a car..
I picked up the Regular sized Iskur, being 6'3 it was a bit too small. Not in the height or anything other than hip space. I returned it and got the XL, I was trying to save some money and it didnt work out.
@Anhestly my friend I am between 2 chairs. Razer iskur (I have tried it) and Anda seat kaiser 2 (I have not tried it). I see you have tried both. Which one do you prefer and why?
Hm I gave my Anda Seat away a while back...I have to say, I think I prefer the Iskur because of the adjustable lumbar!
@@Ahnestly thanks a million for the reply. I think I will go for the Iskur too. How about comfortability between the two?
They’re both ok. Didn’t love the pillow on the Anda and hated the high leg bars on the Iskur. I think most people that came over to test my chairs preferred the titan evo 2022 over all my gaming chairs apart from my Herman miller gaming chairs!
@@Ahnestly Thanks a lot my friend.
im 5'6 150lbs . im thinking about this in the regular size or the secret labs fabric , idk which to go for
I would say 90% of people who have come over to sit on both chairs (both people shorter and people who were the right size for the XL) have said the SL is much better for them. I just released a sizing guide for it in case you're interested! If you decide to purchase, please consider using my links as it helps this channel a lot!
Hi bro. Does it worth to pay more and get this instead of almost having same options with Iskur X?
I'm not sure :-(
@@Ahnestly do you recommend it at all bro?😂 in video i felt many times that u belive there are better options
After having other people sit in my iskur comparing it to the titan evo 2022, they all said titan evo 2022. Everyone is different, but bc of that, I think that might be the way to go if you want a race car style gaming chair! I have sizing guides on that chair so take a look! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! Helps my channel a lot!
@@Ahnestly Definitely I would do that brother . Thanks for your time and help🤍
Just saw on the website. Looks like you can get an upgraded head cushion. Any thoughts on it?
Trying to decide if I should buy this or the Titan 2022
It's a tough one. Still no perfect gaming chair. You put the lumbar of the razer with the openness of the titan evo and you got a finally perfect gaming chair
@@Ahnestly perfectly said! Lol, wish they would've gone with that.
This or the titan evo fabric?
Depends on your preferences! Titan Evo - more flexible. Razer - more lumbar!
Just saw it online you can what I guess is an upgraded head cushion. Any thoughts on it?
Nice but pricey, better chairs out there for a decent price tag.
I’ve got a car with high bolsters and it’s perfectly comfortable when you have proper posture
To me it just looks like the chair is too big for you
Can you comment on the seat cushion, like what it's made of. I currently use a TP9000 and the seat is amazing, after 5 years it still feels great. (yes I know the back stretches, but the Raynor group will replace the back for 5 years)
Not sure what it's made of, but it's a medium softness i would say.
6:14 is the back or seat crooked? Or is it a weird warped look due to camera? It looks like the seat-right is down-sloped and/or the seatback-left is downward.
I think something is def crooked, but you don't feel it in the chair...at least I didn't!
so titan 2022 it is then ?
I would say so!
I just order this chair it’s it good for back issues/ problems also the lumbar support is kinda of like the gtrx Pillow support that was so uncomfortable for me :/
Would you chose/recommend this or the DX Air? Price is the same for me in my country !
Im the same size as u
Thats a tough one. I think I'd prefer this since the dxracer uses so much plastic but, the breathability is top notch on the dxracer!
Im 5.8 173 cm do you think i can touch the ground comftabily in lowest setting ?
Not with the largest size that I have here. My favorite racing style gaming chair right now though is the Andaseat Kaiser 3 - check out my video on that one!
@@Ahnestly which seat is firmer secretlab or iskur ؟
Purchased this chair less than nine months ago. Regrettably, the pedestal itself has failed. Wobbles back and forth and from side to side. Using this chair for less than 4 hours a day. At 6ft 195lbs I'm well within the range of recommended use. Aesthetically appealing -YES, can't say that for the hardware. I've read dozens of reviews were the welds break, but that is not the case here. Seems the pistons have failed @ the lumbar and pedestal. It's been in the same position for the past nine months except fo the occasional adjustment of the armrests. We live in a acquisitive society, who knows that better than the manufacturer? Aesthetics rule, where functionality is lacking. It's no wonder the landfills are over burdened with products like this.
Did you contact Razer for warranty support?
@@Ahnestly I'm in the fourth day dealing with support at Razer, after 3 videos they want me to beat the piston out of the chair with a hammer, so they can determine what is defective. Mind you I have a paralysis in my left arm and hand, Can't squeeze toothpaste out of the tube much less hold a hammer. I explained that to them at the onset. But they are detemined to have me do it, and believe me I've tried. Most ridiculous support i've encountered, ever!
ruclips.net/video/FyHnxqeHI-4/видео.html
I'm 6 2 and wish I wouldn't got a gaming chair. Their nice but not the best for long sessions imo. You do have to def watch out for wings on the bottom.
I saw this video and go ahead and bought the chair, man, I'm 5'7 and it's really designed for taller guys, my butt and lower back hurt even more on this than a 10 bucks Ikea chair because the lumbar doesn't hit the right spot (it's hitting more of my spine instead of lumbar), and it's too firm for my butt I have to stand up and walk around to relieve the pain after an hour of league
return!!
So, I get that the seats deeper but is it flatter than a secretlab Titan? I'm 6ft 2 and I find the titan hurts my thighs because the chair base is quite tilted
Great, I always sit correctly so I don't care about the "silly" design of the seat, moreover, in the fabric size standard version, it costs me € 110 less than the Titan EVO. At this point I think I'll get the king of gaming chair! Thanks as usual for your great advice!
Which lumbar support better between iskur and titanevo2022?
If you're looking for supportive lumbar...neither. I think you'd get better lumbar support in a office/ergo style chair. Check out my most recent video on my top chair picks for 2023, which is divided into height ranges and price ranges for easy viewing!!
@@Ahnestlyoky thx u, I'm searching a chair based on razer iskur price range.
@@Ahnestlyand my height only 174 cm
Got a 200$ mesh office chair from my local computer store. Feels fine.
Pure Bliss Mode???
Lean back aaaalll the way and just float in your chair. It's pretty freaking amazing. I made fun of gaming chairs for a long time until I tried that mode and it changed a lot for me...lol
bro, you are 5'6" (1.67cm) and yet you are reviewing the XL version of the chair? you didn't even meet the requirement for the Regular variant (170cm -190cm)....
Got it free...
He was very clear they sent him it, and that the chair wasn’t built for him. Decent opinions to me.
Thank you for listening :’) really appreciate it!!
I seen this chair in the razor store but I wouldn’t pay more than 200 for it
