Would you daily drive the Scorpion chair?! While we couldn't figure out how to adjust the monitor distance, the manufacturer sent over an email letting us know it actually is possible. Guess poor Elijah didn't need to be stuck with the "front row of the movie theater" experience after all...whoops.
@@KY_CPA it is surprisingly comfortable. Has lots of options as far as sitting positions. If you are over 6ft though your feet will hang off the end. I'm 5'9. It is awkward getting in and out of. I wouldn't recommend it as a daily though. Use it for games, but I would recommend a separate more traditional office chair and desk for work.
The startup i used to work in used a similar chair before to literally remote control forklifts in a warehouse so that was a very common situation for us
#1 VERY pleased the person MOST excited for it got it. #2 I would LOVE to see what it's like running this thing! I wanna see what Elijah has to say about this, AFTER he's running it all day. Then a week. Then a month.
A single ultrawide monitor would definitely be the way to go for this IMO, a lot of the problems people mentioned were due to the triple-monitor setup (wobbliness and being too wide to see all at once).
not to mention the distance they had the monitors at was in fact adjustable bu moving the tail bit backwards giving u a nice extra distance, add to it a 32:9 odyssey g9 or ark and with extra space and less than triple display u're full set
It didn't look like the monitors were independently wobbling, it looked like it was the arm as a whole so using just 1 monitor might not solve that aspect.
Elijah's enthusiasm for the scorpion chair is contagious! It's great to see him enjoying the perks of his job. Plus, the chair's design is both crazy and strangely captivating.
His character is really wholesome, I just can’t stand working with people who have two left hands and in his case even feet. Clumsy people annoy the heck out of me and I can’t understand why they can’t get it together for at least a few minutes.. I feel sorry about it, but it makes me angry
@@electronus97 oh no that’s bad, you shouldn’t be angry over something you can’t control. I do know it’s not the persons fault, I have ADHD and went through every possible treatment (including adderal) since I was six years old. I still struggle with some things over 2.5 decades later. So I totally get it, it’s usually not your fault not being able to concentrate on something, so don’t be to hard on yourself. I would never scold a person for that, I just get annoyed inside myself.

I love Elijah's reaction. He was so happy to win this thing. I love his humour so much. He's so funny. We should see more of him in these types of videos.
As the designer of this chair, I would like to say that the screen, which can be adjusted forward and backward, is currently in the most forward position. 😂
does it not bother you that they point out so many flaws or oversights, but those flaws/oversights are just things they haven't bothered to read in the manual? Like the powerstrips, and thinking the table wasnt adjustable forward and back
@@jtestaccount2431 If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools... Your's is a scorpion chair and all its wonderful treasures. What's more? It'll tilt for you, my son
I'm sure Elijah is going to wake up each morning with a smile on his face knowing he is going to be sitting on the Scorpion chair at work all day long just like he had always fantasized!🎉😮😊
the extra distance linus said is actually possible, yes its not doable on the fly but it can be adjusted by moving the lats bit of the tail full backwards, add to it a g9 or ark and u're set with proper distance (but yea its a bit gimmicky ofc)
I'm pleasantly surprised that everyone said the chair is actually really comfortable. It's good that in the pursuit of the ultimate gaming chair the company didn't forget the chair part.
I think every chair is surprisingly comfortable when you first buy it. That's the padding. Give it 2 months to form/deform and then you can tell whether it's built for comfort or for being replaced.
@@psilynt1 that's the issue with "gaming" chairs, wow so comfortable until the padding depresses and then it's to the doctors for your new case of hemaroids

Maybe a solution for the keyboard/mouse tray angle while fully reclined, you could add an additional axis of movement for a steeper angle. Then, to prevent the keyboard from sliding off of the tray, you could implement holes for the stands on the rear of the keyboard to be slotted into with a securing device below to lock the legs into place.
The MWE emperor chair is similar, made in Canada. Poetic Technologies also made a chair which had a base which rotated with the sun for use if you had a window behind you
I think to solve the FOV problem is to just get one big curved monitor and then you don't have a bezel in between creating a bigger immersion feeling. Overall it looks pretty shaweet
These types of videos are my favorite. I bought the keymouse from one of these wire vids and it basically saved my career after acquiring some fun nerve pain in my arm. Thanks LTT!
The chairs awesome, the price point is absurd though, but you can get the same functionality from a solid gaming chair, if you get an additional footrest, an attachable swing arm for a keyboard, and a console for one of the chair arms.
For my flight sim rig... I bought the cheapest racing rig on the auction site I could find because it was cheaper than buying all the square tubing. Then I modified almost everything about it LOL. I've yet to find anything like this that works out of box. But I suppose for most people some assembly required doesn't usually include the MIG welder, band saw, taps, dies, additional metal, grinder, sander, drill press. It really is the only way to get one that fits you perfect... for this I would probably be cutting up and modifying the screen mount to make it both adjustable and further out.
Working from home now, and as soon as I have a dedicated office that is all to myself I'm getting one. Three 27" monitors in tie-fighter configuration. Stoked to hear great things about the seat itself!
@@user9267 I've already got a nice desk setup with an aeron chair and a nice desk with the same monitor setup I mentioned. The ability to sit back at that angle and have the monitors follow the seat position blows a desk out of the water in my opinion.
look at what dan said about the scorpion chair on H3, he hated that thing, said it destroyed his back. There are other products like this, albeit not nearly as cool looking but I would consider other options.
@@JohnnyStauf It's still a terrible implementation of the idea, at least for the price. There are better options and if not, you can pay someone $500 to DIY a better option and still save money
@@user9267 ok, who do you know that will do the structure, motors, controllers, wiring, for $500? I would genuinely love to know. I work in manufacturing and I don't know a single professional in the Pacific Northwest who would even look at a project like this for $500. And honestly the scorpion chair itself is whatever, the IW-320 from Imperator Works (who actually makes the base unit that Cluvens is working from) is more the style I want anyways. Also, who's to say you couldnt get the unit, then take a nice office chair like my aeron and pull the seat off, then 3d print a carbon impregnated adapter bracket to swap in a better seat and back while retaining the rest of the functionality? Bracket would be maybe $40 to print at the local college maker space plus 10-15 in hardware, so not too bad. I dont understand why people want to yuck someone else's yum so often in the tech space.
I gotta say... that thing looks cool as hell. Didn't know what it was at first--it just looked like a really cool looking scorpion at first. Then I could see it was actually a chair. And finally I noticed the triple-screen setup. Truly overkill, but that is one of the coolest looking... *things*... I have seen in a long time.
I've been using an electric recliner chair + height adjustable desk for years now, gives similar experience to something like this but imo less restrictive and can function in a conventional way when not reclined back.
One thing I will mention - as a bigger guy myself, I feel much more comfortable in chairs that recline well. It takes a lot of weight off of my back to be able to recline around a 30-40 degree angle. Something like this is a bit annoying to get into as a fat dude, but after you are in it, the experience would likely be fantastic and not only that, getting to rest your arms on some actually wide and relatively comfortable looking arm rests is incredible. Linus, get ready to see Elijah's productivity shoot through the roof, because that's gonna make working an absolute dream.
Those monitors seem way too close. And the chair isolates you from people. Maybe Dan would like it as it would be exponentially harder for people to ask him for help when he is trapped in this monstrosity 😂
There is a podcast called H3 Podcast, their Producer is called Dan. Ethan the host of the Podcast bought Dan the 5 Monitor version for this Scorpion chair and he set in it for like a year as a joke
on the H3Podcast they had this chair for years for the main producer Dan (whos a Fan and got the Screwdriver) but they eventually switched it because it was a nice gag but very uncomfortable
$2k for that is honestly really good. Its super unique and can just look cool sitting there. A proper desk and chair is like $1k already. And office equipment levels is like $3k per desk setup. So you could literally get this as your desk if you worked in an office for cheaper than regular setup of a big wooden desk etc
I have a medical condition where unless my joints are supposed, they dislocate, so once I eventually have the disposable income for one of these, I'll definitely be getting one. Limiting my constant pain will significantly improve my work efficiency and quality of life. The only hurdle is the cost, if that wasn't a factor I'd have one already.
11:55 is a pretty easy fix. You can either just keep it tight enough to hold an angle, but you can force move it....or swap the bolt with whatever quick release style fits.
Yasss, that keyboard was actually exactly the form factor I have been looking for and the little display looks like fun, hopefully can get it hooked up to iCue. Have kept consistently missing all the group buys on 94+ size keyboards cos they are so rare and are sold out so quickly its nice to finally get the timing right on a nice looking mech kb. Ty Linus!
I have this keeb, the screen is only approachable from the Epomaker software, and can only show date in the year-month-day format (so you have to set your pc to that to sync it), outside world temperature, and a very scuffed cpu activity monitor that shows 00% in Cinebench (presumably 100%) and anywhere between 2 and 5% in gaming. The outside world temp also does not handle negatives well, showing a garbled mess once you go into negative celsius. Furthermore, if you intend to use it wired 24/7, the bright-green battery LED does not turn off, resulting in a fair bit of light spillage near the 4/enter keys. But at least you can show pretty much any gif you want on it.
i must say - you can use an HDMI output on your graphics card to run directly to a dolby atmos enabled (or not enabled) surround sound receiver and send full dolby atmos to it and use this with as many speakers as that receiver would allow you to use. I currently have a movable desk with a curved Samsung 32 G8 on an Arcam 5.2.4 setup. I have an 77" LG C2 OLED on the wall which I can use if i either position my monitor in a different place or move the entire desk out of the way. Granted, this scorpion setup would probably be your only means of viewing, but - the option for the audio is still there.
I’m so glad someone actually did a review on this product it’s been on my wish list for years and I’ve been skeptical about buying it waiting around for revisions and improved versions to release to show they didn’t just make a one and done but actually are actively trying to make it better as time passes although I’ve really seen no changes being made over the years. I may just have to get my hands on this and make the necessary revisions myself and I may even make it a video this way others can address the issues them selfs as well making this worth buying rather than buying and regretting it.
Dan from the H3 podcast had one of these for like 2-3 years and hates it by the end. All the sharp corners are pretty annoying and by the end of hit he said he was basically just sitting on the metal and it caused tonnes of back pain
@@sexy_koala_juice yeah I could see that being an issue some changes I had in mind was rolling the corners to round them a bit. Cable management for sure. Bracket bracing for the monitors. Proper installation of RGB led strips. Changing the foam from that high density foam to a gel infused memory foam with a dense foam base. Just off the top of my head to name a few things I’d change
Just looking at it, you can clearly see the standard parallelogram used for adjustments in the video (18:20). Not sure how they missed that. I feel like since that is the only major downside (aside from cost, size, shape, etc), someone needs to make an addendum.
I have this chair. Bought it a year and a half ago. I love it! But assembly is a pain in the ***, and good luck trying to move it up the stairs (took me 6 months to get that done!). With 5 monitors it was a great productivity workhorse, but I just swapped out the bottom 3 monitors for a single 49" ultrawide - now it's wonderful for gaming! Anyway, the biggest con: It may scare the people who come into your house.
You should try the (made in Canada) version of this thing from MWE lab. It also looks much less ridiculous without the whole scorpion deal, and is supposedly a good deal more sturdy.
Despite the style/space issues, I feel like the value proposition of this chair/thing really is there. When you get to having the kind of computer that can support this kind of thing, the chair isn't that far out in price, and it does seem to have most of all the things you'd really want it to have.
I wasn't expecting to start a linus video with portuguese audio! I'm sure that's highly appreciated for those who doesn't speak English as well, funny thing is that I learned lots of English watching those videos.
Yeah Elijah is a cool member, though a bit accident-prone based on the two other videos I've seen them in. (falling down stairs, a minor electrical shock, and bonking their head on a shelf, (thankfully he was wearing a helmet for that one))
Would you daily drive the Scorpion chair?!

It's still a terrible implementation of the idea, at least for the price. There are better options and if not, you can pay someone $500 to DIY a better option and still save money
@@user9267 ok, who do you know that will do the structure, motors, controllers, wiring, for $500? I would genuinely love to know. I work in manufacturing and I don't know a single professional in the Pacific Northwest who would even look at a project like this for $500. And honestly the scorpion chair itself is whatever, the IW-320 from Imperator Works (who actually makes the base unit that Cluvens is working from) is more the style I want anyways. Also, who's to say you couldnt get the unit, then take a nice office chair like my aeron and pull the seat off, then 3d print a carbon impregnated adapter bracket to swap in a better seat and back while retaining the rest of the functionality? Bracket would be maybe $40 to print at the local college maker space plus 10-15 in hardware, so not too bad. I dont understand why people want to yuck someone else's yum so often in the tech space.
I gotta say... that thing looks cool as hell. Didn't know what it was at first--it just looked like a really cool looking scorpion at first. Then I could see it was actually a chair. And finally I noticed the triple-screen setup. Truly overkill, but that is one of the coolest looking... *things*... I have seen in a long time.
Put Dan in it for WAN show and the H3 fans will lose their minds
1:16 - As a mountain biker, I winced when you tapped the handlebars on that fella. Lol
1:50 *professional unpackaging technician, do not attempt* i am enjoying watching it
I've been using an electric recliner chair + height adjustable desk for years now, gives similar experience to something like this but imo less restrictive and can function in a conventional way when not reclined back.
Of course it’s Elijah that’s gonna end up daily driving this thing hahaha. Looking forward to that floatplane video
How long the insurance policy allowed him to use the chair?
I think that is the first floatplane exclusive that would tempt me to sign up.
One thing I will mention - as a bigger guy myself, I feel much more comfortable in chairs that recline well. It takes a lot of weight off of my back to be able to recline around a 30-40 degree angle. Something like this is a bit annoying to get into as a fat dude, but after you are in it, the experience would likely be fantastic and not only that, getting to rest your arms on some actually wide and relatively comfortable looking arm rests is incredible.
Linus, get ready to see Elijah's productivity shoot through the roof, because that's gonna make working an absolute dream.
Those monitors seem way too close. And the chair isolates you from people. Maybe Dan would like it as it would be exponentially harder for people to ask him for help when he is trapped in this monstrosity 😂
There is a podcast called H3 Podcast, their Producer is called Dan. Ethan the host of the Podcast bought Dan the 5 Monitor version for this Scorpion chair and he set in it for like a year as a joke
feel like he would hate it because he would have to run off just as much but now he has to get in and out of the chair, as a tall person no less lol.
Monitor distance and angle is adjustable… they don’t know this point
I lost it when he casually said “I wonder how many of the injury reports are me” 😂😂😂
According to Alex on floatplane, a lot of them.
I was waiting for the nice guy who helped unpack and set it up to sit in it at least once😕
The look of panic on his face after winning at 18:39 is priceless haha
Bruh
on the H3Podcast they had this chair for years for the main producer Dan (whos a Fan and got the Screwdriver) but they eventually switched it because it was a nice gag but very uncomfortable
I’m glad Elijah won he was the most excited about the chair
Dan the producer used this same chair for a year on H3 Podcast just for the memes. His back really hurt by the end!
7:47 linus drop tips 🤣
🤣😂😂
I just clicked on the timestamp, not knowing where it would go and laughed as hard as I did the first time.
linus drop things, onto himself!
$2k for that is honestly really good. Its super unique and can just look cool sitting there.
A proper desk and chair is like $1k already. And office equipment levels is like $3k per desk setup. So you could literally get this as your desk if you worked in an office for cheaper than regular setup of a big wooden desk etc
8:31 I saw that one coming since Linus said "say something" and I still laughed way too much lmao
Real ones know that Dan from H3 used to use one of these as the command center
Only reason why I clicked. 🦶🪖☮❤
I have a medical condition where unless my joints are supposed, they dislocate, so once I eventually have the disposable income for one of these, I'll definitely be getting one.
Limiting my constant pain will significantly improve my work efficiency and quality of life. The only hurdle is the cost, if that wasn't a factor I'd have one already.
7:48 that made a fantastic noise against your head. 1 point chair, 0 points Linus
Dan is the queen
11:55 is a pretty easy fix. You can either just keep it tight enough to hold an angle, but you can force move it....or swap the bolt with whatever quick release style fits.
Somehow I can picture Linus modifying this thing to make it move and walking around the office with it to freak his staff out.
😒
Much more Michele reeves than LTT
Nah... not Linus. Alex on the other hand...
With the engineering team, that's a real possiblity
But he will scare the sh!t out of the arachnophobes...
Have you aver watched more than one ltt video?
Yasss, that keyboard was actually exactly the form factor I have been looking for and the little display looks like fun, hopefully can get it hooked up to iCue. Have kept consistently missing all the group buys on 94+ size keyboards cos they are so rare and are sold out so quickly its nice to finally get the timing right on a nice looking mech kb. Ty Linus!
I have this keeb, the screen is only approachable from the Epomaker software, and can only show date in the year-month-day format (so you have to set your pc to that to sync it), outside world temperature, and a very scuffed cpu activity monitor that shows 00% in Cinebench (presumably 100%) and anywhere between 2 and 5% in gaming. The outside world temp also does not handle negatives well, showing a garbled mess once you go into negative celsius. Furthermore, if you intend to use it wired 24/7, the bright-green battery LED does not turn off, resulting in a fair bit of light spillage near the 4/enter keys. But at least you can show pretty much any gif you want on it.
i must say - you can use an HDMI output on your graphics card to run directly to a dolby atmos enabled (or not enabled) surround sound receiver and send full dolby atmos to it and use this with as many speakers as that receiver would allow you to use. I currently have a movable desk with a curved Samsung 32 G8 on an Arcam 5.2.4 setup. I have an 77" LG C2 OLED on the wall which I can use if i either position my monitor in a different place or move the entire desk out of the way. Granted, this scorpion setup would probably be your only means of viewing, but - the option for the audio is still there.
I seriously cannot wait for Elijah’s update video after using that thing as his workstation for six weeks.
I’m so glad someone actually did a review on this product it’s been on my wish list for years and I’ve been skeptical about buying it waiting around for revisions and improved versions to release to show they didn’t just make a one and done but actually are actively trying to make it better as time passes although I’ve really seen no changes being made over the years. I may just have to get my hands on this and make the necessary revisions myself and I may even make it a video this way others can address the issues them selfs as well making this worth buying rather than buying and regretting it.
Dan from the H3 podcast had one of these for like 2-3 years and hates it by the end. All the sharp corners are pretty annoying and by the end of hit he said he was basically just sitting on the metal and it caused tonnes of back pain
@@sexy_koala_juice yeah I could see that being an issue some changes I had in mind was rolling the corners to round them a bit. Cable management for sure. Bracket bracing for the monitors. Proper installation of RGB led strips. Changing the foam from that high density foam to a gel infused memory foam with a dense foam base. Just off the top of my head to name a few things I’d change
Look at the manitcore by the same company
Pllllllllllllllllllll
What's this called?
Im really happy that the guy won the chair he seemed like he would actually really enjoy it! cool stuff
16:16 - "Could you imagine if I brought this home to my wife? She would be so upset." *laughs*
Great moment :D
The screen mount is adjustable. They even show you how to do it on the product page.
Just looking at it, you can clearly see the standard parallelogram used for adjustments in the video (18:20). Not sure how they missed that. I feel like since that is the only major downside (aside from cost, size, shape, etc), someone needs to make an addendum.
As extravagant as it is absurd. That does look like a great chair to relive them old school arcade gaming booth experiences.
Linus becoming so aware of child safety Hazzards because he's a parent now is so wholesome 😂
Bro, he's been a parent for over a decade, I think his son is turning twelve this year
i wish my dad was interested in things I like so we could have a better relationship
His children are old enough that he doesn't need to care for child safety anymore
💀@@jinxblaze
tbh i see those claws as headphones stands/holders
I have this chair. Bought it a year and a half ago. I love it! But assembly is a pain in the ***, and good luck trying to move it up the stairs (took me 6 months to get that done!).
With 5 monitors it was a great productivity workhorse, but I just swapped out the bottom 3 monitors for a single 49" ultrawide - now it's wonderful for gaming!
Anyway, the biggest con: It may scare the people who come into your house.
That's definitely a pro
How much tho
What on earth do you do that you need 5 monitors?
@@jg97873 Multibox mmos
was gona say, go for a big single monitor vs 3.
glad to see linus is still killin it, never stop making videos please
Hold on.... Is this Dan from H3's scorpion chair ?
Was going to say that. H3H3 producers old chair
the Scorpion chair claims another victim
@@antoniskazou 😂 will its torment of humans ever end
You should try the (made in Canada) version of this thing from MWE lab. It also looks much less ridiculous without the whole scorpion deal, and is supposedly a good deal more sturdy.
MWE is the inventor of this workstation. bit disappointed LTT chose to test this sad thing
As a Scorpio, no whole 🦂would be a deal breaker. The white cord on a black scorpion must be color matched at this price, or forget it, though.
That is the coolest chair I've ever seen.
"The assembly video was only 3 minutes long, it can't be that hard"
Was it a stop motion like them Lego videos clicking together 🤣
hey thats Dan's scorpion chair from the h3 podcast
i like the fact that sometimes the thumbnail was a mysterious product and sometimes this
Despite the style/space issues, I feel like the value proposition of this chair/thing really is there. When you get to having the kind of computer that can support this kind of thing, the chair isn't that far out in price, and it does seem to have most of all the things you'd really want it to have.
Would be really cool to see LTT do a DIY version of one of these chairs.
NAHHHHH fam the way those monitors were flailing around when y'all raised the tail had my heart flippin
1:57 phhhfft professional unpacking technician 💀
Can't wait to hear what H3 has to say about this lol probly somethin like "its about f****** time"😂😂
i came looking for the h3 comments lol i hope they see and talk about this!
Should have just bought it secondhand from them
I wasn't expecting to start a linus video with portuguese audio! I'm sure that's highly appreciated for those who doesn't speak English as well, funny thing is that I learned lots of English watching those videos.
This is the kind of chair that OGs that play NOD in Command and Conquer would use, you know who you are!! Peace Through Power!! 😉🥳
KANE LIVES IN DEATH!
KANE LIVES IN DEATH!
I've never seen Elijah before but wow he passes the vibe check! I would love to see more Elijah in the future, he seems awesome!
Yeah Elijah is a cool member, though a bit accident-prone based on the two other videos I've seen them in. (falling down stairs, a minor electrical shock, and bonking their head on a shelf, (thankfully he was wearing a helmet for that one))
He's been in a couple of the $5000 tech upgrade videos. And was hugely entertaining.
I think this chair is a good alternative to having a whole room just for your computer.
Alternative? lmao
Linus dropping that 2nd access panel directly onto his face absolutely sent me into hysterics
