We’ve collected some of our favorite gaming chairs deals for you below, and they will all give you the best bang for your buck.

How to choose a gaming chair on Prime Day

There are a lot of things that go into a gaming chair that are worth considering before buying. The most important one is that a lot of chairs that are marketed as “gaming” don’t necessarily have fancier features that make them better for sitting on them for long periods of time. That’s why it’s good to know the important specifications to look at when buying chairs while also being aware that some of the best chairs on the market tend to be high-end executive office chairs that cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. It may not be worth it for everybody to spend that much, so here are a couple of things to look at.

First of all, your weight and body size make a big difference in whether you’re going to be comfortable in your chair, and that isn’t only talking to folks who are heavier. While it’s true that being heavy means you’ll want to be sure that the chair can take your weight and that the armrests can fit your waistline, it’s also true that if you’re short, you need to make sure your chair can reach the floor, or have some kind of leg support. The latter is a common issue that people don’t realize, but if your feet don’t reach the floor, or there isn’t some kind of leg rest, it’s going to get very uncomfortable very quickly.

Another thing to consider is lumbar support. While a lot of chairs tend to achieve that with an additional pillow, it’s better to grab an ergonomic chair that is already sculpted and made with lumbar support in mind. Probably the best chairs in this category are Herman Miller and Herman Miller alternatives, which are also great for breathability and circulation, but these tend to be exceedingly expensive. On that note, try to aim for a chair that has some kind of venting in the back, especially if you spend hours sitting down at your desk; you’ll want some kind of ventilation in the long run.

When it comes down to it, the most important part of picking an item to suggest is if it’s going to give you the best features for the cheapest price. Unfortunately, that can be a moving target, especially as people’s preferences and price brackets can vary quite substantially, depending on what they are buying. That’s why we’ve done our best to pick chairs with various prices and specs to ensure that you’ll always find something that perfectly fits your needs and budget. That ensures you’re always getting the best bang for your buck.

The fate of physical game discs seems to be set in stone, with an all-digital library becoming increasingly inevitable. Microsoft, though, may at least give Xbox owners a way to bring their shelves full of physical games along for the journey.

A leaked Microsoft roadmap sent to game publishers details the planned rollout of Xbox’s Disc-to-Digital program alongside a much larger backwards-compatibility push. The document reportedly targets August for general availability, October for the full launch of original Xbox games on PC, and a gradual Xbox 360 rollout beginning in 2027.

Gaming mice usually let you adjust sensitivity, polling rate, and button assignments through software. Pwnage’s new Vanta goes a step further by letting you physically change how each primary click feels.

The company describes the Vanta as the world’s first lightweight gaming mouse with mechanically adjustable clicks. Turning a pair of screws changes how much force and movement the left and right buttons require, without replacing the switches or adding more electronics.
