There are a lot of great deals you can pick from when it comes to gaming chairs, with a lot of variety based on your price bracket and the sort of features you’re looking for. 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.

Perhaps all those hours spent playing Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, or StarCraft II could finally prove useful outside your gaming setup. The U.S. Department of Transportation has been recruiting gamers to become air traffic controllers, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the unusual approach is already helping the Federal Aviation Administration make progress toward its hiring target.

Valve keeps widening the SteamOS net, and more handhelds are finally getting caught
Valve's SteamOS handheld empire just got a little bigger
The Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS installed.

SteamOS isn't just a byproduct developed for Valve's gaming hardware, and the company is proving this by expanding support for other handhelds aside from the Steam Deck. While the platform hasn't been exclusive to the Steam Deck, more handhelds from MSI, Ayaneo, and Konkr are getting support for Valve's latest SteamOS beta.

As spotted by Notebookcheck, Valve’s new SteamOS 3.8.25 beta expands support for several third-party handhelds. This doesn’t amount to Valve giving every device full SteamOS certification, but the update brings another handful of machines closer to working properly with the company’s gaming-focused operating system.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Tested: Intel has finally arrived in handheld gaming
Intel's new handheld chip brings serious performance without treating the battery like an afterthought.
MSI Claw Intel Arc G3 Extreme Logo 2

I first caught a glimpse of Intel's new handheld silicon at Computex 2026, where I saw early hardware powered by it, including the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ and Acer Predator Atlas 8. But seeing a chip run a demo on a show floor and actually pushing it through real-world workloads are two very different things. When MSI eventually sent me the production Claw for a spin, I finally got that opportunity. I only had the device for a short time, but that brief window was enough to make one thing clear: Intel's Arc G3 Extreme is a seriously capable handheld gaming platform.
