INTRODUCTION

   Gaming keyboards, mice and headsets will always "own" a large percentage of the peripherals market but how many of you knew that currently gaming chairs are actually competing with those product categories in sales? Well there's really no way for us to know which models (price-range) are more popular among consumers/gamers but numbers (both in terms of sales and availability by old and new manufacturers) clearly show that people who spend many hours playing games or even typing are finally taking seriously health issues with their backs. Granted not every single gaming chair out in the market provides good neck and lumbar support and quite honestly some are below average in terms of build quality but racing models like the Nitro by AK Racing which we reviewed in the past do extremely well in those areas. As expected AK Racing doesn't stop the design and manufacture of new models but surprisingly enough they also update old ones and so today we'll be taking a look at the Premium V2 Racing Chair.

   AK Racing is one of the world’s premier gaming chair manufacturers, producing the highest quality products that are available today. With a focus on ergonomics, design and functionality, AK Racing gaming chairs have quickly become the smart choice across the eSport scene. Our close ties with top eSports teams such as Team Dignitas have given us the leading edge in meeting the durability and comfort requirements of gaming professionals everywhere.

   Both the Nitro and the Premium V2 gaming chairs by AK Racing are quite similar both in terms of size and available features but they differ quite a bit in terms of design (the Premium V2 is more "elegant") which is great since that way more consumers may find something to better fit their taste. So once again we see the same metal frame and class-4 gaslift which can support people weighing up to 150Kg, high-density shaping foam padding, excellent quality PU leather (synthetic) cover, height adjustable armrests, backrest adjustment (180 degrees) and the somewhat classic tilt/rocking function (up to 12 degrees) we find with most desk chairs. Also just like the Nitro gaming chair (and most models in the AK Racing product line) the Premium V2 also comes bundled with two thick pillows to provide extra comfort and support for your head/neck and back. Let's take a closer look however and see just what you can expect from the Premium V2 Racing Gaming Chairs by AK Racing.
