INTRODUCTION

   Much like many hardware components and peripherals in the PC market using a proper chair while working and/or gaming is something many people often tend to overlook. Now i had the "good" (or bad, depends how you see it) fortune of growing up in the 80's and 90's when PC gaming was taking its very first steps and back then there was nothing like a good chair we could use. Yes, there were many very basic office chairs one could choose from which however as expected were nowhere near to be called ergonomic and so as I've pointed out in other reviews many from my generation have back and neck problems, primarily because of that. Fast forward to today and even though gaming chairs may not be the most ergonomic out there they are still light years apart compared to what we had back then, not in just terms of comfort but also quality and looks. The HERO TX premium gaming chair by noblechairs has been on the receiving end of many awards and that’s what I’ve been using in the lab for the past month.

   noblechairs is a multi-award-winning brand, headquartered in Berlin, with offices situated across the globe. noblechairs are renowned for manufacturing gaming chairs with the focus on comfort, ergonomics, and high-quality materials, for both the office and gaming space. A synonym for world-class, noblechairs is one of the most recognized products for consistent comfort and quality, even after prolonged use.

   The HERO TX is the breathable fabric version of the HERO series (available with synthetic faux leather, high-tech faux leather and real leather) and is available just in anthracite color. The fabric used is not only breathable but it also features fleece material on the interior (for improved comfort levels) and stain protection. Needless to say since the HERO TX is a premium model noblechairs has also equipped it with a steel frame (supports up to 150Kg), deform resistant cold foam padding, class-4 gaslift, built-in lumbar support (high-end bucket seat feature), 4D adjustable armrests (height, position and orientation), removable head and back support pillows (dressed with high quality velour fabric), 60mm caster wheels, backrest adjustment (up to 125 degrees), z-support tilt/rocking (up to 11 degrees) and height adjustment mechanism and a powder coated 5-star aluminum base. Noblechairs is another manufacturer i haven’t had anything from in a while so let’s see how their HERO TX model measures up to its competition.
