Description:
The Razer Enki Pro gaming chair is a premium gaming chair which is very comfortable, but it will set you back a pretty penny and lacks style.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Razer Enki Pro: One-minute review The Razer Enki Pro is a premium, high-end gaming chair that provides you with immense comfort, to the point I would consider
it one of the most comfortable gaming chairs I have ever sat in. It offers exceptional lumbar support, even for those who enjoy sitting in weird positions in their chair - myself included. You get 4D armrests, which are a joy if youre someone who prefers a certain position for typing and then another for gaming. However, one of the major downsides here is the fact that it will set you back $999 / 999, which is double the cost of even some of the best gaming chairs on the market like the Secretlab Titan Evo , which comes
in at just $500 / 469.

At this hefty price point, you would expect a feature-packed seat with close to perfect ergonomics, but the Razer Enki Pro falls a tad short here. The Herman Miller x Logitech Embody gaming chair is another top-end premium seat, which comes with ergonomics designed to support your entire back and a
12-year warranty in comparison.

Another qualm Ive got with the Razer Enki Pro, which is almost definitely
more of a personal one, is the lack of style on offer from the chair here. It looks like a bog-standard gaming chair when it comes to colour, design and silhouette, which is a bit disappointing coming from Razer - whose products are typically very stylish.

Of course, this will be down to personal preference, but the hardback shell
of the seat is just not for me.

Chairs that offer a similar feature set include the Secretlab Titan Evo 2022 and the AndaSeat Kaiser 3 XL , which both come
in closer to the $500 mark. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more. Contact me with news and offers from other Future brands Receive email from

You can pick up the Razer Enki Pro in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Stock is limited in other regions thanks to how large and heavy the chair is, which can make shipping difficult.

You can grab a couple of special editions for the Razer Enki Pro, including the Lamborghini, Williams Esports, or Koenigsegg editions, which come in at a higher price point of $1,299 / 1,299, but the base chair only comes in a
black and green colourway.

The chair often goes on sale over at the Razer website, where you can typically grab the seat at $100 / 100 off making the value proposition a little better. Razer Enki Pro: Specs Swipe to scroll horizontally

Material

Alcantara and EPU synthetic leather Razer Enki Pro: Design and aesthetics Extremely heavy 4D armrests Alcantara seat One of the first things youll notice about the Razer Enki Pro, before even unboxing the chair, is the weight.

At around 30kg, this chair is extremely heavy, to the point that it feels weighty even when just moving it around or swivelling. While the weight does make the chair seem very heavy-duty, it can get annoying to constantly have
to work hard to swivel the chair while youre sitting in it, just because of how heavy it is.

A lot of this weight is likely down to the hard shell exterior of the seat, that isnt my cup of tea in terms of style. It makes the chair appear bulky rather than sleek and slender, which is what I would prefer.

You have the benefit of 4D armrests, which is almost expected when spending this much on a gaming chair. These allow you to move the armrests completely so they can sit exactly as you like. They can be adjusted up and down, left and right, forwards and backwards, which makes this perfect for those who
want their armrests a certain way for gaming and then another way for typing.

The Razer Enki Pro also comes with a 152-degree seat recline, which is pretty common in many gaming chairs. It also has weight-adjusted tilting, meaning
you can lean back in the chair and it will adjust accordingly without the
need for any manual adjustments.

I didn't use this feature very often because Im currently trying my best to repair my absolutely awful posture by sitting up exceptionally straight all the time, but when I did decide to sit cross-legged in the seat, it was great to be able to comfortably lean back. (Image credit: Future) Something that sets the chair apart from alternatives on the market is the Alcantara
leather, which feels like suede.

This is much harder wearing and moisture resistant when compared to typical leather, but still doesnt absorb all of your sweat that some felt or cotton chairs do. Personally, I wasnt a fan of the feel of the Alcantara, but again, this will be down to personal preference and taste.

In terms of the silhouette, you get 110-degree extended shoulder arches and a 21 base to allow for optimal weight distribution for long-lasting comfort and all-day gaming.

These wider shoulder arches make the chair suited to those who may have a wider frame, but it's worth noting that it has a maximum user weight of
136kg. You get built-in lumbar support - which isnt adjustable - that encourages you to sit upright. Razer Enki Pro: Comfort and adjustability Adjustable headrest Extremely comfortable Able to sit for long periods
without strain After constructing the chair, it was very quick and easy for
me to determine that the Razer Enki Pro was one of the most comfortable
chairs I have ever sat in. I typically find myself fidgeting a lot throughout the day, changing positions and trying to sit in weird ways just to feel comfortable, but this was an issue of the past - for the most part - with the Razer Enki Pro.

The lumbar support is pretty good; it would be nice to be able to adjust it
to suit my back, but it still feels very comfortable even when Im sitting at my desk all day long.

I feel content sitting in this chair for long periods of time without any strain. I often find myself getting up and stretching, and walking around every so often in my other chairs just because I feel achy and strained, but
I didnt need to do this in the Razer Enki Pro.

Of course, it's recommended to get up and move around at least once an hour
if youre sitting at a desk for long periods of time.

The one downside when it came to comfort was the headrest. It isnt as well cushioned as I was expecting, so I ended up just removing it altogether. The headrest is magnetic, meaning that removing it or adjusting it is super simple, so no matter what your preference is, youre able to get the headrest where you like it. (Image credit: Future) Razer Enki Pro: Assembly All tools in the box including a pair of gloves Very heavy box Id recommend two people for assembly When first unboxing and constructing the chair, I struggled a tad. Ive built countless gaming chairs in my time, thanks to the never-ending stream of review seats, but the Razer Enki Pro takes the crown for being one of the heaviest chairs Ive ever built.

However, it was very easy to put together in spite of that, with everything just sliding into place. It only needed eight screws to attach the back to
the base of the seat, which was very simple, but lifting the actual base up and trying to slide it onto the guide rail was so difficult to do alone, and
I needed to call in some help in order to do this.

While it could be done solo, I wouldnt recommend it. Should I buy the Razer Enki Pro? Buy it if... You want one of the most comfortable chairs money can buy The Razer Enki Pro is one of the most comfortable seats I have ever used. It provided me with excellent lumbar support to the point I wasnt achy or strained even after sitting for long periods of time. Youre a fan of the typical gamer aesthetic Considering it comes in one black/green colourway and features a hard shell exterior, this chair is very gamer-y in style. Don't
buy it if... You want more features out of your gaming chair With 4D armrests and weight-adjusted tilting, there isnt a lot on offer from the Razer Enki Pro. Other chairs at this price point come with footrests, cooling systems
and adjustable lumbar support. Also consider... If youre not sold on the

Read our full Andaseat Kaiser 3 XL review How I tested the Razer Enki Pro
Sat in all day for work and all evening for gaming Used for a month in total Compared to other gaming chairs I spent all day, every day, using the Razer Enki Pro for a month, including working all day and gaming all evening.

I would sit in it for multiple hours at a time, including full working days.
I would adjust the armrests and recline often to change seat positions or to relax in the evenings when I was gaming.

I compared my experience to multiple other gaming chairs I have reviewed over the years, right down to the build experience and design, to the features on offer and the comfort.
