Announced in 2020, the Secretlab Omega Gaming Chair is a high-end pick available in a range of upholstery options. Like many top-tier office chairs, the Omega offers 4-way adjustable armrests, and its 165-degree reclining angle is also typical among the highest-rated gaming chairs. The chair also ships with memory foam neck and lumbar pillows, and it has a weight limit of about 240 pounds.
The BestOffice Ergonomic High Back Office Chair has a slightly higher 250-pound limit. In terms of size, the Omega offers a 22” x 19.3” seat and a 21” x 31.5” backrest, and all this is built onto a carbon steel frame supported by an aluminium base.
Consensus
our Verdict
The SecretLab Omega Gaming Chair is hailed as the holy grail of gaming chairs, as it offers good adjustability and varied upholstery options. Buyers can opt for premium PU leather, genuine NAPA leather, or Softweave Fabric, but none of these come close to the kind of breathability that a mesh fabric chair such as the X Chair ATR Management Chair offers. Nonetheless, owners will be able to configure the seat height range from 18.9” to 21.9” or recline its backrest up to 165°.
The chair also allows for tension adjustment for comfortable rocking, and its armrests are also 4-way adjustable, so they can be moved up, down, left, right, forward, backward, or diagonally. Unfortunately, there’s no adjustable lumbar support, and its seat depth is also not configurable.
ReasonS to Buy
Ergonomics and adjustability
The SecretLab Omega Gaming Chair’s seat height is adjustable by 3.7”, and its armrests are fully adjustable by about 3” for comfortable gaming sessions.
There’s a tension knob to adjust rocking tension, and the chair can also recline 165 degrees, but there’s no seat depth adjustment or built-in lumbar support.
Great build quality
The chair has a 240-pound weight limit and is supported by a sturdy aluminium base.
Reason to Avoid
No dedicated lumbar support
There’s no lumbar support mechanism built into the chair. However, it does ship with a lumbar pillow.
