When you hear the phrase “gaming chair” you can pretty much picture the sort of size, shape, and potential comfort you’re in for. We’re talking a look that takes its inspiration coming from the race-car world, with bucket seats and a strong robust build. Playing PC games is akin to driving a fast car around a track, or something. Anyway, the design does make sense for gaming - where the ergonomic support and full body seat-action does well for those long sessions where a proper headrest can feel like a godsend.

That’s the general idea anyway, and where MSI’s MAG CH130 X (points for giving it a legit MSI-style product code) sets itself apart from the pack is with its stylish and sleek leather and velvet finish. One that takes the often bright gaming chair look into the realm of all-black and minimal, which admittedly isn’t one you normally associate with gaming chairs. And really it adds a premium finish and touch that feels a cut above the competition.
