Let’s start with the basics here. What is PC gaming and what type of chair do you need? A gaming PC is simply a personal computer (PC) that has been optimized for gaming. When you think of PC gamers, you can imagine someone sitting at a desk (often a gamer desk) with a display monitor, a special computer tower, a keyboard, a mouse, a controller, and any other accessories they player wants. Like other desk chairs, the gamer needs something to support them for long periods of time. PC gaming chairs are often ergonomic with support for your back and armrests for your arms. Some have armrests that move in a variety of directions. Shop PC gaming chairs now >
