wtf is "butterfly" vs "frog"

[@Inforza]

i work everyday with office furniture, and i have to say i am impressed about this chair with the adjustability. If i have to complain about something, then i would say the armwrists are too small and that you can't slide the back of the chair more backwards. Our cheapest NPR certificated office chair costs around $500 .. I also don't like the cover for the gasspring, it just looks so cheap. For the casters it depends on the floor what is the best to use. This is laminate, so a softer caster like this is great. On carpet it doesn't roll that well, and you are better off with harder plastic casters

[@Kuchen90000]

The tilt on this thing is crazy, that would be nice to have on more regular office chairs. for the price its made of too consumable of materials, its not gonna wear as nicely as some more hard wearing chair fabrics / alcantara / leathers. $500 is also approaching the point where I'd expect the seat pan to remove for easy cleaning, at office chair prices I'd want more feature parity tbh

[@NaughtyKlaus]

Word of advice: Don't buy the Enki X. I did a year ago, and it is honestly horrible. Without being able to recline, it's disgustingly uncomfortable to lean back. Also, no head pillow makes a huge difference. Also, when I did my research into the Enki X, it was advertised as having adjustable arms and it doesn't go into great detail about what can be adjusted, so thankfully this video tells you about that.

Okay this is packaged EXACTLY like Secret Lab, which makes me think they either copied the manufacturing of Secret Lab or they are using Secret Lab to fab these chairs on their behalf. Even the instructions are 90% identical

[@IkeMD]

Same thought. Im guessing its made by Secret Labs

[@keonxd8918]

I mean, both started up from the same country so there's going to be similarities

[@kosmicosis]

NGL I have the Enki and it is the best "gaming" chair I have ever owned, and mostly for the reasons hit on here. The wide base: every other chair I had before had a taper at the thighs of the seat that pushed on my legs, which means discomfort. The pillow: great shape, more supportive than others when reclining, but not needed for straight up. The cushion: sure it is less "plush" but you actually want a tougher cushion for an all day chair (especially noticeable after WFH post-COVID).

[@kevinahearn8764]

love my enki. worth every penny. had it for almost a year and its so solid. everything metal and very adjustable except the lumbar but the lumbar is perfect for me and probably most. ill let you in on a secret though. i ordered it from amazon and said the chair never got here. amazon has some crazy policies so yeah i got it for free. i would buy it for 400 tho for sure i wasnt even sure if the amazon thing would work so i was ready to drop the money. not to mention if you buy from their website you get a free %65 keyboard worth $170. dont know if its any good but sounds like a steal seeing as the chair is worth 400 already.

[@Skipperthekitty]

Is it still going good for you?

[@kosmicosis]

@@Skipperthekitty Yep, still riding the Enki, and it is still the best desk chair I have owned. The bottom cushion has held up wonderfully. The leather has very minor wear. The only issue that has popped up as it is aging is the hydraulic cylinder is starting to lose its firmness. It tends to need to be reset to the optimal height every other day or so. This is pretty normal wear though.

[@ajkleipass]

Design-wise, it feels like a rebranded DX Racer chair (I have a DXR for bigger guys). I've adapted mine with a fleece fabric cover and a pillow for an added seat cushion. The steel frame, while great for support, is excellent at aggravating the damaged discs in my lower spine (L1 to S2). The fleece is because the chair's finishes aren't necessarily suited to gaming shirtless and / or without pants on. 😳😲🤣

I wonder how long the fake leather lasts. My Maxnomic chair's leather started peeling after 4 years and after 5 years I bought a SecretLab chair with softweave. I really wish Secret lab would have this Razer Enki lumbar support because the lumbar cushion included is too thick for my taste but without it I feel bad. Razer seems to have created a very good chair this time.

Hey Colton, try to sit on it for 6 hours straight for 1 week. See if the foam is still good and comfortable. I often buy chair that said able to support 120kg and failed me within days. My butt is the sacrifice because the foam always failed and made my butt touched the wooden base. I am 92kg.
