[@LinusTechTips]

Would you daily drive the Scorpion chair?! While we couldn't figure out how to adjust the monitor distance, the manufacturer sent over an email letting us know it actually is possible. Guess poor Elijah didn't need to be stuck with the "front row of the movie theater" experience after all...whoops.

[@geoffreyporter530]

I literally do own one. not my daily though

[@Lotus_1776]

[@geoffreyporter530]

@@KY_CPA it is surprisingly comfortable. Has lots of options as far as sitting positions. If you are over 6ft though your feet will hang off the end. I'm 5'9. It is awkward getting in and out of. I wouldn't recommend it as a daily though. Use it for games, but I would recommend a separate more traditional office chair and desk for work.

[@theolaa]

A single ultrawide monitor would definitely be the way to go for this IMO, a lot of the problems people mentioned were due to the triple-monitor setup (wobbliness and being too wide to see all at once).

[@thecoon3193]

Yup was just thinking the samsung ARK would be perfect for this

[@I-qg3qk]

I didn’t even think about that, definitely

[@arencorparencorp2189]

not to mention the distance they had the monitors at was in fact adjustable bu moving the tail bit backwards giving u a nice extra distance, add to it a 32:9 odyssey g9 or ark and with extra space and less than triple display u're full set

[@Hagop64]

It didn't look like the monitors were independently wobbling, it looked like it was the arm as a whole so using just 1 monitor might not solve that aspect.

[@theolaa]

@@Hagop64 Having less weight hanging off the end of the arm will help with the wobble, that's more what I was getting at.

[@joseperez-ig5yu]

I'm sure Elijah is going to wake up each morning with a smile on his face knowing he is going to be sitting on the Scorpion chair at work all day long just like he had always fantasized!🎉😮😊

[@priyanshugoel3030]

Seems comfortable enough to sleep actually.

[@x-fds-straudt]

I think to solve the FOV problem is to just get one big curved monitor and then you don't have a bezel in between creating a bigger immersion feeling. Overall it looks pretty shaweet

[@leenonolee4629]

I saw a Russian keyboard wherein each key was a mini LCD/LED video monitor. You can program each key with a different icon/symbol. So cool!

[@BloodEagleMWO]

i must say - you can use an HDMI output on your graphics card to run directly to a dolby atmos enabled (or not enabled) surround sound receiver and send full dolby atmos to it and use this with as many speakers as that receiver would allow you to use. I currently have a movable desk with a curved Samsung 32 G8 on an Arcam 5.2.4 setup. I have an 77" LG C2 OLED on the wall which I can use if i either position my monitor in a different place or move the entire desk out of the way. Granted, this scorpion setup would probably be your only means of viewing, but - the option for the audio is still there.

Maybe a solution for the keyboard/mouse tray angle while fully reclined, you could add an additional axis of movement for a steeper angle. Then, to prevent the keyboard from sliding off of the tray, you could implement holes for the stands on the rear of the keyboard to be slotted into with a securing device below to lock the legs into place.

[@UltraZelda64]

I gotta say... that thing looks cool as hell. Didn't know what it was at first--it just looked like a really cool looking scorpion at first. Then I could see it was actually a chair.

[@Recklesseyeballer]

@1:40 you forgot to say "that's what she said!!!" I'll be here all evening everybody, ty and good night. 😂😂😂

[@justplainmark]

Exactly what I was thinking when he said that! 🤣🤣

[@bIxckjack]

Great minds think alike

[@johant73]

a side mounted speaker on the scorpion tail seems to be the best place for the speaker.

I just clicked on the timestamp, not knowing where it would go and laughed as hard as I did the first time.

[@kitsunekaze93]

linus drop things, onto himself!

[@Avi8tor857]

For my flight sim rig... I bought the cheapest racing rig on the auction site I could find because it was cheaper than buying all the square tubing. Then I modified almost everything about it LOL. I've yet to find anything like this that works out of box. But I suppose for most people some assembly required doesn't usually include the MIG welder, band saw, taps, dies, additional metal, grinder, sander, drill press. It really is the only way to get one that fits you perfect... for this I would probably be cutting up and modifying the screen mount to make it both adjustable and further out.

[@sety409]

Link your setup or something.

[@sgtmaggi]

I dont think id want this every day but id love to try one. They seem hella cool

[@DirtCheapFU]

As extravagant as it is absurd. That does look like a great chair to relive them old school arcade gaming booth experiences.

[@wormpower]

Dan is the queen

[@woodycantsee]

I lost it when he casually said “I wonder how many of the injury reports are me” 😂😂😂

[@Metal_Maxine]

According to Alex on floatplane, a lot of them.

[@STARDUSTCODE]

this with a 55 4k and some huge ass speakers !!! next level

[@justinclarke5815]

Looking forward to seeing the long-term review and how he enjoys using it

[@aiden0319]

Real ones know that Dan from H3 used to use one of these as the command center

[@DanielBasilicato]

Only reason why I clicked. 🦶🪖☮❤

​@@Sol4rOnYtwhy? It's not like he even assumed anything about the video. Just made a kinda funny comment aboutw wanting one

[@cashwood]

@@olutukko2681 it's an npc comment

[@mistic808]

I would actually love to see Elijah using the chair on a day to day basis I don’t think I’d ever buy the chair for myself it’s too expensive and I don’t have the space but it would be nice to see what difficulties he has with it and the things that he ends up liking about it

[@HW_Printing]

The Donk as the panel fell onto Linus's head got my dying of laughter.

[@2nd-place]

Dan the producer used this same chair for a year on H3 Podcast just for the memes. His back really hurt by the end!

[@husbeard]

1:16 - As a mountain biker, I winced when you tapped the handlebars on that fella. Lol

[@radarw64]

Get the Hacksmith to adapt the screen to extend out and tip up or down.

[@regularpit1508]

I believe the claw is a headphone holder which is well thought out for a impractical chair.

[@nadkudo1798]

8:31 I saw that one coming since Linus said "say something" and I still laughed way too much lmao

[@JohnnyStauf]

Working from home now, and as soon as I have a dedicated office that is all to myself I'm getting one. Three 27" monitors in tie-fighter configuration. Stoked to hear great things about the seat itself!

[@user9267]

You could probably get a MUCH better experience for under $2000 with a better chair and monitor stands

[@JohnnyStauf]

@@user9267 I've already got a nice desk setup with an aeron chair and a nice desk with the same monitor setup I mentioned. The ability to sit back at that angle and have the monitors follow the seat position blows a desk out of the water in my opinion.

[@Jimbly985]

look at what dan said about the scorpion chair on H3, he hated that thing, said it destroyed his back. There are other products like this, albeit not nearly as cool looking but I would consider other options.

[@user9267]

@@JohnnyStauf It's still a terrible implementation of the idea, at least for the price. There are better options and if not, you can pay someone $500 to DIY a better option and still save money

[@JohnnyStauf]

@@user9267 ok, who do you know that will do the structure, motors, controllers, wiring, for $500? I would genuinely love to know. I work in manufacturing and I don't know a single professional in the Pacific Northwest who would even look at a project like this for $500. And honestly the scorpion chair itself is whatever, the IW-320 from Imperator Works (who actually makes the base unit that Cluvens is working from) is more the style I want anyways. Also, who's to say you couldnt get the unit, then take a nice office chair like my aeron and pull the seat off, then 3d print a carbon impregnated adapter bracket to swap in a better seat and back while retaining the rest of the functionality? Bracket would be maybe $40 to print at the local college maker space plus 10-15 in hardware, so not too bad. I dont understand why people want to yuck someone else's yum so often in the tech space.

[@marcq1588]

This chair will give some ideas to dentists!!! hahaha Interesting. I wrote that before the junior writer came in and said he feels like in a dentist chair! Suggestions: Have a full metal tablet with some magnets underneath the keyboard and the mouse, just enough that the mouse can slide if upside down... The left little display on the keyboard should have a big RED display when the wife things you should think about her and go to bed!!! hahahha

[@teleioswi2993]

I hope they start to offer a detachable RGB gamer commode so I can get some serious 12 hour sessions in on this thing. Love it! 10/10

[@drassx615]

Somehow I can picture Linus modifying this thing to make it move and walking around the office with it to freak his staff out.

[@user-xj5xp6qz5g]

😒

[@theslimbin]

Much more Michele reeves than LTT

[@_aullik]

Nah... not Linus. Alex on the other hand...

[@TheHammerGuy94]

With the engineering team, that's a real possiblity But he will scare the sh!t out of the arachnophobes...

Hold on.... Is this Dan from H3's scorpion chair ?

Was going to say that. H3H3 producers old chair

@@antoniskazou 😂 will its torment of humans ever end

[@ryanmiller7358]

Fitting aesthetic for the bugman lifestyle.

[@Impossibly-Possible]

need to be able to slide the chair back or the monitors backward or forward changing view distance and angle.
