Razer has simply unveiled the second iteration of its Razer Iskur gaming chair, with the Razer Iskur V2 sporting so many tweaks and adjustments that it’s principally a totally new chair. Most significantly of all, although, it’s really snug this time.
I’ll be frank, whereas my predecessor at PCGamesN discovered the unique Razer Iskur gaming chair to be snug and succesful sufficient to warrant an 8/10 rating, after I reviewed it for CustomPC, I discovered it distinctly missing. The much-vaunted adjustable lumbar assist was poorly carried out and the remainder of the chair was missing in lots of different areas. That’s why I’m all of the extra impressed by the enhancements to the brand new Razer Iskur V2 that simply launched at CES 2024.
The massive gross sales pitch of the unique Iskur was a lumbar again assist part that was adjustable. It could possibly be introduced ahead or pushed additional again to ostensibly present kind of assist. Nonetheless, It wasn’t really adjustable when it comes to the peak at which it meets your again. As such, I simply discovered it push into my coccyx and was distinctly not snug.
The brand new model, then, incorporates three essential adjustments. First, the peak of the height of the lumbar assist curve might be adjusted (by way of the left knob) in order that it meets the curve of your decrease again correctly. The depth of this peak may also be adjusted (by way of the best knob), so you possibly can have it push kind of into your again.
The ultimate piece of the puzzle is that the assist piece strikes round, in simply the identical method because the ThunderX3 Core. This implies the assist piece can transfer with you as you alter your place. We discovered it vastly efficient on the ThunderX3 and our first impression of the Iskur V2’s implementation is constructive too.
Elsewhere, Razer has additionally improved the recline system in order that it feels way more balanced and easy to lean again right into a relaxed place. Plus, the seat again can now be tilted to a most of 152 levels, from a earlier most of 139 levels. We had been inspired to strive the seat on this full recline place and it’s fairly good for a little bit of a lie down, and crucially the chair didn’t really feel prefer it might topple backwards on this place, which is greater than might be mentioned of many gaming chairs.
Additional aiding a better number of sitting positions is that Razer has drastically lowered the peak of the aspect seat and again wings, stopping these from digging into the edges of wider customers and permitting you to sit down cross-legged on the chair.
The Razer Iskur V2 will probably be out there for pre-order from Jan 23, 2024. Razer will probably be releasing pricing info nearer to that date.
