what experts say
- >“It's comfy, has wide shoulders to accommodate people of varying sizes, and it's quite adjustable with solid lumbar support. The usual issues with gaming chairs are here, like how it doesn't manage body heat all that well and the seat depth isn't adjustable.”— WIRED
what the community says
- >“I found this back support completely sufficient; I didn't find myself with any back pain after several weeks on it. The Iskur V2's main competition, if you want a gaming chair specifically, is Secretlab's Titan Evo, which is honestly not that different overall.”— WIRED Reviewer (Julian Chokkattu)
