Choosing a gaming chair for tall, heavy guys is never an easy task. For one, what if you’re not the only gamer in the family? – Do you get one that’s just good for you or do you get a chair that you can share? Is that even possible?

The answer is yes. There are chairs that fit many body types, and quite comfortably too. Finding them is the tricky part. You need to know what adjustable features to look for and what manufacturers excel in gaming chair design.

In this review, we’ll take a look at the DXRacer Formula Series OH/FD101/NW gaming chair. This one is designed for tall and short users, and has decent ergonomic features that should help a wide variety of gamers.

DXRacer is one of the most popular gaming chair manufacturers on the planet. The company prides itself on giving customers only the highest quality chairs in terms of comfort and performance, including all the accessories needed for a full experience, without charging top dollar.

The Formula Series OH/FD101 is a solid gaming chair for both average-sized and taller gamers. You may also enjoy it if you like a wide angle of adjustment as well as proper spine support.

It’s also a good choice if you want your gaming setup to have a gaming chair made by one of the top manufacturers in the industry. The simple black and white contrast also makes it eye-catching and non-interfering with a green screen streaming setup.

The OH/FD101 comes with molded high-density foam for unparalleled comfort. The 52kg/m3 foam density is on par with the highest-quality padding in the industry, and with the OH/FD101 you don’t have to pay top dollar for it.

The cover combines a strong mesh with PU leather, which does a good job of regulating temperature and is also easy to clean and maintain. The seat is not extra-wide so it might not suit everyone but the chair itself has a high weight limit of 450lbs.

The high backrest also makes the chair useful for gamers up to 6’2” tall, although the optimum height recommendation is between 5’8” and 5’10”.

The frame is what you would expect in this price range. A strong metal frame and a heavy duty aluminum base with a five-point star design take care of weight support and stability.

Although the backrest has an ergonomic design, it is not the best in the business. You may notice that the lumbar support cushion is not the best either. However, not everyone needs high-end lower back support so even if you’re having a hard time with neck and shoulder pains, the OX/FD101 should be more than enough for you.

The armrests are adjustable but they are one-dimensional. The good news about this is that you don’t have to read pages of instructions on how to use them. The padding on them is rather soft which should make long gaming sessions a lot more comfortable.

Underneath the left side of the seat you’ll find the classic tilt lever. You can use that to lock the angle of your backrest so that you can extend and relax at will. However, keep in mind that the chair doesn’t have a tilt lock system so the backrest will slowly reset to its default position if you step out of the seat.

The DXRacer OH/FD101 is a true gaming chair. It has the looks, adjustability, and ergonomic design requirements met. However, not all gamers want the same thing and there are two areas in which this gaming chair lacks. The adjustability of the armrests could be better. The visuals are also a bit sporty so they might not please the old-school gamer or the casual gamer that needs a multipurpose chair.

If you’re looking for an equally comfortable alternative but with some extra executive features then you might want to consider the DXRacer Drifting Series DOH/DM132 gaming chair. Its design allows it to double as an office chair and the 3D adjustable armrests are extra wide and firmer which will provide better support in the long run.

Although the DXRacer Formula Series OH/FD101 is not the most affordable gaming chair on the market, it is one of DXRacer’s most popular models. It has a high degree of adjustability and tons of comfort owing to the high density foam and soft PU leather cover.

It also has very good stability and a cool black and white contrast that won’t interfere with your setup. The chair is built to last and has a massive weight capacity to hold just about anyone.
