What We Don't Like

  • May be too high for smaller gamers

What does it take to make the best chair for tall gamers? Is it all about the height of the backrest and headrest, or is it about the height adjustability? Maybe it’s all about the weight support or the armrests. It’s difficult to know exactly what to look for if you’re new to gaming chairs.

Figuring this out on your own can be a daunting task, which is why expert reviews exist. Most experts would agree that it’s a combination of all the previously mentioned features that separates a good gaming chair for tall people from the average gaming chair.

The DXRacer Racing Series has a few different models that cater to big gamers. The DOH/RV131 is a good example of how a chair should be constructed with proper support for tall gamers, adjustability, and looks that your friends will envy you for.

Who Is It For?

If you’re into gaming chairs with race car bucket seats, this just might be the one for you. It might also be a good choice if you like to have more control over the colors of your gaming chair.

If you’re looking for 4D armrests and want a full ergonomic design complete with cushion attachments, the DOH/RV131 is also a good choice.

If you’re around average height and weight but wouldn’t mind some extra support, this chair might be the one for you.

  • Headrest and lumbar cushion

Overview of Features

The DOH/RV131 is a race car-inspired gaming chair, which is one of the reasons why the model is in high demand in the gaming community. It looks super cool and has enough color variety to satisfy even picky gamers.

The chair has a solid steel frame that comes with a lifetime warranty. The frame sits on a solid aluminum base which gives it good support and stability for users who weigh up to 240 lbs. and are up to 6’2” tall. Just keep in mind that the seat is just 21” wide, which is why the recommended BMI is under 30.

The PU cover looks impressive, but what really gives the chair its ‘race car’ looks are the carbon vinyl features. The 4D armrests are fun to play with as they give you a wide range of adjustment possibilities and different angles to experiment with. They can be optimized for joystick rests, controllers, keyboard and mouse combos, and more.

The removable headrest and lumbar cushion are both included, which means you get everything you need for optimum back, neck and shoulder support. Given all the extra padding, you might be able to sit in the chair for 8 hours straight without experiencing any discomfort.

How to Get the Most Out of It

Using the DOH/RV131 is just like using any other DXRacer gaming chair. The tilt mechanism is operated by a simple lever, and nothing is complicated except maybe the 4D armrests at first. There are just too many combinations to experiment with if you’re new to gaming chairs. Consulting the manual should help a great deal.

An Alternative

Sometimes big is just not big enough. Although the DOH/RV131 is a durable gaming chair, it’s still not enough for some gamers. If you’re looking for an alternative that has an even higher weight capacity, a taller headrest, and maintains that sleek gaming chair look, DXRacer has got you covered as well.

The DXRacer Sentinel Series OH/SJ00/NO comes with a maximum weight limit of 325 lbs. and a height limit of 6.5’. The seat is 25” wide compared to the mere 21” of the Racing Series DOH/RV131 reviewed here.

On top of that, it also has a similar bucket seat design and dual color pattern that extends to the base. It’s also in the same price range so it might not hurt to take a closer look if you need the extra room.

Conclusion

The DOH/RV131 is perhaps the flagship of the RXRacer Racing Series. It has a wide range of color options and a very durable and stable construction. The padding and cover are both soft and breathable, allowing you to game for hours on end.

In addition, it has a decent weight capacity and height limit for a slim/average gaming chair build. The price is quite affordable for a premium gaming chair. However, if you need an even bigger setup, the DXRacer Sentinel Series OH/SJ00/NO is also a safe and affordable choice.
