How do you know if you want a flat seat or a race car seat on your gaming chair? – Truth be told, this is a matter of personal preference as it has little to do with the ergonomic design or the backrest. It’s all about what makes you more comfortable.

Race car seats tend to make you feel cozier which some gamers prefer if they’re to sit on it for hours at a time. Of course, the padding, cover, and armrests also contribute to the comfort of a race car seat gaming chair.

We’ve reviewed the DXRacer Racing Series OH/RV001 gaming chair and here’s everything you should know about it.

DXRacer makes tons of products for gamers but they’re most known for their gaming chairs. This chair is part of the DXRacer Racing Series and it’s one of the coolest-looking for a home or studio streamer setup.

This DXRacer is one of the best gaming chairs you can get if you’re looking to alleviate back pains. It’s also a solid choice if you often find yourself overheating during long gaming sessions.

You may also appreciate its design if you’re looking for something with good arm support.

The package includes the following accessories:

• Steel framework
• Aluminum base
• PU wheels
• Soft padding
• PU vinyl cover
• Race car seat
• 2x soft armrests
• Tall headrest
• Lumbar support pillows
• Assembly tools
• Instruction manual

The main draw of the DXRacer OH/RV001 gaming chair is obviously the ergonomic design. It offers full spine support and the extra padding on the headrest allows you to relax in the chair whenever you feel like taking a break from your game.

The extra height on the backrest makes the chair really efficient for tall users. It also makes a good selling point for parents looking to buy their kids a gaming chair they can grow into. The chair should have a very good fit even for users up to 6’0” tall.

The armrests offer decent support but also a lot of comfort because they’re softer than what most manufacturers make these days. The downside is that the armrests are only adjustable in height so they’ll only be 100% efficient for people that sit up straight.

Although the chair has a solid steel frame and an aluminum base in the classic five-star shape, the DXRacer OH/RV001 gaming chair only has an average weight limit. The chair supports users up to 265lbs which is almost 100lbs less than what other gaming chairs in this price range have to offer.

What’s surprising is that this gaming chair allows a maximum of 170 degrees of angle adjustment on the backrest. It’s almost there with the AKRacing gaming chairs in terms of adjustability, though probably not when it comes to stability at ultra-wide angles.

The PU vinyl cover is breathable, which makes the chair a solid option for gaming comfortably during the winter and the summer. The tilt mechanism is a classic rock and lock mechanism which should be easy enough for just about anyone to use.

Due to having minimal adjustability, the DXRacer OH/RV001 is quite easy to use. Simply put the pillow on it, adjust the height, and then recline to your desired angle and use the rock and lock mechanism to set it in place.

DXRacer gaming chairs are wildly popular for both home setups and on the E-sports stage. This chair has a very cool design and excellent spine support, but it is missing some features that some gamers might find important.

The weight limit is relatively low, and the lack of adjustment on the armrests doesn’t allow you to play with any controller or any keyboard setup comfortably.

If you’re looking for a gaming chair with more adjustment features and higher weight limit, and doing all that without stepping outside this price range, you might want to consider the AKRacing Core Series EX gaming chair.

This chair doesn’t have a tall backrest but it does allow a full 180-degree recline. It has 4D adjustable armrests as well as extra padding and a breathable cover. If you’re a tall individual this may not be the best option, but if you’re looking to sacrifice head support for adjustability, it’s a solid choice.

The DXRacer Racing Series OH/RV001 gaming chair looks amazing and feels great. The green and black color combination looks really nice and work well with NVidia and Razer gear.

The spine support is very good and the lumbar support pillows are truly high quality. Whether or not you need the extra tall backrest of this chair is up to you, but as far as value for the money, you’ll be getting your money’s worth.
