Thunderx3 Flex Pro Ergonomic Review of the Office Chair

Published:

Thunderx3 Flex Pro is a strange chair, mainly because I’m not sure if he knows what he wants to be. A professional chair with several frills, preferably not when you sit vertically, focusing on the meeting or diligently on the keyboard, but when you are almost dangerously spilled, the gamepad in your hand, when you relax at the desk.

The flexibility that allows switching between these two approaches is one of the largest output points of Thunder X3 Flex Pro. By assessing 19 different “adjustment dimensions”, you can feel that you work to accommodate you regardless of the orientation in which you sit. On the other side of the seat, lumbar, back and head, a combination of mesh material and a dizzying number of moving parts means you have a lot of support.

Perhaps the most bizarre are two separate lumbar support panels. Moving independently of each other, they are the stars of the series, regardless of whether you are sitting or leaning. If it sounds a bit more “a massage chair” than a “office chair” for you, the good news is that all the different moving parts of this chair can be blocked on site, often with nothing more than a straightforward reimbursement of the lever. The range of all this regulation means that you may have to fight by some confused pushing and pulling at the beginning, but it should be a tiny -term problem.

In the case of all these moving parts, I was worried that Thunderx3 Flex Pro would be a nightmare of the building, but fortunately I was wrong. The whole compilation took me 30 minutes alone and although the most arduous part was getting a huge, hefty box up the stairs to my office, the actual combination of the whole thing was quite simple. I thought that I would be in the nightmare of intricate movable elements, but 12 screws and only six main elements joined the whole chair.

Unfortunately, not all of these components are great. The grid from the grid is quite arduous, which seems a bit out of place, and the exquisite gives that the rest of the chair clearly boasts. It is also quite compact and although you do not really notice it, leaning back, I do not deal with a lot of additional room, despite the room in the descriptions of size and weight.

And because they feel solid part of the rest of the compilation, I was a bit disappointed with straightforward plastic rollers, which I got on the wheels. Fortunately, my initial uncertainty about the regulation of 360 degrees armrests seems to be mostly unfounded, but even for the whole movement I have to access, I tried to get them exactly where I wanted.

This is a somewhat similar story with a headrest. It is huge and you can move it a bit, but I wanted to move forward to give me lend a hand when I sit and bend back. I am not sure if it is according to the design or with my problem, interpreting a somewhat hieroglyphic user manual.

Initially, I was skeptical about the value of all this regulation, especially when it did not always seem to work as intended. When I sat for the first time, it was simple to feel where the chair was moving with me, but only after I stopped sitting straight. Almost immediately it seemed that Thunderx3 Flex Pro would be great to lazily deviate with the gamepad, but would offer a much lower value at meetings or in keyboard games + mice. Considering, if I spend more time with the latter than this, it was a problem.

Fortunately, I think I was wrong on this front. The combination of a difficult seat and a little clever correction after giving birth around lumbar support meant that I felt nicely supported, even when I was sitting straight. Of course, it falls off if I bend forward, but the adjustable seat offers partial ways to solve this particular problem.

Buy if …

✅ You want infinitely adjustable comfort: Thunderx3 Flex Pro moves in almost every dimension that you can think about, mainly without you, even think about it

Don’t buy if …

❌ You want an office chair that supports an excellent attitude: Lumbar support is great, but I tried to make Flex Pro adapt around a really straight spine.

Nevertheless, it leaves me slightly torn to Thunderx3 Flex Pro. According to the price, I think it is perfect – you definitely gain greater support and flexibility than most competitors from the chairman of games at the same price (and often also at higher prices).

The problem is that some of the biggest points of this chair seem a bit as if they were aiming at the wrong place. Many of the best supporting and elastic functions fall off when you exploit it as an actual office chair. Sitting forward at the desk, you just don’t feel a few of these 19 adjustment points. Fortunately, I have to admit that when it comes to probably his most critical place – lumbar support – he performs great work regardless of how you sit.

As a game chair, I think it is much better. Connect to the back and you can feel that Thunderx3 Flex Pro moves with you, and the mesh means that it is breathable and has a decent dose.

Lumbar support is also amazing here, almost as if they hold you on their own. In the case of longer sessions in which you exploit gamepad and lean to drinking during a long open world session, this chair does a really good job. This may require some habit and a little tuning to make sure it works at peak performance, but if you can bypass this initial administrative stage, it is a solid hybrid chair at a price that leaves the biggest rivals of games far behind, without exposing to something more than a few compact details.
