  • Most features

    Razer Iskur V2 X: plush fabric, lumbar arch

    The lumbar arch is built into the backrest, so there is no cushion to slip out of place.

    Check price on AmazonAffiliate link

Razer sells two chair families on amazon.co.uk, and the split is easy to miss in the photos. The Iskur line is built around lumbar support: an arch in the backrest and a seat with reduced edges that guides you towards the centre. The Enki line is built for room: a wide 54 cm seat base and 110 degree shoulder arches so you can shift around or sit cross-legged. Within each family there is a cheaper and a better equipped version, and the differences are in the cover, the armrests and the tilt mechanism. This guide compares four Razer chairs on lumbar design, seat size, cover material, armrests, recline and stated load, using only the listings. The Iskur V2 with an adjustable lumbar was not in the collection we compared.

The products in detail

No. 1 · Razer

Razer Enki: 4D arms, reactive tilt, 54 cm seat

A wide-seat Razer chair with 110° shoulder arches, a built-in lumbar arch, reactive seat tilt, 4D arms and a 152° recline. The best balance here between gaming comfort and desk adjustment.

In its favour

  • The 54 cm seat base and 110° shoulder arches are designed to spread weight without pinching at the sides.
  • 4D armrests adjust in height and angle and slide forward and back.
  • A reactive seat tilt responds to your weight, and a memory foam head cushion is included.

Good to know

  • The 300 lb (136 kg) rating is lower than the heavy-duty chairs in our big and tall guides.
  • The lumbar arch is fixed, so its height cannot be changed.

No. 2 · Razer

Razer Iskur V2 X NewGen: EPU leather, cold-cured foam

A Razer chair in Gen-2 EPU leather with CoolTouch, a built-in lumbar arch, a one-piece cold-cured foam seat and wide shoulder arches. It suits gamers who want a leather-look cover that stays cooler.

In its favour

  • The seat cushion is a single piece of high-density cold-cured foam, designed not to sag or shift.

No. 3 · Razer

Razer Iskur V2 X: plush fabric, lumbar arch

A Razer gaming chair with a plush multi-layer fabric cover, a built-in lumbar arch, a widened seat with reduced side edges and a 152° recline. It suits people who dislike tight bucket-seat bolsters.

In its favour

  • The lumbar arch is built into the backrest, so there is no cushion to slip out of place.
  • The seat base is wider with reduced edges, giving more freedom to shift position than a racing bucket.
  • Recline goes up to 152°, the deepest stated among the fabric chairs here.

Good to know

  • The armrests are 2D only (height and rotation), with no forward or sideways slide.
  • The 299 lb (136 kg) load rating is lower than the Corsair T3 Rush.

No. 4 · Razer

Razer Enki X: 54 cm seat, dual-textured cover

The pared-back Enki with the same 54 cm seat, 110° shoulder arches, lumbar arch and 152° recline, in dual-textured synthetic leather. It suits gamers who want the Enki fit with fewer extras.

In its favour

  • It shares the Enki's 54 cm seat base and 110° shoulder arches.
  • The cushions are softer in the seat and firmer in the back, according to Razer.
  • The core areas use a textured fabric with smooth leather on the outer edges where wear is highest.

Good to know

  • The listing does not describe how the armrests adjust.
  • There is no reactive seat tilt or head cushion mentioned, unlike the full Enki.
