Leather-look gaming chairs are easy to clean but often get warm and crack over time. The Iskur V2 X NewGen tackles both with Razer's second-generation EPU leather and CoolTouch technology. Razer says it has high thermal effusivity, meaning it draws heat away from the skin, and is 13 times more durable than standard PU. It suits gamers who want a wipe-clean surface without the clammy feel.

In its favour
- Razer states its CoolTouch EPU leather has high thermal effusivity and is 13 times more durable than standard PU.
- The seat cushion is a single piece of high-density cold-cured foam, designed not to sag or shift.
- Wide shoulder arches and seat base leave room to sit cross-legged or change position.
Good to know
- The armrests are 2D only, adjusting in height and rotation.
- The listing describes the seat as ultra-wide but gives no width in centimetres.
Our take
Cover and cushion
CoolTouch is the main reason to pick this version. The seat cushion is a single solid piece of high-density cold-cured foam, which Razer designs to resist sagging and shifting while spreading weight evenly. That one-piece construction should keep the seat flatter and more consistent than layered foam over a long ownership.
Like other leather-look finishes, it should only need a damp cloth to clean, which is handy for anyone who eats or drinks at the desk during long play sessions.
Shape and lumbar support
Wide shoulder arches and a broad seat base give an open layout, with room to sit cross-legged or shift around during long sessions. The listing calls the base ultra-wide but does not give a measurement in centimetres. The integrated lumbar arch supports the lower back and encourages a neutral position. It is fixed, so it suits most but not all torso lengths.
Adjustment and capacity
The backrest reclines to 152 degrees. The armrests are 2D: height adjustment and inward or outward rotation, but no forward slide. The steel frame is rated for 299 lb, roughly 136 kg, and the chair weighs about 20 kg. Basic assembly is required, with instructions in the box. This colourway pairs black with green accents.
The overall height of about 126 cm is modest for a gaming chair, so very tall players should check where the top of the backrest falls against their shoulders and neck.
Iskur NewGen against the Enki and T3 Rush
The Razer Enki gives a stated 54 cm seat and 4D arms, with dual-textured synthetic leather and a reactive tilt, which makes it better for mixed work and play. The Corsair T3 Rush offers 4D arms and a higher rating in fabric. The NewGen wins if you specifically want a cool, durable leather-look surface and a one-piece seat cushion.
Verdict
Choose the Iskur V2 X NewGen if you want an easy-clean cover that stays cooler and wears better than standard PU. For 4D arms and a measured wide seat, the Razer Enki is the stronger all-rounder, and for a breathable fabric option with higher load capacity, the Corsair T3 Rush fits better.
