Secretlab has turned the chore of meeting into one thing of an experiential artwork type with the Evo. Witness the massive, shiny sheet of directions, giant parts enveloped in high-density foam, and free elements packed in custom-designed baggage and bins.
Clever design touches abound, too. I significantly just like the magnetically-attached side-hinge covers and swappable 4D (i.e. 4 directional) armrests. I additionally tried out a pair of the non-obligatory Technogel armrests, designed to chill down your arms throughout marathon periods.
As soon as assembled you’re introduced with a trendy chair whose leatherette is wrapped round a skinny layer of cold-cured foam. Supportive side-bolsters are positioned on a generously extensive backrest, which sits atop an equally expansive seat base.
Unusually, head help comes within the form of a reminiscence foam pillow that attaches to the backrest through hidden magnets, moderately than straps. Decrease down, the Evo dispenses with the frequent lumbar cushion possibility altogether, as a substitute using a intelligent 4-way adjustable help system.
That is undeniably a agency seat, not as laborious because the Razer Enki Quartz however nonetheless a distinction with the deeply cushioned GT Omega Zephyr. Consequently, you sit ‘on’ the chair, moderately than ‘in’ it, however after a couple of days of acclimatisation I discovered myself preferring Secretlab’s strategy.
And regardless of the swathes of leatherette, I encountered no nice concern with sweatiness over prolonged durations. As for these non-obligatory, cooling Technogel armrests, my recommendation is to put money into them – they’re a real boon.
The best praise I will pay the Evo is that it will get out of the way in which and permits you to focus all of your consideration on gaming. It actually doesn’t get a lot better than that.
