No worries, me too, I'm against gaming chairs due to really bad past experiences, but the reviews on these are really good so I am taking a chance on one.

These are not the crappy DX-Racer chairs :)

Has anyone had any issues upgrading to the Secretlab 5-year warranty?

It doesn't seem to like my order number.

Worked for me - I went through https://secretlab.co.nz/pages/redeem as I note the chair came with a card for the secretlab.co domain which doesn't work.

@michaelmurfy  thanks, I was using the .co page. All fine on the .co.nz one.  👍

I ended up getting a titan also. Jan 20th preorder.

the wait is on, hoping its all ok since I have not tested the chair..

Anybody tested these against a premium corporate office chair like the Formway life, or anything from Herman Miller?

Badly overdue for a new chair, and was quite fond of the Formway life at my last employer. Good availability in the used market at about $320 (no arms). Secret lab is not available used, so would be looking at $689 for the fabric one.

@Scott3 Yes, we use those at work and IMO I find the Secret Lab chair much better for working and comfort especially with me being a taller person.

My current home office chair is killing my sholders as its a "cheap" warehouse stationary one and the back is attached via the arms. so I cannot get the chair close enough to my desk also the back is very reclined. So I am stretching my arm out to my mouse and keyboard. 

I'm 6'5 and currently 140+kg. The Titan XL is looking like the best option after seeing Stu's reviews video on it.

Paying almost 1K for a chair without trying it though is a bit difficult. Though i did just spend $1400 on a new monitor this week.

Anyone here have the XL? How do you find it? 

Looking online everyone seems to be in one of 2 camps. Its a great chair or its the worst chair ever its like sitting a brick.

Have had the titan XL about a week and a half and liking it would say it is easily one of the sturdiest chairs I have owned.

Would agree that it does take a bit to break it in and get it adjusted just right but it doesn't take a massive amount of time for that to happen just not something that happens over night.

The only issue I am having with it is the massive ESD discharges from it which apparently is not that common but others have reported it and it is happening with mine. I will get massive zaps from the metal paddles on the arm rests but have also heard a zapping noise when the base of the chair has brushed up against some metal paneling on the wall.

Received mine today, Did have a estimated shipping date of the 20th Jan 21 so was pretty happy to have it turn up at before xmas and at the start of my 5 weeks leave.

I'm getting mine tomorrow (today), was really surprised that courier from Mainfreight called me asking when he could deliver and I said to him that it's to my work address which is closed tomorrow and he said he will deliver to my home address no problem which is 20km away.
