The Akracing nitro gaming chair promises comfortable seating in front of our screens and a design that knows how to stand out in our interiors!
Their philosophy is simple: to offer comfortable chairs with an attractive design.
The great thing about akracing is that they take care of the design, product development and quality control themselves.
No outsourcing, which means a better quality product for you!
Now I’ll give you all the information you need to decide whether or not it’s worth buying!
Sommaire
This akracing nitro gaming chair will solve your discomfort problems.
It’s ideal for gamers who spend many hours behind a computer, console or other device.
So it won’t necessarily suit you if you spend 10 minutes a day behind a screen.
Instead, you could opt for an entry-level model like the tresko chair.
What’s more, you’ll need to be between 1.60 and 1.95 m tall and weigh no more than 150 kg to feel comfortable sitting in this chair.
However, as it’s currently out of stock, I recommend you check out my top gaming chair!

This type of foam is designed for regular use.
It won’t warp as easily as low-density foam.
See Homer Simpson’s sofa?
I bet it’s low-density!
A density of 50-55kg/m3 is therefore suitable for regular, long-lasting use.
However, manufacturers usually don’t tell us the density…
Perhaps they have something to hide…
This term can be used from 28kg/m3.
Here akracing gives it to us!
55kg/m3 for the seat and 50kg/m3 for the back.
To give you an idea, this corresponds to the density of a top-of-the-range mattress.
With a density like this, you’ll be able to sit comfortably for several hours without your seat becoming deformed.
This is a great product for pro gamer masters and e-sports enthusiasts.
Thanks to its slightly raised seat and side bolsters, you’ll always be centered in your chair!
Personally, I tend to slouch in my chair after hours of gaming.
This system forces me to sit properly, which is great.
Finally, this chair features a tilt function.
Simply put, the backrest will support you if you move backwards.
Don’t underestimate this adjustment, as standard chairs that don’t allow this are suitable for short-term use.
Here, it’s much better for more regular use, as this mechanism takes much better care of your back.
Class 4 gas springs are the maximum-class gas springs.
There are no Class 5 gas springs!
This means that the national force is very good (so you won’t have the problem of chairs that have great difficulty raising/lowering the seat).
The akracing nitro gaming chair has a metal frame.
As I’m sure you already know, metal is one of the most resistant materials for a chair.
So it’s an added bonus in terms of strength and durability – you’ll have to work hard to break this chair!
Most of this chair’s leg is made of 5-point metal.
I really like this detail, because it makes the chair look less cheap than other chairs, which sometimes have plastic, nylon or other types of foot crosses.
What’s more, compared with plastic, it’s much more resistant.
So you’ll be able to keep this chair longer.
In short, this is a truly top-of-the-range chair.
They can be adjusted in two dimensions.
That is, in height as well as in depth (front to back).
Being able to adjust them in height is very important, as you’ll be able to set them correctly to the size of your desk!
The front-to-back adjustment allows you to adapt them to your current position.
Otherwise, they’re comfortable, although the top is a little too hard for my taste.
However, I have to admit that it’s too soft and I’d rather take a nap than play!
Each one is independently adjustable, so you can choose to raise or lower only one, which can be interesting for some people.
The gaming style is very much in evidence, thanks to its sports car bucket seat construction.
The chair’s aesthetic is clean, with sober curves.
The brand name appears on the top of the chair, as well as on the two matching cushions.
The brand pays particular attention to detail, and I appreciate that!
The akracing nitro gaming chair is available in a range of colors, including red, so it’s easy to adapt to your set-up.
The red color is a sure bet, but I also like the black one – well, there’s black on every model anyway.
This is a well-made polyurethane leather covering.
In simple terms, it’s a form of imitation leather, which can sometimes be leather crust covered with a layer of polyurethane.
It doesn’t flake and holds up very well over time.
That’s a good thing, because I’ve got a lot of seats that have peeled off, which not only makes them uncomfortable (it’s itchy when you rub against them), but also makes them very ugly.
For added comfort, the chair comes with a lumbar and neck cushion.
They are designed to relieve back (lumbar cushion) or neck (neck cushion) pain, while helping you maintain good posture.
Finishes and stitching are meticulous.
On some seats, the stitching runs the full length of the seat contour.
Here, there’s even a small piece of PU leather right next to it, making the whole thing more attractive and protected.
Good stitching and finishing are important if you don’t want to end up with a chair that’s losing threads and gradually falling apart.
Finally, the castors are plastic and lined.
They hold very well and don’t stick to the floor, while providing fluid movement.
Very useful for those who need to move around with their chair!
They do have one small drawback, however: dust tends to stick to the wheels, making them very hard to remove.
I recommend you do this regularly.
You can rotate the backrest up to 180°, and it can be locked in one position or another.
This is particularly nice if you feel like taking a little nap while downloading, watching a movie or simply relaxing while doing something else!
Gaming chair models with 180 degrees of tilt are super rare.
So you’ve got one of the best chair models out there when it comes to tilt – it doesn’t get more ergonomic than this!
A lever on the right-hand side of the seat adjusts and locks the back.
The lever is easy to reach and I think that’s important – no one would want to have to get out of their chair to adjust it!
As for raising and lowering the chair, the crank is located under the seat.
So it’s a bit harder to reach, but it’s still possible to do it while seated!
As for the armrests, there’s a button on the outside of each armrest, so you’ll have no trouble raising/lowering them as you please, even in the middle of a game.
Assembly is quick, taking an average of 20 minutes, and the instructions are well explained.
A little tip: don’t forget to remove the red cap when fitting the cylinder!
When I did a little checking on the Internet to summarize other reviews and give you a second point of view…
I found that the majority of users recommend this product for its comfort, cushions and easy assembly.
What’s more, some find the seat firm, which is very interesting for those who tend to have back pain on their usual chairs.
What’s also remarkable is that people who are rather tall (over 1m80) or stout feel comfortable in this chair.
I imagine this is thanks to the chair’s large dimensions and metal base!
I also note that some users find the plastic covers a little “cheap” and the cushions a little too firm.
However, the fact that they are firm may be a good thing for those who usually have back pain.
The main point is that, thanks to the PU imitation leather, the chair is easy to wash and, unlike some chairs, doesn’t make you sweat.
So it’s equally welcome in summer and winter.
However, anyone under 1.60 m tall is likely to float a little in the chair.
Finally, in terms of quality, after several years, users are happy with the upholstery, which holds up well.
This is good news: the chair is durable!
The Klim Esports has 4D vs. 2D armrests, high resilience foam, but a backrest that only swivels up to 160° vs. 180°, with the same maximum load.
It’s therefore interesting if you need more adjustable armrests, but don’t need the backrest orientation up to 180°.
Nevertheless, you’ll need to budget for it.
Read my review of the Klim Esports.
So, to start with, the S300 has 3D vs 2D armrests, cold foam, the backrest orientates even less, 135° vs 180° and the maximum load is 135kg vs 150kg.
It’s an option if you want slightly more adjustable armrests, against a lower backrest angle.
Read my review of the Nitro Concepts S300.
The advantages of the MX800 are a high resilience foam of 75kg/m3 vs. 50-55kg/m3.
4D vs 2D armrests.
Both accept up to 150kg, but the Oraxeat has a reclining backrest, but only to a maximum of 160° vs. 180°.
Excellent if you want more comfort and even more adjustable armrests!
Read my review of the Oraxeat MX800.
Gamers are the ones most prone to back problems, as they often sit awkwardly and spend many hours behind a screen.
Buying a good gaming chair is therefore a very good investment.
Thanks to its high density, adjustable backrest, top-quality imitation leather and adjustable armrests…
The ak nitro is a very good choice, as it solves all these problems!
Whether you have an adjustable desk or not, the armrests can be adjusted to the height of your desk, which is very important for an ergonomic posture.
