Genesis Nitro 890 G2 gaming chair, eco leather, 3D armrests, seat 47–53 cm, Black/Red

The backrest and seat of Nitro 890 G2 are covered in eco leather. It is a synthetic leather-look material from which dust and most marks wipe off with a damp cloth, which helps if you eat or drink at the desk. The black and red colour scheme fits a gaming corner and gives the chair the contrasting look typical of gaming chairs.

The seat height adjusts between 47 and 53 cm. At the right height your feet rest flat on the floor, the knees are at roughly a right angle and the hands sit comfortably at the keyboard. With a standard desk, check beforehand that the 47–53 cm range works with your leg length and the height of the desk.

The armrests are 3D, meaning they adjust in three directions, and their height ranges from 28 to 36 cm. Usually 3D covers height, forward and back travel and a swivel, so the forearm can be placed right at the keyboard or mouse. When the armrest is level with the edge of the desk, the shoulders can relax.

The chair has a metal base and nylon casters with a CareGlide coating. Coated casters are usually meant to be gentler on the floor and roll more smoothly than bare plastic ones. The backrest is adjustable, while the exact recline angle is not given by the manufacturer. The chair weighs 24.21 kg, so it stands steadily at the desk.

Genesis Nitro 890 G2 suits a gamer who wants a black and red gaming chair with an easy-to-clean eco leather cover and clearly stated adjustment ranges for the seat and armrests. The 47–53 cm seat height suits a standard desk, and the 28–36 cm 3D armrests help bring the forearm to keyboard level.
