Secretlab, the makers of some of our favourite gaming chairs, has released its PlushCell memory foam armrests<\/a>. They’re compatible with all of Secretlab\u2019s Titan Evo 2022 chairs.<\/p>\n

The Titan Evo 2022 is one of the best gaming chairs we\u2019ve ever had the pleasure of parking our butts in. I reviewed the larger XL version over at our sister site, TechRadar<\/a> and my opinions match up with Jacob\u2019s review here at PC Gamer<\/a>. As a part of my review, Secretlab sent over a pair of the PlushCell armrests.<\/p>\n

These armrests are made of a durable and high-density memory foam that\u2019s designed to provide a softer and more luxurious feel compared to the standard Titan armrests. It\u2019s the same kind of material that\u2019s used in Secretlab\u2019s head pillows. The outer finish is made of a durable velour that\u2019s designed to be breathable and of course, soft to the touch.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re available directly from the Secretlab regional online stores, and are currently listed at $79 (\u00a365\/AU$99). They\u2019re easily swappable thanks to magnetic attachments and are available in a choice of black, silver or pink colours.<\/p>\n

Best chair for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: the top gaming chairs around
\nBest gaming desk<\/strong><\/a>: the ultimate PC podiums
\nBest PC controller<\/strong><\/a>: sit back, relax, and get your game on<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

They are a definite improvement over the standard Titan Evo 2022 armrests though it depends on what you\u2019re after. If you tend to park your elbows on them, you won\u2019t notice a lot of difference but if you use them like I do, with my forearms resting in more of a horizontal position, then the velour finish and softness add an additional touch of comfort and quality to an already superb gaming chair.<\/p>\n

At $79 (\u00a365\/AU$99) they aren\u2019t cheap but if your desk or seating position is such that you find yourself leaning on the armrests for extended periods, then the Secretlab PlushCell armrests may not just be a simple luxury accessory, but a genuinely ergonomic one too.<\/p>\n

Ideally I’d be happier if the PlushCell armrests were included as standard with the Titan Evo 2022, but then customization is a strength of Secretlab’s chairs. A good chair is a true long term investment, especially when it comes with your choice of finish and accessories.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
