This is the Razer Enki, a premium gaming chair with a great finish and style. This is a gaming chair that's designed for all-day comfort, but aren't they all? I swapped my Heman Miller Embody chair (which I hate) for the Razer Enki and I'm now suffering from far less pain.
The Razer Enki features all the usual things you'd expect from a high-quality gaming chair:
- 4D arm rests that are multi-direction adjustable
- A tiltable base and back
- Large caster wheels for a smooth action
- High density PU foam
- A plush memory foam head cushion
- A mix of synesthetic leathers
- Plenty of posture support
The Razer Enki appears to have a wider than average base (21-inches), giving you more room and yet it gives great support. It has a built-in lumbar arch, but that lumbar support is sadly not adjustable or customisable. Which might make it less comfortable for some users.

The middle of the Enki has a textured fabric to help with breathability and comfort when it's hot. The outer material is designed to be durable and long lasting though.
I have noticed that the Razer Enki is quite a bit stiffer than other chairs I've tried. This might change with time, but it has some fairly solid support in the base and back. So don't expect to sink into the cushioning and fully relax.
That said, I like it!

Bought one and am waiting for delivery. When I tried Enki and Iskur in the shop, the Iskur was much harder/stiffer/coarser to sit in overall, meaning the bottom was much firmer. I like the softer bottom cushion more on the Enki. And it has a slopier edge that does not press your venes/thighs so much as Iskur does.

Hey congrats! I'm glad you found something for your back! I'm kind of a guy who is in constant pain my self!
If you are still questing after the perfect gaming/office chair, I've heard good things about the Haworth Fern chair.
have the same chair for 8 months, totally worth it
That's a really cool looking table
Which one? One is my main video desk, the other is where I work which is a motorised sit stand desk. kzhead.info/sun/ZKapnqZxgKWbjJE/bejne.html
Im considering Enki. How do you like it compared to something like Titan Evo / Evo 2022 or noblechairs hero with adjustable lumbar support?
Wouldn't the Razer Iskur be a better choice for you since it includes adjustable Lumbar Support. Other than that it is mostly like the Razer Enki.
It's too bad you don't like the Embody, I've had mine for a couple of months now and, while it's not perfect, I do like it a lot, which I guess is good because it's not cheap.
it seems stiffer than i thought, but last gaming chair was like 10 years old, maybe it's not too surprising. there seem to be quite a bit of friction on the seat, it's nice to not slip forward when sitting but feels like it might be a bit hard to slide a bit more left or right when sitting. i'd like the arm rest to go a bit more further back, the adjustment levers seem a bit too far forward as well, maybe one could adjust it a bit by unscrewing them and adjusting them a little. maybe i could just get some longer arms... head pillow felt pretty nice. might be fine though, it just needs to last for some years.
In my country the steelseries nova 7x is 200$ with a 2 year warranty that if anything broke or something wrong with it they will replace it with another new headset, and i loved what you said about it so should i get them ? Btw I'm playing on my phone ( i will connect it with type-c for lower latency )
Wait.... you hate embody and swapped it for Enki ?! I have secretlab evo 2022 and looking to upgrade. Was looking at embody, aeron, enki and new enki pro. You got any update on this please?
Idk if youll see this but. My enki's backrest seems to float a little? I can see a gap between the base and backrest a little, very slight but some light passes through as reference. Is this normal or did i install it poorly?
Hi, can anyone please tell me what is the distance between the back seat pan and the middle of the lumbar support? I can.t find anywhere.
Had one of these for a few years and it’s been a great investment. I used it for about 10 hours a day for a year and still perfectly comfortable and solid. Been a great buy.
I feel lost. So much research says the Iskur is great for people with lower back problems, but then razer themselves says the same thing about the Enki. I have a torn muscle right down the middle of my lower back right before your butt from playing sports. And usually on my chair right now I lean toward more then naturally sit back so after a few hours my lower back hurts really bad. The Enki just looks more comfortable and the product description and reviews says so too. But again no one mentions lower back problems unless it’s them talking about the Iskur. So would you suggest the Enki?
I have this chair about 2 years ago, I suffer from back pain and it is excellent. But the left side of the chair creaks, sometimes it bores me.
NO issues with pain since you got it?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes, no problem, I had tried other gamer chairs and I didn't like them, until I got to ENKI, everything was fine.
@@yoyigu excellent
Nice cave 👌
I got the Iskur chair. Very good for back support but isn’t the comfiest
Do you suffer with pain from it?
@@TheProvokedPrawn No. I’ve had back pain from other chairs but the Iskur has done wonders for my back. Would definitely recommend. Saved me a lot of money as well because i was looking at the Miller chairs.
Those are some odd looking pants! Excellent video, though!
Hey, could you please elaborate why you hated the Embody ? I always thought it was the pinnacle of gaming chairs. If I had the money for it I would probably get it over the Razer.

To be fair, I would consider his reaction to the Embody to be atypical. I purchased an Embody a couple months ago and I did a ton of research before throwing down that much money on a chair. From what I can tell most people like the Embody, and many people rank it in the absolute top tier of office chairs available. My personal experience with the Embody is that it's not perfect, but it is very good and I'll be using it for years to come.
@@bonanzabrandon6877 chairs are a very subjective experience for sure
nice video. btw, what monitor are you using at 4:14 ?
Corsair Xeneon Flex. Video coming soon! :)
Try out Asus Destrier
Comfort first. I wish I had a nice chair at work. At 32°c swamp but is guaranteed
Had one of these but sent it back to Amazon. Creakiest chair i've ever had.
Really? I've not noticed any creaks :(
i saw something in a forum about needing to tighten/loosen a certain screw to stop the creaking. Not certain if this is true but worth checking out if others experienced the same problem.
I’ll take that Herman Miller off your hands if you don’t want it 😂 much better than a stool!
I'm afraid my son has it now :)
First!
Appreciate you Spiderman
