Unboxing Razer's FIRST Gaming Chair! - Iskur
Check out the DROP ENTR Mechanical Keyboard at dro.ps/shortcirc-entr-nov
Razer releases their first gaming chair, the Iskur. It's priced what you would expect. The big change is that they didn't merely slap their logo on anything and called it a day. They took some time to make something really unique and built tough.

@@f9gnqbpy447 no shit lmao
LOL TRUE
I just bought this chair. I think once you put all the components in the places that you want, it's really comfortable. I use it as my work and gaming chair, so the fact that I'm sitting up comfortably with lumbar and head support is huge. Really the only thing I wish, and it's not even a big deal, is that the wheel base was a little larger. I usually like to rest my feet on the base and find it's much smaller than my last chair. Super minor detail that will take some adjustment. That being said, it does make the chair a little easier to tip, but I'm not really bouncing or moving much in this chair to really fear tilting it over. Overall, the chair is super solid. I feel it supports me really well (5'11", 230 lbs.). It's hard for me to compare it to any other gaming chair since this is my first. It is a bit pricey, but I figured I'd invest immediately into a good one so that I'll never have to replace it, as opposed to some of the amazon chairs that I see. I will admit that I have a bias towards Razer products - I'm generally a fan. The chair is normally CAD$800.00, but I got it from Best Buy on their Boxing Day sale for $300.00 off, so it was way cheaper than normal.
1:20 ‘Perfectly Cut Screams pt. 24’
LMAO
r/justA
6:18 Future source material. We're gonna need a supercut at some point.
Colton's perfectly cut scream compilation let's go
Sitting on a Razer, typing on a Razer, clicking with a Razer, Razers on your ears. Damn man, you got a lot of cuts there
Don't forget the Razer chewing gum
Ow the edge
I like ya cut g
Now we need that Razer Toaster so we can toast and cut our bread at the same time. With RGB.
I love that he enjoys a good chair. I love that everyone (even Colton) in ltt is free to give their opinion bon something they enjoy and know.
I replaced the casters on my Aeron with the ones that look like roller blade wheels. They are amazingly smooth. I would recommend the upgrade for everyone, but they work very well at protecting a hardwood floor.
"If you're in a salty environment, this might be the chair for you." Gamers rejoice!

@@ok-us6hv why are you promoting someone else's video
@@kgkomrin its my freinds birthday so i thought i could help him out
Chase has such a great voice for presenting, just saying
Yup. Would love to see more camera time for Chase. Maybe have him go over accessories since he's the "gamer" of the office.
And good inputs aswell i wanna see him more on these more gaming related items.
He's also cheap, which would mean his purchase advice would probably be spot on.
@@elirantuil5003 but that would also mean he would suggest Cheap low quality Chinese stuff. Its a good but also a bad idea.
Having your friends in there to say their ideas about it , was super helpful. your friends mentioned that spin whatever wasn't the best thing.... Thanks

Razer chairs will come with two razer masks. Well, they should
@Ladioz F
30 razer masks are 30€... 30 masks on amazon are 7€ to 18€
@Ladioz dude did you ever see it? there is nothing special about it
@@realism9999 yeah there is, it is a Razor mask. 🙂
@@realism9999 its a Razer mask, every normie who thinks razer is for gaming and knows its expensive af will think you're rich, thats like the purpose of razer, makes you look rich for no reason at all
"Flip this sheet to see the assembly guide" Colton: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that
Man, Chase just pass the vibe of chillest dude ever. I bet he is calling everybody in the office "Yeah dude" every ten seconds (including Linus).
"Designed in California" the Apple way to say "made in China". Nice touch Razer.
@despacito dave viper and lightstrike libra switches tho
Haha true but I love Razer stuff 😂
@despacito dave no not even close to being as bad as apple xD
@despacito dave Apple is a lot worse than Razer actually makes good products unlike Apple
Wow, I never made that connection to how apple changes the perception entirely. Amazing
Now I just want Chase to do chair reviews because he's just brutally honest. We need more of that in LTT.
Colton has still got the fun presenter vibe man, he needs to do more
I have the Vertagear PL6000 with one of those lumbar pillows and I ended up using it to support my neck😂. I also removed the neck pillow altogether. I found that my back is perfectly flush with the backrest without any additional cushioning. It was a night and day upgrade over the garden chair I had before
5:49 "body pillows" does that include a Colton body pillow?
I'm lowkey so proud of Linus seeing all these new people on the show, and know that he started by himself just reviewing pcs in a garage. Good for you man, it makes me happy to see such an awesome show from a dude who just liked tech 🤷♂️
More Colten videos! Y'all do a great job. Keep it up :)
Really enjoyed this video. Colton's a really good host. Gets me to chuckle with all his yelps lol
"Its a fraction of the price" Continues to insult my wallet...
0:16 The blink-and-you'll-miss-it blur on Colton's face after he takes the mask of was priceless
Didn't even notice the first time lol
I'm glad they are working on a lumbar support system. If you look at the side profile of that hermin miller chair you can see that it swoops up and back for the lower back portion, and then curves back into vertical by the time it reaches your head. This is by far the most comfortable shape chair for me and the only other place that I've seen this seat shape is in the 1998.5 Audi A6 that I have. I wish they could just make a chair that shape that didn't cost 1500 dollars. It doesn't need to be super premium just to be the correct shape for proper support.
Got mine just last night, shipped early. I got the black-accented one for half-off due to a work accommodation. I'm a bit on the heavier side, so I've got a much wider frame than is compatible with this chair, but even despite that compared to the last chair I was using it's far more comfortable with better cushioning. The lumbar system makes the whole thing so much better. I wouldn't recommend it for $500 but I'm liking it so far.
i hate mine, cushion is uncomfortable & its just a awkward shape. if you have thick thighs its horrible
So according to Razer, while using the Iskur you shouldn't: -Sit on the edge of your seat during a tense gaming moment -Dodge bullets like Neo in The Matrix -Have sex -Forge swords and build nuclear bombs -Use the chair as a surfboard -Get this is Sparta'd by someone else
These seat reviews are convincing me more and more that I just need to pick a cheap used luxury car seat and hook it up to a 12 volt battery in my room.
I've seen a small business on the internet that does this and the chairs have the heating and cooling and massage functions working
You can find a cheap seat from a bmw or porche from the 90s-00s on ebay or something
Or go to a office that is selling their office chairs. Best and cheapest way to get a legit chair. Vehicle chairs are not made for someone to sit like they do at a desk.
I love how real the second guy was
I did not expect the censor on Colton's face when he took off the mask, instant like as soon as i stopped laughing.
1:03 it is written on the sheet flip the sheet for assembly guide just next to his sign, why did he say we will find it after this.
Secretlab is screaming inside
take a look at those armrest there the same ones
@@choman94 both companies have said independently that there was no collaboration between them.
@@IcyCubey Perhaps no collaboration but all “gamer chairs” are made in the same factory..
@@IcyCubey if thats true than the armrests are definitely a rip off i also have the Secret Lab Titan and they are exactly the same.
@@IcyCubey really? Wow that’s surprising honestly since how shockingly similar their assembly process and the new packaging was. Even all the way down to the toolkit. Thanks for correcting me.
I laughed so hard at the face mask removal to face blur. LTT has the best editors
The assembly instructions were on the back of the first large pamphlet he had actually touched... What a guy, and the last guy should Definitely host these videos because he displayed more of a understanding of the chair in such a small portion of time in comparison to the 'current' host and with a more expansive understanding vocabulary describing the ACTUAL use of the chair itself.
Dude, I would love to see Chase presenting gaming related items and give out the best bang for the buck since he's cheap, like a lot of us. Also a gaming channel from LMG would be totally AWESOME.
no gaming only tech
@@thebluegremlin No
Chase seems like a fairly relatable guy. Would watch.
DO NOT EVER CHEAP OUT ON A CHAIR. You idiots scream about not cheaping out on a PSU, the same need-case is for the chair. If you care about your back health and saving tens of thousands on back-related injuries, buy a nice chair. FFS.
@@evolicious I work at my computer and game so I'm in my chair anywhere from 8-12 hours a day. Best thing I ever did was buy a chair with good back support.
"if you're in a salty environment this chair is for you" literally every online game is a salty environment lol
This is the killer comment!
"STOP no you dont sit like that LOLOLOL" Me- yes i do actually..........
I think the chair's "person catcher" things around it's edges are more to enforce a good posture than to prevent people from falling out of the chair. I also wonder how much of the people's complaints can be ultimately chalked up to "it's different than what I'm used to right this minute, and I don't want to spend the time to try adjusting to it to test it out.
That's true, I recently got a new chair and it's taken me almost 2 weeks to really fine tune the adjustments and get comfortable in it.
Yeah got this chair months ago and at first it was a bit uncomfortable around my thighs, but months on my body has adapted to it and find the chair perfectly comfortable. My posture has definitely improved, especially after long gaming sessions where I would slowly end up slouched on other chairs. The lumber support has been good for my body height and size once I got it dialled in. So far the material has held its own too. Even after hours upon hours of use it's still in as new condition.
He's not good, he just has a really good gaming chair
Rgb increases accuracy too
@@FranklyWatchingKZhead yes
RGB is actually RNG the more you have the better the game performance
@@gloez or its just a reference used all around the gaming community to call someone a hacker in a funny way, it is not limited to minecraft, nor did the meme begin from minecraft
Gaming chairs suck office chairs are way better
I mean, the salt fog test is super important, considering it's a gaming chair, and there will be a lot of Salt exposure...
Salt Fog testing. Corrosion protection against all the evaporated tears generated when you lose a game.
Errrrrh
@@FW_Tennis_Channel i think he means different salt liquids, for when you take a break ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
that was the most honest review i have ever seen 👍
hahaha the blur when Colton took off his mask got me dying
Those armrest look like they were stolen off a Secretlab chair. They even have the little badge near the bottom.
Those were not stolen from secretlab but bot design were made in the same factory in china.
Probably same oem
yesss, it's Colton again! rofl, I saw Colton and I thought of the gaming couch sofa thing, and then the clip was played ^^
More chair content please. The main part of a gaming set up is the chair you sit in for hours.
2020 THEME: “out of stock” lol 😂
6 minutes in and I already know this is an uncomfortable chair. Tip: If the seat of the chair does not almost reach the back of your knees then you will not want to sit on it for long. He’s 5’6” and it still doesn’t! Shame.
Usually short people have have the opposite problem with the seat being too long. When he first sits in it at 4:41 without the lumbar it goes all the way to his knees. The lumbar design, though, really looks like it will make it uncomfortable for anyone that uses it. Like it's trying to push you out of the chair. It also just looks massive. That backrest is much thicker than most chairs
It's a baby chair.
@@LachlanD1213 I have a secret lab And so does my wife She has a bad tailbone without it she couldn't game long at all
@@tylerandleahcanadian3888 Cool. It's probably better than whatever previous chair she sat in. That still doesn't make it a good chair.
Do u think this chair is good for Back issues?
When they pixelated his face I died of laughter 😂
I will NEVER understand so much hate for these types of chairs! I am not sure I would ever choose another type of chair. I have a Secretlab chair and love it.
"completely designed from the ground up, they didn't just slap their logo on there" *Cries in secretlab*
I really regret buying my shitty secretlab chair. My back and my ass hates me for it.
@@Bill_Dipperly?
Sell it
Me watching this video this while sitting like a shrimp cosplaying a pretzel : "Hmmm interesting"
It looks similar to the Secret Lab's chairs... The armrests are literally the same.
That's because they all are coming out of the same factory!
Same as GT Omega chairs too.
"Built from the ground up" though... Lmao
@@anotsoroyal this! It's hard to justify the $500 tag especially the slogan on the leg rests it's a complete turnoff
@@anotsoroyal I've bough 2 "Gaming" chair in my life. A 300$ one from Canada Computers and one a Titan from secret lab, and I can tell you for a fact, these were FAR to be the same. Secret's lab is by far more comformtable
Love that part where they blurred his face after taking off the mask 😂
Razer’s first gaming chair looks suspiciously like every other gaming chair makers 656 millionth.
Unless this was a sponsorship I don't see the point in reviewing gaming chairs. Everyone knows that it's a terrible idea. Basically all of them are crap for your posture and it's an overrpriced mess
@@pedrosilvamusician I found a simple gaming chair for $169 and considering the disaster my previous chair was, it was well worth the cost
I'd usually agree with that statement, but this chair looks completely different from the 99% of the other chairs that look exactly the same. Except for the fundamentals that all chairs share that is. That doesn't mean it's good, but it definitely looks different.
The Titan XL from secretlabs which is the same price seems to have a way better lumbar support system. The chair itself is also way bigger for the price. I think you should do a review of the softweave version. The fabric is really amazing, soft and confortable. Not sticky and hot like most gaming chairs with fake leather. The design is low key too which I really like. The headrest and the armrest are the same as the razer too.
I like that some of the LMG staff have their own niches on ShortCircuit. Like how Brandon is the camera guy, David likes mice, if it's a laptop it tends to have Alex, and Anthony does weird retro gaming stuff (there are exception obviously). But how did Colton become the Chair Guy?
Your assembly instructions were on that green piece of reading material on the top when you open the box.
Question does it arrive with the box having razor all over it or does it arrive with a overlay box
"if you're in a salty environment" Perfect for playing League of Legends then.
At this rate, razer will probably start making TVs, homes, cars and eventually their own country very soon
lol
hi
Hopefully a better mouse bungee too
Chase seems like a cool guy. Y'all should get him in more videos 👍
looks nice! thinking of picking this up for my office!
Definitely enjoyed seeing a new/uncommon face on the channel
"They build this from the ground up." Looks at arm rests... monkaHmm
just like their Opto-Mechanical
@@ItsReaxxion A man of culture i see. Yeah just rebrands of Bloody's Libras.
my maxnomic has an adjustable lumbar knob, is that uncommon or something?
I like that you guys have other users try it on the video.
You know its over when razer makes a gaming chair and linus drops it or watercools it
@Anuhlog ik it was linus but like linus moght handle it later idk my bad i shouldve said colton but colton doesnt drop shit
This chair, and box contents etc, looks exactly like the new chair I just got (secret lab) and my brothers (noblechair), they're all made in the same factory LMAO
It's a scam that's been happening for years. These companies throw millions of dollars into disinformation marketing campaigns to cover it up.
“If you’re in a salty environment that’ll do for you, it standa up” i see what you’ve done here😉
I'm glad that Colton is the official LMG sitting expert. We really need more videos with him.
OMG finally someone said it! Thank you Edzel! Those stupid "wings" on the side are horrible.
Yeah they build gaming chairs like the seats of a hardcore sports car. Those things arnt comfortable. they are to stop you moving around which is not what you want on a chair that you sit in for long periods of time. Gaming/racing chairs are such a meme
so, colton is the chair man of linus media group huh
DIED when he took the mask off and blurred out the face - that was funny LOL!
That blur after he took of the mask, very nice touch
Still, a shame you didn't test the Herman Miller chair for a few weeks and see how you'd like it for actual work. Personally, I moved into a workplace with Herman Miller Aeron chairs, and I have never felt better at the end of a workday in front of a screen. And I'd like to know how the Embody is.
I think because its hard to properly review since there is no actual numbers like temperature, fps, etc
@@dedoyxp It's an opinion, a lot of things are.
They probably have it saved for the main channel?
@Right Round Well I can only strongly disagree. Many chairs are comfortable on first sit, but leaves you with pains in your back or tail bone after sitting for hours. But you can believe whatever you want, doesn't change that I'd like such a review.
@Right Round Yeah this isn't true at all. As Zocress said, sitting in a chair for a short bit, 30 minutes, an hour, two hours, is all well and good. Sitting in a chair for 8 plus hours of your day is another thing entirely and comfort and back support can go a loooong way. There is a much bigger difference than you make out especially considering that a lot of high end chairs (though not all of them) have a ton of customisability built in so that regardless of your size, you can change seat depth, seat tilt, back tilt, lumbar support height and amount of support, arm rest width apart, distance forward or back, angled or not etc. as well as seat height as per usual and chairs like the Embody or Leap bend with your back when you tilt to properly support you no matter how you're sitting (within reason of course) therefore making it much better suited for a wider variety of people and therefore more likely to BE comfortable for a specific person than a chair with far less customisation built in.
Always cut away from yourself... Then cuts towards himself...
3:58 "shes up" *immediately slaps it*
Give Chase more spotlight, damn he got a voice for this
Does Colton realise that the giant t-shirt just makes him look smaller?
The shirt size is small.
maybe he doesnt care?
It's exactly the same as the Secret Lab's Omega, but with the weird lumbar thing.
more like the titan with the lumbar support inside
@@lyalas The titan doesn't have that kind of bucket seat design and the adjustable lumbar support is probably quite different.
Does the back rest have the tiniest bit of give when you sit back into it, or lean forward? not sure if its supposed to do it, or mine is broken? would love someone else to check theirs! Thanks
I weigh in the early 200s and I'm 5'4. Is there a certain size option I should get??? Also, I lean back in my current recliner that has rips in it and almost falls apart when I move it to a new spot 😀
I spend alot of money on my chair because it makes the most difference to my fps
@@roshankattil8584 really? Where
I actually got this chair for $299 recently from auction new in box. Its actually really comfortable, It is the XL. I have a hmiller embody but have been giving this chair a real go. I recommend headrest off there site. Also I added roller blade wheels to them.
how you do you feel about the Iskur now? Especially in comparison to the embody?
@@alexvswrld I still like it. It has actually gotten better the more I have sat in it.
Hey. If you still have the chair could you do me a favor and let me know the seat height on the lowest setting? From the top of the seat cushion to the ground or whatever works. Thanks
Chase has a very pleasant voice. Soft. Soft like a warm summer rain. Soft and comfortable like a chair that is not a gaming chair, but a chair made by people who make chairs.
Great to see it have that good lumbar support. If the back support was adjustable, I could see myself buying this chair. But having a sort of... 50/50 chance of the lumbar support being in the wrong height when getting it, it just feels like an expensive hassle.
8:39 ahm ahm that's how everyone sits
I sit like that most of the time ;)
@@TondaViewPL and that is why we have so many people suffering from Scoliosis, Kyphosis and Lordosis and bad posture.

"salt fog" more like gamer sweat
“Razed designed this from the ground up, they didn’t just slap their logo on something...” Secret labs: “Am I a joke to you???!”
I mean, it's not like secretlab design their chair from the ground up either...
@@HorWangZaaa actually, I believe they do
@@ItsNotFate That kind of chair has been made for more than a decade.
Just got this as my old chair was comfy but it gave me back pains. I saw this had lumbar support and its really comfy but also supports my back when leaning forward playing games or typing on pc. Its very comfy and kind of swallows you inside it like a lazyboi. It has side hip supports so you won't fall off the sides and the lumbar portion will push forward when you are sitting up playing games. 10/10 just hope it lasts like 8 years cause its 500$
Yo man great video. In the future please just try to open the boxes a little faster. Keep up the good work !
