Products
DXRacer USA’s products include the PC gaming chairs, console gaming chairs, game simulator, office chairs, and accessories.
Gaming chairs
The gaming chairs are ergonomically-designed, with a race car seat theme.
There are four gaming chair options, the D, F, K, and R series. The chairs incorporate a full steel frame, German engineered hydraulics system, and a metal five-point base with gas spring. Other key features are: high backrest, a tilt mechanism for the back to be lowered up to 170 degree angle - in newer ones 135 degree -, the ability to lock in place at any point, adjustable armrests, and headrest and lumbar cushions.
The console gaming chairs feature most of the elements of PC gaming chairs, with the exception of the wheels and gas spring base.
Office chairs
DXRacer makes two types of office chairs: the M and U series. The chairs are designed to bring the DXRacer racing theme into the workplace.
