The armrests are uncomfortable, difficult to adjust, and only capable of 2D motion.
Price and availability
The Sybr Si1 Gaming Chair costs 699 (around $890).
It’s currently only available in the UK, where it can be purchased directly via the Sybr website.
This particularly hefty price tag puts this chair near the highest end of the market.
The seat and backrest slide together with ease and are firmly secured by four large bolts.
The stitching is impressively high quality across the chair, with no visible imperfections at all.
The fabric itself is pleasantly soft and covers a thick layer of firm foam.
The rear of the backrest is coated by a seamless plastic shell that extends up to the static headrest.
Unfortunately, I found that the design of the armrests leaves a lot to be desired.
The chair utilizes a harmonic tilt motion that sees the backrest recline automatically under pressure.
The overall shape of the backrest is satisfactory, with a decent level of support and padding.
The chair is not exceptionally comfortable in this regard, but its certainly not bad.
Sadly, the armrests are fairly dire and do not offer anywhere near enough cushioning.
The headrest is a major issue too.
It is completely static and quite small, with only a thin layer of internal foam for padding.
Its static position will also likely be problematic if you are not the ideal height.
Sybr states that the grill keeps you cool when it counts but that claim did measure up to reality.
Should I buy the Sybr Si1 Gaming Chair?
It is simply impossible to recommend the Sybr Si1 Gaming Chair.
I could see this potentially being a worthwhile option if you’re seriously fond of the design.
You find it on sale:Youre getting some very premium feeling materials here.
This factor might help justify the purchase if you manage to find the chair at a steep enough discount.
Consider other options if you are particularly tall or short.
I was careful to test out all of its features and made frequent notes about its ergonomic performance.
As the chair came fully assembled, I also made an effort to disassemble the chair and experience reassembly.
