One of the first things you’ll probably notice about the design of the Secret Lab chair series is that Secret Lab likes to place their logos and crests anywhere they can.That’s because they’re proud of the work they do and the craftsmanship of each and every Omega gaming chair.

Although owning this chair does come with a rather hefty price, we had to get our very own to see whether all the accolades it has received and hype surrounding it were warranted. The entire chair got a brand-new design and a facelift. This latest addition, the 2020 model year Omega gaming chair series comes packed with upgrades and goodies, as their top-selling flagship chair should. It’s not just the brand name either Secret Lab gaming chairs have been killing the scene since their inception and they’ve won a lot of awards with the high-quality, best-in-class products they put on the street. The Secretlab Omega gaming chair series is, without question, one of the best-selling gaming chairs on the market, period. After the dust settled though, assembly turned out to be much easier than we first expected. With so many parts and features associated with this Secret Lab chair, we were initially a little concerned that installation might be difficult or at least a bit of a hassle. We just had to get our hands on this chair to try it out and see what all the fuss is about. However, we couldn’t let price serve as a deterrent to us. Still, it’s a soft and supportive cushion that makes long sessions enjoyable.This chair caught our attention early on, even though we knew that the price point may be enough to scare a majority of gamer chair fans. If you’re the type that needs to adjust often, you’ll have to move the lumbar pillow around with you. The lumbar pillow is a bigger annoyance due to it not being able to attach to the chair at all. It’s also tough to get it into a proper position if you want to lean back on it. The head pillow wraps around the top of the chair, but likes to pop off a lot.

These are the only two flaws I have with the Omega. The chair includes a head pillow and a lumbar support pillow. The metal is high quality and the hydraulic system isn’t cheaply built to the point where you’re looking to replace the pump within six months of use. You can get out of the chair and not even tell someone was sitting in it.Īside from the sitting area of the chair, the base may be the most impressive part of the Secretlab Omega. That’s even after a few months of daily usage. In regards to the seat cushion and backrest, both feel as soft and welcoming as the first day I used them. If you need a specific position, you can make it happen with the Secretlab Omega. The chair reclines to 165 degrees and has adjustable armrests that can be raised, lowered, and tilted in or out. That’s a major win with any type of chair.
OMEGA GAMING CHAIR SKIN
Even when the room temperature reaches 80 degrees and higher with everything running, the chair stays cool without any sort of skin sticking. My office sits in one of the warmest areas in my home, and the Omega remains cool throughout. The chair material is PU leather, providing one of the more comfortable sitting experiences I’ve had with a gaming chair. But that’s more tedious than it is difficult. The longest part of the process, which is outlined in a giant poster, is the wheeled base. The two major parts - the seat and backrest - are simple to set into place. Like most Secretlab chairs, the Omega takes just about 30 minutes to put together. Luckily, it only took a few hours to realize that wasn’t going to be the case at all. As someone who falls right at that height border and weighs 206 pounds, I was a bit concerned that I’d have problems finding long-term comfort when doing my review of the Secretlab Omega. The Secretlab Omega is a chair advertised for those 5’11” or shorter and weighing less than 240 pounds. My computer can be the most powerful machine in the world, but if I can’t comfortably sit at my desk for more than 30 minutes, then it’s not worth it. When the opportunity presented itself to finally review a Secretlab chair, it was a no brainer to try the Omega.Īs someone who sits at a desk for 10-plus hours per day working, comfort is the most important thing to me. For years, Secretlab has been at the forefront of the gaming chair market with products like the Omega, Titan, and TitanXL chairs.
