The aesthetics are subtle, though, and it could also work in a home office setup.
Of course, it’s not just for gaming, either.
If you work from home, you might suddenly become more tolerant of those lengthy Microsoft Teams meetings.
Are you ready to take your battle station to a whole new royal level of luxury?
The uThrone is available for around $900 fromOSIM.com(orOSIM.co.uk).
The only part I struggled with was aligning the screw for the side covers.
As a final step, you should position the chair and plug in the power cable.
The cable is probably one of the weakest parts of the package for a few reasons.
However, its quite an understated coloring with just a few outer sections highlighted rather than the entire body.
Again, the fabric doesn’t seem like it would rip easily, but only time will tell.
A large lumbar pillow and headrest are provided, both black, with the oSIM logo on the headrest.
The only other branding is some discreet uThrone text on the left side.
It seems secure enough.
The armrests are also height adjustable.
Neither of these mechanisms requires much figuring out if you’ve ever used an office or gaming chair.
While the uThrone can recline a good amount, the base of the seat remains locked horizontally.
The uThrone Massage Experience: Energize!
This is the more vigorous of the three, and it’s the one I almost always choose.
Having lived in Japan for eight years, I’m no stranger to massage chairs.
We also own a Homedics branded massage pillow that straps onto any chair.
Compared to either of those experiences, the uThrone is superior.
Clearly, massage is one area of technology that has quietly been innovating over the past decade.
But, be careful.
As well as vertical movement, they appear to roll, and feature impactful knocking or punching mechanics too.
From looking at the full oSIM catalog, I’d expect nothing less.
Take my word for it; it feels amazing.
Fit for a King (or Queen)?
At this price, I dont think a few hundred dollars extra would make a big difference.
The speakers could have been wired.
Theres a wire anyway, and this would have enabled better quality and more powerful, bass-heavy sound.
It could then have been useful as a general audio system, rather than just during massages.
That would have made this my ultimate gaming chair.
It’s a little difficult to nap on this with your legs dangling down.
The aesthetics are subtle, though, and it could easily work in a home office setup, too.
