The ThunderX3 CORE Series Gaming Chairs are going to revolutionise your gaming set up. Featuring an advanced, six-way mechanism, self-adjusting tech, and oodles of style, these gaming chairs are as comfortable as they are gorgeous. It’s high time we learned more!
Unveiling the ThunderX3 Core
ThunderX3 CORE Series
Not content with just bringing you a whole new series, there are two different models in the ThunderX3 CORE line up – each with their own unique styling. We have the Modern, sleek and suave with rich colours and a silky finish, and the Loft is soft with a brushed effect adding a touch of elegance.
CORE Modern Black
CORE Loft Grey
Innovative Comfort Features
Whilst they have their own distinct looks, the ThunderX3 CORE Gaming Chairs all share the same ergonomic principles. These are:
- A SYNC6 mechanism that boasts six-way adjustability
- CORE.RDY 360 Tech with self-adjusting capabilities
- Padded 4D armrests configurable four ways
- Detachable headrest pillow with flexible placement
- Multipurpose footrest with three different uses
- Easy to reach pocket for peripherals
SYNC 6 Mechanism
The SYNC6 mechanism is situated underneath the seat base, and it is the control centre of a large portion of the ThunderX3 CORE adjustability. Six ways, remember. This mechanism is responsible for the synchronous tilt, seat base movement, and backrest recline.
Starting with the synchronous tilt, this allows the seat base and backrest to move at an optimal ratio, in contrast to them rocking back together in a fixed position. As a result, your whole body is supported as you lean back. What’s more, there is a multi-angle lock, allowing you to set the recline at the position that suits you best. You can also adjust the recline resistance, with four levels to choose from.
It doesn’t stop there! The SYNC6 mechanism is the first of Thunderx3’s to feature a forward seat base tilt. When engaged, this allows the seat base to gently rock forward with as you lean into your work, gaming session, or desk. Enjoy a healthy posture and good circulation wherever you sit! Finally, the seat base can also be adjusted up and down as well as back and forth.
CORE.RDY 360 Tech
The CORE.RDY 360 Tech is a truly innovative feature. This is included on the panel built directly into the back rest. It is able to move independently in all directions. This panel is self-adjusting, meaning it moves with you, as you shift and wriggle. Experience excellent lumbar and spinal support. At. All. Times.
Bougie stuff.
4D Armrests
4D armrests are a staple of gaming chairs, and these ones are padded! They can be adjusted four ways, as the name “4D” suggests. Configure their height, depth to the chair, angle, and how far forward or back the rest is positioned.
Detachable Headrest Pillow
There are not one, but two accessories included within the scope of delivery! The first is a detachable headrest pillow. Semi-circular in shape, it is held in place by reinforced elasticated straps that can be adjusted. These allow you to position the pillow in the best spot to suit your ergonomic needs. From there, the soft memory foam and extended wings provide unparalleled comfort for you head and neck, alleviating muscle pain while it’s at it.
Multipurpose Footrest
The second accessory is the multipurpose footrest, with a solid base and domed cushion padded with firm foam. This can be used in three ways, to suit different needs and gaming set ups. First, we have Footrest Mode. This is where you place the solid base on the ground and rest your feet on the cushion’s dome and soft, yet durable fabric cover. Benefits of this position is that it promotes good sitting posture and stimulates circulation. Next, we have Rocker Mode. This is the opposite configuration, cushion on the ground and feet on the solid surface. In this position, you can engage your lower leg muscles and feet. Never skip leg day, even when gaming!
Finally, you can bring this footrest onto your desk and use it as a wrist rest when gaming with a controller. (We have some great cleaning tips, if you wanted to keep this footrest fresh!)
Imagine the delight you see on a woman’s face when you compliment her dress and she says, “It has pockets!” That is the joy I feel for this feature. On the back of the backrest at the bottom, there is a pocket. It is spacious and conveniently placed that you can reach inside it without getting off the chair. What should you keep in this pocket? It is perfectly placed for storing peripherals that aren’t currently in use and is deep enough to hold gaming laptops and notebooks. Personally, I will be keeping all my gaming snacks in this pocket. A snacket, if you will.
Materials
On top of all these wonderful ergonomic features (yes, a pocket is tantamount to comfort), the ThunderX3 CORE Gaming Chairs have a premium build quality. From frame to casters, these gaming chairs are manufactured with durable materials that will keep these chairs at your desk for longer.
The frame is constructed from steel, providing stable and robust foundation for the CORE gaming chairs. They are padded with moulding and latex foams, that facilitate outstanding support as you sit. For their upholstery, these chairs utilise a leatherette or woven fabric, that is delightfully breathable and will keep you fresh throughout your gaming sessions.
The base is manufactured from aluminium and formed into a five-point shape. Each arm ends in a 75mm caster, with a seamless glide. The base stem features a Safety Class 4 gas lift, which is BIFMA X5.1 approved and rated to support up to 150kg.
Perfection.
