That Time I Didn’t Think a Chair Could Upgrade My Setup… Until I Tried the TTRacing Maxx Pro: An Evaluation

I once considered a chair simply a chair; as long as it didn’t wobble or squeak whenever I leaned back, I was content. However, after spending countless hours at my desk gaming, working, or pretending that I’d only been there for 30 minutes, I began to contemplate whether upgrading my chair could actually enhance my experience. The first time I encountered the TTRacing Maxx chairs a few years back, my life (or my back, more accurately) changed forever. I discovered the ergonomic comfort and wonder of a gaming chair. I thought everything was flawless. That was, until today, when I came across the TTRacing Maxx Pro.

The Maxx Pro is TTRacing’s latest gaming chair, officially debuting in Taiwan this June. I wasn’t anticipating this chair to completely transform how my setup felt, but after using it for a while now, I can sincerely say it has! So, without further ado, here’s what took me by surprise, what I adored, and whether I believe the TTRacing Maxx Pro gaming chair is genuinely worth the investment.

First Impressions

At first sight, the Maxx Pro certainly leaves a strong impression. It felt high-end right out of the box, and putting it together was fairly straightforward, allowing me to complete the assembly in under 30 minutes. My Air Threads Fabric – Blossom variant exuded a sleek, solid, and modern design without being overly flashy. When it elegantly stood tall at the center of the room, it immediately conveyed the confidence that it was made to last.

Upon closer inspection, I started to become quite enamored with a few findings. I observed that the Maxx Pro was noticeably lighter, and the base rolled more smoothly. The materials are evidently a notch better, with the premium Air Threads Fabric, plush velour, and memory foam pillows feeling more luxurious than the previous models. Additionally, the TTRacing logo is prominently displayed on both sides of the headrests with a raised finish, perfectly complemented by the metallic colored threads along the ultra-soft and velvety accents of the Air Threads Fabric. The overall design is quite simple yet charming; just enough to highlight the Maxx’s quiet but assertive personality.

Regarding the upholstery, compared to the rubbery texture of the Maxx Gojo gaming chair or the textured feel of the Maxx Luffy gaming chair, the Maxx Pro gaming chair offers a gentle and silky smooth sensation. The wide space combined with the memory foam’s subtle spring contributes to an extraordinary, luxurious experience. It’s truly mind-boggling how a chair could be this soothing! You know those serene moments when a character leans back, closes their eyes momentarily, and the world around them seems to fade away? Well, the TTRacing Maxx Pro gaming chair encapsulates that sensation remarkably well.

The moment I sat down, I felt the enchantment. The body-hugging fit, firm backrest, curved lumbar support, magnetic and upgraded pillows, 5D velour foam-padded armrests, extendable leg rests, and a recline angle of up to 135 degrees– all the comfort and functionality required for lengthy periods of work, entertainment, relaxation, and everything else in between.

Daily Work, Comfort, and Style

Let’s be candid: many of us spend excessive amounts of time sitting. Whether we’re striving to meet work deadlines, climbing the ranked ladder, editing videos, or convincing ourselves “I’ll watch just one more episode” (which invariably turns into many more), our chairs quietly influence whether we’re productive or merely counting the minutes until our backs surrender. After several weeks of using the TTRacing Maxx Pro, I began to notice the small things that I hadn’t considered before.

For instance, the customization options were a game changer. I wasn’t constantly repositioning myself to find comfort, and long days in front of the screen became significantly easier. I didn’t feel sore or overheated, largely due to the breathable perforated backrest design. I also realized that I might now be a fan of leg rests. Admittedly, I once viewed these features as gimmicks. Now, I find them an ideal method to stretch my legs, unwind, and stay cozy. And let me tell you, the chair’s 135-degree recline is so good that my 15-minute breaks frequently turn into hours.

I also grew to appreciate the Air Threads Fabric all over again. Transitioning from the Hybrid Leatherette, the fabric delivered cool, cloud-like support without stiffness. My long, busy days didn’t feel sweltering, and the velour provided that fuzzy, satisfying touch. My workspace suddenly felt transformed – I was inspired, productive, and comfortable. It’s the kind of quiet support that fills me with gratitude.

Above all, my favorite aspect of the TTRacing Maxx Pro is the magnetic foam headrest and the padded adjustable armrests. To be honest, these were my previous challenges with the TTRacing Maxx. I was too short to reach the head and armrests, and although I adored this large, cozy chair, I had to keep a pillow by my side. So, just imagine how cherished and cared for I felt when I discovered that TTRacing made an extra effort for the Maxx Pro.

“Every feature on the Maxx Pro exists because someone, somewhere, was uncomfortable and we refused to accept that as normal. The magnetic neck pillow, the contoured lumbar, the retractable legrest — none of these were checkbox items. They were answers to real problems that real people told us about. When we say we have your back, we mean it quite literally.” — Sharlley Tan, Product Development Head, TTRacing

Now, instead of struggling with straps, the headrest simply snaps into place and can slide up or down within a 20cm vertical range to keep my head and shoulders snug. I was also pleasantly surprised by the adjustability of the armrests, which can move up, down, forwards, backwards, and rotate 360°. I can position them perfectly for any task I’m working on, whether it’s typing, editing, gaming with a controller, or diving into my third hour of anime binge-watching. Other than a few moments at the start, when I forgot to secure the angle, everything about it is fantastic. I’m absolutely thrilled with this.

You see, I believe the finest chairs should be comfortable and durable. They’re the ones that feel lived in. A space where you can focus on your work, game for hours, take a nap, or simply exist without continually adjusting to find comfort. The TTRacing Maxx may have elevated the standard for gaming chairs, but the Maxx Pro has taken it a step further. It demonstrates that TTRacing is not only creating excellent gaming chairs; it’s re-evaluating every detail to make sitting more comfortable than ever.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, I find that the TTRacing Maxx Gaming Chair is remarkable. It harmonizes aesthetics with thoughtful ergonomic features, and it’s more than just an “upgraded” model; it signifies TTRacing’s ongoing commitment to creating and delivering a world-class comfort experience that everyone deserves.

This chair was engineered for every routine with precision. I can personally confirm this, especially since I’ve explored and utilized their chairs for three years now! So far, my TTRacing chairs remain in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear and tear. The quality of craftsmanship speaks volumes, so I have no concerns about how the Maxx Pro will endure.TTRacing Maxx Pro Gaming Chair Review PhilippinesTTRacing Maxx Pro Gaming Chair Review – A solid chair that supports your focus, rest, and entertainment

Although it isn’t the most budget-friendly chair out there, the overall comfort, build quality, and adjustability make it feel like a worthwhile investment. If you spend extended hours at your desk, the value becomes much clearer over time. Thus, I wholeheartedly believe that the TTRacing Maxx Pro chair is absolutely worth it, and I wholeheartedly endorse it.

Still, there are advantages and disadvantages to consider, such as personal preferences, lifestyle, and climatic conditions. To assist you, here’s a quick summary of my review of the TTRacing Maxx Pro Gaming Chair:

  • Air Threads Fabric. My Blossom variant is adorned with Air Threads Fabric featuring plush velour and cold-cure foam that offers a soft, breathable, and comfortable seating experience. It’s far cozier than my Gojo chair which has Hybrid Leatherette. However, fabric has its own pros and cons (detailed on the website), and I’m willing to embrace them because I’m just a girl — I like pink.
  • Ergonomic Curved Lumbar and Design. The chair has a spacious, open-ended seat base, while the ergonomic backrest is shaped to complement your spine’s natural S-curve. The memory foam, particularly in the back and neck pillow (now magnetic), is soft while still providing necessary support. It offers relief from back aches, making it well-suited for extended hours of work or gaming. As someone who sits, types, draws, and writes throughout the day, the uninterrupted support is essential for me.
  • Spacious and Comfy. The size accommodates height ranges from 165 to 200 cm. It’s a large chair! Even though I’m 160 cm (5’3″), I find it very comfortable and snug. With my own footstool, if you’re like me and enjoy folding your legs, this chair makes it possible to do so comfortably. The new extendable leg rest also enhances my experience; it’s the ideal way to stretch my legs and unwind.
  • 135-degree Full Recline. The multi-tilt mechanism is perfect for anyone looking to reset and relax while seated. I think it’s ideal for quick naps and remaining cozy.
  • 5D Adjustable Armrests. Soft cushions that can be adjusted by 360° to suit your exact seating position. They can be repositioned whether you want to switch to a mobile position or sit like a gremlin. They can also align perfectly with your desk – these little details in comfort make a significant difference.
  • Stable Base. The aluminum base, Class 4 SGS hydraulics, and chrome casters effortlessly support the total weight of this large chair, including myself. It rolls exceptionally smoothly as well.
  • Affordability. Priced at PHP 24,499 (originally PHP 31,599.00, roughly USD 512), it’s not overtly expensive compared to others and is generally a worthy investment for a comfortable seating experience. For a premium gaming chair in the Asian market, the Maxx Pro is relatively affordable.
  • Style. It’s customizable, visually appealing, well-constructed, and, most importantly, it’s pink!

As I mentioned previously in my ONE PIECE and JUJUTSU KAISEN chair review, investing in a quality chair means investing in yourself, your health, and your overall quality of life. Ultimately, your chair companion is more than mere furniture; it should be THE chair that comfortably supports you in pursuing your work, hobbies, and lifestyle. It fulfills essential adult self-care, nurtures your inner child, and encourages living in the moment. The TTRacing Maxx Pro truly feels like the ideal chair for that.
