Review: The MAXNOMIC XBOX 2.0 OFC Gaming Chair
Shopping for the right gaming chair can be a huge commitment, especially if you’re someone like me who spends most of their life glued to it for work and play. In past experiences, I’ve spent weeks researching the proverbial perfect model that fits all my needs, made the big purchase, and ultimately ended up disappointed or frustrated by glaring shortcomings. This has been the tragic history of my experiences with my last several gaming chairs.
More recently I’ve had the pleasure of going buns-on with a truly impressive product from MAXNOMIC. This fantastically designed gaming chair packs subtle style, comfort, and loads of ergonomic support into a sturdy, well-crafted frame. While it isn’t necessarily “perfect,” after several weeks of testing I can safely say the MAXNOMIC XBOX 2.0 OFC is the ultimate gaming chair for die-hard Xbox fans.

I often speak of my preferences for clean, minimalistic design with my gaming accessory reviews and that’s likely why I’m so pleased by the sleek aesthetic presented with the MAXNOMIC XBOX 2.0 OFC Gaming Chair. While the palette is primarily gray and black, the green stitching featured along the sides and interwoven in the seat cushioning adds a nice pop of color. For an extra splash of personality, you even have the option to add custom embroidery to your headrest. I kept it simple with my name, but a Gamertag or online persona would be a great fit here.
In my tests so far, this is one of the most resilient office chairs I’ve had the pleasure of using.

Another element of the MAXNOMIC XBOX 2.0 OFC Gaming Chair I was thoroughly impressed by was the build quality. This chair boasts a strong, sturdy frame with plenty of weight to it. This certainly doesn’t make it the easiest piece of furniture to maneuver around the house, but once in position, there’s no denying the engineering prowess of this excellent product. When grabbing the backrest to pull this chair around my office I never felt any noticeable give. This is an area where models I’ve used in the past have felt somewhat cheap or flimsy. In my tests so far, this is one of the most resilient office chairs I’ve had the pleasure of using.

Another factor that will undoubtedly be tough for a wider audience to swallow is the price tag, which is fairly steep. This is a premium product with a host of premium features, but at $500 this isn’t something I can recommend to the average user. I don’t think $500 is unfair for the quality I’ve experienced with the MAXNOMIC XBOX 2.0 OFC Gaming Chair, but there are some tried and true manufacturers like Secretlab that offer similar features for slightly less.

The Razer Iskur is another premium gaming chair that’s bold enough to flaunt a $500 price tag. However, if you are in the market for one of the most comfortable gaming chairs our team has tried and want the same emphasis on lumbar support and ergonomics, this is absolutely a model to consider. The 4D Armrests on this model also alleviate my main complaint with the MAXNOMIC XBOX 2.0 OFC Gaming Chair.

You should buy this if …
- You want a well-crafted premium gaming chair
- You want a product with great ergonomic support
- You appreciate the minimalistic, Xbox-centric design
You shouldn’t buy this if…
- You are shopping on a budget
- You want more narrow armrests
- You don’t have someone to help you carry it up the stairs
Despite its shockingly high price point, the MAXNOMIC XBOX 2.0 OFC is a genuinely remarkable gaming chair, especially for Xbox fans. If you’re in the market for premium quality and don’t mind paying for it and want to represent “Team Green” in your home or office, I can’t recommend this product enough. Although, if $500 is asking too much or the Xbox branding isn’t a selling point for you, there are plenty of other solid options on the market to consider.
While there isn’t a great deal of competition when it comes to premium, Xbox-branded gaming chairs right now, I’m not exaggerating at all when I say the MAXNOMIC XBOX 2.0 OFC is the ultimate gaming chair for Xbox fans. With top-tier build quality, firm yet supportive comfort, and excellent attention to ergonomics, there’s a lot to love outside of the sleek design aesthetic. Price will be the biggest barrier for many here, but if you’re willing or able to shell out the $500, you will not be disappointed.
Review: Corsair’s K60 RGB Pro Low Profile is a dream to type and game on
Corsair has a slightly more affordable low-profile mechanical keyboard than its K70 and it’s the K60 RGB Pro Low Profile. This keyboard comes rocking Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches, as well as some neat design elements and features that make it a great keyboard for the price.
