Secretlab Titan XXS review: This chair is for the dogs, and smaller humans
When I first saw the Secretlab Titan XXS, it was just an April Fools’ Day joke that included images of dogs sitting in a tiny gaming chair. Now, customer feedback inspired Secretlab to make the chair a reality, and thus, the Secretlab Titan XXS was born.
The Titan XXS is a 1:2 scale model of Secretlab’s other Titan chairs. It has all the bells and whistles that you’d expect from a premium gaming chair, but smaller.
I don’t have any children, at least not any human ones, so I made sure to get feedback from my friend who games with their children regularly. I also had my dogs try it out, though with less success.

The unboxing and assembly process for the Titan XXS is simple, at least for humans. The included tools are handy and easy to use. I actually still use the screwdriver around the house. The pre-drilled holes make screwing in bolts a breeze.
The Titan XXS is sturdy, with no noticeable creaks or loose parts. It’s what I’d expect from Secretlab, which makes some of the best gaming chairs.
Since I’m over the height and weight limit for the Titan XXS and many of you probably want to know if the chair is good for children, I got my friend to take a look at the chair. They game with their kids regularly and are more of the target audience for a chair like this.
“It’s good. It’s really really comfy. I like spinning around on it,” said my friend’s six-year-old. My buddy also added with a hint of jealousy that the Titan XXS was better than their own gaming chair.

My youngest dog Charlie is pretty clever when it comes to solving puzzles. He can untie a knot in a rope with his teeth and paws, but he couldn’t screw the bolts into the Titan XXS. In fact, he couldn’t even open the box. Needless to say, the chair is not very accessible to furry friends with paws.

Secretlab Titan XXS: Competition

For the higher price of the Secretlab Titan XXS, you get quality craftsmanship and solid build quality. There’s also a five-year warranty for the chair from Secretlab. Our managing editor has reviewed quite a few chairs from Secretlab, and they’ve all held up well over time. I expect similar results for the Titan XXS, though I only had it for a few weeks as part of my review.
Secretlab also has its own competition for the Titan XXS. While the Titan XXS is the smallest chair from Secretlab, it’s not the only small chair from the company. The Titan EVO 2022 series has three different sizes, with the smallest being for people under 5’6″ that are under 200 lbs. Those chairs have a wider range of color and material options than the Titan XXS. If you’re a teen or adult that just wants a smaller gaming chair, it may be worth bumping up to the full Titan lineup.
Secretlab Titan XXS: Should you buy it?

You should buy this if …
- You have children that enjoy gaming
- You want an adorable piece of furniture
- You want an expensive stepping stool for your pet
You shouldn’t buy this if…
- You’re larger than 5’2″ and 154 lbs
- You’re on a budget
- Your dogs turn down expensive seats
The Titan XXS is for children who enjoy gaming. While it supports people up to 5’2″ and 154 lbs, there are other options that may be better for adults over 5-foot. Sadly, I cannot recommend the chair for dogs, at least based on how mine chose to ignore it.
The Secretlab Titan XXS will disarm you with its cuteness and provide a comfortable seat for children while gaming. It’s pricey compared to the competition, but it’s one of the best gaming chairs for kids. Any kid that sits in a Titan XXS will feel like a real gamer.
