Razer has done it has made a name for itself in the gaming space, with powerful equipment that can meet the high demands and unique needs that gamers have. The company makes everything from Customizable gaming mouse ARRIVE Powerful laptop. But can Razer meet the needs of gamers? With Razer Fujin Pro gaming chair, it seems the answer is yes.
Unlike most gaming chairs, the Fujin Pro doesn’t look out of place in a typical office. It avoids the all-too-common racing car seat, instead opting for a lightweight, breathable mesh on an aluminum alloy frame that looks stylish without being too showy.
The Fujin Pro model has a few advantages over Its cheaper cousin: The aforementioned aluminum frame replaces the nylon frame on the Fujin; Adjustable headrests are now an included option, rather than an add-on; Lumbar support can be adjusted both vertically and forward and backward; and the armrests can now be adjusted in four different directions.
All create a premium chair that will satisfy any gamer.
S tier support
The first thing that impressed me about the Fujin Pro was how incredibly easy it was to set up and customize. The aluminum frame is so sturdy that when I installed the chair on the base, it held itself in place with minimal support while I tightened the bolts. All told, setup takes about 15 minutes.
Once the chair was upright, I expected to spend some time fiddling with the levers and dials to adjust it to my comfortable position, but even this was simpler than I anticipated. guess. A switch on the right side releases the pneumatic cylinder to raise the chair to the correct height, and another switch on the left side allowed me to slide the chair legs forward and back. They both returned to position when I was satisfied and released them.

This is all pretty standard, but the lumbar support and backrest surprised me the most. The lumbar module on the back of the chair has a large dial and two easy-to-grip handles, both of which I could reach while sitting in the chair. The handle allows me to move the lumbar support higher or lower along my back, while the dial pushes the support forward or backward.
Meanwhile, the backrest has two modes. You can pull up a switch along the left side of the chair to lock the back in place, or press down to tilt the entire backrest freely. And when I say the entire seat, I mean the base and all. While the back of the chair can tilt further, independent of the base, the bottom of the chair tilts largely parallel to the back, making reclining extremely comfortable.
A dial on the right side of the chair’s base controls the amount of backrest the chair provides, and it’s surprisingly sturdy. I usually prefer to lock my seat, as I tend to slouch, but with the resistance set high, I can get enough force from the seat to lean back without losing any support.
up in arms
For the most part, I don’t pay much attention to the armrests on office chairs. They are very convenient (ha) for sitting and resting, but they may or may not be in a useful position for the way I sit in the chair. But the Fujin Pro’s armrests are so flexible that I actually got to use them.
The armrests can be adjusted in four different ways. A switch on the outside lets you adjust their height, and a button on the inside lets you slide them left or right. If this is all the customization the armrest offers then it’s probably enough.
