Cooler Master Hybrid 1 Ergo Review

Gaming chairs have continued to evolve in the last few years, as comfort and style have now been combined with ergonomics. The new models are promising the best of both worlds to people, which include ergo comfort and gamer style that allows you to sit for hours without complaining about a sore back. If you are looking for such a chair, the Cooler Master Hybrid 1 one option to explore.

Design and features

You will find that the Cooler Master Hybrid 1 Ergo looks very much like a traditional racing seat. The seat is thickly-padded and white that boasts black polyurethane leather. The neck cushion is thick and built in. The whole chair comes off as style in a rather subtle way and it can also function as a regular office chair. But, it comes with additional features that make it unique.

These include a mesh center on the backrest, which conforms to the body. Leather-trimmed cold cure foam has been used for making the headrest and bolsters, which explains the use of ‘Hybrid’ in its name. It also comes with lumbar support that can be seen through the backrest, allowing you to direct it exactly where required.

The 24-inch seat also allows you to sit in different ways, such as crossing your legs if you want. It has been designed for users who weigh 264 pounds, or less and are between 5’5” and 6’3” tall. Some of the other adjustments that the chair offers are common like you can lower, or raise the chair with the levers on the side. The chair can be tilted into a full recline, which means a full 180 degrees. It has comfortable armrests, boasting three dimensions of movement. The wheels are made of aluminum, while the steel frame offers durability.

Performance

The Cooler Master Hybrid 1 Ergo is quite a comfortable chair, as the adjustable lumbar offers good support. You will have to make some adjustments initially to find the best fit where the lumbar is concerned. You can adjust it to a comfortable position in accordance with the posture you prefer.

Cooler Master has also done a good job where the headrest is concerned. It is firmer, wider and contoured for cradling the head and the neck. The armrests also use a soft foam, so you do not have to worry about sore elbows.

Assembly

The biggest issue that people may have with the Cooler Master Hybrid 1 Ergo is in terms of assembly, as it is not easy to put the chair together. The same pattern usually applies to gaming chairs and same is the case here as well. Cooler Master has also given the two drivers that are needed. But, if something goes even a little wrong, you might end up breaking something and this is a big risk, considering the price.
