The Asus ROG Destrier Core is one of the latest products to hit the premium gaming chair market, with the company offering a core and premium version of the gaming chair.
For review purposes, the company sent me the core version of the chair to test. Retailing at $630/£500, the Asus ROG Destrier Core is a little on the expensive side, but does the improved comfort and posture make it worth the additional cost?
Firstly, let's take a look at the design. The Asus ROG Destrier Core is marketed as being a futuristic gaming chair with a cyborg design.
While it is undeniable that the chair has a certain aesthetic appeal to it when compared to the likes of the Secretlab Titan Evo, I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed by its design.
However, for gamers who prefer a more minimalistic design the Asus ROG Destrier could be perfect, whereas for gamers who prefer a flashy RGB gaming chair, Asus’s previous entry the ROG Chariot RGB looks much more the part. Fabric: Mesh Tilt: 90°/112°/125° Weight: 22.5 kg Maximum Load: 136 kg Recommended Height: 165-185 cm Price: $630/£500 Sure, the head cushion is unique, the gaming chair sports the signature ROG logo, and the back rocks a pretty unique frame, but truth be told, if it wasn’t for the headrest I would have trouble picking it out from a line-up of standard office chairs.
