I thought a chair was just a chair; As long as it didn’t wobble or squeak every time I leaned back, I was happy. But after spending long hours at my desk gaming, working, or pretending I was only there for 30 minutes, I started to wonder if updating my chair could actually make a difference. When I first encountered TTRacing Maxx chairs a few years ago, my life (or rather my back) changed forever. I’ve discovered the comfort and magic of a gaming chair. I thought everything was perfect. That is, until today, when I met TT Racing Max Pro.
The Maxx Pro is the latest gaming chair from TTRacing, which made its official debut in Taiwan in June. I wasn’t expecting this chair to completely change how I felt, but after using it for a while now, I can honestly say it has! Without further ado, here’s what surprised me, what I loved, and whether I think the TTRacing Maxx Pro gaming chair is really worth the investment.
First impressions
At first glance, the Maxx Pro certainly leaves a strong impression. It looked great right out of the box, and was very simple to assemble, so assembly was completed in less than 30 minutes. My Air Threads Fabric – The Blossom variant exudes a sleek, solid and modern design without looking overly flashy. And when it stood elegantly in the center of the room, it immediately gave me confidence that it was built to last.
Looking closer, I began to marvel at some of the discoveries. I noticed that the Maxx Pro was noticeably lighter and the base rotated more smoothly. The materials are clearly much better, with luxurious Air Threads fabric, plush velor, and memory foam cushions that feel fluffier than before. Meanwhile, the TTRacing logo is nobly placed on either side of the headrests with a raised finish, finally matching the colored metallic threads along the ultra-soft velvety accents of the Air Threads fabric. The overall design is very simple but endearing. Just enough to emphasize Maxx’s quiet but bold personality.
As for the upholstery, compared to the rubbery feel of the Maxx Gojo gaming chair or the textured feel of the Maxx Luffy gaming chair, the Maxx Pro gaming chair feels nice and silky soft. The ample space and memory foam spring add to the extraordinary luxurious experience. Really, it doesn’t make sense to me how a chair can be so comfortable! You know those quiet moments where a character leans back, closes their eyes for a moment, and the world and everything else slows down? Well, the TTRacing Maxx Pro Gaming Chair embodies this feeling surprisingly well.
The moment I sat down, it felt magical. Body-hugging fit, firm backrest, curved lumbar support, magnetic and updated cushions, 5D plush foam padded armrests, extendable leg rests, and tilt up to 135 degrees – all the comfort and functionality one needs for long hours of work, entertainment, comfort and everything in between.
Everyday work, comfort and style
Let’s be honest: Most of us spend a lot of time sitting. Whether we’re slogging through work deadlines, climbing ranked matches, editing videos, or telling ourselves “I’ll watch another episode” (which always becomes much more), our chairs are quietly determining whether we’re being productive or counting down the minutes until our backs give in. After using the TTRacing Maxx Pro for several weeks, I started to appreciate the little things I never thought about before.
For example, personalization is a game changer. I wasn’t constantly moving around trying to get comfortable, and long days in front of the computer became noticeably easier. I didn’t feel any pain or warmth, likely due to the breathable perforated backrest design. I also discovered that I might be a fan of leg rests now. Admittedly, I thought these features were gimmicky before. Now, I feel like it’s the perfect way to stretch my legs, relax, and stay warm. And oh my goodness, the 135-degree tilt of this chair is so good that 15-minute breaks literally turn into hours.
I also appreciated the texture of the airy strands again. The fabric comes from a hybrid leather, and provides great cloud-like support without feeling stiff. I didn’t feel hot on long, busy days, and the plush really gave me that fuzzy, sick feeling. Suddenly my desk feels different, I’m inspired, productive and comfortable. It’s the kind of quiet support that makes me grateful.
Most of all, my favorite part of the TTRacing Maxx Pro is the magnetic foam headrest and adjustable padded armrests. To be honest, that was my struggle with TTRacing Maxx. I was too short to reach my head and armrests, and although I loved this huge comfy chair, I adapted by always keeping a pillow by my side. So, just imagine how loved and cared I felt when I learned that TTRacing went the extra mile for the Maxx Pro.
“Every feature in the Maxx Pro existed because someone, somewhere, was uncomfortable, and we refused to accept that as normal. The magnetic neck pillow, contoured lumbar, retractable leg rest—none of them were check-box items. They were answers to real problems that real people told us about. When we say we’ve got your back, we mean it quite literally.” — Charlie Tan, Head of Product Development, TTRacing
Now, instead of wrestling with straps, the headrest magically locks into place and slides up or down on a 20cm vertical range to keep my head and shoulders warm. I was also pleasantly surprised by how the armrests can be adjusted up, down, forward, backward, and swivel 360 degrees. I can move them into a position that suits whatever task I’m doing, whether it’s writing, editing, playing with the controller, or tucking into my third hour of an anime-watching session. Other than the beginning, when I was slipping because I didn’t secure the corner, everything about it is great. I am very happy about this.
You see, I think the best chairs should be comfortable and sturdy. They’re the ones who feel like they live in the kind of space where you can get on with your work, play for hours, take a nap, or simply exist without constantly moving around trying to get comfortable. TTRacing Maxx may have raised the bar for gaming chairs, but the Maxx Pro takes things even further. It shows that TTRacing doesn’t just create great gaming chairs; It rethinks every detail to make sitting more comfortable than ever.
Final thoughts
Overall, I think the TTRacing Maxx gaming chair is great. It balances aesthetics with thoughtful ergonomic features, and is more than just an “upgraded” model; It represents TTRacing’s continuous efforts to create and deliver a world-class comfort experience that people deserve.
This means that this chair has been designed to fit every routine precisely. I can personally attest to this, especially since I’ve seen and tried their chairs for three years now! So far, my TTRacing chairs are still alive and well with no signs of wear. The build quality speaks for itself, so I’m not too worried about how advanced the Maxx Pro is.
Although it’s not the cheapest chair available, the overall comfort, build quality, and adjustability make it seem like a worthwhile investment. If you spend many hours at your desk, estimating the value becomes much easier over time. So, yes, I think the TTRacing Maxx Pro chair is definitely worth it, and I highly recommend it.
However, there are pros and cons to consider, such as preferences, lifestyle and weather conditions. To help you out, here’s a quick summary of my review of the TTRacing Maxx Pro gaming chair:
- Air filament fabric. The My Blossom model is crafted from Air Threads fabric with plush velor and cool treated foam that provides a soft, breathable and comfortable seating experience. It is more comfortable than the Gojo chair with hybrid leather. However, the fabric has its pros and cons (they are listed on the website), which I’m willing to accept because I’m just a girl – I love pink.
- Comfortable curved cotton design. The chair features a wide, open seat base, while the ergonomic backrest is designed to fit the natural S-shaped curve of your spine. The memory foam, especially the back and neck pillow (which is now magnetic), is soft but firm where it matters. It’s a simple back pain relief, well suited for long hours of work and play. As someone who sits, types, draws and writes all day, continuous support is everything to me.
- Spacious and comfortable. Size fits between height range from 165 to 200 cm. It’s a great chair! Even though I’m 160cm (5’3″) tall, I still found it very comfortable and very warm. I have my own footstool, so if you’re like me and like to fold your legs, this chair allows you to do so comfortably. The new extendable leg rest also changes the game; It’s the perfect way to stretch my legs and relax.
- 135 degrees full recline. The multi-tilt mechanism is ideal for those who want to readjust and relax while sitting. I think it’s great for naps and staying comfortable.
- 5D adjustable armrests. Soft cushions that you can move 360 degrees to suit your exact sitting position. It can be adjusted when you want to switch to mobile or sit like a gremlin. It can also be placed on top of your desk – it’s one of those little things for convenience that goes a long way.
- Stable base. The aluminum base, SGS Grade 4 hydraulics, and chrome wheels bear the full weight of this large chair, including me. It rolls smoothly too.
- Affordability. For its price of PHP 24,499.00 (original price PHP 31,599.00, about US$512), it’s not as expensive as others and is overall worth the investment for a comfortable seating experience. For a premium gaming chair in the Asian market, the Maxx Pro is fairly affordable.
- style. It’s customizable, good-looking, well-designed, and most important of all, PINK!
Just like what I said back in my country one piece and Jujutsu Kaisen Chair Review Investing in a good chair means investing in yourself, your health and your quality of life. Ultimately, your chair companion is more than just an ordinary piece of furniture; It should be a chair that supports you comfortably as you pursue your work, hobby and lifestyle. It checks in to meeting adult self-care, healing your inner child, and living in the moment. The TTRacing Maxx Pro seems like the perfect chair for this.
The TTRacing Maxx Pro also comes in seven different colors: Canyon, Blossom, Dusk, Dawn, Ivory, Obsidian, and Crimson. It is priced at PHP 23,999 or US$559 for the Hybrid Leatherette variant, while the Air Threads Fabric variant is priced at PHP 24,999 or US$569 (prices may vary depending on country market). It is available for pre-order at TT Racing website. For more information, be sure to visit their official Facebook and Instagram.
