ScorpTokyo ZERO

Most gaming chairs stop at the seat. The ScorpTokyo ZERO wraps the whole workstation around it: an arched, scorpion-style frame supports the displays, a keyboard tray and built-in lighting, turning the chair into a self-contained cockpit.

Frame and seating

According to the maker, the frame is made from 3/16" high-carbon steel and finished with high-density molded foam and PU leather. The seat reclines to 128 degrees, and the maker says the flat position exceeds 160 degrees, intended to ease the strain of holding one posture for long periods.

Monitors, controls and light

The mount follows the VESA standard (75×75 and 100×100mm), and the maker says it supports a single ultrawide monitor of up to 49 or 43 inches, or a triple setup of 29-inch screens. Monitors are not included. A control panel at the seat handles height and distance adjustment, raising and lowering the recline, and settings for the multiple LED/RGB lights on the frame. The maker says it connects with Mac, PC, PS and Xbox setups.

This is a large, heavy object. The maker states it ships in a wooden crate measuring 157 x 68 x 111cm, is made to order, and advises checking doorways, elevators and corridors in advance, as delivery is to the entrance and assembly indoors is left to the owner. The maker also notes specifications and accessories may change without notice.
