ScorpTokyo Gatling

The Gatling is the successor to ScorpTokyo's GeeScorpion gaming chair, and it keeps that model's sturdy scorpion-style frame while reworking the design around a heavy-tank theme. The maker describes it as a high-end gaming chair built for long sessions of gaming, work or watching video, with a frame finished in a high-durability coating.

Tracks instead of casters

The most distinctive element sits under the seat: a track-belt base. The maker says it improves stability when seated, and that the belts rotate when the whole unit is pushed from behind, making it easier to reposition within a room. The track sections are rubber, which the maker says lets the chair move without scratching floors.

Seating, screens and controls

According to the maker, the seat uses an ergonomic design intended to reduce strain on the neck, shoulders and back, and the position can be adjusted up to 120° via electric reclining driven by what the maker calls a hydraulic motor. Monitor height is adjustable, and the mount folds away when not in use. The keyboard and mouse shelf, roughly 69 x 32 cm, can be adjusted in both height and distance.

Dimmable, color-changing RGB lighting is controlled from a controller above the monitors, alongside what the maker describes as anti-glare soft downlighting intended to reduce eye strain. The chair has built-in HDMI and DP cabling, three cables in total, with additional cables available pre-installed.
