I am NOT a gamer but a Silver Surfer with back and hip problems. I could tell immediately the difference in comfort when I sat in the chair.  Honestly, I'll never use the head and footrest and will probably not use the massager. I thought the massager was built into the chair but is powered by a USB.  I'm leary about attaching it to my older model computer. The chair itself is very heavy and sturdy and if you are elderly or on the smaller side you will need help assembling the chair. I love the color. I've seen many other purple chairs for a lot more money that are not as high of quality as this is. I will be letting my significant other try my chair out to see if he'd like one also.
