Now we’re getting to the heart of the matter. You’ve just seen that a permanent-contact mechanism is far from top-notch, but a good tilting mechanism is extraordinary. The tilting mechanism (of which there are several, which I’ll detail below) is what makes your chair… Rock back and forth. So not just the back, but also the seat. This is great because it gives your whole body continuous support on the seat and back. It also means your muscles won’t tire as quickly, because the different pressures on your body will be better distributed throughout your gaming sessions. Then there are other advantages, depending on the type of rocking mechanism you choose. So follow me, because I’m now going to explain the differences between tilting mechanisms, and you’ll see that this is very important.
