Razer’s influence extends far beyondhigh-end gaming laptopslike theRazer Blade 16.
I want to be sure you know exactly what you’re buying.
Here’s what I love about the Iskur V2 and what doesn’t impress me.
A bit of Razer detail on one of the 4D armrests.
I sit a lot.
Too much, despite a hybrid standing desk.
Razer supplied me with a review unit of its Iskur V2 gaming chair.
It had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
The Iskur V2 is available tobuy directly from Razer, where you’ll find the best customization options.
The chair is available in black faux leather with black or green stitching.

It’s also available in a fabric finish with a “Dark Gray” color.
However, you could also find it for sale at Best Buy and Amazon.
Here’s the stuff I really like about the Razer Iskur V2.
The dial that’s used to adjust lumbar height.(Image credit: Future)
Lumbar positioning is handled by two large dials, one on either side of the chair.
I can feel it moving when I shift.
The chair, even without the base attached, is quite heavy due to a steel frame inside.

The aluminum and steel five-point base is heavy, sturdy, and balanced.
I have the synthetic EPU leather model with black cover and green stitching.
How well it might hold up after a year or two, I can’t honestly comment on.
Stitching and fabric are top-notch on the Iskur V2.
Fully-adjustable armrests
Armrests are one feature for which I’m particularly picky.
Thankfully, Razer nailed the 4D armrest design.
They move up and down, forward and back, in and out, and they even rotate.
The 4D armrests move up and down, in and out, forward and back. They also swivel.
It does, however, cost nearly three times as much as the Iskur V2.
I’ve kept that price difference in mind when testing Razer’s chair.
Asking my partner to sit in the chair with no prompting, she came to the same conclusion.
The Iskur V2’s seat is hard from the get-go, and it so far hasn’t gotten any better.
Seat depth isn’t adjustable, either.
So far, comfort on one of the most important parts of the chair is lacking.
Thank goodness for my office mat.
The plastic casters on the Iskur V2 are a departure from the rest of the build quality.
The casters are definitely a weak spot where Razer cut corners.
They’re plastic throughout other than the anchor post, which is metal.
The foam inside the pillow is soft and spongy, and the material on the outside is luxurious.

Can’t fault Razer there.
I do have to say, I’ll be taking Razer’s pillow with me on my next flight.
Is it big enough?

The 6'5" maximum user height set by Razer is definitely right at the limit.
Razer considers this a medium chair, and I hope to see an XL version in the future.
Razer made an Iskur V1 XL, so it’s a possibility.
The maximum height for the chair is only just high enough for me at 6'3".
It’s too bad the seat doesn’t offer the same level of comfort.
