- Guess who's back with another chair unboxing.
That's right.
Vertagear sponsored this video
for us to talk about their SL5800,
which is part of their new 800 series lineup
that they just announced.
We're gonna start by just diving in.
We're just gonna run through this
and just hope for the best.
Short circuit pretty much is friend circuit.
I mean, we're all here.
We're all hanging out.
We're pretty much all hosting this video together.
So part of what Vertagear advertises on their site is
that this should be a very simple installation,
so we'll be the judge of that.
So it looks like Vertagear sent us their
carbon black color way,
which is one of six different color variants
that they offer for this model.
We're working with the SL5800,
which I got because I'm a short boy.
So the SL5800 is rated for people up to six feet tall
and a weight limit of up to 250 pounds.
And they've got three other models.
They've got one on the SL line
and two on the PL line
just for different body shapes and sizes.
So far,
I would say this is a pretty standard unboxing experience.
Okay, we've got the seat,
and I think the rest of the box is just
packaging to this point.
So I'm gonna move this out of the way.
I don't wanna hype things up too much,
but the biggest thing about building chairs is
how easy is it really to build?
And this accessory box holds the key,
holds the answer to how difficult or easy this is gonna be.
Okay.
Is this instructions?
Boy...
Oh, that's nice.
I like this.
It's so nice
when they just have the instructions right there.
You got them.
You're good to go, right?
Just make sure we have everything.
Gear.
What's that?
Pet hair remover?
Bro, what?
That's sick.
That's interesting.
Don't see that on a lot of other chairs.
This is how I clean my house.
Just kind of never existed.
Guys, this is a video.
This is short circuit.
We're trying to test the important things here.
Does anybody got any pet hair on them?
Well it's not pet hair,
but it's close.
Yo, that's pretty good.
I really like the layout of the instructions.
So it's got all the different languages
and the actual images on the same page,
which is really cool.
A lot of instruction manuals will have like different pages
for different language,
and you gotta kind of flip through them
because English is in the middle
and you're trying to find it and stuff.
It's just nice having everything on one page.
One thing that's nice about video is that
viewers don't get to see how long it takes me
to build these chairs sometimes.
I do have a little piece of constructive feedback
and it's that they don't have a closeup
of how this is supposed to line up,
and I'm kind of blind.
That's not their fault though.
Oh yeah, of course.
I can see it.
I love to sit.
- [David] Don't stand up for what you believe in.
(both laugh) - Don't...
Ooh.
Sit down for what you believe in.
You shouldn't even have to stand for what you believe in.
You should be able to sit and believe in it.
Just like I believe in putting this chair together.
These are really easy.
The casters just slide in.
Super straightforward.
We're gonna flip it.
There we go.
And that's pretty much it.
Thank you for...
(laughs)
Editor's note,
make sure I'm perfect.
Everything I do is perfect.
Whoa, oh.
Now I need my tool.
My M8 tool.
Ain't that right, mate?
Dad jokes.
My dad jokes have really ramped up
since the last time I hosted one of these videos.
I will say I do genuinely like the look
of the M8 screws on the side here.
A lot of other chairs have that metal bracket
and you can kind of see it.
This is nice and flush
and it's just clean,
which is cool.
Bam!
And just like that, the chair is assembled.
We just need to put the pillow on it
and it is complete.
Look at that.
Now that we've got the chair built,
we're gonna install the optional RGB LED upgrade kit,
which costs $229.99,
you can get with your chair.
And the reason that you might want to get it
with your chair is
that it connects wirelessly to your computer.
You can sync up audio, gaming,
all sorts of different features
and you can even customize it.
We've actually got this thing customized with our logo.
You'll see shortly.
Let's actually unbox this thing first.
Whoa, what the heck?
LTTstore.com baby.
That's where you get this screwdriver,
available for back order now.
We just had to grab a torques bit for the screwdriver
to remove the headrest here.
So we'll get this off.
The upgrade kit comes with a torques bit and screwdriver,
but of course we're using the LTT Store one.
(laughs)
All right, and then this just, boop, goes on there.
This goes on the other side.
RGB baby.
Fantastic.
Battery slot.
Got four of these batteries right here, folks.
Vertagear says that the battery should last up to 14 hours
on a single charge.
There's actually alternate ways
to charge the batteries as well,
so I'll show you...
The way that we're gonna charge the batteries is
with this magnetic battery charger.
You can opt to have an external charging solution as well.
Next step is getting this thing paired
now that we've got everything installed.
So we're gonna wheel the chair over here
and we just need to install this fancy USB into...
Where is the USB port on this thing?
Oh, up top.
Perfect.
To enable pairing mode,
press and long hold the power button
for at least three seconds.
Once the button is released
the LED lights will shine red
indicating the pairing mode is enabled.
It's blue!
We're paired.
We did it.
I'd like to thank my mom, my friends, my family,
David, Bell, the viewers.
The next step is to finally sit in this thing.
I've been waiting for the last 20 minutes to do this,
but first, a word from our sponsor.
Just gotcha.
I gotcha.
Vertagear's the sponsor.
This is a sponsored video.
First, you gotta do the caster test.
You're gonna need to give me some space, David.
Back up everybody.
Somebody catch me.
That's smooth.
Wide seat base, which I like.
You've got room to kind of move around and shuffle.
All right.
This is very standard.
The armrests here.
Assuming four-dimensional.
What?
- [Bell] The LED is, like, broken.
- It's not broken.
No guys.
Guys.
- [David] It's not seated correctly.
It's...
No, it's totally fine.
Guys, seated.
Alex, take a seat.
Give me your thoughts.
(laughs) - It's not bad.
- Nice wiggle.
Nice wiggle.
- This material is really nice actually.
It's nice and cushiony.
- It is.
- Is there any adjustable lumbar support?
- No adjustable lumbar support.
It's supposed to just guide your back into place.
How's that doing for you?
- I would be in pain if I sat on this for too long.
- Fair.
- These right here are not wide enough for my shoulders,
so they're pushing my shoulder blades forward.
- Oh, you know what?
How tall are you?
- Six feet.
You should try one of their other chairs.
- The bigger one?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- This one's for me.
- Okay.
So if you're shorter, - Yeah.
it might be fine, okay.
- Yeah, you bet.
One of the most important things you should be thinking of
when you're buying a gaming chair is how comfortable it is.
Vertagear's lumbar support system is called Contour Max,
and basically what it is
is four TPE support modules that help
kind of ease your back into how you should sit
for a prolonged period of time.
I haven't tested this thing for too long,
but at first sit,
it's comfortable.
I feel supported, which is good.
And I don't have to adjust anything,
which is really nice.
I feel like a lot of people when they get these chairs,
they don't exactly understand how lumbar support
is supposed to work,
so they kind of just leave it
or you don't have it at all.
And this is just there, which is good.
And that's why you're buying this specific model
for your height and weight
so that you're roughly going to fit into it.
Another thing I noticed when I sat
in this chair is that it's nice and cushy.
And what that is is memory foam.
And what Vertagear has is
eight hexagonal pillars
that kind of adapt to the way that you're sitting on it
so it can transfer airflow
so it can keep you cool and supported at the same time.
Next up, now that we've got the RGB configured here,
we're gonna set it up with NZXT CAM,
and then we're gonna start gaming.
NZXT CAM is set up.
We're just gonna configure the lighting.
So it detected the chair head.
We can control brightness.
Ooh.
It's 10 LEDs on each of these bad boys, I believe.
Once you have NZXT CAM, it's easy.
Just go to the lighting section,
and then you've got this drop down here
and it's got all these different modes.
If you scroll down, you can sync it up with music,
you can sync it up with your game.
Let's start by syncing it up with music
and playing some crab rave.
(upbeat music)
Very nice.
Cool.
It's one way to sync it.
You can also sync it up with your game,
which we will do next.
While we're waiting for Rainbow Six Siege to boot,
we set it to sync up with the GPU temperature.
We're looking pretty good right now.
Ooh, Rainbow Six Siege.
It's been so long.
My back is feeling supported.
I'll tell you that right now.
I finally have the support in my life that I need.
Gotta go in for the knife.
Oh, I lost.
- [Bell] It's close bro.
- That's okay.
That's okay.
I felt supported though.
That's nice.
So that's pretty much it for the RGB.
If you don't like NZXT CAM,
this chair's also compatible with Signal RGB.
And now we're gonna talk about something
that we need to talk about.
Gamers.
They get a little warm.
They get a little sweaty,
and you don't want your chair to smell bad, okay?
And Vertagear, they got you covered.
You know how?
Vertagear has their HygennX technology,
which uses coffee ground nanotechnology
to prevent odors and also their embroidery is silver lined,
so it also prevents odors
and moisture wicking and stuff like that, so...
It doesn't smell like coffee,
but it doesn't smell bad.
To validate this product,
we need to get others in here to test it
and first is Arty.
- Official gamer.
How much do you actually game?
Do you game?
- I game a little bit.
- A little bit?
Okay. Okay.
This is the Vertagear SL5800.
- All right.
- How is it?
- I feel like I could game.
- What do you sit on at home?
- I sit on like this cheap ergonomic office chair.
- Cheap ergonomic office chair.
You just called ergonomic office chair?
Is that how it was marketed?
- Yeah, no that's really...
(laughs)
- It has like a lumbar support,
so it's ergonomic.
- Okay, okay.
That's the definition?
- Yes.
- Cool.
- I don't know.
- All right.
Hey, what do you think about RGB on your chair, though?
- I do- - Wireless RGB.
- I do like me some RGB.
I'm not gonna lie.
- Sweet.
You ever play Rainbow Six Siege?
- I played it once.
- Well, you're gonna play it twice.
(both laugh)
You're gonna play it twice bud.
It's just supposed to be good vibes,
and feel free to adjust the armrests and stuff like that.
It's got 4D armrests.
It's got the waterfall- - 4D?
- Yeah, four dimensional bro.
- Wait...
- So you're looking for rainbows right now?
- Yes.
- That's not what this game is about.
This game is about tactical performance.
- Just like this chair.
(laughs)
- I couldn't have said it better myself.
So another thing that this chair has,
you might notice that the base doesn't go out super far.
It's got a waterfall edge.
That's to prevent your legs
from falling asleep when you're sitting too long.
- Oh.
- How tall are you?
- Never even thought about this.
About 5'8".
- 5'8"?
Okay, so we're close to the same height.
- Yep.
- And how much do you weigh?
(both laugh)
Do you game on PC?
- I use my PC.
- Okay.
- No, I use my Mac.
- Okay.
- What are your thoughts on chairs?
- It's pretty comfortable.
It's got, like...
The cushioning is pretty good.
- Yeah, it's good.
Memory foam.
What do you think of the casters?
- The casters?
- Yeah, move your chair around.
- Smooth.
- They're smooth.
- Yeah.
I love Vertagear's casters.
I'm not just saying that.
We used to have Vertagear's chairs all throughout the office
and I loved zooming around on them.
- Viewers, just go to IKEA and try those casters
and you'll know.
- Yeah.
Next up for our testing, we have Sarah,
the Sarah.
Are you a gamer?
- No, yes.
- Well, do you sit in chairs?
- Yes, I do.
- Do you like comfortable chairs?
- I love comfortable chairs.
- Well, take a seat.
Take a seat, my friend.
And let me know your thoughts,
and you can be honest.
- Wow. There's some cushioning here.
- Yeah, right?
- Actually, it's kind of nice having this softness.
I don't know.
(laughs)
- You know-
- I heard this is the real test.
Does it do this?
- PewDiePie does that, actually.
I didn't do that, actually.
That's a good point.
- The things that gamers don't think about.
- And it's got RGB in the headrest.
- Does it?
- It does.
- Who asked for that?
(all laugh)
- It has good spin ability.
- Yeah, spin ability.
Try zipping around with the casters, too.
It's pretty smooth.
(laughs)
