TechRadar Verdict
The Kaiser 3 Pro XL isn’t exactly a revolutionary new product.
The only significant difference now comes in the form of the inclusion of AndaSeat’s 5D armrests.
These are the same controversial rests found in theKaiser 4line and theX-Air Proas well.
That said, it’s not by any means a bad chair.
It’s not all armrests and daisies, however.
The build experience was a challenge.
It’s still far easier to piece together than the likes of the X-Air Pro.
Is it a contender for ourbest gaming chairslist?
Perhaps, perhaps not.
That’s quite a lot, for what effectively amounts to a different set of armrests.

Certainly in its PVC leather edition that I have on test.
It’s not just following industry trends like some of the other offerings and brands do out there.
No, the Kaiser 3 Pro is just exactly that.
It’s a bucket seat design; it’s got a touch of light orange thread running around it.
You feel more comfortable with stronger back muscles, and so forth.
And it’s true, it wasn’t.
In fact, it’s been tested for 5,000 abrasion cycles without breaking.
An abrasion cycle simply takes a piece of material and rubs it repeatedly against an abrasive surface.
Each cycle is marked as one, and the manufacturer measures how long that material will last.
The entire premise of this model, in fact.
The problem, though?
They’re huge, seriously wide.
The problem I had, however, was with the bolt threads themselves.
Two of them in particular were incredibly difficult to secure, try as I might.
Less than ideal, and hopefully a one-off, but a frustrating one nonetheless.
Shipping can be a harsh mistress at times.
