TTRacing Maxx Pro Review: The Gaming Chair That Earned a Spot at My Desk

A gaming chair is one of those upgrades you don't fully appreciate until you've spent hours sitting in one. Whether you're working from home, editing videos, attending meetings, or jumping into a few gaming sessions after work, the chair you're using can make a huge difference.

The TTRacing Maxx Pro Series Gaming Chair is positioned as one of the company's premium offerings, designed for users who spend significant time at a desk. Using it daily for both work and entertainment quickly showed that this isn't just a gaming chair. It's more of an all-around workstation companion.

Unboxing and Assembly Experience

The TTRacing Maxx Pro - Crimson arrives in a massive cardboard box that gives you a good idea of how substantial this gaming chair is. Everything is packed securely, with thick protective materials surrounding each component to help prevent damage during shipping. The box itself weighs roughly 28 to 32 kg, so having another person assist with moving it is highly recommended.

Inside, all the major components are neatly organized and individually wrapped. Even though the chair arrives unassembled, the process doesn't feel overwhelming. TTRacing has already taken care of some of the more complicated steps.

The magnetic headrest is another thoughtful addition. Rather than dealing with straps or buckles, it simply attaches using strong magnets. The side brackets are also designed to line up easily with the backrest, helping reduce guesswork during installation.

Most users should be able to complete the assembly in around 30 to 40 minutes. All necessary tools are included in the package, so there's no need to prepare anything beforehand.

TTRacing also includes a printed instruction manual inside the box. The guide contains detailed 3D illustrations, a complete parts checklist, and safety information covering weight limits, tilt functions, and proper gas lift usage.

Assembly Challenges
Putting the Maxx Pro together is fairly straightforward, but there are a few minor challenges. Since the chair is designed to support up to 200 kg, some components, particularly the backrest and multi-tilt mechanism, are quite heavy and easier to handle with a second person.

Some screw holes may require a bit of adjustment as the tightly wrapped fabric can partially cover the mounting points. It's also important to start each bolt by hand before tightening to avoid cross-threading.

The included Allen key gets the job done, though tightening the larger bolts can take some effort. Once assembled, the chair feels sturdy, secure, and well put together for daily use.

Design and Build Quality

The TTRacing Maxx Pro - Crimson is designed for users who prefer a larger and more supportive chair. Compared to many gaming chairs on the market, it features a wider seat base, a taller backrest, and a more spacious overall structure. It is also built to support users weighing up to 200 kg, making it one of the most heavy-duty chairs in TTRacing's lineup.

Our review unit comes in the Crimson colorway, which combines deep black surfaces with bold crimson red accents. It has a strong gaming-inspired appearance, but the design remains clean enough to fit into a home office or content creation setup. The embroidered Venom eyes on the upper backrest, fish-scale textured stitching, and contrast red threadwork help give the chair its own personality without looking overly busy.

For those looking for a different style, the Maxx Pro series is available in several color options. The Hybrid Leatherette series includes Crimson, Obsidian, and Ivory. Meanwhile, the Air Threads Fabric lineup offers Dusk, Dawn, Blossom, and Canyon.

Material quality is one of the chair's strongest points. TTRacing uses a hybrid leatherette construction combined with plush velour contact panels. The leatherette sections are easy to clean, while the velour areas add a softer touch where your body makes contact with the chair.

The fish-scale embroidery found on the center sections of the chair is more than just a design element. The textured pattern creates small air gaps between your body and the surface of the chair, helping reduce heat buildup during longer sessions. The stitching itself is neatly executed, with reinforced double-stitched seams connecting the various material sections.

The open-ended seat base is one of my favorite parts of the chair. I tend to shift positions throughout the day, especially while working or writing longer articles. The wider seat gave me enough room to occasionally sit cross-legged without feeling cramped, something I couldn't comfortably do with most racing-style gaming chairs I've used. It's a small detail, but after spending hours at my desk, having the freedom to change positions without fighting the side bolsters made a bigger difference than I expected.

The magnetic headrest pillow is another standout feature. Rather than using elastic straps that often slide out of position, the pillow attaches magnetically and can be adjusted vertically in seconds.

The upholstery, stitching, armrests, and reclining mechanism have held up well throughout regular use. Everything continues to feel solid and well assembled, with no unusual noises or signs of premature wear.

Features

Adjustability is one of the Maxx Pro's stronger points. From the armrests and backrest to the headrest and seat height, it's easy to fine-tune the chair to match whatever you're doing, whether that's working, gaming, or simply leaning back to relax.

I found the 5D armrests easy to adjust, and it was easy to find a comfortable arm position. They do have a slight amount of movement if you intentionally wiggle them, likely due to the number of adjustment points, though I rarely noticed it.

The chair also features a 135-degree reclining backrest paired with a 120-degree multi-tilt mechanism. I usually kept the backrest upright while working, but having the option to recline came in handy whenever I wanted to take a short break or watch a few videos without leaving my desk.

The seat uses moulded cold-cure foam, and it leans more toward support than softness. It felt a little firm at first, but after spending longer hours in the chair, I came to appreciate the extra support. Even after extended use, the cushion held its shape well and never felt like it was flattening out.

This chair uses an SGS-certified Class 4 gas lift for height adjustment. Raising or lowering the chair felt smooth, and once I found a comfortable height, I rarely needed to adjust it again.

For mobility, it uses 65mm XL locking casters. The oversized wheels rolled smoothly across different floor surfaces, making it easy to move the chair around my workspace. The locking feature was also useful whenever I wanted the chair to stay in place.

The wheel locks worked as intended, although they required a bit more force than I expected. Engaging or disengaging them using bare feet took some effort, so I often found it easier to use my hands instead.

The extendable leg rest ended up being one of those features I used more often than expected. Every now and then, I'd extend it, lean back, close my eyes for a few minutes, and listen to some relaxing music before getting back to work. There were even a few times when I ended up taking a quick power nap. It's not a feature I used every day, but it was nice to have whenever I wanted to take a short break without leaving my desk.

The Crimson edition combines hybrid leatherette with plush velour contact panels, and I found it more comfortable than fully leatherette gaming chairs I've used in the past. The velour sections helped reduce heat buildup during longer sessions, particularly around the back and seat where you spend the most time in contact with the chair.

The only issue some users may run into is its overall size. It offers a spacious seat and large overall footprint, which is great for comfort, but it can take up a significant amount of space. If you're planning to buy one, it's worth measuring your available space first, especially if your desk setup is on the smaller side.

Comfort

Comfort is one of the areas where the TTRacing Maxx Pro series performs well. After using it for several days, I noticed I wasn't constantly readjusting my seating position or looking for a more comfortable way to sit.

The overall seating experience feels supportive without being restrictive. Unlike some gaming chairs that encourage a fixed sitting posture, this seat gave me enough room to sit naturally and change positions throughout the day without feeling restricted.

Long work sessions were generally comfortable, even on days that stretched well beyond regular office hours. Even after spending several hours at my desk, I never felt the need to get up simply because the chair had become uncomfortable.

The seating experience leans more toward support than softness. Users who prefer deeply cushioned office chairs may find the seat firmer than expected during the first few days of use. Personally, I found the firmness beneficial during longer work sessions, as it provided consistent support throughout the day rather than the sinking feeling that softer cushions can develop over time.

Another aspect I enjoyed was how well the chair transitioned between productivity and entertainment. It never felt like a chair designed exclusively for gaming. During the day it functioned well as a workstation chair, and later in the evening it was equally comfortable for watching videos, browsing social media, or enjoying a few gaming sessions.

Overall, I found the Maxx Pro comfortable enough to use as my main chair every day. While the seat leans more toward the firm side, it remained supportive during longer sessions and never became uncomfortable over time.

Daily Use

I used the TTRacing Maxx Pro as my main chair throughout this review, giving me enough time to get beyond first impressions and see how it held up in everyday use. One thing I noticed after the first few days was that I rarely needed to make major adjustments once I had everything set the way I liked it. 

Aside from occasionally changing the recline angle or repositioning the armrests, I generally left the chair as it was. The wider seat also became more noticeable over time. It gave me enough room to change sitting positions naturally without feeling restricted, especially during longer periods at my desk.

After using the chair daily, the upholstery, stitching, and adjustment mechanisms continued to feel solid. The recline mechanism remained smooth, the armrests stayed secure after repeated adjustments, and I didn't notice any unusual squeaks or looseness developing during the review period.

By the end of the review, the Maxx Pro had settled into being my everyday chair. While it's clearly designed with gamers in mind, I found it just as practical for general desk use, making it easy to recommend for anyone who spends a lot of time at their desk.

"The TTRacing Maxx Pro series isn't defined by a single standout feature. It's the combination of its space, adjustability, and everyday usability that leaves the strongest impression."

Verdict

After spending time with the TTRacing Maxx Pro series - Crimson, I came away with a positive impression. It delivers a well-rounded experience, with thoughtful features and a sturdy design that held up well throughout the review period.

There are a few things prospective buyers should keep in mind. Its larger footprint means it may not be the best fit for compact setups, the seat has a firmer feel than some users may prefer, and the velour sections require occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best.

Priced at ₱23,999, it's a purchase that deserves some consideration rather than an impulse buy. If your priority is a chair with plenty of room, extensive adjustability, and a sturdy overall design, the TTRacing Maxx Pro series is worth adding to your shortlist.
