I'm going to get two gaming chairs for the living room --- and am wondering whether or not to get it with armrests of not
My mind thinks that having an amrest might be helpful - supports the arm so that the hand and wrist are less stressed and at a better angle. What do you think? google gaming chairs and you'll see what the choices are....
Thanks in advance for your input,
francine

YES! Get ones with an armrest. Even typing on my laptop, playing with my iPod or DS I need something under my arm/elbow to rest my OBPI arm.

thanks Marieke! ok -- I will order them --- that's going to be her Chanuka present (sssshhhh)
she wants the kind that plugs in so that the sound comes through directly to your ears and the chair vibrates, etc.
about putting up her hair ---- that would be great if you could help maia with that
