Blacklyte Kraken review

A photo of the Blacklyte Kraken gaming chair.

With the gaming chair market being somewhat saturated with plush perches, all looking very similar, it's hard for any company to stand out from the competition. Secretlab achieves this by making its chairs out of quality materials, to a high standard, and at a reasonable price. For the past few weeks, I've been using a Blacklyte Kraken gaming chair to see if the same holds for the Canada-based company.

At first glance, the Kraken gives off a distinct Titan Evo vibe but it's different enough to not be a direct clone. There is clear evidence of some strong influences in the design but the main reason why I'm using Secretlab as a reference is the Kraken's price. Blacklyte wants $519 for its chair, which also just so happens to be the same amount of money as a Titan Evo if one buys it directly from Secretlab.
