I’m about to sit down in the Secretlab Titan Evo NanoGen Edition for the first time. I’ve just spent around a month in the brand’s regular SoftWeave version, testing its ergonomic recliner add-on, and after talks with its creators about how I prefer a softer seat to a firmer one, they’ve got me really excited for the new model. The NanoGen Edition promises to be a more plush, comfortable approach to one of the most popular gaming chairs of all time, and as someone who’s never really been the Titan Evo's biggest fan, I’m ready to be convinced.
As I swivel it around and fall into it though, my rear end is greeted by a firm landing I know all too well. The new foam and leatherette combination has definitely done a better job of catching me, but it’s still not as soft as some of the other best gaming chair contenders I’ve tried.
