gaming chair industry, but we have already made great strides to
bring ergonomics, comfort, and style to the gaming chair market. We

their gaming experiences. Haptic technology is undeniably the
future of gaming and working with a company respected and
experienced in developing haptic technology as well as D-BOX is an
obvious choice for us. We hope to deliver a gaming chair that will
