Hey Keltarrant – I can absolutely make a recommendation for you although I should preface it with some of my thoughts on ergonomics. Remember that ergonomics is essentially the optimization of our environment which attempts to place our joints and subsequently muscles/tendons at the most neutral (stress-minimum) positions and no matter how much we change our environment, if we don’t assume the proper posture within this environment, we are unable to reap the benefits.

Aka your lifestyle, taking breaks and your understanding of posture has a significantly larger effect on your health than ergonomics do.

Anyways: I am not a proponent of any specific chair (despite the Dxracers being primarily used by the players) and I currently use a non-arm rest chair like this one https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-GF-60044-Low-Back-Task-Chair/dp/B00XBC3J84/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1473278420&sr=8-5&keywords=amazon+chair because of my table setup.

Arm rests are not necessary if you have enough desk space which allows neutral positioning of your elbows. So much of this is up to your preference. I guess basic tips would be
1. Decent lumbar support
2. Nice seat cushion
3. arm-rest depending on whether your desk-space will allow for it.

Some other food for thought:
I think I may have an unpopular opinion about ergonomics and chairs. While I think ergonomics is great and that can contribute greatly to the health of the community, it should not be the major focus of how we should approach health management.

Despite changing our environment and the huge focus of this in the regular working population, the prevalence of injuries is not significantly affected. This means there’s a larger underlying issue that should be addressed – which is the lifestyle (taking breaks) and understanding of proper posture.

I have too much to say about this, I’ll likely write an article soon 🙂
