Quick question, what is the different between EX, EX Wide and Opal. I'm asking because I'm undecided to either get AKRacing or RapidX Ferrino. I'm not a PC gamer but a console player and I need something that is comfortable and laid back. I know PC gamers needs to be more stiff up while being against the desk, keyboard and mouse. Console gamers in general are more laid back, I know I am. So I want to know which chairs are better and one that I could put one of my legs on the chair and still be comfortable in it.
Also I'm 5'9 and 230 pounds, which one would be better for me? Any help would be great and thanks so much.

squadI think the EX Wide would be good for you. The EX and EX wide are identical except the wide is wider :) by about 1.6 inches Especially with true racing style chairs, you have the hard side bolsters so the extra room is good but you still have the support the bolsters provide. The Opal is the same as the EX wide except for a completely flat seat, so if you like to fold you leg up on the chair that might be better. I don't comment on the competition (unless maybe they've commented on us) so I'll let the other brand talk up their chair.
AKRacing is the one company that defines the minimum standards for performance racing style chairs. We started in 2001 building real seats for real performance cars: - Ergonomic design with head and lumbar pillows for adjustable support - Highest grade upholstery materials for comfort and durability - Steel frame for extended life - High-density cold cured foam for long-lasting enjoyment - 180 degree recline with variable tension rocking function for personalized seating position - 3D or 4D armrests to set to your preference - 330 lbs weight capacity to fit a wide range of body types - 5/10 year warranty on parts/frame for peace of mind

AKRacingAmericaSounds great and last question. I think I would enjoy the Opal since I love to fold my leg up at times. Question is, how soft is the Opal series. It hurts awhile when using a cheap 120 dollar fake leather chair from staples and it hurts after 1-2 hours of sitting time. Is the bottom part comfortable after many hours? Trying to look up reviews for this chair but can't find anything out there.

squadIt's a nice soft and breathable fabric. It's a new chair so there won't be much in review but the basic fabric is the same in last year's K7 series
