Massdrop x AKRacing Rosso Gaming Chair

Chief Product Officer

Oct 10, 2018

Hey Friends, Welcome to the Pre-Launch page for the Massdrop x AKRacing Rosso gaming chair! This is very similar to the Aero gaming chair, more information on that here:
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-akracing-aero-gaming-chair/talk/1883498 We’ve got all the same mechanisms and features on the Rosso with one subtle change based on feedback around the Aero. Perforated lcantara is great for breathability and comfort, but it can be a challenge to clean. Where you can wipe crumbs/drinks off the synthetic leather with ease, the alcantara absorbs liquid and crumbs can get stuck in the perforations. In an effort to improve longevity without sacrificing comfort, we opted to change this panel:

From alcantara to synthetic leather (the material of the surrounding panels). You can see it in the pictures on the Rosso page. In the feedback we saw, folks didn’t find this strip to have a big impact on comfort, but it occupies the highest potential spillage area (I need a better word for this, suggestions?). Aside from this change for easier cleaning, and the new red colorway, nothing else has changed from the Aero to the Rosso. Thanks for your continued interest and support for our collaborations! Let us know your thoughts in the discussion, that’s how we make better stuff.
