Cooler Master ORB-X and DYN-X Detailed: Step Aside Tables and Chairs, Purpose-built Gaming Furniture is Here

btarunr · Jan 11, 2023

Cooler Master thinks that the gaming furniture should just be tables, desks, or chairs with certain gamer-specific functions or comforts, but entirely purpose-built rigs that work to improve immersion. The company over 2022-23 has been on a mission to bridge the gap between the conventional desktop, and a pro-grade simulator, with the 2022 announcement of the ORB-X, and the 2023 unveiling of the DYN-X. The ORB-X is a specialty gaming furniture that combines a desk and seat. You're supposed to install a curved gaming monitor on its top armature that envelopes you when you're seated; while a tray slides out with your input devices. The whole setup barely takes more space in your room than a payphone booth would, but promises hours upon hours of uninterrupted gameplay as you feel like Giger's Space Jockey. The DYN-X is a set of rigging for a DIY race simulator. The first portion of it is a set of stands that can hold on to three curved gaming monitors that you can span a single display-head across, for an immersive motorsport or flight simulator experience. The second portion of it is a race-sim "rollcage" that features race sim input devices.

That Fanatec setup is beyond awesome. The other "2001: A Space Odyssey" thing is just meh.

I've seen that ORB thing in pictures before and thought it was stupid before, but, seeing now that it actually LIGHTS UP, I can't stop laughing! :roll:

Oh, a payphone booth, that's certainly not obnoxiously large in the living or attic.

I will join Gmr_Chick in the endless laughter

No bidet, soda dispenser and pleasuring device? Whoever designed this doesn't know gamers.

Sigh, what are these knuckleheads thinking?

Lianna · Jan 12, 2023

If your goal is triple monitor simulation, shouldn't they have flat screens?
Or is there a racing/flying sim software with correction for curved screens to show straight lines as straight?

Racing setup is absolutely amazing. The other thing is just ridiculous. Unless you've a massive room to put about 6 in and then have some LAN fun.
