Introduction

We would like to thank Gamdias for supplying the review sample.



Over fifty different epithets are known to describe Zeus, also "Dias" in Greek, the king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus. Compounding is when you combine two words (free morphemes) to create a new one. This process is also a form of composition, of "putting together". So, "Gamdias" is actually a composition of the words "game" and "Dias" and means "the king of gaming". With such a strong name, Gamdias has set three main values as the foundation for its products: reliability, style, and perfection. Since 2012, the company has entered almost every peripheral and hardware category, including input peripherals, power supplies, cases, gaming chairs, etc.

The Achilles, a Gamdias gaming chair, will be the main subject of today's review. We have had the opportunity to review many chairs from different companies, but the Achilles is going to be the first with RGB lighting. It can also support a body weight of up to 200 kg (440 lb) and has an embedded, adjustable footrest, among other features. It costs $399.99 and belongs to the P1-L series, and its design reminds us of the bucket seats used in sports cars. This chair uses high density mold shaping foam covered in a leather-style vinyl upholstery that meets the TB117 standard, which means it is fire resistant. Also, its armrests are 4D and wide.

Since this is the first RGB chair we are reviewing, we look forward to connecting a power bank to its USB port to try out the RGB lighting.

Packaging

Every package such a chair comes in is huge, as is this one. The package weighs 33.11 kg (73 lb) and is 88 cm x 68 cm x 38 cm (36.65" x 26.77" x 15") large. All around the package are the company name and logo, along with bits of information about the chair and brand. What is stressed most of all, however, is that the Achilles is equipped with RGB lighting just like a lot of PC peripherals nowadays. RGB lighting is everywhere in PC parts now, and the question on hand is when users will start feeling tired and bored of it.
