The latest gaming chair released by Razer is the Enki Pro. So, how does the new release compare to the normal Enki?
You can find out in this comparison article from Seeking Tech.
Quick Summary
Unlike the Razer Enki, the Razer Enki Pro offers an Alcantara EPU synthetic leather cover, double-cushioned backrest and magnetic-based memory foam head cushion.
The Alcantara should offer a more premium and stain-resistance cover while the double-cushioned backrest will add more support and comfort for your back. The magnetic memory foam head cushion would be less likely to be displaced when compared to the strap-based head cushion on the Enki.
If these features benefit you, then the pro version is the better choice out of these two gaming chairs.
If you don’t mind missing out on the aforementioned advantages, then the Razer Enki otherwise offers the same features as the Razer Enki Pro, only at a much more affordable price point.
