Quick Summary
When compared to the Razer Enki X, the Razer Enki offers more color variations and more adjustable armrest angles. The Enki is also the only one out of these gaming chairs to come with an adjustable headrest.
On the other hand, the Enki X uses a steel base as opposed to the aluminum base used by the Enki.
While both chairs support the same body weight, the Enki supports taller individuals of up to 6 feet and 8.32 inches. In comparison, the X version supports up to 6 feet 4.38 inches.
