Cougar has announced several new gaming chairs at Computex 2023. Perhaps the most interesting new gaming furniture revealed is called Cougar NxSys Aero which integrates a 200mm aRGB cooling fan. Before we go any further, it’s important to clarify that the NxSys Aero’s cooling is directed towards the back. So people with heat stroke probably need relief elsewhere.
It’s starting to get really hot in the northern hemisphere, so devices that cool you are starting to look just as attractive as those that cool your PC. In addition, the chair’s cooling keeps users “comfortable and focused for hours,” Couger said.
Like the 200mm aRGB fan section on the back of the chair called “Cold Fusion,” Cougar has implemented several complementary technologies to keep your back cool and comfortable during the hottest PC gaming sessions. The ‘Air Bender’ system claims to provide adaptive cushioning using hollow spaces of elastomeric mesh and a breathable back cover. According to the description, the “air bender” creates a cushion of air between the back and the backrest material. This sounds very special, but it can easily become too cold or uncomfortable. Some third-party testing is required to verify this functionality.
Cougar’s NxSys Aero chair also has built-in lighting and fan controllers. This is a good choice for those who prefer the immediacy and simplicity of an app-free device. Specifically, users can adjust both fan speed and aRGB lighting intensity via convenient built-in controls, Couger said.
Last but not least, Cougar offers what they call a physical therapy-grade lumbar pillow with NxSys Aero. An ergonomically adjustable magnetic neck cushion is also included with the chair.
At the time of writing, there is no pricing and availability information for the Cougar NxSys Aero Chair. Please wait for further information such as release information.
This isn’t the first chair with a built-in fan. Last year he reviewed his $999 Mavix M9 in August. However, this chair doesn’t come standard with fans, so you’ll have to pay an extra $130 to purchase attachments that plug into the lumbar support to add heating, cooling fans, and a vibrating massager.
Cougar currently has no gaming chairs in the Best Gaming Chairs 2023 category. Perhaps the aRGB fan-cooled NxSys Aero has what it takes to step up the ranks, but we’ll have to wait until we have a review sample to judge that.
Computex’s other Cougar products include the Hotrod and Armor EVO chairs (pictured above), and the Panzer 800 full-tower PC case.
