Between playing games, writing about games, and general work, I find myself sitting quite a bit, so I am always on the lookout for the best place to sit my butt. When Autofull, the gaming chair manufacturer and Gamescom 2026’s official gaming chair partner, reached out asking if I wanted to check out their new M6 Ultra 2.0 gaming chair, I graciously accepted.
Now, after spending some time with this black and gold throne, this may be the nicest seat my butt will ever sit in.

The M6 Ultra 2.0 features all of the usual features one would expect out of a slick gaming chair – nice range of reclining options, comfy headrest, and adjustable armrests. What really elevates this gaming seat experience, though, are the back massage and heating/cooling features.
Things that I associate more with riding around in my car than lounging at my desk grinding for levels in Final Fantasy. All of those handy amenities are powered by a single USB cable that can be plugged into your PC tower or a wall outlet, and stored in a rear pocket.
The review chair I got features a vibration-style massage, but if you have the extra money to burn, the highest tier of the M6 chair, the Ultra+ 2.0, features a shiatsu massage you can enjoy. I’ve been a big fan (pun intended) of the cooling fan feature during the recent months of heat and humidity, and the heating aspect also seems to do a fine enough job, and I am excited to put it through its paces come wintertime.
Being the official gaming chair of various gaming tournaments and pro esports teams, it should come as little surprise that actually sitting in the chair feels damn good. As a larger guy, both from a height and belly standpoint, the M6 is sturdy, and the lumbar support is solid.
The materials that Autofull has used, from the ultra-soft leather on its cushions and the bright metal chrome on the armrests (that picks up toddler fingerprints like no other), really help sell the premium nature of this chair. It even addresses my biggest critique of the Razer Iskur V2 I reviewed earlier this year, with the M6 featuring an adjustable and CONNECTED headrest.
No having to deal with an awkwardly rotated cushion here! A quality I especially appreciate when leaning back and using the chair’s deployable leg rest. As someone who rather enjoys taking naps, I can attest that this is a pretty solid napping chair.
All that being said, with the wealth of features to tinker with, I did find the M6 had a bit of an adjustment period before I found peak comfort. The back lumbar support moves on a ratcheting pivot that took some time to get used to (and figure out), and working that out, along with finding my preferred seat-back angle and armrest positions, required trial and error.
When all was said and done, however, the M6 didn’t feel like any computer chair; it felt like MY computer chair. As I said earlier, as someone who spends a lot of time working on a computer, having it dialed in just how I want it has gone a long way toward making those late nights of writing or working on a review noticeably more comfortable.
Autofull’s M6 Ultra 2.0 Gaming Chair takes a little adjustment, but it pays off.
That comfort and all those features come with a hefty price tag. The M6 Ultra 2.0 has an MSRP of $899.99, with an upgraded Ultra+ model at $999.99; the main difference is swapping the vibration massage for a full-blown Shiatsu massage system. While it’s a really nice chair, the price point keeps it from being one I can really recommend to my friends or point the general gamer or consumer toward, especially nowadays when living has gotten so expensive.
But even with its premium price tag, that doesn’t mean I don’t have some issues with this gilded throne, however. My biggest issue, or perhaps “shortest” issue, with the chair comes from the USB cable used to power things like the M6’s massage and temperature-control perks. The cable, which is composed of two parts, is only about 5’ (about 1.5 meters) long.
Considering this is a rolling, swiveling chair, it gives next to no room to move while it’s plugged in. And a minor annoyance on the topic of plugging in the M6: for such a high price tag, it’s wild to me that Autofull doesn’t include even a simple USB-to-wall plug adapter. Thankfully, the cable itself is nothing overly special, and just a USB-A and not something proprietary, making it easy and rather cheap to just upgrade to a longer cable (such as this 20’ one on Amazon)
Everything about Autofull’s M6 Ultra 2.0 gaming chair, from its materials, its construction, and that price, puts it firmly in the luxury market, tailored for the most hardcore and serious crowd of gamers out there. It delivers features that have genuinely improved my day-to-day comfort while working, and isn’t just a host of gimmicks that look good on a box. I never would have thought about having a seat warmer or cooler with my gaming chair, but I have to say it’s pretty damn nice to have. With its gold accents and sleek black leather, it both looks and feels luxurious, and I feel pretty damn fancy sitting on it.
