Even here the Kaiser 3 is like the Titan Evo, as the seatback has an alignment rail to help get it aligned with the attachment arm. The armrests come pre-attached, saving a bit of time. The tilting seatbase has to be bolted onto the bottom of the seat, and the seatback needs bolting to the seatbase. The wheels, wheelbase, and piston have to be slotted into one another. The assembly process for the Kaiser 3 is about as straightforward as it gets for gaming chairs that don’t simply come pre-assembled. This is in line with the Titan Evo 2022, though a far cry from the E-Win Flash XL’s 550-pound limit. Both models feature a heavy-duty Class-4 gas lift to hold up plenty of weight, though the large is only recommended for weights up to 260 pounds while the XL can support up to 395 pounds. With a large seat that’s 20.2x 19.6 inches and an XL seat that’s 20.6 x 22.4 inches, the Kaiser provides spacious seating at either size, making it a viable big-and-tall gaming chair option. It’s liable to get dirtier easier, but the heathered Ash Gray of the model I tested hides blemishes well. The chair comes with either a PVC leather finish like you’ll find on many gaming chairs, or a linen fabric finish that’s quite comfortable. Its 2.7-inch height adjustment range is decent, though not impressive, but the extensive height adjustment of the armrests helps make up for that.

Namely, it can recline a good way back, down to 165 degrees, and the seatbase rocks, letting it go even further back. The Kaiser 3 has some of the other gaming chair goodies I expect at this price. Unfortunately, the armrests on the Kaiser 3 and Titan Evo 2022 don’t appear to be identical enough to be interchangeable, as their pivot adjustment buttons are different shapes (the only notable difference I can see). Removing the toppers of the armrests might not make a lot of sense, but AndaSeat says it has a lapboard-style attachment coming in the next couple months. Then there are the 4D armrests that are just like every other 4D armrest out there, except with slightly softer toppers that can pop off with magnets again.

The headrest also gets an upgrade with a plush, memory foam pillow that snaps on with magnets and a wide range of height adjustment. It’s not the most transparent design for a lumbar system, as it’s hard to see anything going on within the fabric of the chair, but it’s effective and almost exactly what’s found on the Titan Evo 2022 and similar to the system in the DXRacer Master Module.

One raises or lowers the lumbar support, and the other increases or decreases its bulge.

Inside the backrest, the Kaiser 3 has an adjustable lumbar support that’s controlled with a dial on either side of the chair. There are still two big holes through that might have previously been used by lumbar pillow straps, but AndaSeat has updated its ergonomics as well. It’s still packing a curvy backrest that swoops in at either side of the torso and pushes forward in the shoulder for an impossible-to-AFK posture. The lack of bolsters on the seat doesn't make this any less of a gaming chair though. Even though the chair has two side lips, they’re packed with cushioning that makes for a comfortable space to sit. Ultimately, both versions benefit from a more spacious seating area thanks to a flatter design that does away with the pointless bolsters at each side. The AndaSeat Kaiser 3 is a throne in its XL size, which is a little larger in the seat than the standard large.
