About this deal

It should be noted that this desk could be on the heavier side for some, and I would generally advise a two-person assembly to avoid any incidents or accidents when flipping the desk over or holding certain parts of it up while screwing down parts onto it. In total, the AndaSeat Mask 2 weighs around 27kgs / 59lbs in this state, so it's worth being careful and getting help if it's available.

The armrests are 4D, meaning that you can adjust their height, position, and rotation. This level of customization is intended to adapt the chair to its environment and aid in preventing wrist discomfort. To be frank, this desk is overpriced. It can hold a decent amount of weight, and the RGB LED lighting is fun, but you can easily find another desk of the same basic shape, size, and weight capacity for much cheaper. Still, it is a very sturdy desk and looks great, so at least you wouldn't be disappointed with the functionality.

We are fans of gaming chairs that recline an ostentatious amount. The Anda Seat Dark Demon can go from dead upright to 160-degree recline, so you’re almost lying flat. Bliss. The chair is coated with hard-wearing PVC leather which makes it resistant to scratching and spillage, and as such would make this a great option for kids. The pad tops are made of very high density foam, for just a little bit of “give”, and the kinds of adjustment here are what you’ll find on some of the most expensive office chairs. The whole seat tilt issue is one of cost. But there’s a more fundamental design niggle in the Anda Seat Dark Demon too.

It’s impressive what a difference a few small changes to design can make. The biggest improvement for use has to be in the seatbase. The absence of metal bolsters completely erased the little nagging sensation that could turn into a sore spot at the sides of my legs after extensive hours in other gaming seats, including AndaSeat’s own. In the Kaiser 3, I can work and play for hours on end without getting any tender spots like this in my legs. Anda Seat says this chair is designed for people up to 6 feet 5.6 inches tall (200cm), but you need to be well under six foot to fully appreciate the Dark Demon. Attach the lumbar support and the usable seat pan depth is significantly reduced. It makes taller people feel as if they’re perched towards the seat's edge. This is not something And a Seat has forgotten to put in, though. This higher grade of adjustability requires a more complicated, no doubt more expensive, base.

Looks aside, it's a fairly straightforward affair that you would expect from a computer desk. There's an emphasis on practicality above everything else; two holes for running cables through sit on either side exactly where you would need them. In terms of what it's like to use, however, I found that I had more than enough space for a large Razer keyboard (complete with a wrist rest) as well as a mega-sized RGB mouse mat with stereo speakers on either side of my monitor. I never felt cramped or boxed in, and could have had a multi-monitor setup, and even my Razer Blade laptop ready for use as well.

There's no mistaking the AndaSeat Mask 2 for any other gaming desk on the market right now. The tabletop is adorned in a carbon fiber wrap around which not only looks great but provides a non-slip surface for my monitor, mouse mat, keyboard, and other peripherals which was a nice change of pace from the varnished wood and tempered glass I've used in the past. However, the gas lift is a little weak, meaning you need to take your entire weight off the seat before it will rise. Such gas lifts can lose their power over time too (we’re talking years here), and this isn't a great starting point. It has a “class 4” pneumatic lift, which offers 5.5cm of lift. This should be enough for all but the tallest of people, who probably shouldn’t but this chair for other reasons anyway.

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. 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. This is in line with the Titan Evo 2022, though a far cry from the E-Win Flash XL’s 550-pound limit.

The Mask 2 gaming desk is good but not great. Much like with AndaSeat's T-Compact gaming chair, the company has delivered a competent product that fulfills its base promises to consumers but does so at a cost that's too high for what's being presented. The fundamentals are all here, and the item is solid — now it's time for AndaSeat to iterate and present something truly outstanding. This may not be the best style for breathability, but it is for maintenance. You can give fake leather a wipe down, no problem. Comfier, breathable velour-type fabrics may be less easy to keep in shape. These changes can be made by pushing a button on the inside of each rest. You can also recline the AndaSeat Spider-Man chair between 90°-160° safely with the knowledge that your weight will be supported, making this suitable for anyone that needs to rest at their desk. If you're someone that relies upon detailed diagrams and clear instructions then this desk may not be for you. Despite this, while the guidance left a lot to be desired, the components are all numbered (both in the pictures and on the bags themselves) so it isn't too mentally taxing to put two and two together. 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. 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).
