Acer just unveiled the 2020 Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM, designed for professional gamers and eSports enthusiasts!
Let’s take our first look at the new Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM, and its key features and specifications!
Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM : Have A Massage While You Game!
The 2020 Acer Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM is an ergonomic gaming chair with built-in OSIM massage features, so you can enjoy a relaxing massage while you game!
OSIM V-Hand Massage Technology
The built-in OSIM V-Hand Massage Technology emulates the agile hands of a professional masseuse on your neck and shoulders.
Together with other massage techniques such as knead, press, roll and tap that cover the entire back, the 2020 Acer Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM gaming chair promises to decrease tension and optimise physical comfort during or after gameplay.
You can use the buttons on the right arm rest to control two sets of rollers that mimic a pair of agile hands tracing the curve of your spine.
Three automatic massage programs (Neck & Shoulders, Lumbar and Energize) are available, designed by a massage expert to target the neck, shoulder and lumbar regions — all common pain points for gamers due to prolonged periods spent sitting.
Adjustable Ergonomics
The 2020 Acer Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM gaming chair is highly adjustable, with a recline of up to 145 degrees.
You can adjust the chair’s rollers to suit six different shoulder positions for different heights, as well as the roller width to massage exactly the right spot, regardless of your body width.
Sporty + Professional Look
The 2020 Acer Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM gaming chair is covered in PVC leather, with a black carbon fibre pattern and metallic dark grey and teal accents.
Built-In Bluetooth Speakers
For a more immersive gaming experience, you can connect your gaming computer to its two built-in Bluetooth speakers.
Located directly in the headrest, the two Bluetooth speakers will deliver dynamic sound effects, letting you enjoy your games without a headset!

Tech ARP is now 20 years old! To celebrate, we partnered up with many of the world’s TOP BRANDS to thank you all for your loyal support with a TWENTY-WEEK GIVEAWAY! 😲 😲 😲
Tech ARP Is 20 Years Old & Going Strong!
Time sure FLIES when you are having fun! Twenty years ago, Ken, Chai and I got together to rebrand Adrian’s Rojak Pot as Tech ARP. We were having trouble explaining what rojak was, and that pot did not refer to marijuana / cannabis! 😂😂😂
That was in the good old days of sawing off pipe end caps to turn into CPU water coolers, and modifying SLAB (sealed lead acid batteries) into the world’s first power bank for our PDAs (remember those?).
Those sure were CRAZY DAYS! 😂😂😂
Somehow, we worked our way to the forefront of motherboard technology with our seminal BIOS Optimization Guide, which later got published as Breaking Through The BIOS Barrier : The Definitive BIOS Optimization Guide for PCs.
I don’t know how I did it, but somehow, we did all those crazy stuff while I was still in medical school! CRAZY days indeed!
Over the years, we moved from strength to strength, with Ken hand-developing our own backend, and Chai nurturing our budding forums.
Somehow, we persevered and by the miracle of surviving the passage of time, Tech ARP is Malaysia’s oldest tech website!
Today, we are still pretty much the same team, with Falcone, Dashken, Carolyn, Hui Xin, Alyssa, Kar Hoe and Brian Chong helping us out here and there. Thank you, guys!
The Tech ARP 20-Week Giveaway
To thank you all for sharing our crazy journey over the years, we have prepared a 20-week giveaway contest. Actually, a series of twenty weekly giveaway contests.

May 11, 2016 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — Ultimate Ears continues to transform the way people experience music, together, out in the world. Today Ultimate Ears announces UE ROLL, a powerful pint-sized wireless Bluetooth speaker that is ready for whatever, wherever, whenever. You haven’t heard anything yet.
UE ROLL blasts unapologetically awesome 360-degree sound that is loud and crisp with deep bass that busts out incredible beats. On top of its insane sound, the design of UE ROLL carries the essence of the original UE BOOM and is made to be part of your ultra-mobile lifestyle.
Whether you fasten it to your swimsuit using its one of a kind attach-and-go bungee cord, or hook it to your hiking gear while you backpack, UE ROLL connects to you, your friends and your music. It is waterproof (IPX7 certified) and life-resistant, forged from the toughest, most premium materials, so you can dunk it, drop it or toss it anywhere.
“Music is made for sharing, connecting and enjoying,” said KP Sim, Logitech Country Manager of Malaysia, Philippines and Brunei. “It transforms moments into something special, and we designed UE ROLL to be part of those moments. No matter where you are, or what you’re doing, UE ROLL is there to amplify any experience.”
In addition to its epic sound and adventurous, go-everywhere build, UE ROLL continuously gets better over time, just like UE BOOM. Through the UE ROLL app for iOS and Android, you can wake up to your favorite music, remotely turn the speaker on, and even double the sound by pairing it with any other Ultimate Ears speaker. New updates are sent to UE speakers wirelessly through the app, so you can easily continue to expand features, making each speaker even more awesome with time.

UE ROLL is available at all local resellers in Malaysia for a suggested retail price of RM 399 / ~US$ 105 from MCL and Bluelogic.
