Should I swap my racer chair for a proper office chair?

Yeah, racer chairs are like gaming keyboards. Flashy, can be solid to some degree but a proper keyboard is a proper keyboard. Same goes for all accessories.

Buy a chair for 24/7 operators and you won't regret it. Mine is still like new even after years of daily use.

Who ever thought to sit on a right angle wooden seat is beyond me. Adding some padding here and there doesn't help. I recommend putting 2" blocks under the front of your racing seat to tip it back a bit more, and make sure your feet have a few places to relax.

I'd recommend you to go to a specialized shop for that and don't buy the first IKEA chair you see. Nothing wrong with IKEA, but I'd say in your case you need a really good chair.

To add to what the rest of the comments have said, I would also suggest looking into a sit/stand setup.

The idea is that you sit when you feel like sitting and stand when you feel like standing. Alternate throughout the day so that you're not always sitting and not always standing. That way you're not sitting for excessive periods of time.

Dont buy the cheapest chair you can, buy the one that makes your back not hurt.

A DxRacer isn't toooo bad, but for the same price (which is already 200, 250) you can find much better.

I obviously recommend the Herman Miller Aeron, it's what most sound engineers use because you can spend your whole days in it without getting hurt. It's not comfortable, but you never feel sore either. Like, never. Not cheap though, a new one is 1500 and a used one about 500...

Herman Miller Aeron Chair... best chair I ever sat in. Early in my career I comment how nice our chairs where and someone quipped "should be its like a grand." One day I was sitting there working for 14 hours and I was still comfortable and I thought "this is why my firm provides me this chair. So I can work long hours in comfort and not stop working." I bought my own and for my house.

Buy the best chair you can afford. Worth every penny.
