An upgraded version of Cooler Master’s R1 gaming chair is one of the first new products that interested Luke. The Cooler Master R2 features a racing seat appearance with raised seat bolsters and a lumbar supporting backrest cushion priced at $299.

The Cooler Master Ergo L is an ergonomic chair designed more for professionals who spend long periods at the desk working. The back of the Ergo L is constructed from a beefy looking aluminium style frame with a polished finish and supportive sprung backrest.

Luke was rather surprised to see Cooler Master has moved into gaming monitors now, the Cooler Master GM34 features a 34-inch curved ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio VA panel. The GM34 is equipped with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms pixel response time, so should provide a smooth gaming experience with AMD FreeSync 2 support included and HDR 400.

The Cooler Master GM27 will be priced at $299 at launch and will be 165Hz monitor with a 1ms response time supporting AMD FreeSync technology but no HDR.
