Today we’re going to be finding the best gaming chair for HOTAS. This should be easy enough because pretty much any gaming chair can be used with a HOTAS, provided that there are no flip-out leg rests or other extras getting in the way.
But first, what is a HOTAS? Well, dear reader, worry not as we’ll explain. HOTAS stands for Hands-on stick and throttle. Essentially it’s a joystick and throttle body controller like you’d find in a fighter jet or spaceship.
Luckily, most HOTAS controllers clamp securely to any given desk, like racing wheels, so we can go with traditional gaming chairs here.

Second-best gaming chair for HOTAS: noblechairs EPIC
We’ve established that consumer-level HOTAS controllers don’t require any special considerations, so we’ve decided to just choose our second favorite here.

The noblechairs EPIC, specifically the copper edition might not be our top choice overall, but its definitely our favorite-looking gaming chair.
