I'm not worthy of the absolute power of this transforming scorpion cockpit
"Desk" just doesn't do it justice.
The Cluvens scorpion "cockpit" actually is motorized, transforming from a 'relaxed' incline to an upright desk. The keyboard tray slides into place in front of your lap (trapping you, incidentally). The arm, which can hold up to three 29" monitors (or a 49" ultrawide), folds down in front of you, enveloping your entire field of view. Cluvens announced this chair only a few days ago, but I honestly can't believe it hasn't somehow appeared in a movie about evil hackers already.
Cluvens knows the image it's projecting here, and the absurdity of its creation. Its website offers the assurance that "the Scorpion's claws look a little sharp, but they actually got rounded corners. So you don't have to worry about getting cut by the corners."
"The chair even comes with a massage and heating function so you can enjoy some quality time while you're making yourself look like the ultimate villain," the site says.
The Scorpion is made of "industrial grade carbon steel" and its electronics are covered by a two year warranty. It supports a weight of up to 276 pounds (124 kg), which is just slightly more than it weighs, itself. It costs $3,299 USD and comes in only one color: Black. And yes, of course, it has built-in color LEDs. This is the one true battlestation. Someone needs to play Crysis on it, stat.
