Product Strategy & Tech Marketing Advisor
Đào Đức Tiến — dTien87
I'm Đào Đức Tiến — known online as dTien87 or Tiến Sứt — with more than 20 years in Vietnam's PC hardware and gaming-gear industry. Eleven of those years were spent as Product Director at An Phát Computer, where I owned the strategy for components, gaming gear and simulation cockpits alike — that stretch is exactly why I'm qualified to advise you on a scorpion chair today, not just sell you one.

Why I advise on scorpion chairs
During my 11 years as Product Director at An Phát Computer, I owned the simulation-cockpit line directly — pricing, factory sourcing, deciding which models came into Vietnam. That's not something I read online; it was my job, every day, for over a decade.
Alongside that, I personally distributed sim-racing brands including Moza Racing, Thrustmaster, PXN, Obutto — gear that always ships together with a cockpit frame and a dedicated seat. Long sitting sessions, angle adjustments, bolting together metal frames — I've been doing that work since then.
A scorpion chair is the natural next step from those two areas — simulation cockpits and sim-racing gear. I'll say it plainly: this is commercial, I earn a margin when you buy through me. But the 20 years of experience is real, and I advise the same way I always have — if a model doesn't fit you, I say so instead of closing the sale.

Editorial principles
Every specification on this site comes from the manufacturer's published documentation. Where something is my own judgement from using the chair, it is written as judgement — never blended into the spec sheet.
Prices shown are manufacturer list in USD, excluding tax, freight to Vietnam and installation. I do not publish an invented VND price and then quote something different in chat.
If you spot anything inaccurate, message me on Zalo or by email — I will correct it and note the update date.
