Replace the caster wheels if your Razer gaming chair gets stuck or becomes rigid whenever you try to roll it. Replace the gas lift cylinder if the chair sinks every time you sit on it or you can no longer adjust the height.
Important: Put the chair over a smooth work surface to protect it from scratches and any other types of damage during the process.
