For me, apparently a contrarian, a sturdy straight back chair with no arms
and a soft "butt cushion" is ideal. I need to maintain a straight back with
my chest close to the desk, in order to reduce distance to the radios
(SO2R) knobs as there is constant movement during a contest. Also, I use a
DX-Doubler unit and like to switch the audio streams manually with my left
hand. Yes, I know that the N2IC gurus do this with keys on the keyboards,
but my poor typing skills prohibit me from that. So my ideal chair is
extremely simple. To illustrate how simple it is (and apparently how simple
I am) my current chair is an old library carrel chair from the University
of Texas research library, a chair I got from an offer from UT that such
chairs were available.
Heading back into my luddite cave now,

Chairs are the kind of product that you really need to try out in person,
since everyone is built differently.
The more recent addition to my shack/office is a very tall keyboard table
on rollers, and a comfy standing mat. Takes about a minute to move them
in/out of the way when I want to stand.
It's not as good as the various solutions that let you simply raise/lower
keyboard and monitor, but it's a bit cheaper...and my monitor setup is
nonstandard anyway (three monitors -- second monitor to the side of the
primary, and third monitor above the primary).
