Corsair is a household name when it⛄ comes to PC components, famous for providing high-quality gear and an extensive range of peripherals, but does the Corsair T3 Rush gaming chair live up to its reputation?
The Corsair T3 Rush Gaming Chair is a $320/£299 gaming chair (thought it can often be had for less), so it sits comfortably under the top rated from the likes of Secret Labs and in the mid-range of the scale. But will you sit comfortably on the T3, and does it warrant its place on our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming chair guide? Th𝓀e short answer is 'yes', but 🐻read on for all the details.
For the Corsair T3 Rush, construction is a relatively simple task. The fairly large box contains everything you need to put it together, including a funky little hex key/screwdriver combo tool that I'm definitely keeping for use elsewhere. I always try to make building a gaming chair as 'difficult' as it could be, so as to ensure the experience is real and genuine💯 - as a result, I approached it on my own, and in my own small office room. Being limited on space and hands didn't cause me any trouble though: the T3 Rush was built in about 15 minutes, and I got it right the first time (a rarity). The instructions are clear, with the majority of the build being intuitive as well as easily explained.
Upon completion, the first reaction is that the chair looks great: the subtle gray fabric, suitably sized bolsters, and unobtrusive flair make this chair perfect for those who spend their days working, and their evening's gaming on the same chair. It's easily subtle ♌enough for zoom meetings, but 'gamer-y' enough for furious adrenaline-filled battles.
The chair comes in grey and white (like our review unit) and other options of charcoal, or charcoal and grey - all are equally good-looking chairs and will fit into most aesthetics and setups. A ☂big part of this is the material used; the soft, breathable covering on the chair looks great, but is also functional, helping to maintain a stable temperature more effectively than any leather or leather-style chair I have tested. For me, this is a deal-breaker as I tend to run pretty hot when gaming - even more so during intense or stressful mult𝓀iplayer gaming sessions.
The armrests look (a bit) like carbon fibre weave, but they are actually hard-wearing but soft cushions - these are extremely comfortable, highly adjustable, and feel as sturdy as the rest of the chair. The casters - often an area of weakness on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:cheap gaming chairs - coped equally well over thick carpet or𒐪 wood flooring, moving freely, but still remaining stabl✅e.
Overall, everything feels very sturdy, nothꦕing squeaks and in over a mon⛦th of at least 8 hours a day, nothing has changed on that front.
Now the really important bit: what is actually like to sit on? And this proved to be an interesting experience. At first, I wasn’t immediately impressed with the comfort, but as I persevered and kept using the T3 Rush, it proved to be a provider of all-day comfort. I can easily sit on the T3 Rush for 8 hours of woꦚrk and then spend a good few more gaming afterward. It was almost like the most comfortable shoes as it took a few uses for it to break in.
I am a pretty big chap, at 6ft2 and 260lbs, so the bolsters, cushion, and frame need to support a fair bit - and they really do. The seat cushion provides comfort all day, and the snug fit encourages, and almost ensures, that I sit in an ergonomic way all the time. The chair comes with an additional lumbar support and neck pillow: I like the neck pillow when I am lounging and reclining, but, for me, the lumbar support pillow is too big and pushes me too far forward on the seat to be particularly useful. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Razer Iskur or the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Secretlab Titan Evo have adjustable lumbar support, and I wish the Corsair T3 Rush did too - though the other two 🐟are more expensive.
Although its looks probably give it away, there's no doubt that the T3 Rush is at home at a desk rather than trying to be a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gaming chair for PS4, PS5, or Xbox at a traditional TV setup. Instead, when combined with my 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Flexispot E7 desk - one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best standing desks we've tested - it slotted in beau𓆉tifully and excelled at providing co🔯mfort for work and play.
The T3 Rush from Corsair feels like a premium chair, at a non-premium price. High-quality materials in high-t𒐪ouch areas, with costs saved in low-touch areas, is a classic car manufacturer's trick, and it works here too. For $320/£299, this is a lot of chair for your money as sitting in it for hours is incredibly comfortable, and everything you touch on it feels great. I am a huge fan of the cloth covering, maintaining a comfortable temperature is a key featur🍰e here.
This chai🍒r would work for gamers and home workers, and it has a more subtle look than many, blending well into a multipurpose space. I wish it had built-in lumbar supp🐻ort, but that is all I would change.
We like to be thorough, and I used the Corsair T3 Rush gaming chair for over a month before coming to my conclusions. I used the chair for hundreds of hours for gaming, working, watching F1, and doing life admin. If anything, it has become more comfortable with time and has now become my go-to everyday chair for work𓃲 and play.
