Building the TC200 was straightforward, but, like always, I try to make the builds as 'difficult' as I can, by not asking for help from friends and building it in my tiny gaming space. This was another easy offering from Corsair, with simple-to-follow instructions and about a 15-minute build time. The chair goes together quite easily, and a bit of common sense means you can’t go far wrong. As a final feature, Corsair advertises the floor castors, which allow the chair to glide easily over the floor. In fact, we can confirm this: In comparison, the T3 Rush moves very smoothly over surfaces – but not too easily either. Compared to many other gaming chairs, the chair is much easier to move from the spot, although we consider this advantage to be a nice extra: If you have it, you’ll be happy – and if you’re used to the heavier castors of many other chairs, you’ll still be able to cope with them. Fulness Like all of the chairs I have and will test, they have to go through many 8-hour days of work - at my Flexispot E7 desk; one of the best standing desks - and a fair few hours of gaming too on most days. The headline on comfort is that the TC200 is a joy to sit in for all these hours, no matter what I was doing. And I want to particularly highlight the lumbar support in the TC200, as this made it so I didn't need to adjust my position too much. All day comfort is a real thing here.

The next gaming chair on the list is the Secretlab Titan Evo XL. Pretty much the biggest brother of the Secretlab Titan Evo as the latter is more suited for the normal-sized populace. Anyhow, this gaming chair model swapped a few parts from the standard version with bigger variants, which gives it more weight capacity and max height. This gaming chair also has the same features that the smaller Secretlab Titan Evo has, like the 4D armrests, lumbar support, and adjustable height and tilt.The foam here is also notably thinner than either of Corsair’s other chairs, or the two Noblechairs I had on hand to compare against. The actual seat cushions are fine, if a bit firm, but you can easily feel the metal frame inside the seat bolsters. The T3 Rush is one of the few chairs I’ve ever had this happen with – it does make sitting cross-legged more uncomfortable and, again, will likely make the chair more uncomfortable for wider users.

You will end up losing your pen down the side of the bolsters but I really do like the style. Maybe you could even store your pens down there. The possibilities are endless. At the beginning Corsairs T3 Rush will cost 280 Euro, at the moment the chair will be sold for € 8.88 (€ 4.48 / l)* (Charcoal), Price not available * (Gray / Charcoal) or € 449.00 * (Gray / White). For the starting price, the company’s currently cheapest model is a good choice that hardly allows itself any weaknesses: the T3 Rush does a lot right, the points of criticism are small. Just like the Corsair T3 Rush I tested and reviewed, this chair is available in a variety of colours, with the added option of a leatherette (read: 'faux leather') option. Our unit came in charcoal - the other options being grey and white (the colourway of my T3 Rush which is the colourway I have the T3 Rush in), charcoal and white, and a charcoal-coloured leatherette. Any choice you make will leave you pleased with its appearance, as it is a well-designed and finished chair from an aesthetic point of view. However, I would say that fabric edges it over leather or leatherette for me in a chair, as it regulates temperature better.

The only time the T3 ever took me out of the game was when I’d try crossing my legs and feel the frame. Thankfully, it only took small adjustments to solve the issue and it was never an issue sitting normally. Purchasing Guide The T3 Rush costs 280 Euros to start with and is therefore the cheapest gaming chair currently available from Corsair: the T1 costs 300 Euros, the T2 340 Euros. In the meantime, the real prices are mostly somewhat lower than recommended by Corsair.

What Is the Corsair T3 Rush?

Meanwhile, the head cushion also has cold molded foam as well as some quality leather. The base is still the usual 5-star steel base but reinforced for extra stability and strength. With a max load of 120 kilograms and a 5’3 to 6 ft. suitable height, it’s a pretty decent gaming chair height all told.

There are also some issues with the overall fit and finish. The recline handle on the unit I received was marred with marks and plastic burrs from the mold, though this could just be my unit. On the underside of the chair, two of the bolts also had unsightly masses from the welding process pictured below. Since this is out of sight, it doesn’t make a meaningful difference but it did stand out to me when I was putting the chair together. 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 work 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.From a pure comfort perspective, the T3 Rush took me a little while to find my comfort zone; I did end up finding it very comfortable, but it took some time. I have experienced the reverse of this with the Corsair TC200, and the second I sat on it I knew that the seat and I were going to get along well.
