Today we're taking a look at Corsair's latest gaming chair, the TC200. After being fairly impressed with the TC60 last year, I was quite excited to get my hands on this given there are a number of improvements – notably, the more premium materials, including the powder-coated metal base and 75mm anti-roll castors. We put this chair through its paces today and find out if it is worth buying.

KitGuru says: The TC200 is certainly an improvement over the TC60 I reviewed previously, however, ergonomic options still feel lacking. While I do love the recline mechanism on this chair too, it's not convenient for those using two hands to game (especially when in an intense session) as you need a free hand to operate it.
