Corsair TC200 Gaming Chair Review

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.

Pros:

• 4D armrests with lots of adjustment options.
• 90-180 degree recline for relaxing.
• Very comfortable.
• Includes neck pillow to aid neck ergonomics.
• Available in both fabric and leatherette.

Cons:

• Lumbar support is not adjustable.
• The headrest on the chair is not really useful.
• 4D armrests require a button to adjust.
• Castors are quite rattly and loud.
• Side bolsters could be uncomfortable for wider people.
• Fairly expensive at £350.

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.
