Corsair T3 Rush Gaming Chair (Breathable Soft Fabric Exterior, Padded Neck Cushion, Memory Foam Lumbar Support, 4D Armrests, 180 Degree Recliner, Easy Assembly)

4.0 out of 5 stars So far so good
It’s a heavy package and buying from Amazon saved on the delivery cost. It’s a more substantial chair than my creaky, low cost Chinese chair I bought previously on Amazon. You have to visit the Corsair web site to find the manual but the chair is not too hard to assemble. Don’t try to remove what look likes a blue plastic cap on the piston, and cut yourself like I did. I’m not a fan of the bucket designed seats found in gaming chairs, but the seat is not as narrow as some I’ve seen. When I first sat in the chair after assembly I didn’t find it very comfortable, but after a bit of tweeking I’m getting used to it. Hopefully the fabric cover holds up better over time than the micron thick, false leather cover on my previous Chinese chair, which I also had a contact allergy to. It doesn’t have lockable castors. Overall I’m satisfied and so far think it’s worth it’s price.

3.0 out of 5 stars After 3 Years with Heavy Usage – Not Durable
I am a heavy user. I’m on this chair both for work and when I play games. And I can tell with absolute certainty that after 3 years, this becomes a basic chair that isn’t comfortable and with damage just by usage.- The chair had misaligned screw holes so the back and the bottom wasn’t aligning properly (didn’t bother me much)- After a year, the armrests became flimsy, bent away from my arms, and on 3rd year they became unable to be screwed tight, hence was moving around (no I did not over tighten or used a drill till I tried bigger screws to try to tighten them as a last resort 2 weeks ago)- Got a puncture thanks to a staple piece inside bending upwards. Makes it “much” more uncomfortable and now I have holes on the upholstery.If you want something to last, avoid this. In fact, avoid any gaming chair anyway and get a proper ergonomic chair. (I had a noblechair that burst its upholstery after 2 years, but again maybe because of my usage, add a shrug emoji here)

3.0 out of 5 stars 187cm/6ft2 100kg/220lbs? Avoid (yes I know it says you’ll fit)
Felt like I’d been squeezed into a hammock, much too small for me, (I’m slim) had to send back but god that’s an ordeal in itself, getting those bits apart… Went for a secret labs XL in the end, fingers crossed…

4.0 out of 5 stars You get what you paid for
I bought this at £199 and I believe that is a reasonable price for this chair. I was using a wooden chair from dining set before, so the difference is day and night (as you would expect). I can sit on this chair for many hours without discomfort most of the time. Arm rest controls are really good, it seems flimsy at first but during usage it doesn’t bother me one bit. Height adjust is good, wheels are butter smooth on wooden floor, I then had to move to a carpeted room and it’s still usable but nowhere near same smoothness which isn’t a huge surprise. There are a lot of positives about the product, but here are some things:- The lumbar support cushion is a mystery for me. it’s not even clear which way is up and there is no system to adjust its height so every time I wanna use the chair I need to spend some time finding the best spot. Some velcro or another solution to keep it in place would be useful. I think some informative text about this in the guide would be very useful too because personally I don’t know much about how this cushion is supposed to be used.- The “gamer look” has a concave design, touching my shoulders and kind of forcing them to look inwards. It offers no functionality and it doesn’t even look that good.- Seat is very comfortable but I can see that the colour is changing already a little. Also, there is no instructions on how to clean it and keep it fresh (unless I missed them, but I did check the papers carefully).Overall, I am happy but this is not a perfect chair by any means. I also wouldn’t pay any higher than £200.

4.0 out of 5 stars A chair that helps keep back pain at bay!
I have a really bad back due to multiple reasons, and I wanted a chair that wasn’t broken, but I also wanted a chair that could give me fantastic back support.This chair is rather lovely, it’s quite comfortable and the cushions that come with the chair is so good for me. My back doesn’t really hurt so much and I love that you can adjust how you can place the back of the chair, giving it more support. I also really love that the neck cushion is a little stiff, great for neck support!The only thing I didn’t factor in before purchasing this is my height, out of all things! I am a bit on the shorter side and when the chair is at its highest my tootsies just touch the floor. Putting it all together was also a little tedious, but I think that’s because it was my first gaming chair.All in all, it’s a lovely gaming chair and I am glad to have made the purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable for using at a desk
This chair gets really good reviews, with the majority saying that it is really comfortable, so I had no doubt it would be excellent for sitting at a desk. It was easy to assemble and I couldn’t fault the build quality, but as soon as I say on (or should I say, in) the chair I knew it wasn’t right for me. The issue I had is that the front edge of the seat is too high relative the centre – it’s like a sports car seat, which are designed for a person sitting with their legs stretched in front of them, and to prevent the person sliding forward under hard braking. However, when I’m sitting at my desk I don’t have my legs stretched out straight in front of me, I want them on the floor directly in front of the chair, or if I’m leaning forward I want my feet under the chair. Trying to sit in this position was really uncomfortable.In my pictures the box is horizontal (parallel to floor). The chair might be okay if it was possible to tilt the base forward so that the gap could be made smaller. To prove this would be the case, I actually tried fitting the seat to the tilting mechanism backwards (so instead of being able to rock backwards, the chair would only rock forwards) and it was more comfortable.Ultimately I decided it was a lot of money to pay for a chair that I would not be comfortable on, so I took the decision to disassemble it, pack it back into the huge box and pay to return it to Amazon. Extracting the piston was quite a task, but lots of WD40 did the trick. The return postage was over £20 but Amazon only refunded £4.75, so I lost over £16, but I think it was the correct decision.

3.0 out of 5 stars Avoid if your are older than 14 or work out.
Pros; easy assembly, great adjustment, quality feel, looks fantastic and the support cushions are nice.Cons; undersized, rickety with certain movements, can’t lock the arm rests in position, dimensions not accurately described and customer support sucks so bad it’s mesmerising. In conclusion the chair is uncomfortable for myself and friends who tried it for more then a short stint, the thigh bolster/seat wings are counted in they seat dimensions meaning If you have thick thighs or don’t skip leg day you will very quickly feel the seat digging into your hamstrings/outer leg, same issue on your back/ribs if you don’t use the back cushion. So if you are under 5’10 and a slimmer build or a child this would be a fantastic chair BUT if you are are a bigger build, 5’10 or bigger or on the heavier side I’d avoid this chair.Ps I kinda feel the seat was incorrectly made or the metal wings were welded or set in the wrong place/angle, I did flag this issue to both Corsair and Amazon to get a replacement seat and send this one back, unfortunately after nearly 2 weeks I’ve had no reply and I’ve refunded this chair and opted for something more appropriate for a grown man.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and underperforming
For reference, I am 6″ tall and slim build, using a desk at 70cm high.PROS* Good fabric quality* Good range on back tilt mechanism and adjustment* Looks good in grey and black compared to some other gaming chairs* Feels stableCONS* Chair bucket does not conform to standards for good posture – Front of the bucket is higher than back, very uncomfortable – No ability to tilt chair forward to solve this (knee-tilt mechanism) – In order to keep feet on the ground the chair must be lowered, but this puts it at a height that is far lower than even the lower value of a standard desk height (73cm)* 4D armrests aren’t fit for purpose – They don’t adjust far enough back to give support if you want to get close to the desk – Yaw adjustment isn’t “sticky” enough to remain in position as resting any weight on them causes them to shiftThis isn’t the worst chair I’ve had, but I expected a lot more for the price. I would have been better off getting an office chair with more levels of adjustment.I will be trying to source replacement parts for the knee tilt mechanism and the arm rests in order to try and make this chair suitable for longer-term use, as currently I get very uncomfortable after an hour of use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable chair
The chair is well made, the metal base to the seat means there is no creaking like many other chairs I have had. Hopefully the material will wear better than the fake leather of other chairs. The seat base is firm and the lumbar support and neck cushions make for a comfortable chair. I was so impressed I purchased a second chair for my son.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong contender vs the SecretLab Titan
I own a (fabric) SecretLab Titan and the T3 Rush stacks up very well against it, at roughly half the price. The T3 Rush is extremely comfortable, even more so than the Titan I would say. The T3 is a snugger fit – more like a racing bucket seat – so might not be to everyone’s taste, but fits my 5’10” 13 stone frame very nicely! It’s well upholstered and the build quality seems very good with respect to the castors, arm-rests and adjustments. There are a few things to be mindful of – it has a relatively low “maximum seat height” that plays to its use as a racing seat, but I don’t think would be suitable for a taller desk/frequent office work. The arm-rests are also quite easy to push out of your preferred alignment, which can be a bit annoying. Overall, this seems an excellent gaming chair and definitely a good quality, cheaper alternative to something like the Titan, particularly if you’re into your racing games!

5.0 out of 5 stars **Read if you work from home/you game for hours**
This chair is the most comfortable thing I think I’ve ever sat in! Easy to install and lower back pain immediately gone. My previous ‘gaming chair’ (£150) lasted two years and got extremely uncomfortable after 3 months of use and of course it eventually collapsed on me. So I decided to invest the money into this chair and I can fully say I have no regrets! Do yourself a favour and just spend that little extra in getting a chair like this. Your back will thank you!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very uncomfortable due to the seat side wings
Here’s the problem. Those two wings you see to either side of the seat? They contain a metal frame. A metal frame that has about 1cm of padding over it.So when you sit in the seat, your thighs are pressing into both of those wings, which means you hit the metal frame underneath. I have sore points on either thigh, because of this. I sit comfortably within the seat itself but there’s zero protection against the frame in the wings.Other problems, like the tilt control being bent and the seat not being level back to front (the front rises above the rear, oddly). Also the tilt lock, in the description, is ambiguous as best. Wrong at worst. The lock prevents the seat from tilting. It doesn’t lock the tilt position you choose in place.Overall, if the wings were flatter and had more padding to them, it would be fine but as is it’s basically unusable unless you’re willing to accept soreness in the outside of both thighs.
