Giving it 86% in her Corsair TC100 Relaxed review back in 2023, Katie said, “As always, Corsair has waltzed into the gaming chair space with a refined racer-style chair that’s not going to have you remortgaging for the privilege of sitting in it.” Two years later, those words have only become more true as the chair has gotten cheaper and cheaper. We have seen the TC100 Relaxed as low as $170 before, but it’s still an absolute steal at under $150.
The deal we’ve highlighted gives you the option of the Black and Gray model or just the Black model, and at the same price. My money would be going on the Black model because of how sleek and stylish it looks, but you get the same material either way.
As well as being inspired by racing chairs, the TC100 Relaxed comes with a detachable memory foam neck pillow and adjustable lumbar support. This, and the soft bucket seat, contribute to a very comfortable feel. It also has a solid recline (going from 90 to 160 degrees) so you can really sink into this chair. Not only that, but it’s also big enough that you can even sit cross-legged, which is a big boon for fidgety sitters like myself.
We do, however, feel the lack of 4D armrests is a bit disappointing. Being 2D, you can move them up and down, and in and out, but you don’t have the freedom to really angle them to accompany your posture. Given the rest of the chair is so comfortable, having slightly more adjustable armrests would tie the whole package up in a slightly more cosy bow.
We also found it a tad painful to put together. We struggled to get the bolts into place as the threading on the holes appeared to be a little less thoughtfully designed than the rest of the chair. Finally, the headrest has limited adjustability, which means you really gotta like the way it’s positioned.
These are relatively light concerns for a gaming chair that very rightly blows away similarly priced competition. Even at MSRP, it’s still a bit of a bargain, so saving $80 on it makes it even better. That breathable fabric will come in particularly handy in this hot Summer heat too.
