CORSAIR releases T1 RACE Gaming Chair
There are countless gaming accessories nowadays, such as mice, keyboards, and headsets to name a few. Believe it or not, some companies even design gaming furniture. Yes, chairs designed for playing video games are a real thing. Not only are there seats for living rooms and bedrooms, but for computer desks too. Are gaming chairs gimmicky? A bit, but they are very fun too!
Today, CORSAIR releases the T1 RACE Gaming Chair. While the design is inspired by racing games, it can be sat in while playing any genre. In fact, it can serve as a normal office chair too, so you can look cool while editing spreadsheets in Excel. It is even rated for an impressive 265 pounds.
"Inspired by racing, crafted for comfort and built to last, the T1 Race joins CORSAIR’s award-winning range of mice, keyboards, headsets and mousepads to complete the ultimate gaming experience. Built using a solid steel skeleton and dense foam cushions, the T1 RACE has the strength to ensure a lifetime of sturdiness, while it’s 4D-movement armrests raise, lower, shift and swivel to put gamers in the most comfortable position every time. Styled to turn heads and finished with immaculate attention to detail, the T1 RACE is the gaming chair your desk deserves," says Corsair.
The famed tech company also shares, "T1 RACE's sculpted race-seat design and included neck and lumbar PU leather pillows provide adjustable support for day-long gaming sessions, while its 4D-moment armrests effortlessly adjust in height, width, position and angle to put your arms precisely where they need to be. A steel construction Class 4 gas lift provides reliable height adjustment, while the seat itself tilts up to 10° and can recline anywhere between 90° to 180°, lying completely flat for when you need to take a break from the action. Finishing the T1 RACE's attention to detail, the CORSAIR logo is tastefully embroidered into the rear of the chair, and lightly embossed into the headrest for maximum comfort."
If you have wood floors, the nylon caster wheels are an absolute must -- they will protect from dents and scratches. I added similar wheels to my computer chair recently and it has been a great experience. CORSAIR deserves kudos for including these much-coveted wheels and not charging more for them.
The CORSAIR T1 RACE Gaming Chair is surprisingly affordable at $349. While that is much more than a low-quality no-name brand chair from a local office supply store, you get what you pay for, folks. This chair appears to be of great quality, and it is a name-brand offering too -- it should last.
Want one? You can buy it here in your choice of five colors -- Black, Blue, Red, White, and Yellow.
