The Corsair TC100 Relaxed gaming chair, previously a standout budget option, has returned to its lowest price point of $180 at Best Buy. This significant price drop swings the value proposition back in favor of the Corsair chair, especially when compared to similarly priced alternatives that may not offer the same build quality or features.
First reviewed by PC Gamer nearly two years ago, the TC100 has endured extensive use in its offices, showing minimal signs of wear. This durability is highlighted in contrast to other gaming chairs where materials and construction have failed prematurely. The chair includes adjustable lumbar support and a movable neck pillow, providing a degree of customization for comfort during long gaming sessions. While the armrests offer two degrees of movement, they are not as robust or as adjustable as those found on higher-end models, a trade-off expected at this price point.
For those considering the material versus leatherette finish, the $180 deal at Best Buy features a leatherette coating, which offers easier cleaning of spills. The fabric-covered variant, while potentially more aesthetically refined for some, is priced higher at approximately $270.
This sale represents a significant opportunity to enhance a gaming setup with a durable and comfortable chair at an exceptionally low price, a level not seen since a Black Friday event several years ago. It offers a tangible upgrade to a gaming environment without the expense typically associated with high-end PC components.
