Corsair goes back to basics with entry-level TC80 gaming chair

Corsair has announced the worldwide launch of the TC80 gaming chair, a new addition to its lineup aimed at gamers, creators and everyday users. The chair focuses on long‑term comfort and durability, backed by more than 30 individual safety and reliability tests.

Corsair’s testing regime for the TC80 includes drop‑load, backrest load, seating durability, tilt‑mechanism and armrest‑cycle tests, alongside stability checks and swivel endurance testing. The chair meets both BIFMA X5.1 and EN 1335 standards, reflecting its focus on structural strength and ergonomic support.

The TC80 features a wide flat seat with plush padding, breathable fabric upholstery with leatherette accents, and a detachable neck pillow. Self‑levelling armrests adjust automatically as users recline, while a steel 5‑star base, 50mm casters and a steel Class 4 gas lift provide a stable foundation. Height adjustment spans 100mm, and the chair offers a smooth recline from 90° to 115° with continuous angle locking rather than preset positions. Recline tension can also be tuned to personal preference, and Corsair says assembly is designed to be quick and straightforward.

The TC80 launches in a single black fabric‑and‑leatherette finish and joins Corsair’s existing lineup alongside the TC100 RELAXED and TC500 LUXE. Pricing starts at £169.99/€179.90/$199.99, with regional variations listed on Corsair’s website. The chair is backed by a two‑year warranty.

KitGuru Says: The TC80 lands as Corsair’s most affordable gaming chair, offering a simpler feature set but a solid build and competitive pricing.
