More than anything else, a gaming chair should make it easier for you to enjoy the games you love. To that end, the T3 Rush is a success. The feature I was most concerned about, the fabric exterior, turned out to be my favorite quality of the whole chair. It’s so much more breathable compared to PU leather that it never once overheated or made me sweat. It’s a chilly winter here in Western New York, so heat isn’t exactly an issue anyway, but I still found the fabric nicer to sit in over long gaming sessions. It needs to be cleaned more often but I found that to be a worthwhile trade-off. For the cost of entry, the T3 Rush still feels like a generous offering. After putting it together, the finish issues weren’t noticeable and the plastic is perfectly functional. Given my size, even the thinner foam didn’t really impact me. Instead, you have a chair that sacrifices little and delivers a lot at a substantial discount against other competitors in its category. Corsair T3 Rush – Assembly The foam here is also notably thinner than either of Corsair’s other chairs, or the two Noblechairs I had on hand to compare against. The actual seat cushions are fine, if a bit firm, but you can easily feel the metal frame inside the seat bolsters. The T3 Rush is one of the few chairs I’ve ever had this happen with – it does make sitting cross-legged more uncomfortable and, again, will likely make the chair more uncomfortable for wider users. The only time the T3 ever took me out of the game was when I’d try crossing my legs and feel the frame. Thankfully, it only took small adjustments to solve the issue and it was never an issue sitting normally. Purchasing Guide

There are also some issues with the overall fit and finish. The recline handle on the unit I received was marred with marks and plastic burrs from the mold, though this could just be my unit. On the underside of the chair, two of the bolts also had unsightly masses from the welding process pictured below. Since this is out of sight, it doesn’t make a meaningful difference but it did stand out to me when I was putting the chair together. The T3 Rush is supremely adjustable and I love it. The Class-4 gas lift provides 10 cm of height adjustment to match your desk. It also has 4D armrests, allowing you to raise and lower them, adjust their width, angle, and even their depth. This is a great feature if you find yourself sitting at your desk a lot and need to change position between holding a Xbox One controller, typing at a gaming keyboard, or even reclining to put your feet up and binge on Netflix.
