Corsair T3 Rush Gaming Chair, an honest review - Pure_Ben! 

You wait till the next set of uploads, the soundbites will be unBahhhhhlievable 😂👌

Will do!

Thanks for watching Tony!

Thank you so much! I hope so too, it's tough balancing life and work with making videos but I'll do my best 😁

Thank you so much! I'm working on some more videos at the moment and I hope you'll enjoy them too 😁🤙

I'm really glad to hear it! That was my major concern too but it's helped so much. Well worth the money! :)

Hi Quentin! Get yourself a lint roller, they're good for lifting off any loose hair and flecks of dandruff if you have them. Follow that up with a damp cloth and dab any spots you need to and you're good I'd say. If that doesn't work, I'd probably suggest handwashing if you need to but by that point you'd be better heading to Google than talking to some random jabroni on RU-vid 😂 Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it :)

Your welcome. And thanks for the advice!

Just as good as day one, although it could do with a little WD40 on the bolts and screw holes. It creaks a little. I'd still recommend it everyday!

@@Pure_Ben thank you Sir

Your username is LITERALLY the best one I've seen in months, if not years! I love my chair, I'd always recommend shopping around and making the most informed decision possible before making the commitment, but I'm sure it would look after you. Thank you so much for subbing! :) I happen to be doing a giveaway at the moment which is open until April, if you're interested the video is on my channel. Thanks again!

@@Pure_Ben Well thanks! I originally used it because it was unique and not taken anywhere, and 17 years later that is still the case so I'm guess I'm stuck with it... I'll keep searching for a decent chair, no rush really so I don't mind taking my time to make the right choice. I left a comment on your other video - I look forward to future content, whatever it may be!

Thank you so much! I hope my next videos will make you laugh too 😁

You're very welcome Vexie, thanks so much for watching! I used to have a leather chair and literally had to peel myself off in the summer haha! That was literally my aim too with this one, I'm so glad you like it :D

Thanks for watching!

Thank you do much! 😁😁

Hi Alex, I've answered this question just now on Instagram! Thanks for the comment :)

The chair sit holds your body in place, the seat has wings to make your more comfortable. If you sit cross legged then the sides will push your legs up and apply pressure to your thighs, this will probably end up being quite uncomfortable or even painful. The arms are also quite close in and you will probably find it difficult to get your legs up. I hope this helped! Thanks for watching :)

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear it! :(

Hi Fernando, this colour of chair would definitely get stained easily. I try to avoid any messes around it but if I did get it dirty then I would probably use a spot stain remover or carpet/upholstery cleaner to clean any areas. I don't think the outer fabric can be removed to clean it sadly so you'd have to spot clean. I hope this answered your question! Cheers for watching :)

Hi Chelski, thanks for watching! You can unlock the entire seat and tilt it backwards but you need to apply continual pressure to keep it tilted or tilt the seat back backwards first before to shift your centre of gravity and keep your weight balanced. From what I can tell, you can't lock it into tilt. I hope this help! :)

Massive help, Ben. Thanks very much! Look forward to watching the rest of your videos.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Such a pleasure to meet you! :)

Hi Merv, I totally understand what you mean about the shoulders being pushed out and not sitting in the chair correctly. This chair has the top pillow that supports my neck and the wings at the side are fairly shallow, so it helps to support your upper back and shoulder rather than pushing against them. I have quite broad shoulders as well and I'm prone to having a stiff neck, I can recommend this chair. It's very comfortable and helped with my posture. I hope this helps with your choice! :)

Hi Arni! It's still really good! Gives me excellent back and neck support and it's fully adjustable to my favoured height and recline. I hope this helps :)

@@Pure_Ben awesome thanks, I'm still looking for a chair. Even maybe this one. But thanks for the info

No problem! This won't necessarily be the chair for you so I'd recommend researching like you probably are, check out PCGamer, they recently did a top 10 chairs review with s ores based on comfort, price and a few other criteria. It might help you out :)

@@Pure_Ben how you know it's not for me?? Lol nvm I've bought one already from a different brand. Thanks

😂 I was genuinely worried about putting that in but went with my gut. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, I hope I can make more videos for you to enjoy! :)

Really glad to hear it! Thanks so much for watching :D

@@Pure_Ben Yeah, would've been funnier if you actually had a meat beater and beat actual beef XD

Hi Mr. Unicorn! My general criteria for a new chair was breathable material, back support and affordability, in that order. A nice looking chair was preferred but if it came down to it, I'd take an ugly chair as long as it was comfortable. So first, that meant no leather chairs, it gets hot and humid in the summer and I got pretty sick of peeling myself off my old leather chair, getting a sweaty back but also sitting in a very cold chair during the winter. Secondly with back support in mind, the T3 reclines up to 180 degrees so you've got a very customisable angle of comfort which was great for me as I sit at my PC for long periods of time gaming, editing and so on. As far as cost goes, I consider the T3 expensive but good value for money. It was £250 and has a very good reviews which pushed it ahead slightly of competitors. I'm also a sucker for Corsair, it looks very nice in the colours I picked and matches my PC room furniture. With that being said, the T3 felt like a very good purchase for me, I never felt drawn to any other brands of chairs that I looked at including Secret Lab. I never took a look at AKRacing, I've looked now and I don't feel very strongly towards their style. The SL Titan series feels a bit too expensive for me at a base price of £480 for the fabric version, I'm not so happy or able to drop that on a chair but your opinion may differ. They have a longer warranty than Corsair provides and if you have a larger body then you may find them more comfortable making it a more worthwhile investment. I also used comparison sites and other reviewers to give me a decent benchmark. PC Gamer has an excellent top 10 comparison guide that's recently been updated with new releases (head to their site and search chairs). The T3 made an appearance on there too, which really helped me make my final decision. Regardless of what you go for, don't be a stranger! I'd love to hear what you went for. I hope this wall of text helps 😂

@@Pure_Ben hey buddy thanks for the wall! I was going to save and get the titan but then found the hyperx stealth... Pretty much the same thing.. So going by that I went ahead and got the t3! Just need to wait now thanks for the info,,!

Really glad to help! I'm sure the chair will change your life 😁

@@Pure_Ben I just stumbled upon this gem of information. I'm currently looking for a new fabric gaming chair and was unsure if the T3 was build for tall people as I am a pretty tall person myself and thought about the chair being quiet problematic at a certain height! Either way, thanks for the interesting review and detailed help in the comments!

Hi Shotosuga! It really depends how tall you are, I'd say the T3 caters to the lower end of average and above average? If you're taller than maybe 6'4 or 190cm then you might have some issues but it's really difficult without being able to get you sat in one. I'm around 5'10 myself so my opinion is probably less important and useful here so I'd recommend searching around for reviews from taller people, I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has had your problem online somewhere. If it's helpful, I'd be happy to measure the chair dimensions for you to help you make a more informative decision with this chair as listed height and width don't always correlate to comfort and allowance for shoulders and waist seating, especially for taller people. Thanks for watching though! And thank you for your kind words :D

Honestly it's still very good! I must be approaching a year on it now and I'm still very happy with the purchase :) No back pain either!

Hi Andrea! I'm just over 5'10 or 177cm. The backrest itself is 90cm high but lightly contoured inwards to allow for back curvature. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you found the video helpful :)

Hi Sorin! Thanks for watching! The Cookies & Cream chair does look super cool and Secretlab was one of the chair manufacturers that I was researching before making my choice. Ultimately I can't comment on whether their chair is any better or worse than the T3 Rush as I haven't tried it. I can tell you that the T3 is very comfortable, supportive, easy to build and cheaper. I went for the chair because it gave me everything the Secretlab promised it did at a cheaper price point. If you love the design of the Secretlab, get the Secretlab. If you really want a chair that does everything it does, now then buy the T3. I hope this helps! Thanks again for watching and I hope you would consider subscribing for future videos. ^.^

@@Pure_Ben Thanks for the advice. I finally decided to order a secret lab and it was a good decision as it was already shipped. Should have it in a couple of days :) Cheers!

No problem and congratulations! I hope you love your new chair, you'll have to let me know how it is when you've got it built and ready to go! Thanks again! :)

I certainly can Adil! I've had this chair now for about 18 months (time flies) and I'm still extremely happy with it. I've historically had terrible body posture and I spend a lot of my free time at my PC working at videos, playing games and so on. It was well worth the money I spent on it and I can see now that it's actually dropped in price recently, at least in the UK. I still recommend it, I still use it regularly and it's still very comfortable! I hope this helps and thanks for watching my video :)

@@Pure_Ben thank you for the update. As you said the price is now £200 which is very tempting. Also, thank you for the video! It was insightful and fun to watch 😂

Very tempting! Thank you so much! I hope the next video I drop is just as good :D

Still very, very good. I use it pretty much everyday, the fabric at the butt end of things is starting to loosen very slightly and the back wobbles a little bit so I think I need to re-tighten the bolts in that area but otherwise it's still great!

Thank you very much! :)

@@Pure_Ben Bought mine today. Forgot to take the cover for the gas pump and then had to take the base to fking fix it... really comfortable though!

Oh noooo! Building and having to take it apart again is the worst, especially for something that shouldn't take longer than half an hour. It usually takes me about an hour to make flat pack furniture 😂 I'm glad you're good with it now though! :)

Hi Raphael! I am slightly over 5,10" or just over 177cm tall. Thanks for watching!

Hi! The armrest ranges from 58CM to 65CM high while the chair is in the lowest position, depending on how high you have them set. :)

Yeah that's maybe a bit too quick for a developed crack mark, I'm over a year now I think with almost daily use and it's mostly minor so it sounds like the padding in your chair probably isn't all that great. I hope one way or another it gets resolved for you :)

Hi TK! When I got the chair I also had misgivings about the arms. They do seem to be quite loose but they're easy enough to tighten in the socket. They do move slightly but I think that's more to allow the arms to conform to where your arms physically rest and to give you a bit of natural movement, to help maintain an ergonomic profile. That might not be your speed but after 6 months I'm totally happy with the build quality. It's a very comfortable chair compared to my previous chair, which had fixed arms. I've had no issues with the directional movement either, the arm movement is smooth and they reliably lock in place. I use this feature quite a lot as I'm not the only user of the chair but so far, no issues has appeared. The loose arms could also be to facilitate the 4-D movement of the arms (up/down, left/right and forwards/backwards). I can't speak for other users, it's fair to expect some failure across an amount of units from any manufacturer so some of them may have had faulty chairs. If that's the case they should follow up with their warranty. They might also be used to more expensive chairs or chairs with different features for the arm rests. I hope this helped!

@@Pure_Ben just ordered the T3 Rush 😁

You legend! You'll need to let me know what you think of it but I'm sure it'll be great :)

@@TK-rr1gj 9 months later 👀

@@iamTruthify No regrets, love the chair, armrests are firmly attached to the chair. Just the 3d adjustment has a big play left/right. I'll try to tighten them up. 👊👊👊😎

Hi! It's still super good, although I think I might need to re-tighten a few bolts in the base, the backrest tends to shift a little bit. I've actually had the chair for 10 months now and I'm still very satisfied with my purchase. :) I hope this helps and thanks for watching/commenting!

@@Pure_Ben would you recommend it if I plan on using it for 3-4 years?

I fully intend on using this chair for the next 5 years providing that it doesn't break or suffer any damage, and I wouldn't recommend it unless I was very happy with it. I hope this helps! :)

@@Pure_Ben alright, all I have to do now is to test it before buying one. Thanks for the advice. appreciate it.

FLORIDA MAAAAN!

Hi Arek, I am about 5 foot 10 inches or 177.8cm. Hope this helps!

They do, possibly one of the only drawbacks I've experienced on the chair. Having arms that can be adjusted to multiple directions I think need a few compromises to fit features. Having said that though, I feel it's an easy thing to live with but that's my opinion. If it would bother you (which is fair!) then maybe a different model or brand would be more your speed. In either case, thank you very much for watching my video, I really appreciate it! :)

Thanks, that's generally what I aim for! 😏
